For this install... I contacted Pence's for a bid for a new heat/AC in home on a Saturday, Bob (owner) came out at 8 PM at the beginning of the following week. Was a little late for my taste, especially with a 2 year old, but I didn't have to take off work, so I was happy. He did a quick assessment and came back with a reasonable cost, so I called back the next day to give them the go-ahead. The installation was scheduled quickly and for the same week (probably since it was fall/off season). My wife and I were gone while they were there; they came and left in a 6-8 hour period and everything was basically "done". I went down to check out their work when I got home, and found a nice sheet of dirt covering my basement floor, with several shards of duct metal and screws scattered around. My immediate thought was, "Wow. That's how you leave a job site?" Bob said he had to come back and finish a few things, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed things would look a bit better when everything was completely finished. Well, that didn't happen... I asked Bob to call me or my wife to let us know what time he was coming to finish everything. She works nights, so likes to sleep in when our son allows. We received no call, and he showed up at 8 AM. She was none to happy, and I think Bob got the hint. He said "Sorry to wake you", but as my wife so eloquently put: if you were sorry, you would have called like you said you were going to. That wasn't a big deal overall, it's just nice to know when people are coming to your house, especially when you live in the country like we do and visitors are few and far between. Bob was only there for a few minutes, he installed something and left. Here is a list of the complaints I have with their work: 1) leaving a FILTHY mess in my basement. Granted, we don't keep it that clean, but we do sweep up after ourselves. I sucked up the dirt in my Dyson so I could get a visual of how much dirt there was: it filled up half the canister! Not to mention the sharp pieces of metal in random places and the screws- you know I have a toddler running around! 2) showing up unannounced, as I've already mentioned. 3) the air filter they put in the return duct didn't fit, not by a LONG shot. It stuck out of the duct by a couple inches. Seems like a no-brainer, especially when I had a new one that fit it lying next to the furnace. 4) they had to cut a new hole to the outside to vent. that's fine... but when you cut the hole WAY to big and don't seal it? You can see the outside from the basement by looking through the hole... again, seems like a no-brainer. And they also left their empty caulk tubes outside... Apart from those issues, the fit and finish of our new units is not great. There are several PVC pipes leading to my floor drain now (more than before), I would have joined all of them into one pipe that goes to the floor. The AC unit isn't sitting on the concrete pad outside, it overhands by an inch or so. And the extreme amount of caulk on the house now is just an eyesore. It's also important to note that I did not contact Bob or anybody to fix any of these things. I only hire out what I have to for home maintenance, so I can sweep up their mess and fix a gaping hole in my house easily enough. Frankly I didn't want to speak with them at all, and will try to avoid speaking with them in the future.

The floor had to be sanded and stained three times to get it right. The first two attempts resulted in a disaster, a rough floor with a very uneven finish. Since this was a house we had not moved into, the delay of 10 days it was not serious. If we had lived in the home, the grade would be...

The company messed up the first time. Carl the mover moved me two times. The first time around they were supposed to send 2 24 foot trucks and 5 men just to get it done in one day. They did not get it done in one day. They finally came the next month on the fourth to finish moving everything...

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Lawson, MO
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
