Sam The Concrete Man - Colorado Springs & Pueblo

On the day they were laying out the forms the franchise owner, Michael Frazier, said he'd add a 4" lip to the slab for exterior metal and help shed water. I told him we just need to 30x40 dimension. He assured me it would work fine! When his crew had laid out the forms 30'8"x 40'8" the footer moved out to the edge with it. It was not just a 4" lip 6" thick. This meant that the posts for the steel building would only have 8" to sit on and get bolted to instead of 12". Plus he did not lay out the forms 10' from a large tree as agreed, he placed it only 5' away. Michael Frazier refused to correct his mistakes. Instead, this week he sent a new contract for $3466.00 more than the first which again required half up front!

This is the second job we hired John to do. The first was outstanding, so we were happy to hire him for the second job. The concrete work on the second job was again very good. However, we asked the workers to leave some of the excavated dirt so we could use it to put around the concrete (the yard slopes) and they did, but they poured and buried all the excess concrete in the dirt, making it unusable for the yard. Now, I have a huge pile of concrete and dirt mixed that I need to get rid of. then I'll still need to get more dirt that I can plant some grass in.

John Bandock - Owner in Colorado Springs made a great first impression but his follow up / quality / cleaning around job site and non compliance with codes was absolutely irresponsible.

Work went well and driveway is beautiful, only concern was workers walking on perennial plants and piling dirt in the perennial garden during the work.

Excellent job!  We were very happy with their work and would use them again.

A concrete driveway was installed in July 2014 and was supposed to be graded away from the home for drainage. Instead the driveway sloped toward the house. Ponding of water due to poor slope and large indentations in the concrete surface resulted in the driveway being solid ice during the winter, and no salt could be used as that would have"voided the warranty" and it was expected they would return to repair/replace it. When rains began in 2015, the water drained toward the house and into the basement several times. The company was made aware of drainage issues in late July of 2014 and has failed to make repairs to the present time, August 2015. Photos and videos have been sent to the owner John Bandock, and he and his company will not return phone calls. They also failed to install a conduit under the concrete for wiring.
After installation in July 2014, it was noted that the sprinkler system (that was clearly marked prior to the job) had been damaged by lacerations in five places and the cap to the City of Colorado Springs water pipe had been cut. John Bandock, the owner said they couldn't have damaged these items and refused to repair them. The company also failed to do appropriate clean up after the job.
Through July 2015, we have made many phone calls, left messages, texts, and emails to this company which has several numbers in Denver and Colorado Springs through July and have NOT heard back from them.
This company is the worst of the worst!!!!!

Guys came in and created the form on one day with rebar and poured the next day with a two day set for the concrete and then removed the forms. My wife and I will hire them again for another project in the backyard later in the summer. Good quality work for a great price.

Delayed somewhat due to weather. Communications re delays could have been better. Work product excellent. Our work was performed by the Colorado Springs location; 9328 Wolf Pack Terrace, Colorado Springs, CO, 80920; under direction of John Bandock. We found John to be very professional and knowledgeable.

John was a pleasure to work with...responsive to our request, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.  The quote was accomplished quickly, set-up/preparatory activities were completed ahead of schedule, the job was completed on time, high quality workmanship, and site clean-up performed.  We'd absolutely recommend Sam the Concrete Man to our friends!

I had an existing slab of 100 sq ft I want expanded to about 350 sq ft. John came out to give me a bid. I called to get the work scheduled and was told they could start in a week. They called at the beginning of that week to say they could start 2 days earlier. The crew that came out to do the form and tie in to the existing patio were very professional. 2 days later they came to pour the concrete. They worked efficiently and the work done looks beautiful. John came back out to make sure I was 100% happy with the work that was done and to ensure the clean up was up to my standards. Extrememly professional and prompt. If my calls were not answered right away I received call backs within a few hours. Work was done ahead of schedule and finished within 2 days. couldn't be happier.

Provider did everything they stated they would do in the written proposal.  On the first day spent on preparation, they arrived 20 minutes ahead of their stated arrival time, and by the time I came home from work in the afternoon, all of the subgrade preparation was completed.  I was able to visually see that what they promised in their proposal was in fact reality, before the concrete was layed the following afternoon.  They even matched the control joints of the new drive with the existing ones of the old drive.  At the end of the job, the provider cleaned up residual mess as promised.  I would not hesitate to use this provider again.  They provided quality, professional work at a cost that was several hundreds of dollars below other estimates/proposals.
