Final product was terrible... blotchy and discolored. I was hesitant to pay in full, but Jason (owner) told me to trust him and the problem would go away. I paid him in full. Ten months later the problem hasn’t gone away and he won’t return my calls. He is dishonest and I don’t recommend Concrete Concepts.

The stamped patio came out nice, but the brick edging did not last one season, The bricks have sunk and separated from the patio and have fallen off in multiple places. All the concrete area underneath the brick is crumbling and will continue to sink. I have repeatedly tried to contact the owner of Concrete Concepts. He assured me he will fix it, but he does not return my calls and texts and he does not come when he says he will. This has been going on for months. Now it is winter and it is too late to get it fixed this season. I got an estimate from another contractor of $1000 to get this fixed. This is very upsetting because we spent over 10K on the project. He told me he was coming the week of 11/12/2018. He did not come and did not call to cancel or explain. I gave a fair rating only because the stamped portion of the patio is okay.

Everything went as planned and even faster than I anticipated.

We hired Jason & his company to tear out our small patio & replace it with a much larger stamped concrete patio and a pergola. Initially, we were so impressed - Jason took us to several previous jobs & they looked nice. We actually were ready to hire someone else, but after meeting the people that had previously hired Jason & hearing their great remarks, we went with the cheaper bid, and hired Jason & Concrete Concepts. From there, it went downhill.
In tearing out the original patio, our sprinkler system was damaged & so was the siding on our house. We didn't make a big deal about it, figuring that it had to be expected. Then all of the materials were put in our backyard, but the workers kept getting delayed from other jobs. It became a job just to talk to Jason & when we did finally reach him, he was always apologetic, but would promise a schedule that wasn't going to work - causing more delays. Finally after several weeks, PART of the patio was poured & it really did look beautiful. However, when we looked closely at both the finished patio & the unfinished area, we found that the supporting rebar rods were simply laying underneath the concrete, not IN it as it should be to be supportive. At first Jason didn't seem to understand what the problem was - but after my husband informed him that he had poured concrete before & knew that those rods were supposed to have been pulled up into the concrete, he did apologize again. In the end, the poured concrete had to be destroyed & removed & all new concrete had to be poured correctly. It was & Jason honored his bid, not charging us for the extra work & materials. It really was quite a hassel though - taking up the entire summer - not finishing for months - and to be honest the steps & the edges of the patio are "fine" but they are rough & don't look professionally done. The steps are shaped too pointy & you can see holes & gravel & rocks along the outside edges of the patio. Plus, our backyard was so destroyed that we had to have it completely redone afterwards.
Jason is a nice guy & hopefully his work has gotten better & more professional - but I've always been sorry that we didn't hire our original choice. It was truly a nightmare for our entire summer!
On the other hand, Bryan DeLap with All Under One Roof was a treasure! He built the pergola & had it painted & even painted our fence to match the pergola at a minimal charge. I've since hired Bryan a few times & would again at any time.

The project is beautiful. I love my new driveway and wall. This project ended up better than expected. The crew was professional. The job was completed in a timely manner. The only improvement would be communication as I didn't hear from him and then he just showed up to do the job. Everything else went so well though that I would still happily use him and recommend him for any other projects.

This contractor (Jason) significantly misrepresented his abilities to be awarded the project. He was not interested in following the plans to the project, or maybe he just did not understand the technical information? He was not interested in reinforcing the concrete with rebar no matter how asked/told. He showed up whenever he felt like it and left the same way. The three days they worked on the project workers ranged from 1 to 3 and hours were; 11 to 5, 8 to 2 an 10 to 4. The work was so bad the city inspector took one look at it refused to waste his time writing any reports but instead asked for Jason to call him immediately. We ultimately fired him as negotiations with him were going nowhere. He left us with a completely destroyed yard and property damage. Jason?s business model is to slam the project through as fast as possible and take your money. He is not concerned with quality, project plans or customer satisfaction.
Response from Concrete Concepts
"This client is misrepresenting my skills and abilities. As they have stated not reinforcing with rebar well first I would like to say this was a very small project comparetively speaking to the projects I have completed. Secondly I did not pour any concrete so the rebar was not an issue also as stated in the Johnson County Building Codes rebar is not required for piers nor was it in my contract to put rebar in the piers. Rebar is only required in the footings and walls that were supposed to be poured on this project of which they did not allow me to finish. Also stating the inspector I called him and his only wish was to move some of the pier boxes to confirm with code which was not a bid change at all in fact that is what an inspector is for so that you can make changes before you pour concrete (noted no concrete was ever poured). This customer states property damage however there was never any damage what so ever done to their home now if a customer wishes to have a project where 8 holes are being dug in their yard and not expect to have some yard damage then they not need to have a project like this done. Their idea of property damage was dirt piles in their yard from the holes dug for the footing and piers. Their hours they have represented are way off as they and I always had 3 workers on the jobsite which was plenty for the small project this was. The project consisted of 8 pier holes and a small 15x15 patio. Not to mention this client has never paid me for the work that I did do nor did they allow me to finish the work that was started which was a violation of the contractural agreement. I would advise any contractors that are looking to do work for this homeowner to stay far away as they will try to give you some lowball payment in the end that won't even cover your expenses. Please don't let one customers views that don't even know Johnson County Building codes determine your interest in using my company. I find this report a huge misrepresentation of my company and would gladly provide you with references and go with you to show you projects that I have completed that make this project seem very very small. Please look at my website as you will see a 1100sqft paito stamped, colored, with seating walls, firepit, bbq grilling area to just mention one of my jobs. More pics will follow of other jobs such as a 600sqft patio with an 800sqft composite deck over it so as you can see this customer was out of line when stating this report."
