In the fall of 2010, we embarked on a journey to renovate our condo. We live in a 40-year-old high…read morerise, and the last time a reno had been done was when the previous owners moved in some 35 years prior (well, they had done some work themselves, but nothing professional, or even to code). We ended up going with Diamond Contracting, whom we found through the BBB (A+ rating with no complaints in the past five years - not just no resolved complaints, no complaints. Period.). Though Diamond did not give us the lowest bid, we chose to go with them because we were impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism of owner Sheldon Ens. His inspection prior to giving us the estimate was, by far, the most thorough. He checked places and pointed out things that others had missed. And it did not feel as if he were trying to get more money from us. The things he pointed out were necessary. He could not give us an estimate without talking with his sub-contractors, especially the electrician. It was the electrician who made us aware of the limitations of our old building and the changes in code. As I said, Diamond did not give us the lowest bid, nor did they give us the highest bid. They were right in the middle. More importantly, the estimate was accurate! We were only a tiny bit over budget, and everything we spent over the estimate was because of things we had added since our original request. How many contractors come in right on budget? Sheldon was understanding of our desire to save money. He didn't try to talk us into unnecessary upgrades, and even affirmed our decision to avoid certain upgrades, saying that they were not appropriate to the age of the building and we could easily "price ourselves out of the market" by getting too fancy. He did not object to installing IKEA cabinets, and he supported our doing some of the work (i.e. painting) ourselves. Brian, our project supervisor, was fantastic, regularly keeping us updated and answering what were likely silly questions with patience. And his work is amazing and beautiful. He added finishing touches that I wouldn't have thought of but that add so much to the end result. I enjoyed working with the various subcontractors. All but one were responsive and reliable. Finally, our building manager said that he has never worked with a crew as professional as the crew we brought in and that our guys left the common areas in better shape than when they first went through. He asked for several of Sheldon's cards, and I know he has recommended Diamond to other owners in our building. He said it was a joy to work with them. Overall, I highly recommend Sheldon and Diamond Contracting. If you are considering a home renovations, give them a call.

I called Jules and one other roofing company because heavy rains this spring caused leakage into my…read morehouse. He came when he said he was coming and gave me a fair quote to fix it. Also to replace missing tiles blown off the roof and to check over all the roof to make sure there were no more issues. He gave me a reasonable price, broken down for different steps, and fixed the leak immediately. I was very happy with his service, and knowlege. The nice thing about this company is that they will take on a small job of fixing- many companies won't even call you back. When he came back a few months later, (after I'd saved up some money for the rest of the job) he picked up a 14 ft 2x6 for me and repaired a spot in the side of the garage roof, for a nominal cost. If you're in the Ottewell or surrounding neighborhoods with a small roof issue, I wouldn't call anyone else. Jules 1780-803-1616.

The crew was friendly, respectful, and worked incredibly hard to get everything done on time. They took the time to explain what was being done each day, kept the area tidy, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the process. The roof looks amazing -- you can really see the quality in their work. It's such a relief knowing our home is well protected. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done!

After we chose them it only took about one and a half weeks for them to set up the day to do the job which in this busy time of year and product availability was pretty good. The crew which showed up on time and got right to work were friendly and professional they cleaned up the whole job site as they went and even double checked twice to make sure it was all clean. We even had a concern after the roof replacement was done and they came back the next day to ensure everything was to our liking. I would definitely recommend Top to Bottom Construction to anyone needing a roof replacement as everyone there is friendly and professional and take pride in their final product. Thanks

It was a simple garage pad and sidewalk however Derek concrete was absolutely the worst choice. The garage pad is noncompliant with the city of Edmonton even though they were given proper permit locations. The sidewalks are crooked and uneven with improper expansion joints. The driveway is too steep causing my car to bottom out each time I drive in and out of my garage. water is pooling in the garage pad. The water is coming in from the man door right underneath the frame into the garage obviously they've sloped the concrete into the garage not away from it . The crew also left my outside tap running causing a small flood in my basement .I have contacted Derrick concrete general manager and they are unwilling to fix any of their problems. The water in my garage is approximately 1 inch deep- which will be a drywall mold nightmare! The broom finish that they have put on the sidewalk is horrendous the trolling is bulging and not even done in some areas. I spoke with the city of Edmonton for by law and they agree that the garage pad is terrible. I have also spoken with the Better Business Bureau. Please save yourself money and headache and do not use Derek concrete for any of your projects.

Fantastic service. The guys were efficient courteous and did a great job. I would recommend Save on…read moreto anyone in need of a roof.
