We had our existing sidewalk replaced with stonework (large pavers and stone edging). We had seen other work in the area done by Champagne's company and were impressed. We talked to the people who had the work done and they highly recommended this company. We got various quotes and spoke to the bidders to determine how confident we would be working with them. Matt from Champagne came across as the most cooperative and informative. He explained in detail the job he would be doing, and took into account our particular concerns (making the front edge of the steps a different shade than the flat surfaces to stand out a bit for safety, adjusting the height of the step going into the house since it was not well spaced vertically, etc). When we were confused about colour selection for the walkway, Matt volunteered to meet us at the stone supplier and spent an hour talking with us about stone selection. Matt's crew had laid one pattern close to the driveway and asked if it was OK as they laid it; we said it was but later in the day changed our minds, so Matt adjusted it - no problem, no extra cost. We needed some unexpected brickwork at the area where the old step met the house entrance and Matt arranged to have a mason do that work at no extra expense to us, no hassle. The final product is excellent. This was a hassle-free, highly cooperative contract. A lot of companies can lay stonework; we're glad that we went with a contractor who is highly cooperative and easy to get along with, someone we trust; it takes the anxiety out of the process.
