M.E. Contracting

There are many positive reviews for ME Contacting on Homestars. That is why we chose to use this Company. I could write an ordinary review saying that our project was successfully completed & that we we were pleased with the service. That would be true, but there is much more to be said.

We own a ranch bungalow built in 1954. Part of the original construction involved the installation of a concrete pool in the backyard. That pool was surrounded by an old concrete deck and retaining walls consisting of railway ties. After 60 years, those ties were failing & needed to be replaced. And the pool deck was cracked & also in need of replacement.

We contacted ME Contracting & dealt with Tomir Amir. He determined that physical access to our backyard was limited. That meant that he would not be able to bring down machinery to remove the railway ties or to dig out other portions of the retaining walls that needed replacement. All of this would have to be done by pure and simple manual labour.

Let me tell you -clearly - that I doubt that there would have been another company that would have bothered with the enormous amount of manual work involved in this project. And yet, ME Contracting took it on.

I can tell you that I personally saw Tomer, and his 'wing man', John Baird, each physically removing huge railway ties from our backyard using crowbars. This was, not btw, in March when the ties were still pretty much frozen to the ground. Then they carted those enormous ties up to the front of the house by wheelbarrow for further disposal.

Tomer & John, and their crew, completely rebuilt our pool retaining wall with timbers. Not only that, they cut back some of the walls to give us more space around the pool deck. That, sadly for them, involved having to remove parts of an old concrete septic system tank.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't the happiest of projects for Tomer & John, but I must say that they carried on with very hard work & integrity notwithstanding. They did what they said they would do. And we were very impressed with that.

So, 10 out of 10, for sure. I'm going to put some photos on here so you will see what we started with & what we ended up with. The photos will speak volumes.

When they has finished that, we were so pleased that we asked them to construct a new limestone deck to surround our pooll.
