Tri-Con Concrete Finishing Co. Ltd. has provided con-
crete floor finishing services for industrial, commercial and
institutional ICI projects in the GTA area for more than 35
years. The enterprise handles a diversity of projects with indi-
vidual attention and a focus on detail because, as founder
and company president Frank Guida says, “you need to do
it right the first time.”
In this business, concrete floors are a specialty in them-
selves. Tri-Con provides a full-service approach, from super
flat, heavy duty warehouse and retail floors to exterior con-
crete and architectural work.

Along with Frank, brothers Sandy and Joe Guida and
partner Jeff Haid oversee the business with more than 100
employees. Joe has responsibility for PATTERNED CON-
CRETE® Ontario exterior concrete finishing (see separate
story) and Sandy takes care of day-to-day site operations.

Haid leads the award-winning Tri Con Haid Concrete Finish-
ing Ltd., producing highest quality concrete floors from its
base in St. Clements, western Ontario.
