Front Yard Renovation
We happily signed on with ME Contracting as they could look after every aspect of our front yard renovation. Daryl provided us with a detailed drawing of the finished product and was a pleasure to work with. Sal and Kosta proved to be valuable assets to this company as well the men who worked alongside them. There were definitely a few challenges along the way but they were always dealt with immediately and to our great satisfaction. They also replaced without question our front yard lights even though they were not part of our contract. We have received many compliments from neighbours and friends. I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone looking to renovate any part of their home.

Complete Backyard Landscaping
Project: coping around pool, perimeter wood fence, PVC deck with steel support, glass railings, basic lighting. Timeline: started a week late. Moved quickly and concluded before winter. Comment: We absolutely loved working with Daryl, Eitan and the team. Everyone was extremely responsive, helpful and resourceful. They played nicely with pool company (separate) and our home builder. Handled neighbors well. There was never a problem that they couldn't solve. The project was concluded on budget. Any items that changed the cost were directly communicated before a decision was made.
Answer from pro:
This is a wonderful review and you topped it off with a "10"! We're thrilled you were so pleased with Daryl, Eitan and the quality of our crews' workmanship. They are a talented group. We hope you'll pass our name on to friends and family. Happy New Year from M.E. Contracting

Back deck and flagstone patio with retaining wall and steps, new front steps
Like others I selected M.E. Contracting based on their very positive reviews. I was not disappointed! Eitan, Brenda, Tomer and the rest of the team were very professional and did the work on budget and on time. This company does quality work that is well worth the cost. The job included removal of an old deck and replacement of it with a new cedar deck and flagstone patio with a retaining wall and steps down to a garden. In addition, our aging front steps were replaced with a new cedar porch and steps. All of the workers were very respectful and tidy and even our neighbors noted how careful they were. The only reason that I could not give 10 out of 10 is that the landscape architect hired by M.E. Contracting to draw up the plans for the job basically did not do what he said he would do (submit plans for a parking pad permit to the city). He later tried to claim that this was never part of the plan. As a result, this part of the work has been delayed to 2016. I would recommend that M.E. Contracting consider contracting alternative landscape architects in the future.

Hi Stephen, We are thrilled that you were so happy with the work Tomer did at your home. We think Tomer and his team are amazing. We also thank you for your additional comments as they are taken very seriously. We need to know where to improve in order to grow and keep our good reputation. Have a great New Years - Keren, Eitan, Brenda and Tomer & his crew.

Flagstone Front Stoop and Stair Refinishing, Back Stone Step Install, Wrought Iron Gate, Railing and Aluminum Railing Fabrication and Install
I found ME Contracting via HomeStars and selected them based on the positive HomeStars reviews as well as a price comparison with multiple other vendors. I was undertaking a complete exterior overhaul of my home, so was looking for a company to handle all of the finishing touches for the project aside from the house itself. ME Contracting was appealing because they were a one-stop-shop that would coordinate multiple sub-projects: the install of the front step flagstone refinishing, back step install, the side gate install and the front and back railing installs. The fact that ME also coordinated the selection of materials and managed the delivery of materials and clean-up after each sub-project was also fantastic. All of the sub-trades that participated in the project were very pleasant and did excellent work. Daryl, my project manager, was great to work with. He was very responsive, professional and worked with me to manage a complicated timeline given that the ME tasks needed to take place at different points during the broader project timeline. Even when the project ran into some minor challenges, Daryl was receptive to my feedback and handled the situation efficiently and professionally. I would recommend ME Contracting to family and friends without reservation. Thank you to Daryl, Sal, Joe, and Brenda for all of your help during my project.

Wow!! Thank you Heather. We are so glad you're thrilled with the new renovations. You were a pleasure to work with as well. Your review is fantastic and our team loves seeing their names in print. The 10 is icing on the cake. Share our name with friends and family. Best wishes, The whole ME team

Suburban backyard renovation
We hired M.E. Contracting this past summer to do some work in our backyard based on positive reviews here on Homestars. They removed all sod, built a retaining wall to level the back of our small suburban yard, addressed drainage issues, created a paving stone seating area and bbq area, make flagstone pathways and got all our garden beds plant ready. We have been extremely happy with both the process of working with them and the results of the project. All M.E. staff we dealt with from start to finish were kind, professional and expert at their jobs. Brenda, who works in the front office, was always helpful and friendly and was very efficient at communicating timelines and answering questions. She replied to emails quickly, often within the hour. Eitan, the owner, met with us and took into consideration our needs and made helpful suggestions. Tomer was the contractor assigned to our project. He and his team were wonderful and we would work with them again in a heartbeat. They always communicated when they would be arriving and came to work on the project every day until it was done. They were courteous and professional in their work and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their work was excellent and they took the time to address concerns or preferences we communicated along the way, always making sure we were happy. We would recommend M.E. Contracting to anyone looking for high quality work done by courteous, fair and skilled professionals and we would hire them again for future work on our property.

