Buidling special deck around in-door swim pool

For our project, we had several BBB referred contractor and interviewed tghem on site. Among 8 of them, Blue Lake came with positive response and we had other contractor as well very liked. After the second round and reviewing their web-site we convinced that they can do the work as it is a specially design of house. Blue Lake estimator attended several times to make sure our plan works well and accommodate what we wanted. They care about the design as it was custom home and indoor swim pool purchased out of country. They came with close estimate and started to prepare the job site very quickly. They completed the work in 2 days and we really liked the quality and the fact that other contractors that we got quote did not know about how to do it. We have no hesitate to recommend them for common and or custom landscaping/decking project. They are very reliable and professional.

There was a slow start to the project but I could not be more please with the work done. The project manager came a checked on the job being done and made sure it was up to the company standards. The designer also made sure that I was please with the job. I would highly recommend this company.

Concrete and Landscaping

This company is horrible.-
- Chipped and uneven concrete relief lines done after the fact with a handheld concrete saw.
- Drainage grate not installed
- 4/6 dead trees they damaged when planting
The owners only care about getting paid and not about their work and will try to bully you into paying. Complaint is being filed with BBB.

Approximate cost of services:
$26,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Treat their customers with more respect and not try to get out of honoring their warranty.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Find another contractor to do the job. They will regret dealing with Blue Lake.

Thank you for your review Collin, I would like an opertunity to express my thoughts to releate to your review unfortunately our goal is to make sure all of our customers are left happy and with the thought they have made the right decision choosing Blue Lake as there contractor of choice, as to the complaint it was unfortunate the trees didn't do so well in the soil conditions presented in your yard this unfortunately happens some times with planting a living organism it may not survive in certain conditions, your change order for the grate was submitted late to the office and do apologize it didn't get to the field on time to get done the concrete chips I don't recall any issues with that on your file.

Replace front driveway and landscape front yard

We requested a quote which was provided promptly and came in $3M less than competitors. Work was completed professionally and in a timely manner. Workers were very attentive and provided the product requested and cleaned up the site when finished. We were well satisfied with the end product and understand a couple people in the neighborhood have contacted Blue Lake after seeing the finished product.. Would recommend.

Decorative Concrete

Do NOT use this company! We hired Blue Lake to concrete part of our yard. They totally got our colour wrong by adding a powdered resistance that looks sloppy and unprofessional. They began threatening us when we voiced our concern while completely not taking any responsibility for their mistake. Fab and Moe the owners were both very aggressive and condescending towards us. We were told our 10,000.00 dollar job was minuscule compared to what they normally do and that they have no intention of repairing their mistake as it does not benefit them financially. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linzey, I am sorry you feel this way our team did an exceptional job on your project unfortunately you were un happy with the colors you selected off our color charts, we indeed confirmed these colors together prior to the order and after the work was preformed we carried out the project as per the specs that were selected at the time you signed your contract agreement, its unfortunate but there is nothing we can do for you at no additional cost, otherwise we would have been happy to help you further.

deck and complete landscaping

I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company at all! total missing construction coordination, several quality issues on both deck and landscape, delay over and beyond the acceptable, irrigation system still not in service after "declared" complete work one month ago, deck soffit and fascia not installed after 2 months of deck erected. Horrific experience.

Thank you for your review Marino, we endeavor to make everyone's experience with Blue Lake a positive one unfortunately your project did have some delay's and due to bad weather and the hail that occurred in Calgary's surrounding areas siding installers were very difficult to get a hold of in the time we required your soffit to be done, your project required a lot of attention to detail as you are full aware of with the amount of work that was required on your sites there's always a chance things may not go as planned and it was unintentional and we will strive to improve from this experience.

Landscaping Project

Be Warned!! Do not use this company. Horrific experience from start to finish. From the start, the company failed to come up with a design that suited our needs, their design was very generic and lacked detailed, and if you requested any change the charged $150 as "change fee". Fab was nothing but a used car salesman and he would promised you the world and that everything would be done no problem. When the project started, they incurred damage to the owner's property and incurred damages on other people's property. The project was two months behind scheduled and materials used was poor quality, ie. used loam instead of garden/potting soil in the garden beds, garden lights stopped working within weeks. Plants/shrubs already died after one season. We raised all our issues with the company and they failed to acknowledge or attempt to resolve issue at hand, but rather blamed us the client. Do not use this company if you want a good job and get ripped off. Avoid at all cost. We hired a new landscaping company to fix their "cutting corners" and poor work and even they commented that their work was not good.

Dear Mr Greenspan, I would like to take this chance to express my thoughts on your review although after discussing this further with our personal we cant seem to determine which site this is you are referring to, I can comment on the change order fee of $150. being apart of our company procedures when changing any details after contract is signed the $150. is charged to cover the costs of administration involved in making the changes this is standard across the board in the industry, to hear all your plants died after one season seams odd and alarming I would have to say it sounds like the soil that is present at your home could be the reason or over watering this is a living organism and unfortunately if not taken care of using the appropriate measures the result is negative, ultimately this is no company's goal and certainly not Blue Lakes, we strives to better our capability in improving performance with product we install for customers in there landscapes.

Landscaping

When looking for a landscaping who will accommodate both me and my husband it was very hard. I found with most of them that unless you have a big budget they will not even take the time to come out and see you. When I contacted Blue Lake they did not even ask me what my budget was, and the accommodated with both me and my husbands schedule. We knew we wanted to re do our back yard and had some idea what we wanted but was not sure, but when the estimated Moe came out to see us he answered all of our questions and suggested what we could do. We decided to build a deck and get a stamp patio, Moe provided the free estimate right away and the job was started and completed right on schedule. There staff was very friendly and professional at all times and it was a pleasure Woking with all of them. I have recommended Blue Lake to all my friends and family. Thank you Blue Lake for the amazing job, we were very pleased from beginning to the end of the project.
