Excellent Workmanship

I found AHS on HomeStars and was very pleased with the quick response from Mathew in Sales. He came to the house and promptly provided a quote on the stairs and walkway in the front of the house. He has always been pleasant, professional and responsive.

The estimate was near the $30k minimum to include a designer, so we beefed it up a little bit and worked with Shilin to create a beautiful design. She has been wonderful to work with, and very willing to work to adjust the design as needed.

We hit a major snag when our project that was supposed to commence within about a month from signing the contract in August, didn't happen. We were unable to get proper stone samples and ended up spending days visiting multiple suppliers to try to find something that might work. For anyone looking to hire AHS, I would strongly recommend that you include at least 2 site visits by the designer: the first one to get measurements to begin the mock up and a second to finalize stone samples and the design on site.

As the months went by without commencing the project, frustrations grew. I have given AHS a 4 star rating as the one thing that really needs more focus is communication. I was very disappointed with the response to my escalation to try to finalize the stones and get a start date, but things finally happened and the crew showed up in November.

The crew was outstanding. They were the hardest working men I have ever seen. They worked through horrible weather, put in long days and made sure that everything was done to perfection. They were professional, friendly and always came to ask for input when decisions needed to be made.

When the paving crew came for the driveway, it was almost like watching a ballet performance. Everyone knew exactly what to do, and when and it all came together quickly.

Our project manager was Rinat. He walked into a heated situation but handled everything professionally. We had a number of changes that needed to be made along the way, and even received the wrong stones a couple of times, but these challenges were handled with ease, and corrections made so quickly you almost wondered if the error even happened. Rinat was always responsive and friendly and a pleasure to work with.

We had a 3 month wait for the railings to finish the project, but that was a non-issue for us. When the guys arrived, the railings were installed quickly and look amazing. The entire project in the front is stunning. The workmanship is outstanding with meticulous attention to detail.

Shortly after the front was done, we were so impressed with the workmanship that we decided to put in a stone patio in the back with a fire pit and walkway, on the condition that we got the same crew.

I was surprised to get the offer, but Rinat made the crew (some of the same guys) available almost immediately and that project was completed within a few days. The crew, again, faced some awful weather but they were undaunted. The workmanship was as precise as before and the end result is beautiful.

During the project, decisions needed to be made with respect to existing fences as they were in need of repair. Almost like magic, Rinat had a crew on site immediately and they were able to replace a wooden fence and gate, and later did other repairs on another wood fence and replaced a section of chain link. The workmanship on the wood was to the same standard of excellence as the stone. The dual wooden gates are beautiful and extremely well built. This project, as with the front, I was consulted with every decision that had to be made and things were promptly executed.

As reality tends to be different from planned expectation, I would suggest that an additional 10-20% of the quoted value be budgeted as sometimes changes are needed, or embellishment opportunities are taken once the work starts.

Overall, I would recommend AHS. We are looking at having a third landscaping project done, and have short listed AHS to do the work.

Outdoor upgrade front and back

I was glad to have the services of Action Home Services after reading the mostly positive reviews. The workers were reliable. They redesigned the steps to my basement apartment in a way that protected it from flooding mishaps and ensured they were up to code. The front walkway was dug up and rebuilt. At the back, where there was an overgrowth of weeds on my mutual driveway due to the neighbour's concrete pad draining water on to my section, I now have a gravel driveway. The split in the concrete was "fixed" to avoid weeds. Work was guaranteed. However I was not completely pleased with the gravel work. The area I was concerned with does have ponding. Weeds came back in the split in the concrete that was supposed to have been fixed. On the upside I retained the last payments due as a precaution against being left holding the bag. I can now use that money to fix the deficiencies that were not addressed. Joe was polite and pleasant in his communication as were the workers. I did complain about concrete debris left on the road in front of my house. It was attended to after my complaint.

Excellent company with great services

I had a positive experience in Action Home Services!
Shilin is my designer, and she has high-quality, professional and patient service. Also, she provided many creative layout designs for my backyard that went beyond my experience.

Initial Landscape Design Consultation

I had an initial free consultation call with Kin of AHS for potentially hiring landscape design service. With only few prior questions and my address in hand, Kin set up up a zoom call. He came in prepared having looked the property via Google etc and with possible ideas aligned with my needs. It was a very productive call. Kin is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and tech savvy and offered me valuable guidance and suggestions even though it was a free call. He provided value right from the get-go. I will be considering his services seriously while I compare quotes

Backyard renovation

Action Home Services, led by Enrique and his courteous team, exceeded my expectations with the transformation of my backyard. Their attention to details, constant updates and efficient work resulted in a beautiful space. The project completed in just 2 weeks, was so discreet that some neighbours didnt even notice.
Highly recommended, and Im already planning to have them tackle my driveway next.

Front Yard Upgrade

AHS recently finished my front yard upgrade. Theyve completed porch renovation, new drivable walkway, new railings and asphalt driveway. Everybody who i dealt with( Dmytro, Mykola, Danielle, and crew) were extremely polite and professional. My front yard looks absolutely amazing after renovation. Ive received a lot of compliments from my neighbors and already shared AHS contact with some of them. I would recommend action home services to anyone who wants stress-free and Professionally completed project.

Excellent, detailed and professional

Our freehold community hired AHS to renovate and revitalize the courtyard and front gate entrance. The project was complicated due to various levels/grading, sunken patios, garden beds, stairs, retaining walls, etc. and working with 14 individual residents. Our PM Rinat was incredible and the crew was so professional, quick and accommodating. The process and the outcome was beyond our expectations. Overall, I would highly recommend AHS and would use their services again!
