Green Side Up Contracting

This is an updated of our previous review, aimed at emphasizing the exceptional professionalism and service quality provided by Jay and Zac. Their commitment to quality is truly commendable.

In 2020, we engaged Jay and Zac to transform our entire backyard, encompassing the construction of a fence, deck, and balcony. Given that our house features a walkout basement, we opted to waterproof the deck and balcony floors to ensure that we could enjoy the space even during rainy weather.

Although some water leakage occurred in a few sections of the balcony area, Jay and Zac promptly addressed the issue, despite more than a year having passed since the completion of the project. Their unwavering dedication to fulfilling and honoring their five-year warranty is remarkable.

It is indeed rare and remarkable to come across a contractor who consistently upholds their word and is deeply committed to delivering top-notch quality and customer satisfaction.

Without a doubt, Jay and his team are in a league of their own.

Jay and his team were able to give me ideas to transform my backyard. I was kept up to date during the entire process. The project was completed ahead of the scheduled start time. All crews were great to deal with. They kept the site clean and organized. I would definitely use this company again for my future projects.

Happy to say that we're completely satisfied with how our new fence and gates turned out with Green Side Up. Our experience with Jay started in February of 2023 by first using GSU's website and realizing that Jay puts his pricing front and center so everyone knows what to expect. And the added bonus of architectural designs and an immediate quote emailed to you left us impressed. I didn't come across any other company out there doing similar things as most will only give you rough numbers on a piece of paper in our experience. Jay and I spoke shortly afterwards and explained the work needing to be done on our large property. Removal of the old fence and installation of a brand new fence on each side of our property. He said no problem and was also one of the few that was willing to accommodate our backyard reno that would be going on around the same time that he was planning on starting ours (April). His sincerity, down to earth personality, long warranty, price, and the great number of positive reviews meant that myself and our neighbours agreed to sign up with him. Oh and another perk, no deposit or money until the work was completed. Nice.

Jay sent Daniel and Cory to do the initial part of the job and they were professional and efficient with the work they did. Great couple of guys and had no problems answering any questions I had and making a few minor adjustments along the way. Once we were ready for them to come back to close off our fence and gates, they arrived when they said they would and the work was done just like before. The fence came out looking great and really helps accentuate the rest of the backyard reno.

The work done was split between my two neighbours so the price shown is my portion and both have said that they were happy with how the work turned out as well. I will gladly recommend Jay and GSU for anyone looking for a new fence and I hope I can use them again for any other projects around our home. Thanks Jay!

Professionalism and friendliness from the first interaction until they closed the door.

I cant say enough good stuff about Green Side Up Contracting. Starting from Jay giving us the quote, then Daniel and Cory building us a beautiful fence and finally Brandon, Greg and Rob making our dream backyard come true (stone work, flower beds and all our beautiful trees and plants).

Few things I found amazing:
- I didnt paid anything until Jay confirmed they were done and I was happy with the work. (Booked them a year ago and never worried about the money).
- They stayed true to the quote and our budget. Never felt we were a bank machine to them. They tried to save us money where they could and if they couldnt they would inform us and asked us if we still want it.
- We had them in our backyard for a month and they answered all my questions with a smile on their faces. Never made me feel insecure to ask anything. And believe I have lots of questions haha.
- They were ahead of schedule (now we get to enjoy our backyard even longer).

Overall we would choose Green Side Up Contracting all over again.

Green Side Up Fencing, led by Jay, did an outstanding job removing my old fence and installing a new one. Their professionalism and expertise were remarkable. Jay's attention to detail ensured a flawless alignment of posts, panels, and gates, resulting in a beautiful and secure fence. I appreciated their use of high-quality materials and eco-friendly practices. Throughout the project, Jay was responsive and attentive, making the experience stress-free. I highly recommend Green Side Up Fencing for their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to quality workmanship. I am extremely satisfied with the results.

Jay, Daniel and the team installed a new fence in my backyard. Impeccable quality of work with high quality material. Fence posts were installed at the right depth to ensure sturdiness and long life. I also got a warrantee for 10 years on structural integrity. Amazing work by the team!

The GSU crew did a very clean, professional job. Looking down a 200 ft. fence line every post looks perfectly straight. No wonder they can provide such a great warranty, they do great work. Brilliant job.

I've been a repeat customer of Green Side Up for many years now, and they never disappoint. This spring, when my retaining wall fell down, they were able to quickly and professionally build a new one. It look beautiful and much more sturdy than our last one, with all the right drainage, and even some landscaping fabric to keep the weeds away. Thanks Jay and team, my wife and I are very happy with the end product!

Jay, Daniel and his team were great! They arrived on time and finished the job as expected. They also cleaned up afterwards and left everything tidy, which we really appreciated. Fence and hardware look steady and solid. The cost I posted is for my half of the total, since it was shared with my neighbour.

Greenside Up Contracting took down my deck and replaced it with a patio this spring. For the most part, the bulk of the job was completed a few weeks prior to the agreed upon date for completion. It was a pleasure dealing with Jay, Rob and their crew. They were friendly and efficient. They were also very accommodating about making small tweaks. If I had any questions or concerns Jay is excellent in quickly responding.often within minutes. I will definitely recommend them.
