We wanted to add a stone patio area in our backyard off our deck so we could entertain more family this summer. In the quoting process we encountered the usual cast of characters: the companies that don't answer their phone or return calls, companies with low quotes and no references or other way of judging trustworthiness, companies with extravagant quotes, etc.
Liam of good looking homes answered his phone when I called, made arrangements to come see the site expeditiously, and provided us with a reasonably priced and detailed quote. Further GLH's had an established reputation and through sites like Home Stars we were able to determine how satisfied their customers are. It was largely based on good reviews here that we decided to hire them, and we are glad we did.
After hiring GLH's they started the job quickly, showed up on time, did the work properly and cleaned up after. With this type of project, issues do come up once you excavate, and we did encounter some issues with levelling the patio. Liam and his crew came up with a cost effective solution that kept us on budget and turned out a great looking patio. We have received several compliments on it already from neighbours.
After putting in the patio, based on the changes we had made, we needed to re-sod the backyard. Liam helped us find someone to do it, and as an added bonus, negotiated a great price on our behalf.
We are very happy with the results of our project and the service we received and would have no hesitation hiring GLH's again.

Thanks so much for this in-depth review Jason. I am glad that you had positive experience both with us and using Homestars. It is unfortunate that a lot of companies don't promptly respond to emails and phone calls. Even though some unexpected leveling issues arose we were happy to work them out with you. The back yard looks even better after the sod work from Curbz Gardening. Thanks again for the great feedback, we appreciate all your comments.
