Schrader Concrete & More LLC

As a person, I still believe Freddie is probably a decent human being, but he is either out of his league with the work he was trying to do, or he is intentionally stealing from me. ***I am willing to come to a mutual agreement to move past this, but he will not communicate with me via text or respond when I call him.*** He came by to view the property and job site, knew I had a terrible experience with a previous contractor who poured the concrete wrong - not even parallel - and shook my hand proclaimed, "I will not screw you over", but he could not start the work until my deposit $4800 check cleared. He started the work in late June 2024 by trying to build forming walls out of wood, with 2x4 centers instead of steel ties like every other company. He began to anchor these form walls with screws into logs I have loosely laying on the ground. He bought some rebar but only appeared to install a few feet of one wall. After a few weeks, he stopped coming to the job site and I did not hear from him for over a week until July 25th when he tried to tell me the job is going to cost double what he estimated, but then texted, "But I'm not out to screw anybody". He became unresponsive again until Aug 3rd, when he texted, â  I have no choice but to double the priceâ ¦If we cannot come to an agreement on doubling the price than I have no choice but not to do the job as the funds to complete and pour 2 6â  walls was not in the bid.â  He later tried to justify the bid was based off blueprints, not what the job actually is, which is completely his fault. I INTENTIONALLY have never accepted bids from contractors until they physically come out to view the property, see the terrain, and understand the expectations to get the job done. If he continued to underbid the job after seeing it, that is completely his fault. To make matters worse, Freddie is trying to keep my full deposit amount and no longer responding to calls or texts. He tries to support by stating the deposit is non-refundable, but does not understand that is with the expectation of BOTH parties working to execute the contract. - He never sent me a signed contract as promised. - He offered to send me an itemized listing of materials he has purchased to-date, but never sent it. ***The Franklin County permit office has already confirmed the work that had been started would not have passed their permit inspection. Thus, the work has NOT been done per the contract.*** I have tried to offer Freddie an agreement for me to take the cost of the rebar out of the deposit and he refund the rest, but he is refusing to communicate. If you hire him, do NOT give him a check up front for a deposit.

I'm so glad we reached out to Schrader Concrete. We've been wanting to extend the walkway at our business for a while. Freddie was prompt, friendly and informative. The job was done so fast too! It's so refreshing to deal with a company that cares about their work and can do it when they say they can. Highly impressed with this company and wish I had more concrete work to give them :)

Went above and beyond. Had a water leak in my barn underneath the concrete. Was in a tight area and everyone else I called flat out refused to help. Schrader concrete fixed the leak and kept an eye on it for a few days before filling the hole back in. Definitely highly recommend them and will be calling them back for more work in the future.

They were prompt, courteous, budget friendly, & even exceeded expectations by doing more than asked. Iâ  ve seriously never had such an experience with ANYONE else in any industry. Iâ  d give them 10 stars if I could!

Working with Schrader concrete was great. We now have the patio and landscaping weâ ve wanted for years! I would highly recommend these guys.

Amazing company! They do great and professional work in a timely manner and without breaking the bank!!!. The owner(Freddie) is amazing he answered any and all questions that we had and made sure we were satisfied with the finished product. I will be definitely using them in the future and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Amazing communication skills. Work done in a timely manner. Overall experience was amazing. Will definitely be recommending this company to everyone I know!
