M Scott Home Improvements

I was completing a renovation on a 100+ yr old semi-detached home. I was in need of a concrete contractor for bench footing to add 16" to the height of my basement ceiling. Seeing M Scott company is a 4 time winner of HomeStars Best-of awards, I opted to work with Mike and his team. The project cost was pricier but service delivery was excellent and definitely worth every dollar. Mike and his team stands out for 3 reasons:

1) Communicates and schedules effectively with general-contractor and myself, the owner. Whenever there were any delays (caused by inspections or general contractor), Mike was consistent in follow-up to check on progress and remained flexible in scheduling. He also kept me in-the-know throughout the process, which is not a common practice in this industry.

2) Expertly navigated requirements of City's building permit inspector and my structural engineer. We had a particularly picky inspector, so the Mike's ability to work with the engineer to address concerns in a timely fashion kept delays to a minimal.

3) Demonstrates sense of urgency and "do whatever it takes mentality". eg. For a plumbing inspection, already running late, the master plumber indicated he forgot to bring a ball for the drain Ball Test. After we all frantically and unsuccessful called nearby plumbing supplies stores for availability, Mike jumped into his truck and purchased a cue ball from a nearby billiards hall. Thinking on his feet and willing to roll up his sleeve - excellent.

Save yourself some headaches and go with Mike's team.

I am very happy with the work M Scott Home Improvements did to waterproof my foundation wall on one side. He sent his team in on time and finished in a short time and so far - we need a heavy rainfall or a snow melt to test it out - I am happy with the experience and the condition of the site when they left. The team leader Darren was very responsive and Mike was there daily to check the site. The whole project was completed professionally and the experience was worry free which allowed me to tend to a seriously ill spouse as well as manage my business. I would recommend Mike's company highly

We're a family owned Toronto based design firm and we needed help with our investment property to pour our basement slab with a polished finish and in-floor heating. We were referred to Mike as he was well reviewed and experienced in this field. Mike and his team were an absolute pleasure to deal with professionally from start to finish and we recommend using his company. We're more than happy with the results and will happily refer him to our clients in the future.

Mike and his team waterproofed a section of my home's foundation, which required removing a section of deck and digging, partly, in a very tight space between the adjacent house and my own. His quote was transparent and straightforward, and although he came in higher than the competition my partner and I are very satisfied with our choice. He and his small crew were quick, tidy, and very professional. The deck was removed very cleanly; the dig and waterproofing happened without a hitch; and they were careful and considerate of the space we share with our neighbours. They left the work area spotless, as well as the front yard, where the loose soil was stored during the job. Mike was also very communicative and responsive to my questions, both before the job was awarded and during the work period. All in all a great experience with this company -- thanks again, guys.

Mike from M Scott Home Improvements helped me with a concrete foundation for a hot tub installation. Mike was quick to return my call inquiring into his services and was accessible throughout the process. He always made time for my calls and answered all my questions. He was professional and honoured his commitment from a time and budget standpoint. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to use him in the future, and would certainly recommend him to others.

From first visit to all done within a week. Mike & his team were on time, reliable, hardworking, & polite. Good-looking work; and they left things neat & tidy. Top Marks!

Mike was fast. This was a small job and we'd been having trouble getting a contractor in Toronto who would quote us a reasonable price or even just come to take a look. Mike did both - and the work was done inside of a few days. He was great to deal with. The crew he sent was also good - polite, efficient, good listeners. We're happy.

Mike did a good job. The lane way looks great. I will definitely be using Mike's services again for future projects.
I would recommend him to others in the future.
Thanks again

M. Scott did a superb job replacing and paving the 60' narrow walkway between my house and my neighbour's house, improving drainage and beautifying our property.

This was a job that several other concrete contractors actually declined to bid on because it was too small! M Scott Home Improvements was the first to call me back, and followed through on their promises.

High quality work. On time. On budget. No mess. Happy customers. Would repeat.

I initially contacted Mike about replacing our garage floor. The job expanded to include replacing some shattered bricks and tuck pointing. Mike, Darrell and crew were extremely pleasant to work with. We're very satisfied with the job and would definitely contact Mike again if we need anymore work done.
