"Sorry to hear you are unhappy with the work you had done, but you are mistaken Tulumello Concrete has never done any work for you."
Charlie Tulumello responded and came to our house the same day we called. One of the contractors from Angieslist (who lives just a couple blocks from us) cancelled twice so lost the bid.
We had to wait a few weeks for their availability and good weather (call ASAP early in the season and expect service after a few weeks), but the 5 man crew was all business. The crew had about 200 years experience between them (really- the 'kid' was in his 40s and 2 of the guys were very fit right-off-the-boat from Italy 70+ year olds). About 20 minutes before the cement truck came they got really energetic like hunters preparing for the kill!
The mini tractor that brought the cement into the back yard from the truck was damaging to surrounding flowers and shrubs- mask with plastic sheeting and masking tape your flowers, lawn, house, and anything adjacent to the work area you want to keep nice.
The 'dust' he threw on the cement to impart the secondary color was a huge mess that rose above the house like a cloud (close all windows, etc)
The price was about $1,000-$1,500 less than relaying our existing unilock pavers or replacing the pavers with new. When we were quoted the price, included was removal of the pavers by Tulumello (which we ended up selling on craigslist and having 'removed' for free before Tulumello arrived). Since Tulumello didn't need to remove the old, maybe we should have gotten a price break. (Removal was a huge job for the people who bought the pavers and would have been for Tulumello, too!)
In the end, we are very happy with our new patio! My wife agonized over which color (Charlie plays it conservative on colors he advises and applies, which is wise, I think). When trying to choose color from their website, it was hard to discuss with him which colors we liked from the website because the samples were not numbered. My wife at first thought we got a different color than what she thought she wanted, but I think she likes now what we ended up with.
Charlie came back after a few days and spray coated the patio and touched up places we scratched with our patio chairs. He also brought us a bottle of his home made Cabernet which we still are looking forward to enjoying.
FYI the photo of the finished patio was done after rain, so the big blotch is just the first spot to dry.
