DECORATIVE CURB & CONCRETE

It took Anthony a couple of weeks to get to the job. He would say he was coming out but would then blame the rain on why he wasn't there, even though it did not rain that day, just over cast. When they finally completed the job, it was beautiful. I was so impressed. It looked just as I had wanted it to look EXCEPT for one BIG problem. They put a huge 10" x 12" advertisement for his company in the corner of the patio. I could not believe they would ruin such a beautiful job this way. He tried to point out that on the contract the fine print states that they would do this. This infuriated me even more that he would build an escape clause into the contract. Luckily for me, I did not see or sign a contract prior to him starting the work. He agreed to mix up some concrete and fill in the advertisement (after a lengthy argument). It looks pretty crappy where he filled it in, but much better than the advertisement. He also said he would be out in a few days to seal the concrete. Six months after the job was complete, the concrete had completely faded to almost a white color. Anthony said that was because it had not been sealed and that it would be an additional $200 to seal it. I feel ripped off, but I paid him the $200 because I wanted it to look right. I will be needing more concrete work in the future, but I cannot bring myself to use these guys again. They do beautiful work, but you have to keep on them at every step of the way to do it right and make sure you cross out the part of the contract that says they can put an advertisement in your concrete.
