Belvedere has recently won the Best of 2010 in the Stucco category based on the ratings and reviews from homeowners that hired them HomeStars has recognized Belvedere as one of the companies that made this list.
Belvedere Home Improvements Limited was started by Eric Giordano from his Leaside home in the late 1960s. His goal was to establish a home repair, improvement and renovation company focused on customer satisfaction and built on repeat business.
Over the past 40 years, that is exactly what he has achieved. Today, Belvedere enjoys a solid reputation for quality work, competitive prices and attention to after-sales concerns. Original customers continue to call on Belvedere – and so do their children!
Eric and his partner Charles Mallia have both been involved with Belvedere for more than 40 years. And they have built a team around them whose members show the same loyalty – many of them have been with the company for more than 20 or 25 years!
The Belvedere certificate of guarantee pledges to provide all customers with a high quality job and long-term satisfaction. Belvedere isn’t resting on its accomplishments, but is looking forward to the next 40 years.

Warning: be ready for stormy weather.
The Belvedere team has put together a simple but informative 10-point inspection checklist for you. Grab a pen and notepad… and we’ll guide you through a complete home checkup.
1. Roof: Inspect to make certain all roofing components are secure, including shingles, flashing and fascia boards. Tree branches which overhang your home and which are at risk of coming down in the event of an ice storm should be removed in the fall.
2. Chimneys: Loose or missing brick can usually be seen from the ground or with the help of binoculars. Look for mortar missing from between the brickwork and crumbling brickwork.
3. Attic: Ensure you have adequate attic insulation and that all vents are functioning properly.
4. Eavestroughs and downspouts: Clean out the eaves troughs after the leaves come down and before the snow flies, or you may have water problems come the Spring. Inspect downspouts to ensure water is not collecting near the foundation of your home.
5. Windows: If your windows are old or original, you may want to consider replacing them with new, highly durable windows which require virtually no maintenance. If you are not planning to replace older windows, make sure to apply fresh caulking and good weather stripping.
6. Doors: Snug new weather stripping around all exterior doors is the quickest, cheapest way to keep chill winds out and reduce heating costs.
7. Tuckpointing: Upgrading the mortar between your home's bricks and concrete blocks helps keep the structure sound and prevents water intrusion.
8. Exterior Foundation: Should be checked for water points of entry such as cracked mortar joints, deterioration, loose caulking or cement around basement windows which would allow water to enter, lack of window wells and window wells which are not functioning properly.
9. Interior Foundation: Look for moisture stains which show up at the base of interior walls and can be identified by discoloration and flaking. Lift rugs where the floor meets the walls and look for dampness or mould and odour.
10. Landscaping: Make sure sidewalks, driveways and patios are sloping away from the foundation to divert water.

We needed fireplace installed, repainting in living/dining room, a basement window bricking up and other jobs. They came on time, very professional. Tidied up well. Very impressed with the service
He had to drywall full basement. It only took him a few days. Very good service. Fast to get on site after call. On time every day when he said he'd be there. Happy with finished work. I would hire him again.
Not only did Belvedere come in on time (even after such a long wet spring) and on budget, but the quality of the work was outstanding, especially the brickwork done on the walkway. Donald and his crew were a pleasure to deal with, professional and courteous. The site was kept neat during construction and was completely cleaned up afterwards and the job only took a week from start to finish. Donald was very helpful with our choice of materials and very patient with all our questions as this was our first major renovation since acquiring the house 9 years ago. Belvedere's quote for the project was clear and concise and very easy to follow. We will be using Belvedere for another project and would not hesitate in recommending them
The kitchen renovation was done in a timely and efficient manner with a minimum of inconvenience. The advice I was given on design was excellent. Any glitches that arose were addressed immediately. It is a small kitchen so I wondered what could be done with it and how it would look. It looks beautiful and I have had many compliments on it.
Belvedere is the only contractor I have used in the last 15 years. From jobs as small as a sky-light repair to a full renovation, including foundation, Belvedere has done them all and the results have always exceeded my expectations. Don, Charlie, Jay and the entire Belvedere team are a joy to work with. I found the work is always to a high standard and the worksite kept clean. Belvedere will continue to be my "go-to" guys for all my reno needs.
First thing to note - Don P. at Belvedere called us back promptly and when he said we would drop by at 6pm that night, he was there even a few minutes early. Estimate arrived on time as promised, work started on the date they said and finished before the agreed completion date. They cleaned up every day, kept us informed of progress and did everything they contracted to do (ever more frankly) on time and on budget. I would recommend Belvedere, and Don P in particular, to any friend or colleague. We were impressed from start to finish.
As can be seen from the description of the work, we had waited perhaps too long to undertake some important jobs around the house. The basement had leaked for some 30 years, and our aging friends badly needed a railing in front of the house when they came to visit. All of the work was done in a reasonable period of time. All the workers who came by treated us courteously and very helpfully. Best of all was the project manager, Don Panzine. He always did exactly what he promised to do. And when he couldn't make it to a meeting on time, he telephoned to say when he would be able to come. We have deal with home repair contractor before who suited themselves about when and even whether they would show up. It was a pure pleasure to work with a professional like Don.
We moved into a teeny-tiny bungalow....needed the joining of two small bedrooms into one and the finishing of a basement asap. We are now comfortably ensconced in our "condo in a house" . The project came in within budget, we are happy with the very competent workmanship - exceptionally pleased with outcome. The crew and foreman , Raul, were very approachable and good-natured. They arrived early and stayed late! They cleaned up daily. A pleasant experience for us, from start to finish!
Drawings were affordable & done very proffessionably. The contractor (Donald Pazine-Belvedere Home Improvements) covered each and every part of the job so there were no surprises as the job progressed. Work began and finished on time. The workers were courtious and clean. All materials used were of top quality. Marg now loves to spend more time in the new kitchen than before. Excellant job.
Donald and the folks at Belvedere made our first major renovation easy and pain free. Donald provided us with all of the information we needed to make the right decisions and he monitored all of the tradespeople and the quality of their work (including clean up!). Everything about the work completed was perfect and we're thrilled with the results
