Batson Construction

We employed Batson Construction, Inc to pour approximately 1200 square feet of concrete at our residence which included site preparation, concrete, removal of forms and backfilling up to the new pad; for which we paid $3035.00 in full on Sept. 14, 2010. Mr. Batson operated the bobcat to remove the surface soil. He broke the water line while doing this and we paid for the materials and fixed the broken line. My husband, I and Brad Batson all agreed that he would use the remaining dirt to fill in around the concrete after the forms were removed. After the concrete was poured we discovered that we did not have any water. Mr. Batson and his crew left the job site while we had no water running to our house. He apparently went straight to the bank with our check. We later discovered that the concrete truck had broken another place in the line. We once again paid for the materials and dug up the yard to repair this broken line. It took a week to contact Mr. Batson about removing the forms and I have made three requests for an itemized invoice which he has not yet provided. One of Mr. Batson?s crew contacted us on Sept. 22, 2010 and told us that he would charge an additional $250.00 to move the dirt that is to be filled in around the concrete which was supposed to be part of the complete job. Many of the forms were ?broken off? instead of removed and there are large nails all over the area. Mr. Batson?s claim, now, is that it is not his responsibility to fill in the remaining dirt. The next week we had heavy rain and have discovered that several places on the walkway are slanted so that all the excess water runs right into the house. This man did a very poor job and is totally unprofessional.
