"When it came time for the pour, the preparation was done in a hurried, haphazard way. I had specifically instructed that the rebar be mounted on concrete chairs because I expected a professional job. Instead, the company owner ordered the concrete before the prep work was finished, then showed up more than 30?60 minutes after the concrete truck had already arrived. That delay forced the crew to rush the placement of the rebar and wire, causing the rebar to slide around during the pour ? far from optimal.
He didn?t have all the necessary supplies on hand, nor did he complete the proper preparation. I told him not to remove the forms that day; best practice is to leave them in place for 24 hours, with 12 hours being the minimum. He ignored my concerns and removed them anyway, insisting he knew better than ?online information.?
Finally, when I asked him to remove the small vertical pieces of wood before leaving, he waited until I stepped inside the house and then left in a hurry."

Keep in mind that permanent patios like concrete slabs will likely raise property taxes, but the added value is usually well worth the investment.
