Ted & Carolyn from Burlington

After checking a few other companies that profess to do Patterned Concrete we found that most were not able to show us much work that they had done recently which caused some concern since this was going to be a large and lasting project for us. Checking on the Internet we came up with Patterned Concrete and visited their office. We were met by Susy who took a lot of time to patiently explain their process - showed us many examples of their work - gave us an extensive list of completed jobs that we could go and see. We did visit a few in our area and were impressed with the finished product which helped us decide to go with Patterned Concrete. Nothing beats looking at finished work. They also had some samples of the patterns and colours at the showroom which was most helpful. Also, we liked the fact that they had their own designer who came and worked with us at our home to try and come up with a design that met our vision and using their extensive experience doing this kind of work they also pointed out some improvements that could be made and some things to avoid to produce a pleasing outcome. The design offered was subject to our final approval and we were free to make adjustments. During construction which was done by dedicated crews for each stage of the work we found all the workers eager to make sure that the work was carefully done and they paid attention to all the small details that make a better looking finished project and they patiently explained the work they were doing and listened to any concerns we had. As a matter of fact when the forms for the concrete were being constructed we became aware that although the design on paper looked okay when the work started there was a minor area that we thought should be changed. The Construction Manager came to the house and immediately made a minor change that satisfied our concerns but did not materially affect the overall design. As far a pricing goes - we had a contractor that said they would beat anybody's price by 10% but that didn't sound reasonable to us as to how this could be done without taking shortcuts or not spending the time necessary to attend to all the little details, that not done carefully, can otherwise can ruin the final appearance. They say you only get what you pay for and while this is not always true we believe that we got our moneys worth on this job by dealing with the Professionals at Patterned Concrete. We would highly recommend and also commend Patterned Concrete and all their talented and hard working employees for their efforts to produce high quality work.
