Above Average Concrete

I hired Mr. Woods to put a French drain in front of my house. He was unresponsive with calls or text most of the time, he always had an excuse on why he wasn't at my job site, he said he ordered materials I never saw, and when we decided to halt his employment with us he refused any refund. I gave him$1600 upfront, and all I have is a broken sprinkler system, a trench in front of my house, over $600 worth of damages (or more), and he refuses to refund anything. If you hire this guy, my suggestion is to not give him any money up front. He became very unprofessional the more I asked why he wasn't working on the project. I just filed the paperwork for small claims court.

Mr. Wood originally seemed very professional and capable. We did not look at reviews online prior to hiring him. A family member had used him and the work was done well. The work started in the week of April 9. It was supposed to take three weeks. We fired him on July 6th. When he worked he worked well. The main problem was inconsistent work and saying he was coming and not showing up. The work was consistent the first week or two. After that he didn't show up for two weeks, saying he pulled his back. Then it rained for 3 weeks. Following the rain he started back and he stated he had bigger jobs that he needed to catch up on but that he would continue to work on ours. We were understanding but it continued to drag on. He would say he was coming and not show up. This went on for another month. He would come 1x a week for a few hours. Then he would text and saying he was coming but not show up. His word became so unreliable and not trustworthy we couldn't count on anything he said. Then he approached us stating he had spend the money for supplies on income and wanted us to take the supplies out of the remaining labor money so he could continue. Instead of giving him money I called each of the stores and ordered and paid for the supplies. He started stamping the concrete walls since he now had the material needed. While his work looks good, getting him to work is the problem. After not hearing from him for two weeks we called and sent texts. No Reply! He finally texted that he was coming the next day, No Show! That was the last straw. I had his molds/forms for the stamping. We contacted him via text and told him he could pick up his forms when he brought the remaining supplies we had purchased. He came the next day to do the exchange. We are currently getting two estimates to get the work completed.

Took my deposit, and never even started on my project. One lie after another. Many excuses, and then William Woods stopped responding all together.

I contacted Mr. Woods from Above Average Concrete to re surface my concrete floors. He guaranteed me he would do a great job and that it would be no problem. After I gave Mr. Woods the deposit and a contract was written, I never heard from him again. He was supposed to start the job a few days later. I sent him a text and he responded with, he is trying to "catch" up and he assured me that he would "straighten me out." As of now, it's been three weeks and no sign of him. Above Average Concrete's web site is unavailable with an "error 451" code, which means legal issues. Word of advice, save yourself a headache and don't let William Woods anywhere near your property. I can't say how his work is, because he never started the project. He is nothing more than a shadetree contractor/crook.

First of all, he is not a professional. He talks a good game when he his trying to get your business. He was never on time except on the day he was to collect his money. Second, do not let his website lure you into hiring him. I reviewed his website and he stated he could stamp the concrete and make it look like brick. What he completed does not look like anything he advertise on his website; do not believe his website. Ask him for at least three referrals of jobs he has done and speak with those individuals. Also, do not pay him one red cent until you are completely satisfied with his product. Do not let him tell you he will return to fix something you are not comfortable with, because he will not return. His WORD is worthless.

The work was OK and so was the price. However he destroyed my sodded lawn.

When I first contacted Mr. William Woods he came right on out to look at what I needed done, gave me some ideas and told me of his web site to check out.  As with all contractors and people who deal with the public, you're not going to please everyone so after reading a few of the comments, pros and cons I asked him questions and got answers and knew what I could expect out of the end result.  I couldn't be happier with his work, and wouldn't hesitate in hiring him again or recommending him to friends!   l

Project never was completed. Request a refund and still waiting. Basically I was lied to. It took forever for him to return your calls and when he did he was full of excuses. Mr Woods was given multiple opportunities to complete to job but never did. Would tell you that he more important jobs that yours. Also he does not have any valid business license as they all are expired. His contract is a joke as he refused to follow it himself. People do not hire this man.

Driveway and walkway were completed. Staff/ owner were very nice and was a very good price but never finished the work. I am very disappointed. I have called owner several times and twice he told me he was coming to finish the work and he never showed. I paid half before he started and the rest when concrete was finished prior to the color being done.

We were very pleased with the concrete removal and replacement, and with the cleanup after the job.  I recommend Mr. Woods' work.

Mr. Woods responded right away to a request for quote and came out to the house to provide a quote within 24 hours.  The only reason for the B grade in responsiveness and punctuality had to do with weather and not the performance of Mr. Woods and his staff.  The service was excellent and extremely professional.  The stamped concrete looks beautiful with two different patterns used flawlessly.  From start to finish the entire project took less than two days from ground breaking to the concrete forms pulled and clean up of the site.  The entire crew was extremely conscientious and very good to work with.  They paid very close attention to not disturbing the yard and driveway and replaced sod around the sidewalk when they were done to give it a nice finished look.
