"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!. House is not level, three of five doors will not close because center of house is to high now, three rooms have wall cracks all over. Ran over my septic alarm box and destroyed it. Damaged two screens. Damaged gutters on both sides of house, soffit and fascia on one side with backhoe. Sent me final invoice and when I questioned about issues was told contract was filled and mechanical lean was put on the house the same day I got the invoice. I have contacted the Attorney General. I will contact an attorney, probably have to pay and then take Trinity to court for repair money. What a joke this guy is."

Patios questions, answered by experts
Cement companies often charge a per-cubic-yard cost for concrete, which averages around $130. In most cases, you can also expect to pay for leveling, surfacing, and add-on services, like stamping concrete. Here are some typical prices for common concrete projects for which you may hire a cement company.
Walkway: $1,800
Driveway: $2,800
Standard patio: $3,300
Stamped concrete patio: $4,000
Concrete steps: $3,500
Colored concrete: $3,800
You might also need to budget for removing your old concrete or additional land prep before your professional can pour concrete.
The costs range from $8 to $20 per square foot, depending on the design complexity, reinforcement needs, and surface finish.
Installing a walkway to your home can add value, as it can make your landscaping look more intentionally designed and boost your overall curb appeal. In addition, walkways can be installed with accessibility in mind, which can be helpful for those with mobility issues or who need a wheelchair.
A paver patio will add more value than a concrete patio. Pavers are a more commonly preferred option from an aesthetic and longevity point of view, so most buyers will be willing to pay more for a paver patio than they would for a concrete one. Pavers also don’t require a permanent foundation, so they won’t increase your property taxes. Buyers also prefer lower property taxes, so that will play into the ROI you’ll see, too.
You don't technically need rebar for a concrete patio, but it's a good idea to install it, especially if your patio will support any heavy items. All concrete is susceptible to cracking, and rebar keeps cracks in check while maintaining a smooth, level surface. Without rebar, cracks will likely widen and cause the concrete to become uneven, compromising its structural integrity.