It so great to hear from you Brian! Many, many thanks for your beautiful message on HomeStars. Not only do your words speak volumes, but the 3 photos you attached are also worth 1000 words each. We can't tell you how much it means to hear such wonderful complements about our team. Tomer, and his crew, did an amazing job on your backyard project. We know you'll have many years of enjoyment. We hope to hear from you again for your next project. It was our pleasure working with you. Thanks again, Eitan, Keren, Tomer, Brenda & the M.E. Contracting Family.

Amazing Work Professional company
We hired ME this past summer (2015) to completely renovate our backyard, including a swim spa installation, outdoor kitchen, deck, stone patio and artificial turf. At every point, ME was responsive, professional and helpful. They were also very reasonably priced compared to other quotes we received. Daryl, our contractor, always got back to us quickly and was on top of things. The crews who came were talented and hardworking and came every day until the work was done. Special shout out re Sal, who did our stone and turf work and is absolutely amazing--we had an issue on a Saturday morning at one point and by Saturday afternoon he had come by and fixed it. I would definitely recommend ME to anyone considering a renovation. We actually plan on using them again soon for an indoor project and then next year for landscaping our front.

Landscaping - interlock
Contacted ME Contracting based on the great reviews from Homestars and Houzz. Was not disappointed. The end result was awesome! They were a bit more expensive than some other companies I looked at, but you do get what you pay for. Daryl worked with our budget and came up with a very nice design to landscape our front steps, side walkway and backyard patio. Sal did an excellent job on the landscaping work. He listened to our ideas and gave some great ideas as well. The interlock looked awesome when he was done! We've also gotten a ton of complements from the neighbors. Sal is 100% dedicated to his work and it really shows in the quality of his workmanship. The landscaping job took about two weeks to complete. Sal was also very reachable and had no problems coming back a few times to fix up a some minor issues. The only negative I would say is that the job started a little later than we would have liked. However, I believe this was because of a longer than expected job they were currently doing. The install of our front iron gate also took a bit longer than expected (3 weeks after landscaping was complete). However, these are minor issues. Overall, ME Contracting did an outstanding job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
Answer from pro:
We wanted personally to let you know how gratifying it was to read your wonderful review. We are so thrilled that you are pleased with your landscaping and the quality of our work. We agree with everything you've said about Sal. We know he's the best! We hope to hear from you again soon and appreciate you sharing your thought on HomeStars. Best regards, Keren, Eitan, Daryl, Brenda and Sal

Black Iron Fence
Our home is located on a corner lot and was in desperate need of a new fence. While searching through the internet, I came across a company by the name of M.E. Contracting. I read some of their reviews and thought to myself that it seemed too good to be true. I ended up calling M.E. Contracting and from the first initial contact with a lady by the name of Brenda through to the end of the work done on our black iron fence, I can truly say without a doubt that M.E. Contracting is the very best. Thank-you Eitan, Keren, and Brenda. Thank-you especially to Joe and his assistant Mark for the outstanding work that was done. Thank-you to Sal for the stone work that was done around the fence. They have transformed the look of our house and so many people have complimented the work that was done. The Home stars scale is from 1-10, I wish I could go higher than a 10+++++. In the future should we have any other work done, we will definitely have no hesitation in choosing M.E. Contracting. Thank-you to everyone. Most sincerely, Rose.
Answer from pro:
We were overwhelmed to receive your fabulous review, and are especially pleased to read your kind words about our company. It made us happy to know you felt so comfortable in the hands of Joe, Mark and Sal. We too enjoyed working with you and are are extremely pleased you are enjoying your new iron fence. Best wishes from Brenda, Keren, Eitan, Joe, Mark and Sal

Backyard Deck
Hired ME Contracting to remove my old deck that came with the house and build a new larger better deck in its place. Process was smooth and easy, they had good ideas when we were first discussing plans and developing the estimate. I ended up changing my original plan to have a Cedar deck built in favour of a PVC deck with is very low maintenance. The work was done very professionally and looks amazing. I would happily recommend ME Contracting to friends and family in the future.
Answer from pro:

Front porch, walkway & front yard
From the moment we called to get a quote, everyone from this company was courteous, professional and timely. Daryl, provided very professional service and clear communication through email, over the phone, and in person. He was able to give us realistic time lines and met them exactly when he said! Sal, the foreman on the job, really takes pride in what he does because it showed in his work! He is skilled, professional and has a great sense of humour, which made us feel at ease. He was able to get the work completed before schedule! We could not believe his hard work and dedication to our job. Between them understanding what we wanted and Sal's suggestions, we were blown away with the results! Just blown away. He definitely went above and beyond! With what we have experienced, you can tell this company takes pride in any job that they come across, small or large. You can't imagine how it felt to come home to a beautifully landscaped yard, beautiful lit staircase and porch. More than amazing! Thank you!
