DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! UPDATE-LICENSE HAS EXPIRED 5/31/17! We hired George Atlas of Atlas Concrete to fix our existing concrete patio and stairs on 10/15/16 at a cost of $6,935 with 1/2 down and the rest when the job was done. He was to pour an additional 4 inches of concrete over existing cracked concrete, apply an Ashley Stone stamped pattern along with an Acorn light color and replace stairs in 2 locations into the house. He began the job on Wednesday, 10/19/16 by texting us a picture of the stairs demo asking for additional funds for the stairs as they were solid concrete and it would take another 1/2 day of labor to completely remove. We agreed to the price change. Concrete was poured on Friday, October 21st. Our house is our retirement home in the near future. We arrived on Sat, Oct 22nd and George Atlas was finishing up. We couldn't get into our backyard and patio area due to the 3 trucks and all equipment from Atlas Concrete. We looked at the finished product from our living windows and were concerned that we couldn't see the entire patio from the backyard. George assured us that if there were any problems with his work that he would immediately take care of it. He also said that we could not walk on it or use it until it was completely dried. We paid him the balance on the signed contract plus an additional $365 labor charge for the stairs for a total of $7,300. On Sunday, October 23rd, we walked into the backyard and saw lots of problems with the stamping. There were boot marks as well as wheelbarrow marks in the concrete throughout the patio. These marks were not seen when we looked the day before from the living room. We immediately called and got a hold of George to complain. He said he would come back out on Sat, Nov 5th to discuss the problems. He said that our concerns with the stamping problems I.e. boot marks and wheelbarrow marks would be solved by removing the concrete sealer and adjusting the color so those marks wouldn't be visible. He said he was hoping to fix it before winter weather set in. That didn't happened. We kept in contact in December 2016, Jan 2017 and again in March 2017. We wanted to make sure that he knew we would not go away. He assured us we were his first job in the spring which would be in late April or beginning of May. That didn't happened. Finally on June 4th after being blown off several times, we got George back to our house to look at all the problems plus 3 NEW HUGE CRACKS across the patio that isn't even 8 months old! We told him the entire patio needed to be removed and replaced after pointing out the all the cracks, boot marks, wheelbarrow marks and shoddy stamping. He agreed to replace. We wanted it done before the 4th of July. That didn't happen. Got a hold of him by phone several times just to hear a myriad of excuses ranging from being sick, delayed on jobs etc. Finally got a text from George saying first full week of August. That didn't happen. Tried to nail down date and time and George texted on Monday, Aug 7th saying Thursday, Aug 10th. He didn't show. We are done contacting George but we will not go away. We have all phone records, paperwork, pictures and texts to pursue all options against this company and owner. read more
