Get matched with top decorative concrete pros in Alief, TX

"The plan on this job was to protect the pool from collecting debris with a plastic tarp. In the demolition process, the crew damaged several coping bricks. The framing, rebar, concrete pour and stamping went otherwise OK. They were late removing the tarp due to needing to work on the brick, and it later rained, covering the tarp with water. Joe offered to cover the coping brick damage, sending a guy at the end of other jobs to chip the broken bricks out over the course of the coming week. He damaged a finish tile. Also, the number of “damaged” bricks seemed to increase as we went along. We were not able to remove the tarp when anticipated due to the additional coping demo, and it stayed on over the rains leading up to the 4th of July weekend. Joe's original plan was to clear any water from the surface of the tarp with a submersible pump, removing the debris along with the tarp. This did not work due to the amount of water that had collected. He cut the tarp to remove it, with the debris falling in the pool. After a few days of brick chipping, I started asking for a new schedule. Joe told me to call the office. I asked this question repeatedly, sharing my frustration with the way the job was going. She eventually told me to talk to Joe when he arrived with the crew on July 9. When he appeared on the 9th, he went back to check on his guy and quickly went back to his truck. I flagged him down to give him a spare finish tile and ask my scheduling question. He drove away while I was talking, indicating that he had to get to another job. I waited for a while, then called the office to complain about being disrespected and still not having a schedule. I was angry on this call, but did not yell or use profanity. Joe returned to my home later that morning. I opened the door when I saw him. He came at me with balled up fists calling me names and threatening to beat me. He felt I had been inappropriate with the “seventy year old woman” who answers the phone at the office. He threatened to beat me again, called me some more names, and walked of the job. I have a recording of most of this interaction from my Ring doorbell camera. This was an $8000.00 job. I have paid everything save $650.00 that was due at the end. I will likely incur expenses that exceed this amount in having the work completed, if I can get a contractor to finish the job. Additionally, my pool service company indicates that they will charge $1500 to clean the construction debris and another $1500 to restart the pool. There will be additional expense in replacing the water to be drained in the cleaning process. So if you don't mind a contractor that bullies his way out of a job with threats of physical violence when things go south, Houston Solid Concrete is for you. Otherwise, steer clear. They only get 1 start because 0 is not an option."

"I recently hired JMZ Concrete for a project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! JMZ and his team were nothing short of excellent. They arrived on time, demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire process, and were incredibly courteous while working on-site. The quality of their craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and the project turned out beautifully. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch work. Without a doubt, I would hire JMZ Concrete again for any future projects. Highly recommended!"

"Went well - worked with Dorine and George. Hard workers."

"Working with Tom Ruddell was great. He was knowledgeable in his craft, timely, and most importantly, honest about balancing our needs versus wants to maximize our modest budget. I would definitely consult him again about future projects. Thanks, Tom!"

"Showed up on time and completed job as advertised. Finished product looks great!"

"Horrible! I wish I could give this NO STARS! Naji the head contractor basically left the employees that did not speak any English, did not inspect the work and took no accountability for the actions. The workers tripped a circuit that controlled the outside plugs and garage outlets, which caused my freezer in the garage to go out. No one alerted me instead used the neighbors outside plug to continue their work. This was not discovered until I went to prepare for a catering contracted event. I own a small catering business and everything in my freezer spoiled because no one alerted me of the tripped plug. I checked on them and no one made any reference to an issue. I discovered this when I went to prepare for an event. The work was also poorly done. I have videos as well as the neighbors testimony. I lost a client and paid more for breech of contract and the poorly done work. I was offered $150 for my trouble. I lost over 9000 including the amount paid for this poorly done work. Not to mention my business reputation. Do not recommend for anyone. Find another company."

"Met Mr. Prude day one. He was very cordial and attentive to what we wanted done. Was not pushing or selling a specific product. No pressure. Took our request and provided a reasonable estimate. Project took about 2 1/2 days to complete once started. Very happy with the results. Nice!!!"

"Abbott and Crane Constructing did an outstanding job on repairing my roof. Best price and fastest service I could find. What I liked best about their company is how authentic Austin is. He’s a straight shooter and gives a very competitive price. He showed up exactly when he said he would and he was very pleasant to talk to. He definitely gave me the sense that I was in good hands and I will be using this company in the future!"
