I had a drainage system and dehumidifier installed in my basement. When they came to do the work they tried not to hang plastic to protect my belongings from dust, after being told they would. The guy looked at me like I was crazy. He left and came back with plastic to tarp off my things. They started on the job. Carrying dozens of five gallon buckets of concrete out of my basement. Getting debris all over my steps and hallway to the front door. They didn't put anything on the floor. I had to clean the steps, hallway floor and basement floor multiple times to get it all up. Less than two hours after they finished the concrete had sunk and wasn't anywhere near level. The entire length of the basement was unlevel. They sent back a different crew to redo it. They did put down a sheet on the floor and stairs which I appreciated. They did get it much more level than the first people but it still isn't great. They sent a final guy for a walk through the next week. I asked why they didn't use a saw to cut a straight line and he said that they only do that if the customer requests it, otherwise they use a jackhammer down the entire floor to cut it out. Now to make it look normal we will have to go through and put self-leveling down. Had I known that my floor wouldn't look just like it did before minus the unpainted new concrete I would've never chosen this company and paid 9,000 for this repair. Spending that much I would just expect for the concrete to look just as good as my floor previously did. Just know that if you chose this company make sure you request them to cut a straight line or you will have an uneven floor all the way across.
