The crew of 2 plus Jason worked most of the day to get rid of the old concrete and install the new steps. There are 3 steps now instead of 2, and they are much wider. They look great!
The only problem during the process was the crew stepped on and covered over some plants that were planted near the steps. Jason discounted my bill $235 which more than replaced the plants.
I've never been so excited about concrete steps before!
from photographs of his previous work. We selected a texture and color
and then reviewed our high level design elements. A gas fire pit of
landscape block was incorporated into the design. Kelle was able to
lower the cost of the project by leaving the existing 12 foot by 12 foot
square concrete patio in place. Construction began as planned with
slight adjustments for weather. The ground around the existing patio
was prepared to get the proper drainage effect as well as to prevent
settling over time. Concrete was poured, colored, and stamped in one
day with some adjustments performed the day after. Jason Kelle
connected us with plumbing experts who made the final connections for
the fire pit and a portable gas grill. As of the writing of this
review, it has been three years and eight months since completion of the
patio. There are some cracks where the gas line was routed to the fire pit. There are other minor cracks which appear along the lines of where the concrete was jointed. The finish remains the same as when the patio was installed.
This was a job that was a pleasure to be around. Contractor showed on time to give estimate and made some really good suggestions as we went over what I had in mind. All the work listed above was done as was agreed upon and professionally. Only once have I ever worked with a contractor that was as professional and pleasant to work with. Employees were also top quality. I asked for slight changes as we were forming and anything that I asked for and things that came up during construction were all taken care of with no additional charge. It is a beautiful job that is well constructed.
You deal with the owner ( Jason) and he is almost always on the job.I would add the following. Jason made some recommendations regarding color of the concrete. I am glad we listened as the sales brochures of the various finishes apparently do not do a good job of showing how the colors will actually look when finished. He knows what he is doing.
Jason felt that the sealer they used caused the brown spots and that he would acid wash the drive and sidewalk and reseal with a waterbase sealer which was done September 2011. It did not remove the brown color and seemed to make it worse. Jason said he would take a look and would take care of the problem. To my knowledge he did not return to look at the recent seal job.
I contacted him by email in January 2012 and his response was that he was attending a seminar in February about concrete sealer and would contact me afterwards. It is now April 1, 2012 and I have yet to hear from Jason Kelle. I have sent another email and also left a voice mail on his cell phone with no response to date.
