Very poor work and does not stand behind his work, only makes excuses…read more
He did not put a moisture barrier put under what he knew was to be a finished basement, so lots of moisture is coming up with every rain. Very uneven floors, and it snowed/ freezing rained right after, so in the low spots water stood and froze, chipping and cracking. None of the drains are lowered, and the floors not level, so the water does not run towards them. He put the garage door in a different place than the plan said, on another wall and not under the front porch like we wanted. When asked about that, he said he couldn't do anything about it, and that it wasn't his fault, even though he'd been given a copy of the plan.
He blamed the weather, his workers, us and our plumber, because he had to wait a day or two for the plumber to get there for drains, but we'd waited weeks and weeks for him to get to us. He told us it would be fine to pour that day, that he would put on blankets and do other things to help it stay warm enough to cure correctly. He did bring blankets, but removed them too soon and did nothing else. You can now feel the low spots very obviously when you walk across the laminate flooring. We were unable to use the type of flooring we wanted because of the chipping and unevenness. Even without the weather issue, the drastic unevenness of the floor is a big issue.
When all this was mentioned to him before the house was finished, nothing was done. He never offered to fix it, he only offered excuses and blamed us, when he knew we knew nothing about concrete and trusted him since he's supposed to know the business. When we mentioned it again at time to pay bill for garage floor, he blew up, cussing and throwing a fit thinking we were not paying (not the case, we just wanted a reduction in the bill for crappy work), refusing to take responsibility for anything or take any money off the bill.
