Quality: We had eight 4-foot wide cement steps installed from our sliding glass door to our patio. There was no gravel laid under the cement and no re-bar installed. Six days after the steps were installed, one of them cracked. We contacted Stephen about it and he said that's a normal occurrence. Also, the main reason we needed this new patio and landscaping done was to divert rain water away from our house foundation. This was clearly stated to Stephen and his salesman. Unfortunately, the new patio that Stephen's crew installed was sloped directly toward our house and created more water issues than before the work was done. We informed Stephen that we were very unhappy with the patio slope and to his credit, he had his crew install a trough drain that removes the water. Also, at the end of the job, our yard was left a mess. The crew had had to remove some landscaping during the job, but left a pile of brush, a couple railroad ties, and debris in our yard. As for the swale, they cut our fiber cable, which had been marked, and left a dirt trail with rocks and clumps of grass from the side of our house to the back of our yard. I wish it would have been made known that they were not going to put down grass seed. We had to hire a different landscaper to come and re-do the swale.
Responsiveness: We first contacted All Ready Finished in early July and got a quote. When we called back in August to ask for an updated quote (because we wanted to add more work to the job), it took a bit of time to get in contact with Stephen. While the work was being done, Stephen was present on the job most days and we were able to get in contact with him or have the foreman contact him if needed.
Punctuality: Stephen's crew showed up bright and early and stayed later than most contractors. The crew was also polite.
Professionalism: This job taught us a thing or two about hiring contractors and signing contracts. For the next job we hire out, we will ensure every single item we want done is written into the contract. Stephen and I went back-and-forth quite a bit about what his salesman had assured me would be done and what Stephen was willing to do. Supposedly, the salesman was fired and is no longer with the company. Also, I don't think cement should crack within a week of being installed. I would have expected gravel to be placed under the cement and rebar installed in the cement. This is the first time I've ever seen cement poured in this way.
Very careful around the wires underground. Cleaned up after themselves.
You pay what you get and we got a excellent job done. I do business with them again,
I very nearly refused to let him do the work because he insisted I sign a contract that gave up all my rights in case the job was unsatisfactory, but I finally agreed based on work he had done for two nearby neighbors, and they were very pleased.
The quality of the work was top-notch. Mr. Benson even did a small additional job at NO extra charge!!! The crew that he had assigned to my job were better than I had ever experienced before. They followed his instructions to a "T" and did a quality job.If I had any other jobs in the future,
I would definitely pick Mr. Benson's company. He gets 5-STARS and I
I would highly recommend his company to others who need to have similar work done.
