Paradise Decks and Landscape Design - Hamilton, Ontario

Dianne M.

Thank you to Adrian and the crew of Paradise Decks for the work they did this summer building our raised deck and below-deck walkout area - we have nothing but rave reviews to share. Adrian was very patient and creative in providing unique design options – which stood apart from other companies we consulted. Adrian and his team were very patient to explain and help visualize the design plans and consulted with us during the project to ensure we would love the final outcome. We also found the vast array of information on Adrian’s website was extremely helpful in selecting design options and understanding the project (such as the info on helical piers). There was excellent coordination of each of the teams and timely delivery of supplies for each stage of the project. Each team (demolition; helical piers drill/insertion; stonework team for the walkout area and concrete stairs; and the construction team for the deck/stairs/privacy screen) all demonstrated adherence to quality standards and provided excellent workmanship. Friends (and even strangers walking in the park nearby) have complimented us on the beautiful deck and staircase. Adrian - thanks for answering all our many, many questions and emails. Adrian was also so right about the wider stairs – we’re so thankful he took the time to explain the benefits – they’re perfect! We love our backyard oasis! Thanks Paradise Decks for making it happen. We would highly recommend Paradise Decks to anyone! Dianne & Peter M.

We contacted Adrian after viewing one of his project videos on the internet. We had previously contacted some other outdoor project companies, but they tended to be quite limited in their scope. That is, one would do decks, but not stonework. Another would do landscaping, but not decks or stonework. Paradise Decks was the first company we talked to that was able to design an entire, cohesive backyard space - deck, patio stonework, outdoor kitchen construction, electrical, landscaping / gardening - you name it. And the key aspect for us was Design. Our project was Adrian's vision, and we could not be happier with every aspect of it. Everything from the layout of the deck, counters, stonework, patio, gardens - right down to the lighting - is essentially the first design that Adrian proposed to us. He has a tremendous vision and keen design eye!

The crew was prompt, tidy, and polite. The workmanship is impeccable. Adrian was always available to discuss aspects of the project as it proceeded - communication was excellent and on par with other superior contractors we have dealt with for other projects.

As stated above - we could not be happier with the final outcome. We feel like we've gained an entire new living space, and with the provision of heaters in the project, we get a surprising amount of use in the shoulder seasons. Now that the summer has come, we have dropped the retractable screens and have refuge from the bugs! We love spending time and entertaining in the space at all hours! I suppose the best conclusion to this review is that we would 100% engage Adrian and Paradise Decks again.

From the very beginning, starting with the design of our stone deck, landscaping and composite deck, we knew that Adrian and his company stood apart from others we interviewed and met. The design was stunning and so creative.

Our home was new (only 3 years old) and the grading was very extreme, but it offered us a great walk out basement. The challenge started with the steps that would be required from the side of the home, because of the steep grading. My wife and I also wanted everything completed by the end of August for a significant family event. Finally, we required a permit because of the design of the deck which was so unique.

The day finally came to start the work and we met Mark and his team, who were going to build the stone steps along the house, the stone deck on the ground level and the landscaping. He and his team were incredible, they cleaned up after themselves everyday, the work was impeccable and stunning.

We now move on to the construction of the composite deck with it's beautiful stairs, glass railings and the under roof deck ceiling that keeps the area dry. Again, the team was professional, the work detailed to the most finite points, and they were clean. When the work was finished we couldn't have been happier they not only met our expectations, but exceeded them.

The day of the wedding (our big event) came and everyone commented on how beautiful our backyard was and all we could do was smile and say thank you.

So to Adrian, Mark and your teams, Susan and I say "thank you" for making our home special. We will cherish and enjoy our backyard for years to come.

In October 2019, we had Adrian and his team at Paradise Decks do a complete upgrade of our hardscape and softscape in our front and back yard. We could not have been happier with the result. The crew came in and completed the entire job in 10 days and created an outdoor living space that was spectacular. I am an engineer by trade and am very picky on the workmanship. I can tell you that the quality of the work was superior. I have attached current pictures of our front and back yard that Paradise did for us 5 years ago. Even after 5 years of constant use, the hardscaping and softscaping is still like brand new. If anything, the softscaping has now filled in and even looks better. I would highly recommend Paradise Decks.

I can't say enough good things about Adrian and his crew. From design to construction to finishing, the entire experience was professional, customer oriented and high quality. Small things can make a big difference. Adrian responding to emails promptly and acting on any issues. Really nice courteous guys on the crew always leaving a clean work site at the end of the day. People showing up when they said they would. Most importantly the finished product is even better than I hoped for. Outstanding craftsmanship, aesthetics and details. I basically have a new room in my home and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Adrian and the entire crew. I would recommend Paradise decks without hesitation.

Thank you to Adrian and the whole crew at Paradise decks! We are so thrilled with our new front and backyard - the landscaping turned out incredibly, the front path, rear patio area, deck and landscaping are awesome. Very professional from start to finish - from initial meeting and planning, a high quality plan/ drawings, super easy to interact with and approachable, and attention to detail throughout. We couldn't be more happy - beautiful, clean, easy to maintain and our neighbors have all shared lots of complements!

As a homeowner, one of the hardest things to do is to find a contractor you can trust. Five years ago, my husband and I were looking to rebuild an aging deck. Narrowing down a reputable company that matched our preferences was frustrating. Most of the friends and neighbours we consulted were lukewarm about their contractors. But Paradise Decks lives up to the name. They transformed our backyard into a paradise.

Adrian Simunovic, the owner of Paradise Decks, is primarily a deck builder, but in the winter he renovates interiors. This past Christmas he updated our “80s” kitchen into a modern wonder. And what can I say about our new bathroom that will do it justice? It is a work of art. Now that both projects are finished we feel like we are “livin’ the dream.”

Adrian and his team have a strong work ethic. They are true artists and craftsmen. They are also a family business that includes sons Anthony and Ehren, who are experts in woodcraft. It was amazing to watch them breathe new life into our outdoor living space. And then like magic witness Adrian’s talented team reconstruct our kitchen and bathroom with wood, tile and marble. Adrian’s designs are creative and original. In all the years he has been building decks, I don’t believe any two backyard plans are alike. His team—like himself—are a rare breed. He puts the customer first. He does not hesitate to address any concerns, and if anyone makes a mistake, they fix it. When a project starts, you are the priority. Someone will be there—every day—no lengthy delays.

We are very pleased with Paradise Decks. Both our backyard and interior remodels went quickly and with finesse. Everyone who stepped foot on our property was professional and polite, and always with a smile. They are eminently skilled at their work. It’s no wonder Paradise Decks is in such high demand.

Adrian and his team at Paradise Decks are first class! They built a beautifully designed deck for me 15 years ago, for which I have received many compliments, and it has been a pleasure ever since. Recently a small section has shown some signs of decline. When I reached out to Adrian he responded quickly and sent a team member to address the problem. He fixed it and cleaned up any residue quickly and explained the process when I asked. I’m a very happy and highly recommend Paradise Decks! Thank you!
