Keith Franklin

This summer, Keith approached me outside my new house that I had moved into a few months ago. He informed me that he had poured the concrete driveway for one of the previous owners and that he could fix the corner on one of our steps that had the corner broken off. I said that would be ok. He quoted $85.00 and did that job that weekend or the next, and did a fine job on that. I told him I had an old house that I was working on getting fixed up that needed several steps fixed. We went to look at that and he said he would pour new steps, fix the crack in the side of the house adjacent to it, fix the corner on the porch, and stucco the side of the house where the stucco was damaged. In July he finally did the pour. As of 10/1/09 he had not returned to remove the forms nor could I get a hold of him. I had been disabled during the late summer and had removed the forms myself 3 months later to find that the pour was awful and there were major holes in the fronts of the new steps. I then left a note as his residence since I couldn't reach him by phone anymore. He called back 10/5/09 and said he would go by and fix the steps. He fixed two of the major holes and left one small hole still there. The stucco never got patched nor did the concrete get stained to match the rest. I found it very difficult to get follow up and when I finally got a follow up, didn't get a complete one. I will revise this if he finishes this later on, but I am having doubts as to whether or not he is going to finish it.
