Update: After posting my initial review, the company said they would reach out to resolve the issues described below, but no resolution occurred. Instead, I was contacted about the impact of my review on their rating. When I followed up via text and email asking how the workmanship issues could be addressed, I did not receive further responses.
I hired this company to build a concrete patio and walkway. Based on my experience, the work was not done in a way I was satisfied with, and I regret this decision. Within about a month of completion, I began seeing cracks in the concrete, and it has not yet been three months since the patio was built.
Before the project began, I informed them that I had an in-ground sprinkler system and asked whether lines would need to be rerouted or removed. I was told they would cap the lines and ensure no water flowed beneath the concrete. After the pour, I observed that active sprinkler pipes remained under the slab, with valve boxes left embedded in the concrete that I cannot access. This meant I had no way to shut off water beneath the concrete.
Based on my understanding and subsequent consultations, I was concerned that leaving pressurized water lines under the slab could lead to soil washout, settling, cracking, and difficult repairs requiring the concrete to be broken. I ultimately hired an irrigation company to shut off the water supply under the concrete and install drainage piping so rainwater could flow away from the slab.
I also experienced drainage and grading issues. After rain, water puddles on the concrete and accumulates around it. Professionals I consulted advised that correcting the slope properly may require removing and re-pouring the slab. So, I hired some other people to fix that as well.
Aesthetically, the results were also disappointing. I was told the new concrete would match the existing concrete, but it does not. The old slab was left in place, creating a visible and permanent mismatch, and the height between the old and new concrete near my AC unit was not aligned.
Overall, based on my personal experience, important details were missed that I believe should have been addressed before any concrete was poured. I would not choose this company again. read more
