Spray-Net offers a value-added ser-vice to homeowners by delivering a quick, cost-effective and per-manent renovation solution that completely transforms the look of a home in one day.

The best alternative to exterior replacement, Spray-Net renews and restores aluminum, vinyl, PVC, stucco and aggregate.

“It’s exciting to introduce this product to the Ottawa market,” said Patricia Joyce, owner of the Ottawa West franchise, who did substantial research before deciding that Spray-Net fit her “perfectly.” “We’re a full life cycle company — research and develop-ment, manufacturing, production, and after-care. There are few com-panies that actually manage every spoke in the corporate wheel, but by doing so, we have the ultimate quality control.”

“We have the best product and also the best service,” agreed Si-mon Piché, sales representative for the Ottawa East Spray-Net, which is owned by Bernard Jobin. “It’s a really good process.”

Founder and president Carmelo Marsala created the concept of a permanent exterior paint solution in 2010.

As a homeowner herself, Joyce strives to treat her clients the way she wants to be treated and cares about making the community a

better place to live.She has noted that many homes

in Ottawa have blasé white win-dows and doors. “They look unfin-ished and can use beautification. After Spray-Net, the house looks much more luxurious.”

Spray-Net restoration is actu-ally an investment, she said. “You reap the rewards of 140 per cent to 180 per cent of the value of the job, which is added to the value of your home. Everybody makes money when we spray a home.”

By preserving it, the company is also saving high-quality siding from the landfill. “Paint, over time,

powders and stains the adjacent masonry. We can stop that process at a fraction of the cost of replace-ment. Our paint will never pow-der, and solar reflected pigments ensure the colour will last.” They offer a 10-year warranty against discoloration and a 15-year war-ranty against peeling.

“We deliver on the promise,” she said. “The sheen when our job is done looks as if it just came from the factory. I’m very detail-orient-ed; it has to be perfect.”

Spray-Net: Exterior spray-painting specialists restoring and beautifying Ottawa homes

Patricia Joyce and the Spray-Net team can transform the look of a home from drab to luxurious in just one day.

Maintaining and growing beauti-ful lawns, Conor McVeigh noticed that many big lawn care companies didn’t seem to repair lawns beyond a quick fix, while landscaping com-panies weren’t as passionate as he was about the beauty of grass.

A self-described “lawn lover,” he thought they didn’t take enough care when applying sod. His solu-tion was to create New Lawn Ot-tawa, now in its third successful year in the re-sodding business.

“Natural organisms — like apple trees, dogs and tulips — have be-come extremely popular by bene-fiting the most influential of organ-isms, human beings,” said McVeigh, a professional landscaper for eight years, and in the lawn care business for five years. “New Lawn Ottawa uses that strategy as well. We ben-efit people by making yards look beautiful. However, just benefiting people isn’t good enough, because like everything else, we have com-petition. We only become popular if we are convenient, efficient and effective — and so that’s what we strive to do.”

New Lawn Ottawa has beauti-fied property from small, postage stamp-sized lots to large country estates.

“Our customers tell us that we

are reliable, courteous and effi-cient,” said McVeigh. “To us, that’s just how business should be done. Once you call us you’ll get a writ-ten estimate within 48 hours, and when you decide to get the work done we’ll give you a set installa-tion date that will not change.

“Our team of resodding experts will make sure that the soil is graded properly so that the water

drains away from the foundation of your house and your lawn is nice and flat. The sod rolls will be per-fectly placed together so that the lines disappear quickly. Our 60-day warranty will leave you with peace of mind.”

New Lawn Ottawa will help to beautify your lawn beyond belief

Ottawa Granite Shop operations manager Omar Jabara points to an exquisite slab of grey-streaked black Brazilian granite on display in his newly renovated showroom on Colonnade Road South. It looks for all the world like a piece of ab-stract space art, and there are a dozen or more of these polished stone masterpieces still awaiting the visitor’s inspection.

“Our clients see the actual slabs they will be getting for their house,” Jabara said. “After we go out and do a template and measurement, we ask the clients to come back to the shop so that we can map out their slab to get the best effect from the characteristics of the stone when it is cut.”

The sound of diamond-tipped saws biting through stone in the on-site fabrication shop leaves no doubt that these beautiful slabs are destined for other greatness as functional countertops, sinks, fireplace hearths, tables, showers, and even decorative wall-hangings. “We have the best fabricators in the city,” Jabara said. “They are arti-sans.”

It’s no wonder the Ottawa Gran-ite Shop has taken the Consumer Choice Award for Business Excel-lence the last five years running,

and maintains a loyal clientele of homeowners and professional con-tractors. “We pride ourselves on be-ing a custom fabrication shop that specializes in stone,” Jabara said. “People know what the end result will be. Eighty per cent of our retail business is by word of mouth.”

Jabara said the company offers a range of modern fittings and in-novative, custom-designed prod-ucts to fully integrate and protect any stone countertop system. The ‘drain-less sink’ designs are a testa-

ment to the artisanal craft of their fabricators. “We offer advanced so-lutions for people by integrating technology with everyday counter-tops,” he said.

“We always know what is coming next,” he added. “Instead of being followers, we work hard to be the stone industry leaders in Ottawa.”

The Ottawa Granite Shop is located at 207 Colonnade Rd. South. For more information call 613-228-2667 or visit www. ottawagraniteshop.ca.

The Ottawa Granite Shop has a newly renovated showroom that makes it easy for clients to choose the slabs of granite they want.
