Elite Designed Concrete is a wonderful team because of the company’s leadership – Raffy and Marcelo. From the beginning of our project, through to the end, there was not one detail overlooked. When you speak with Raffy and/or Marcelo, they ALWAYS treat you as though you are their ONLY Client. And, considering that they juggle numerous projects and homeowners, that is no small task. Words cannot express how incredibly caring and professional they are……..right down to Raffy taking the initiative to email us a picture of our driveway (upon completion). How thoughtful is that? From beginning to end, despite our frustrations with everyone else on our project, we NEVER had any issues with Elite Designed Concrete – the caliber of their work and the level of service is nothing short of FLAWLESS!!! Honest + Respectful + Kind + Professional + Impeccable = Elite Designed Concrete.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review Mark and Rita. We appreciated the opportunity to build your project and we are very happy to know we were able to exceed your expectations. Marcelo and Raffy.

Raffy and Marcelo were amazing. From beginning to end they were there for us – from helping us with the design of the patio, answering our questions and even finishing off every last detail. Our disaster of a backyard has been transformed into an amazing modern patio (we went with the limestone finish that they offer) that we will be spending so much of our time in now. Only advice is book them early as they are extremely busy – just a testament to how good they are! Thank you Elite for a great job – we look forward to working with you again when we do the front of the house.

Thank you for your review Tammy and Peter and for waiting patiently for us to schedule your project. We are very glad to know that you are happy with your new patio and we would be thrilled to work with you again in the future. Marcelo and Raffy.

Raffy and his team have just completed our new driveway and front steps to our home. We could not be happier with their service, timeliness and end product. They stayed within the given quote and were always available with answers to any and all of our questions. I would gladly and have already recommended them to others.

Thank you for your review Margot. We appreciated the opportunity to build your project and thank you for your patience while we contended with the rain the build it. Marcelo and Raffy.

We searched for a while for a company to complete our patio in keeping with the design of our recently renovated home. Raffy and Marcello and their team were a perfect fit for us - practical, knowledgeable, timely and friendly. The Elite team was a pleasure to work with and they have been hired again to do additional work for us.

Thank you for your review Gary. We are happy to know you were pleased with our service and we look forward to building your next project. Marcelo and Raffy.

I found out about Elite Designed Concrete from my neighbour who hired them to build their project a couple of years ago. I called Raffy to visit my house and provide a quote and some design ideas. I immediately felt comfortable with Raffy and decided to hire Elite to build my project also. They were very busy so I had to wait a few months for them to start. Marcelo came before the work started to help design my project and provide more details. He also cooridnated the the different crews. Once the concrete work was completed and sealed, Raffy arranged to have the driveway paved with asphalt in between the new stamped concrete curbs. They even installed topsoil around the new concrete when they were done. I was impressed with how organized Elite was in making sure the work progressed well. My neighbours regularily tell me how wonderful the work looks and I am very happy with the quality and service also. I have already them recommended them to friends.

Thank you for your review Midori. We are happy to know that we met your expectations and we truly appreciate your referals. Marcelo and Raffy.

We chose Elite Designed Concrete to build a new driveway and courtyard area for one of our clients. We had seen their previous work and extensive list of references and were confident that they would be using the best materials and techniques on our project. They were very professional when addressing our clients. This courtesy reflected very well on us. We will definitely use Elite again should we require concrete work to be done on future projects.

Thank you for your review and for hiring us to build this project for your clients. Marcelo and Raffy.

Last summer when I decided I really needed a 28x16 concrete pad across the back of the house I did my usual routine; contact the top five contractors on Home Stars, advise them I was seeking quotes from another four contractors, meet with them, and then let them provide their quote. Only three of the five responded and Raffy was the first of the three. We scheduled an appointment for a week down the road. Elite Designed Concrete were tops on Home Stars rating last summer so I was glad to schedule the other two contractor before meeting with Raffy. I figured they might offer the best service, but at the highest cost due to their excellent reputation. Not only was Raffy professional, confident and courteous, but I was pleasantly surprised he offered the best price… actually 10% lower than the runner up contractor. Before work started, Marcelo came by to take exact measurements and plan out the logistics. Work began on the date scheduled. The crew showed up nice and early getting to work without delay. Every crew member was professional, respectful of our property and very friendly. I happened to be moving my heat pump that day (unrelated project) and two of the guys ran over to help as soon as they saw the HVAC tech and me moving it. The project actually finished a day early and looked great. I also received a courtesy call from Marcelo a few weeks later just to ensure I was happy with the result and no issues had come up. It’s been a few months now and the concrete pad has held up great and despite being a basic brush finish (my choice) it has received many compliments from friends and neighbours. My only regret is not having gone with Elite Designed Concrete earlier. I’m pretty faithful to my system of having the top five Home Stars contractors bid on all my projects but any future concrete work will just go straight to Elite Designed Concrete.

Thank you for your review Pete. We appreciate the trust you had in us to build your project. Marcelo and Raffy.

Elite Designed Concrete was referred by a close friend. I found them to be courteous, punctual and knowledgeable. Their workmanship was better than I expected and their price was competitive with other quotes I received. I would definitely refer them to others.

Thank you for your review Frank. We appreciated your patience while we contended with the rain to build your project and are happy to know we exceeded your expectations. Marcelo and Raffy.

It was time for us to have the front of our home renovated and redone. We contacted various contractors and found Elite Designed Concrete on Homestars. We called them and within a day Raffy called back to arrange for an appointment to visit our home to provide a quote. Elite's quote was not the lowest but my wife and felt the most comfortable with him so we scheduled our project in and they started after a few months. Marcelo visited next to confirm the details of the job and to gather more information. Their staff started early in the morning and worked long hours to get our project built. There were a lot of rain delays due to Hurricane Sandy but they managed to get right back on schedule once the rain finally stopped. Marcelo kept us always updated. The end result is amazing. We are very happy by how their work totally transformed the front of our house.

Thank you for your review Allan, We are happy to know that we were able to meet your expectations. Marcelo and Raffy.

We have used Elite Concrete in the past. This is the reason to call again. Our expereance with elite has been very good. They do what they say. They are quick, clean and very respectfull of the landscalping ,driveways etc. Rafi and his crew were great to work with. All we had was a hand shake and all work was completed in a short time. I would not hesitate to recomend them to any one looking for quality workmanship. They are not the cheapest. But in my opinion they are the best. Cheers Bert @ Cando Renovations.
