Roman Exterior Improvement

The job went great and finished in a timely fashion.

Contractor dug French drains and laid drainage pipes around our barn.  He excavated the soil and leveled an area for a 9' x 33' concrete pad in our barn.   He assured us that he had experience laying concrete, although it became evident to us that he had no idea how to do it.   He failed to grade the area properly for the concrete pad for drainage.   He shorted us on concrete and failed to float, grade, or finish the surface properly.  There were holes in the concrete and dirt, straw, and debris in the concrete.  The pad began cracking almost immediately and three large cracks have subsequently appeared.   Contractor tried to rush off the job the last day without finishing the worked he agreed to do.  He was paid in full but still tried to overbill us for work not completed. I had to subsequently hire another concrete contractor to regrade and finish and seal the pad and to repair the cracks in the concrete. A building inspector who checked the work called it the worst concrete work he had ever seen. This contractor misrepresented himself.  He had no idea how to pour concrete.  Do not use him for any concrete work.
