The cement work went ok however was much slower and much more costly than the bid. The bid was 16k and the end price of the spalling work was 45k. They drastically under-quoted the size of the gray beam (40% under). I offered to send them the engineering drawings for the quote but they said they were not necessary. They charged by the cubic foot on the gray beam, I asked how much that was per linear foot and they said that one cubic foot was equal to one linear foot, the beam assumption was 8"X16"X12". They could have looked at the engineering drawings and bid the correct size beam since our beam is 12"X20"X12" making a very significant difference in pricing. I was very stressed the whole time as the owner was very difficult to deal with, he would constantly tell lies, i.e. "we were getting a deal because usually a slab is only 4" thick", well not one with rebar through it, a 6" slab is required to properly place the rebar 1.5" from the surface of the cement. He pulled the guys working on our project before our work was completed so at the end no work was done on our place for days at a time. The second part of our work was a bathroom remodel, we had to basically buy everything for the bathroom. The finish work was bad, the tile in the shower has hollows behind it as the tiler just put piles of thinset on the back of the tiles and didn't spread it properly, the grout was not through all the joints, our glass decorative tile has a couple cracked pieces that they cracked during install and the porcelain tiles are not flush to one another. We had them come back three times for the drywall work and although it's much better we are still going to fix the rest of the bad spots and repaint. The owner will only send one or two guys up for a day to repair drywall, paint, and fix all the other bathroom problems, it is never enough time to properly fix the items, the guys sent are always rushed to get the job done and do not have time to do it correctly. If you are in Marathon they may do a better job however if you are 20 or more minutes away they will always be bringing up the distance as a reason for not coming, being late, not being there for building inspections, etc... I would never recommend them to a friend.
