I would not hire Don Thurston and DRT Enterprises again. I had 3 concrete steps done for my house, Don Thurston was rude, hanging the phone up on me when I said the work had some mistakes and 2 of the steps cracked 2 days after they took the forms off. Don,s partner came and repaired the 2 steps and it did not look good but I paid him the balance anyway . The third step now has cracks in it about 3 weeks later and I have phoned Don,s partner, Gord Holmes a number of times to get it repaired but as of today 2 weeks later it is not done. I will not deal with Don Thurston any more due to the rudeness displayed and if the steps are repaired to my satisfaction by Gord I will note that on this web sight. As of right now I paid them the full amount and am left with cracks and inferior product.

I recommend not to waste your time with this guy. Provided me with a very affordable quote and assured me he had lots of experience. In the middle of project he asked for more money said he miscalculated on the quote.
Very disappointed with end result. Very low quality. A beginner would have done much better job.
This customer was a pain from the beginning, we formed, prepared the project. When we would leave at night he would change the formwork. Increase the size ask for discounts. When finished he had plenty of time to review the finished project then payed us in full saying how happy he was. Two weeks later he says there was a difference in the square footage amount and asked for $800.00 back on a $4000.00 job that had $2000.00 in material. Unfortunately as contractors we have to sometimes defend ourselves against people like this. Below are pics of this customers finished product, I do believe that it shows quality work.

DRT Enterprises LTD. was an fantastic crew to work on my fantastic new stamped concrete patio. I couldn't believe that every day they showed up on time and left no mess for me to clean up. They were extremely polite and thoughtful of us and our neighbors during this project. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire again it is nice to find out that there are still good contractors left in this area. You will not regret hiring them!

Don Thurston, owner of DRT Enterprises, went far above & beyond to ensure we were 100% satisfied. Very professional. We can't tell enough people how happy we are with the results of his amazing expertise!! DRT installed over 4600 square feet of stone on the exterior of our new house, which truly is the main focal point of our house. Don also designed & installed our front concrete steps & poured our concrete for our in-floor heat. The fact that DRT owns there own heavy equipment was a real plus in saving time & money. Also, his team was very friendly & professional at all times. We look forward to hiring DRT again this year to install our driveway & stamped rear patio.
I would highly recommend hiring Don Thurston of DRT Enteprises, to anyone with any type of concrete, stone, concrete floor or brickwork. You won't be disappointed!
