Master Concrete & Interlocking

was established in 1996. Master Concrete began operation with only three company trucks and three employees, commencing work in Oakville, Burlington and Mississauga. Master Concrete endured a successful year enhancing both residential and commercial properties. After many successful years the company expanded. Master Concrete purchased more vehicles and hired more employees to allocate multiple crews for designated task. This made it possible to start numerous jobs on any given day.
Master Concrete is owned and operated by Herculano Sarabando and his wife Lucia Sarabando. This coming July they will be celebrating 15 years of marriage. Herculano and Lucia have three wonderful children. Ashley their oldest daughter is thirteen, Sofia is 12 and the newest addition to the family their son Isaac, turning three in August. They reside in Milton, in the country on the outskirts of town on Bell School Line. This is where they operate their home based business. They moved from Oakville to Milton in 2005 after purchasing an 11 acre farm for the opportunity to operate their home based business. Moving to Milton really opened a window of opportunity to flourish within the community. They have watched the community grow and are proud to live and work in the Town of Milton.
Herculano has applied his 29 years of concrete experience to excel his company. His experience began in Portugal, working construction. In 1987 he moved from Portugal to Oakville with his parents and siblings. Upon arriving to this new country he obtained employment and continued working construction, gaining valuable knowledge in the concrete and asphalt occupations. Wanting to advance his career and income for his family he proudly opened his first company Master Concrete in 1996.
Using her experience as a Medical Secretary Lucia decided to support her husband and run the office when he opened the company in 1996. As the company flourished Lucia required office assistance and hired Jennifer Dean in 2003. The two worked side by side to advance Master Concrete, while also embarking on a new friendship. In the fall of 2009 Samantha Smith was hired to relive Jennifer while on maternity leave.
Master Concrete is the company it is today due to its valuable hard working employees. Everyone works together as a team and they treat each other like family. When the working environment is positive and employees are given incentives, projects are successfully completed with honorable satisfaction. Master Concrete takes great pride in their work and aims to please every client.
Master Concrete believes in giving back to the community. They have been annual supporters of The Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation, The Drugs and Addiction Magazine, Drug Facts for Young People Magazine and The Oakville Hospital. Master Concrete also pledged money for an employee’s sister to walk in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. If you would like to meet with Herculano and Lucia they will be showing their support for Milton, at this year’s fundraising Gala for the Milton District Hospital on April 24th.
Master Concrete would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm thank you to the residences of Milton. We are pleased to be able to provide you with our service and quality work. Master Concrete looks forward to our relationship growing and flourishing. Thank you so much for your continued business, we look forward to another successful year.
