It was actually $200 less than a competing estimate. The work consisted of dismantling two steps which leads up to a brick porch. Each step was 12 feet wide and 3 bricks high. The bricks were cleaned and damaged bricks were replaced with matching bricks from his shop. The underlying concrete base was in good condition and did not need restoration. The area was covered in tarps to protect plants in the area from mortar dust created during the project. The work took 1 1/2 days. The project began Saturday and the crew returned on Sunday to finish. The workmen were professional and cleaned up the site before leaving.
We dealt with Randy, the Owner at Paradise pools. The project was very encompassing. We were installing a completely new 18? x 40? In-Ground pool along with an eight person sunken Jacuzzi. We decided to have the concrete in our back hard torn up and removed and have everything completely re-poured in stamped, colored concrete as well as having a stegmeiere concrete edge on the pool. We went with a salt water pool with a chlorine generator and decided on a diving board with a deep end. We also needed to build a 5? brick retaining wall to support a larger concrete area for our pool. It was required to increase the flat area available so we could create a larger concrete area around the pool because of a steep slope on the edge of the property.
As is the case with most pool companies, they contract some parts of the job with sub-contractors. Paradise has a contractor to dig the hole, another to do the concrete, and their In-House people do the actual pool. We had talked to other pool companies before selecting Paradise that said they had no subcontractors and later discovered they were not telling the truth about it. Randy was up front and honest about it and had great confidence in his subcontractors.
As a business owner myself, I am aware of the difficulties in dealing with subcontractors, but I think Randy did an excellent job in coordinating the work. It took longer than they had estimated to complete the job. In their defense, it did rain quite a bit that summer. Also, I know that every Pool Company tends to underestimate the time it will take to complete their pool because they know every other pool company they are competing against is likely to underestimate it as well. I have many friends that have pools and none of them had their pools completed in the time frame they were originally given. So, you should just expect that if you decide to purchase a pool from any company. I do think Randy did his best to coordinate the subcontractors and get expedite them whenever possible.
The gentleman that dug the whole was a master of his craft and it was a pleasure watching him work. He was a little grumpy but we were not paying him for his personality. He dug the pool in one day with time to spare. The guys that did the concrete were probably the reason the job was delayed. They did have rain that set them back and they had to set the stegmeiere concrete one day and do the all the rest of the concrete in two other pourings. It was quite a job to jackhammer up all the old concrete and coordinate all the work between the rain days. Throw in the fact that every pool customer wants his job started and completed as soon as the weather breaks each spring and the potential problems become evident. That being said, the guys did a fantastic job with the concrete except I have one major complaint. The edging of the stegmeiere concrete adjacent to the pool sluffed off during the winter after the pool was completed. I did call him and he said that was normal. I am not a concrete expert, but it is not normal. I remember he was understaffed when he poured the stegmeiere edge and he was really struggling to complete the finishing before it hardened. I think he was a little late in completing it and that is why it sluffed. I wish they could apply some product to it to solidify it and make it a solid continuous color. The sluffing makes it a little unsightly but maybe I just notice it more than others would sense it irritates me. I have been told by other concrete contractors that there was a product that I could apply to accomplish what I desire but none of them want to get in the middle of someone else?s job, so I guess I have to live with it. The rest of the concrete job was absolutely beautiful. We paid quite a bit to have the old concrete jackhammered up and to replace everything with the stamped concrete but we are happy we did. It gave the entire pool area the look we desired. The concrete guys were also instrumental in averting a catastrophe. The company I hired to do the retaining wall (unrelated to Paradise Pools), made the wall with a technique that the concrete guys were not comfortable pouring concrete over. They actually refused to take responsibility for any concrete they would pour over the new retaining wall. They were absolutely correct in there hesitation. The retaining wall was not anchored into the ground properly and they ended up partially taking it down to install better anchors. I am very happy that the Paradise Concrete subcontractor took that approach. The retaining wall company made a smaller retaining wall on another part of my property at the same time and did not use the anchors that paradise insisted upon. That wall is leaning badly and will need replaced. Had we not anchored the retaining wall properly under the pool, the entire 50? x 80? stamped concrete job would likely be ruined by now.
The Paradise In-House crew came next to finish the pool. They were experts at their task and quite efficient. Watching the boss of that crew work, it was obvious that he was really skilled at his job.
We have never had a pool before and there is a learning curve associated with maintaining a large pool. We got a saltwater pool with an Aqua rite chlorine generator. The saltwater pool is fantastic and everyone loves the water. We have a diving board, so we had to have a deep end to the pool. We are glad we got the diving board. Everyone enjoys it.
I have had a few problems with the pool. The pump bearing started to fail prior to the warranty expiring and Randy sent his guy (Big Ed Campbell) out to fix it promptly; under the warranty. Recently, the filter was not working and Big Ed came to fix it. He discovered that I had been putting too much Earth product into the pool after flushings, and it had accumulated in the filter. Ed cleaned the filter brushes and solved the problem. That was on me, but Ed is an honest and reasonable guy who knows his job very well. My Aqua rite chlorine generator quit working recently and I realized that it was because I never cleaned the cell. It needs checked every three months and I failed to do that. Ed came over and removed it and dipped it in acid overnight and reinstalled it the next day. Another problem solved. Like I mentioned earlier, there is a learning curve with the maintenance and it takes a few years to get used to doing everything correctly. I am getting there, and Randy and Ed have been there to help me when I screw up; and make good on anything still under warranty.
Was everything perfect with this project? The answer is No. However, Randy is a good, honest guy and the end result was an absolutely beautiful pool. I would use him again and highly recommend Paradise pools to anyone in the market for a Pool Company. You just have to go into it knowing that not everything will go perfectly with the project and it will probably take longer than you anticipate; but Randy will make you a heck of a pool at a competitive price.
I waited (3) years to write this because I wanted to see how Paradise stood by their product and their warranty. They did not disappoint.
We had an epoxy floor/concrete overlay done and it looks amazing. The service provided was great, timely and professional! Highly recommend this company for all your epoxy needs!

"Trevor and his crew had come and scoped the job giving us an estimate. After we agreed they were chosen to the work, we were given a starting date. The crew showed up on time and worked for two and a half days to prepare the area for the patio extension and build a beautiful retaining wall for the area that set back into the hill. The stairs to the front door were replaced with newly constructed rebar and structural elements that will last for many more years than the original stair that only lasted 24 years. The new stairs now match the full width of the front porch which now looks much more symmetrical. The pad leading up to the stairs was enlarged and lengthened. They came back on the third day and the concrete was poured and finished. When they finished the work they made sure they cleaned up the job site and left everything as it was before. Trevor and his crew did an excellent job and we are so happy with how the job turned out and we highly recommend them for any work you may need completed."

"Frank SanPietro was very professional. He arrived when he said he would and was careful to make sure that he and his crew did a great job. They replaced My entire double width concrete driveway.

"Juan and Gabrielle did an amazing job removing our old tile from our house. They finished the whole job in two days. They were very efficient and knew what they were doing. They removed approximately 650 square feet tile from our floors. They also moved washer, dryer and removed toilet/faucet to do underneath. My husband and I am very satisfied with the job they have done and we def recommend Pineda to anybody in need of floor work. We would probably hire them again for our upstairs floors."

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Mcmurray, PA
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
