Action Home Services

Our front walkway and landing were crumbling. Action Home Services removed the old flagstone from our front walkway and demolished the old landing which was made from sand and paver stones. They then poured a new reinforced concrete walkway and landing, and covered them with granite stones.

As a second job, the pavers on our driveway and the path between the driveway and our front door had sunk almost 2 inches lower than our garage. Action Home Services removed sunk paver stones, regraded the driveway and path, and relayed the pavers. They also made the path wider re-using the stones salvaged from the front landing.

When he came to quote the job I was very impressed by John's abilities to understand our requirements and provide options to meet them. He described in detail the construction methods he would use, and I could tell that he knew exactly how to do a quality job.

All my emails and phone calls to John were responded to within one day, and usually within two hours. When the job ran into a snag because the stone supplier did not have the stone we chose in stock, John arranged for the supplier to help us choose alternative stones. I found out after the job that the supplier had also run out of our second selection, but that instead of making us choose a third stone John sourced the missing stones using three other suppliers. The job called for re-grading the new walk to eliminate one of the steps, making the walk wheelchair accessible. John's crew not only regraded the walk but also the surrounding grass so the walk would fit in perfectly.

The job started and ended in the timeframe John gave me at the time of the quotation. His crew was friendly and obviously very experienced. At the end of the job they cleaned up everything and reseeded the lawn where needed.

John's initial quotation was competitive, and he was fair in dealing with the increase in price for the stones since the job was quoted using slate but the stones we finally used were granite.

We have received many compliments on our new walkway. We plan to seal it in the fall and we will be using Action Home Services to do the job.

professional , competent , quick and I know we received good value for the work. I would never hesitate to refer them and or to hire them again to do work for us.

Looks great. Timely crew appearance and completion. Polite knowledgeable crews. Responsive to questions and requests. Detailed written terms.

I have been the contractor for my entire house and for this project I wanted to find someone who I could rely on with good work ethics and good quality.
We got about 4-5 quotes but the conduct of John from action home services is what made us choose him .
His quote was a bit more but it was worth it.
They have hard working people 12 hour days.
The project was a week long and we had some bumps thru out, from lots of renovations experience I can say that can happen what is important is how the contractor approaches the bumps and Johns personality and how he fixed it is my reason for recommending him to everyone I know . On top of it he did some extra with no further charge .
I would not hesitate hiring him again.

They did a great job on my driveway. Very courteous and professional. Left my property in great shape - no mess. The representative was very friendly and provided me with some great information and tips. I will definitely recommend that my neighbour use them to do his side of the driveway now.

The most important fence in the world…

…And thanks to Action Home Services, my very challenging fence project went smoothly despite a spate of obstruction and interference from my hostile and bullying neighbour. This fence job included the presence of two police officers, a couple of city property standards inspectors and even an official from the Province! Sadly I’ve had to accept that living next to perhaps the worst property standards violator in all to Scarborough has its challenges – and this fence was one of them. Through it all Action Home Services, and team leader Rennet (sp?), persisted with professionalism and perseverance along with attention to detail to complete the job skilfully and on time. Thank you, thank you Action Home services! This was one tough fence job!

We are very happy with the work that was done on our backyard. The whole process was smooth and work was completed on time. When giving the quote John gave us good suggestions, crew came to work on time and were responsive to our requests. Strongly recommend AHS for this type of projects!

Very quick, arrived in 2 days of my request and a beautiful job. Would highly recommend. Marrianne

Great guys and great service. these guys came in and broke my old deck in a matter of hours. As soon as they disposed the material all the new wood and composite arrived. they have put in the post and finished my deck in 2 days. Loved the job

Eugene came to my house for the initial estimated. I liked the professional approach and the understanding of my needs. We agreed right away although his price was slightly higher than other competitors. However, the project is done now and I couldn't be anymore happier. I received exactly what I expected and these guys worked everyday even in the rain. Good job
