But the patio looks wonderful, very professional. We will hire them again, when this needs renewing.
It's been two years since the stamped concrete was put in, and the color appears to be holding great. No issues with with the quality of the workmanship. Would recommend to anyone looking to freshen the look of an old patio.
UPDATE:
I did take Mark and Gena, owners of and quot;Richardson's Concrete Effects,and quot; to court twice. The first time the Pro-term Judge did not know any thing about Concrete Effects, so Gena proceeded to tell the Judge about the installation process - her professional side of it. Gena and Mark being the Contractors told the whole story. I had provided the pictures, but that meant nothing, since I guess I was considered a layman. The Judge did not even bother to look at the pictures.
The Second time, The Pro-term Judge was not really interested because and quot;Richardson's Concrete Effectsand quot; won the first time. I told the Judge it did not rain until the week of March 12, 2011. Gena produced a national weather report, which apparently had nothing to do with the weather in our area. The Judge took her word, anyway. I have since secured a local weather report contradicting her testimony in court.
I might add. I am 77 years old, and on and quot;Richardson's Concrete Effectsand quot; advertisement. it states $250.00 senior citizens discount. I never received a discount of any kind.
I am attaching a set of pictures of my property which show the work done by the and quot;Richardson's Concrete Effectsand quot; and the work that had to be done by another contractor to correct the damage,that and quot;Richardson's Concrete Effectsand quot; had done to my property. (Pictures don't lie.)If anyone cares to contact me and see my property, they are welcome to email me at [email protected]. Leave a message with your phone number, and I will return your phone call.

Reluctantly Richardson's Concrete Effects must set the record straight.

We told Mark beforehand that we would remove the carpet, pad, baseboard, doors, tackboard, and nails. We asked if he could remove some of the linoleum at the entryway which he did without including the removal of the linoleum in his final price. Mark's people came out a few day later and got right to work.
They took about 1 week (7 days) or so to finish about 1000 sq feet, which was expected as he told us upfront that he was fitting us in around other jobs, and as we hadn't moved in yet this was no problem.
We were only charged $4 a sq ft and the floor came out looking beautiful, Mark's wife Gina, performs the staining and sealing portion, which took some time to do because our heater was out of commission and it doesn't dry very quickly in cold weather, but again we expected this and it wasn't an issue.
Additionally, Mark was kind enough to recommend HD supply as a place to buy new baseboard, and they had an excellent deal we took advantage of.
In summary Mark and Gina are extremely professional, competent, trustworthy, and offer a quality job done in a timely manner for a very reasonable price. At first we wanted to do tile, but had received quotes from a couple of others (who didn't look at the house) for over 8-10 thousand dollars. Mark and Gina even helped us understand what is the best way to care for the floor. I highly recommend looking at their company website for pictures of their work, as you will see it is extremely beautiful and affordable. I would and have highly recommended Richardson's Concrete Effects to friends, family, fellow angie's list members, and anybody else that would be interested, I couldn't have been happier with their service or product.
