The picture shows what Markstone considers to be a completed project. The person applying the Jewel Stoning (the dark gray material meant for the vertical portion of the steps) over-applied the material and ended up with an unsightly line of this material plastered onto the horizontal portion of the step including the landing portion. Then to make matters worse they let the same person try to fix this problem (and I Kid you not) by taking a hammer and chisel and hacking away at the horizontal part of the steps and landing with the (you guessed it) expected result. At this point Markstone then wanted to solve this problem by applying the Jewel Stoning to the entire horizon portion of the step. I disagreed with this solution and asked for a partial refund last December so I could go get a competent company to help me and haven’t heard from them since…..
My biggest mistake after hiring this company was to pay them the final payment after Daniel gave me his word he would fix the problems … then buddy took his hammer and chisel out – I have learned.
This is in addition to excessive pooling of water when it rains and the fact that in some areas the slope is actually towards the house (3rd party verified)
Now, when people ask me, “What happened to your walkway?” I tell them I got Markstoned.
It is a highly unprofessional company. Do not trust - absolutely not. He will ask for advance money and make a trap for you. He will try to use very substandard materials for construction and will do a very poor job but he will talk as if a very professional guy. He will try to extract money at various stages of project. Simple - do not trust this company or any representative of this company or never give any advance money to him too.
The area walking to my backyard is not level and severe pooling occurs when it rains. See photo. They say we have two years warranty but they never return our call. Just stay away from this company.
Hi Jeff,
You need to write us an email including all the information, contract#, and images. We do reply to all of our customers and do stand by our warranty. That being said, we do all of our warranty work in the fall.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank You
Mark
I was blown away by the workmanship and professionalism of Markstone. I had a walkway and driveway installed this past summer. I was impressed by the crew(s) that completed the installation, they were conscientious of my property and very efficient. I received everything that I was promised...proper base, pattern/design and colour. I would highly recommend Markstone to my friends and family.
My Concrete Curbs started to crack less than a year after being done. I tried contacting owner Mark Zammit many times never returned my phone call. I finally was able to speak to him and he promised to come by when I was on vacation the past two weeks. When one week passed I called him and his response was "Oh that is this week?" Mark sent someone by to do the work and while it looked good minutes after they fixed it the crack. The crack has come back three days later. Also the curbs are now discoloured and look even worse than before, and attempts thus far to get hold of Mark Zammit have not been successful. I do not recommend MARKSTONE LANDSCAPING at all.
