Art Of Concrete

The job was completed quickly, Jon was personable however miscommunication regarding job measurements from the person measuring luckily I caught the issue before the cement arrived. The problem is workmanship , The worked looked like a beginner had done the work not a professional at a distance it looks OK but close up not good.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They were professional and courteous....and performed work within the budget...very impressed! Would recommend!

I would not recommend dealing with this company to anyone. Simply put, it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in dealing with any business in my life. My wife and I ordered a number of pieces of concrete furniture from Jon and provided him with a significant deposit (down payment) on the furniture in April of last year. These items were supposed to have been completed and delivered to us in approximately 4-6 weeks. After many deadlines for delivery of these items had passed, the furniture has still never been delivered to us. When we had initially tried to contact him about the delays, he became elusive, difficult to reach, and gave us a number of excuses as to why the items had been delayed. In September of this year, after giving Jon many extensions and opportunities to make things right and deliver the items that he had promised us, we were forced to let him know that we were no longer interested in them and let him know that we would like our deposit returned to us in full. Since then, he has failed to respond to all of our attempts to reach him by phone and through email, and has yet to provide us with the refund that we have asked for. Unfortunately, at this point we are not optimistic that he will provide us with our money back and can only conclude that he has intentionally misled us and has taken our deposit from us with no intention of returning it to us in good faith.

Very disappointed with this company. I called for an estimate and they said it would cost me $20.00, a fee that no other company charged me, I did have 4 companies come to my house for an estimate. I agreed to pay the $20.00.

The visit for the estimate was on a Saturday Jul 17th. I paid the $20.00. I was promised to have the estimate by the following Wednesday, Jul 21st by email. By Wednesday in the afternoon I have not yet received the estimate. I called and left a voicemail, no one called back. The next day, Thursday, I called again and left a voicemail, still no one called me back. I used their Web Site to leave an email. I did get a reply the next day on Friday, Jul 23rd saying I was going to get the estimate by Mon Jul 26th. On Mon, Jul 26th in the afternoon I sent a friendly email to remind them about the estimate, there was no reply. On Wed, Jul 28th I sent another email asking for the estimate. The reply I received was that they are not taking projects like mine.

They wasted my time and paid $20.00 for an estimate I did not receive.

Jon did a great job, the estimate and quote were provided in a timely manner. Every day we got an email explaining what work was done and what the next steps were. Highly recommend this company! We will be getting our back patio done next summer.

Still waiting after two years for some response to our patio issues. Uneven-puddles up every where, peeling , flaking, White film covering finish.

Jon offers great ideas and has several stamp patterns on hand. His sample blocks of actual stamped concrete makes it easy to see what you can expect.

His new slate pattern looks awesome and neighbours all stop and compliment this new stamp pattern. I believe he rents out his selection to other concrete Co as he has a considerable investment in pattern mats.

Our driveway had no corners cut! Lots of rebar / thicker than needed and cut expansive cracks that look natural. After 3 years it still looks great.

Originally I chose Jon because he seemed genuine and offered a warranty on this work.After 4 seasons this product is garbage ,and getting Jon to fix or even look at it has proven impossible.I am terribly disappointed in this Company ,and regret recommending them to my clients,friends and family.Anyone thinking of using them ,feel free to email me ,and I'll send photos of what they can expect to happen.

A little update after a year. Concrete looks great. Exposed Aggregate lost the luster as expected but no cracking and looked new after a coat of sealer. Great job. I get compliments left and right ..thank you art of concrete.

We had a great experience with service provided by Jon from The Art Of Concrete. From the quote to the end result communication and workmanship was very professional.

We had a large patio installed in our backyard this summer & we are happy to say it went very well. The end product is excellent & we have rec'd many positive comments. Jon & his crew are a great team.

I won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone & will ask them back again in the next year or so to do my driveway.

If you need concrete work done, you owe it to yourself to include Jon as one of your contacts for a quote. If you choose him you will be treated with respect & ,based on our patio, a fine end product.

We had an exposed aggregate driveway, stamped concrete patio, and a brushed concrete patio done by Jonathan Lavallee of Art of Concrete, July 2011. Everything turned out terrible. Exposed aggregate was inconsistent on driveway most looked more like coloured concrete. Walkway cracked after two days, slope from front steps to driveway not up to code it was too steep and a safety hazard. Sealant appeared streaky. Patio- too much slope, our barbeque rolls right down the patio and water still pools on it in some areas. He did not even excavate it. The super thick concrete patio was installed on top of gravel on top of grass and attached to our foundation with rebar. The shed pad is not proper dimensions and also uneven. Also not properly excavated installed on top of gravel on top of grass. Gravel under both shed pad and patio is coming out or undermining therefore will be exposed to frost damage. He was not willing to remove all work and refund us therefore we are going to small claims court. He also had two other jobs on our street in Kitchener and both of those had similar issues with the workmanship. He often worked alone and tried to do more than one job at a time. Engineer report by KSmart confirmed all of the above issues. VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP!!! SUBSTANDARD AND UNSAFE FOR USE!!!
