I can't speak for others who hired Venator to do other types of work which may be totally different…read morethan the work I required. I hired Venator to install a 4" channel drain that was to replace an original 28 year old 1" drain that was no longer adequate to collect heavy rains and move it away from my patio. While Venator's proposal seemed to be promising to provide a much needed improvement, the end results were a big disappointment. A concrete opening had to be cut in order to receive the new Spee-D Channel drain along a 25' section of my concrete patio, but they cut the opening too small. They proceeded to trim the Spee-D Channel on the bottom to make it fit into the undersized opening, which compromised the integrity of the plastic channel and wasted time focusing on the retrofitting process. All they had to do was to cut an additional 2-3" strip from the concrete and the drain would have dropped into place as the instructions suggested. After numerous attempts to inform the owner, who refused to visit the site to inspect the work, he insisted the job was being done by "Industry Standards". His main communication was via Text. I kept him informed of the shoddy workmanship with the hopes he would come by to see for himself. That was not on his agenda, even after expressing my dissatisfaction with the job as it was proceeding. I was not given a dedicated day for the work to be done. It seemed like my job was fitted in after the workers finished on a previous job. The two workers showed up at 6pm on day one and worked until 8:30pm. Not being able to finish, they had to return the next day at 3pm and worked until 8pm. The two worked hard doing their job but it seemed like this was an exploration, not a familiar experience for them. The left photo is what the installation should look like if done correctly and the right photo is what was installed, after having to cut the bottom flange on the channel drain to force it into the opening in the ground. Unfortunately, you never know what results you will get from a vendor until the job is completed. I am sorry I hired Venator for this job and I do not recommend him for this type of work.

A costly mistake, not just for this job, but for the tens, if not hundreds of thousands in future work that could have followed. They say 80% of success is simply showing up.

Matthew installed a new walkway for us back in 2016, replacing what was likely the original walkway…read morefrom when the house was built in 1980. He did an outstanding job then, and nearly a decade later it still looks just as good as the day it was poured. Not only did it eliminate a major trip hazard, but it also improved the overall appearance of our home. I recently had the chance to speak with Matthew again and reminded him that he installed our walkway all those years ago -- and how impressed I still am with the quality. It's rare to find work that holds up this well even a decade later. If you're considering Complete Concrete & Masonry for any concrete project, I highly recommend reaching out to him for an estimate. Matthew is wonderful to work with, and the durability of his work speaks for itself. I'm still just as happy with our walkway today as I was the day it was installed.

We contacted Matthew Cook at Complete Concrete and Masonry, LLC. Matt stated that his company could repair the problems. The work has now been completed. The repair was much better than we expected. The wall with problems now looks brand new. The workers were professional and provided quality. Matt visited several times during the work to make sure all was good. This was one of the most pleasant experiences I have encountered. We received quality repair at a reasonable cost. Matt will get all of our future concrete work. An amazing company!!

When Skip replaced my front concrete porch he added some type of colorant which wound up drying to…read morean uneven mess. There was also an area by the front door that was an uneven concrete mess with big gaps between the brick and concrete. He came out to attempt to fix these issues . He advised me that I should just have the concrete painted to cover up the uneven color, which will result in more money out of pocket for me, to cover up shoddy work He claims he "fixed" the uneven area by the door. It now looks worse, with different color, texture and a raised area. I have had painters in to look at painting the concrete. They have expressed concern that the "fix" in the front will likely look worse when painted, much like a big drywall patch would look if not smoothed and sanded. I reached out to Skip about trying to rectify this problem area and he just said "Sorry". Claims he did all could do. I'm now stuck with additional expenditures to attempt to correct a giant eyesore in the middle of my entry

The job they did to try to fix their mistake was poor at best and we are going to have to spend more money to try to fix their poor workmanship. I am glad some people had a better experience with this company that we did but after spending $30,000 with them, we still don't have the job they promised. My advice is do not use this company but if you do, get a contract in writing so you will have a recourse if your job turns out like ours did.
