Emily in Toronto

I couldn't be more satisfied with Craig and his crew. The consultation was clear and useful, the work was excellent, the clean-up was super, and the price extremely reasonable. On a personal level, Craig and his employees were courteous, honest, and hard-working. We had a very large, long limb of a neighbour's tree hanging vertically over our back yard. Over the past year, we've watched more and more of its branches stripped of bark, and old dead bits of wood falling off during storms. Some branches were actually hanging quite precariously and we decided enough was enough. We contacted Craig and he suggested removing the limb altogether. After the work was complete, he stuck to the quote he'd provided us, even though more work was required than he'd anticipated. I will be highly recommending his services to friends and relatives.

I contacted Dilullo Restoration last week about repairing a front porch pillar. The concrete pad on top (holding up the porch roof) was crumbling and the bricks below required tuck pointing. I had already contacted two other masons, both of whom tried to make a much more extensive/ expensive "Project" of this than was necessary. John came over to our house promptly, quoted a very reasonable amount (which turned out to be lower), spoke to me respectfully and honestly -- which, as a woman, is especially appreciated. The next day, he sent one of his workers, Clarence, to our place to repair the problem. Clarence's work was top-rate -- as well as recreating a strong cement pad, it was also attractively built. Plus, the surroundings were clean when he left. John also provided us with some great advice regarding caulking various parts of our porch to keep it water-tight, and actually bought the appropriate caulking for us. He really went the extra mile -- and we are first-time Toronto homeowners, not owners of an upscale property. John has since provided us with (again, an extremely reasonable) quote on tuck pointing the entire side of our semi, and we will be using his company for this without hesitation. I am glad to have used Dilullo Restoration, a reliable, skilled masonry company, which I will strongly recommend to everyone.
