We searched for a contractor for our front yard renovation project by reading the reviews in Home Stars and were attracted by the award-winning Forever Stone Design Inc. We met another contractor previously who asked us what do we want to do and he will do it for us. Given we are laymen to renovation work, it is difficult to explain our ideas in technical terms. We are looking for a contractor that we can explain what we want in general terms and he/she can give us advices and alternatives to consider. Mimo is the one who did that for us. In the first meeting, we showed him some of the pictures of designs that we like. He was able to give us a general design of how he would go about doing it. He also suggested us to move the planting area a little bit further out so that the shrubs and flowers can get more sunlight and the original planting area was paved by interlocking bricks that were connected to the walkway. This turns out to be a brilliant idea. He is very good in picking materials and matching colour of the stones. In the meeting I asked for him to start in April but he had jobs booked up to May. When his client delayed the start of the project, Mimo immediately called me and gave me an option to begin the work in April. I am glad I did as the rainy days in May mean that we would not be able to start our work as scheduled. All along the project, he kept us informed of the progress and next steps. He anwered all of our questions to ease our minds. He took care of the little things like putting grass seeds on the soil to replant the grass. His staff were courteous and professional. In the end the job was completed in a week and half and my house looks like brand new. My neighbour said my house is the nicest on my street. We will have no hesitation to recommend Mimo to any of our friends. Thank you Mimo!
