Paradisaic Building Group Inc. works hard to stand out as unique. As a family owned and operated company, they took as a starting point the idea that contracting should be understood as a relationship, rather than as a business interaction. To this end, Ben has worked hard to bring strong family values together with expert craftsmanship in an effort to address the needs and concerns of every client. These ideas have seen Paradisaic grow from a small deck and landscaping group, to one of Ontario’s premier interior renovation specialists. Once we have an idea of your needs, we will work with you to align the scope of work with your budget. Once budget meets scope of work, we will start the design with our award winning team. When design is aligned with your vision, we conduct discovery to ensure we can calculate an exact breakdown of what your renovation will cost. This gives you an opportunity to make any changes before committing to the project! We ensure your quote is accurately and very detailed - so you are confident you are getting exactly what you want. Then our highly skilled workmen craft each detail with our trademark workmanship backed by the best suppliers in the businesses for a lifetime of beauty and enjoyment for years to come. We pride ourselves on the exceptional quality of our work, attention to detail and innovative design. Call us today and let us show you the possibilities! Quality One of the cornerstones of our business. Ben is a passionate believer in using the best quality products available within your budget. Often quality can mean more costly as well, and we can help you understand the cost vs. benefit of upgrading. You can be assured that we will always review available materials with you and give you honest answers about the pros and cons of each. We want you to be happy with the result and that means infusing your project with quality products and outstanding workmanship! By-laws Understanding the by-laws governing any home improvement project is critical. It can be complicated and time consuming if you don’t know what you’re doing and is mandatory when undertaking any type of renovation or new build. At Paradisaic we are experts in by-law requirements in many regions and will take care of all necessary work permits to ensure you are fully protected. When we’re on site Whenever Paradisaic visits your home you can expect that it will be treated with respect. Our crews are neat and perform a full clean up at the end of the day. Our renovation crews try to make the process as non-intrusive as possible to your regular routine, keeping the site clean, removing garbage and staying only in the work site area. You can always identify members of the crew by their Paradisaic shirts, and your assigned foreman is always available to address any questions or concerns. We’re just as respectful of your families time and routine so when we begin a project we will sit down with you to learn what works best for your family – things like can the pet go outside, when does the baby nap, do you mind the crew listening to the radio, where to park, etc. It seems like a lot but it is your home and at Paradisaic we respect that. Warranty Paradisaic provides a two year guarantee on our workmanship. In addition customers are covered under the individual material warranties of the applicable manufactures of selections and finishes.

**Special promotion on now: free alarm installation + 15% off the first year of monitoring** (valid for new installations only) By strategically locating devices designed to detect intrusion, Safetech's acquired a unique ability to successfully protect both people and property. By blending together different security technologies and procedures we achieve the highest security standard possible with the lowest “rate of loss” among our clients in the industry. Only by taking a comprehensive integrated security approach to the needs of our clients can the best results be achieved. For instance, statistically adding an alarm will reduce a chance of a ‘break and enter’ by 10x when compared with a home that has no alarm system. However, if you combine one or more surveillance tools together, such as an alarm system combined with video surveillance cameras, your chance of a ‘break and enter’ is reduced by 40x when compared with an unprotected property. Furthermore, even if you do end up being a victim of a ‘break and enter’ the amount of property stolen is 50% less than it would be if the premise only had an alarm system. Compare this to a property that has little or no protection (no alarm or video cameras) the savings are even greater, with a total 80% reduction in loss of property value. Therefore, security surveillance tools work even better when used in tandem to prevent property loss and are a very effective way of deterring and reducing crime. Good Protection Starts with Good Design Safetech loss prevention advisors are trained to ensure clients receive proper security coverage using the significant arsenal of security tools and techniques they have at their disposal. An advisor will begin first by having a detailed discussion with our potential clients to determine their specific application and security needs. Once an advisor is satisfied that they have an understanding of the clients needs a security solution will be recommended. There is absolutely ‘no obligation’ to follow any recommendation given and there is no charge for our security evaluation. Good protection may start with good design but it can only be maintained with good monitoring and management procedures.Most people think that a 24 hour monitoring station exists solely to respond to emergency signals. However, equally important is the need to respond to no signals when one is expected, or to trouble signals coming from the control panel. A trouble condition may arise when a client’s alarm panel fails to send its scheduled weekly test signal to the monitoring station, or, if it sends a signal indicating that the power has failed or the back up battery is low. “How quickly a security company deciphers and responds to these conditions is a true measure of the quality of their service”.
