Although Leslie's proposal was not the lowest bid I received, it was competitive and I felt much more confident of a positive outcome using Concrete Patios Unlimited.
Leslie Massingill and I talked for over an hour during his first visit. I liked him very much. I liked the other two companies as well, but Leslie's quiet, unassuming manner gave me confidence in what he was telling me. I asked two of the contractors if they would be willing to return on that Saturday to speak with my husband, and each readily agreed. After talking with one in the morning and one in the afternoon, my husband felt as I did. He wanted to use Concrete Patios Unlimited.
Leslie carefully explained to us how the work would proceed and what we could expect. He delivered in every way! Leslie was out-of-town the week before our work was scheduled, but he stayed in touch with me by phone (as other reviewers also noted). Unsure whether he would be able to back early the next Monday morning, he called me to say he was sending his trusted, long-time supervisor over to look at the job and the supervisor would be on-site with the crew. The supervisor showed up exactly when Leslie said he would, and my husband and I were impressed by his knowledge and the apparently seamless communication between him and Leslie.
Work began early Monday morning January 25th. As I walked outside to say good bye to my husband on his way to work, we were both greeted by a bevy of friendly, smiling workers. There were so many of them it reminded me of the fantastic service at a Chick-Fil-A or HEB simply because there are so many employees!! :-)
They were all wonderful, cheerful, and incredibly hard working! I didn't want to be a pest, so I waited until the afternoon to go outside and look. The concrete truck had arrived, and I had always wanted to watch one up close. Oh my gosh! The progress! The broken concrete was gone, a pile of tree roots on our front garden path stretched nearly halfway up the house (we have a one-story) and the rebar was laid. And, I have to say, the supervisor was working as hard as any of them!
The chute on the truck began disgorging its concrete slurry alternately into two wheelbarrows which were then rolled up the driveway to the starting point. I began videoing the process, as I knew my husband would have loved to have been there. It was literally a ballet of timing, skill, and experience, which was fascinating to watch. The workers were tired, but they were still smiling. I could tell they took great pride in their work.
The men, under the supervisor's instructions, poured, evened, smoothed, and massaged the surface until it looked like a warehouse floor! It was late in the day when they were done, but goodness; they were finished! Two upright rebar rods on either side of the driveway entrance, with pink tape stretched between them, guarded our wet cement. Leslie stopped by while they were "polishing" that gorgeous surface and asked me if I was pleased. I most certainly was! I gave him a check for half of the total cost, and he said the tree roots would be cleaned up on Tuesday the 26th. He would be by in the afternoon to pick up the remaining payment and be sure we were completely satisfied.
On Tuesday, two of his crew came by, removed the tree roots, replaced the lawn grass at the edge of the new concrete, tidied up the entire area and left. When Leslie stopped by, He reminded me of his instructions for "care" of the new concrete for three days. I told him every "A" review had been exactly right and that mine would be forthcoming. (It has taken me two weeks to write this, but the delay has been due to personal schedules.)
Concrete Patios Unlimited was a positive experience in every way! Leslie's company operates as a general contractor, able to perform a variety of work, and there are a number of other improvements that we would like to make over the next year or two. We feel totally comfortable with Leslie's integrity and quality of work. We will be calling him again soon!
Leslie was punctual in arriving to give me a bid. I already had one bid that seemed too high. Leslie's was more reasonable, and I figured out that the first contractor exaggerated the square footage. Leslie's square footage estimate matched mine.
His crew was courteous and hard working. One thing that impressed me was that he had a crew large enough to do the job. This job required breaking out and hauling off the old concrete, grinding and removing tree roots, and adjusting the slope of the driveway which had originally been poured too steeply. Everything went exactly as he promised, and the final result was perfect. We actually had neighbors coming over to admire the work.
I'm very careful when it comes to selecting contractors. I made an excellent choice with Leslie. I have other work that will need to be done in the future and won't hesitate to hire Concrete Patios Unlimited do to it.
Overall a great experience from the get go. Meeting and working with Leslie was a real pleasure, he is extremely professional and has a great crew. He was able to start within a week's notice which was fantastic and allowed us to have our son's birthday party outside the following week. One of his field managers came a few days earlier to assess the location and help choose the stamped concrete color to match the house brick color.
On the scheduled date Leslie came to get the work started on time, his crew was courteous and experienced, they knew exactly what they were doing, very efficient and helped relocate the sod to another part of the backyard. Sod was higher than existing patio that was being extended, so a lot of soil had to be removed. They had to come back to haul out the excess soil and they did as promised.
Concrete truck arrived around noon and the framing was already complete. They applied a significant amount or rebar, tied to the house and existing patio, very strong for a patio. The stamped concrete looks great, very well done.
We couldn't be happier with our new patio, so glad we choose to work with Leslie, highly recommended!
"Yes we had some issues,this time around because we hired 3 new worker, that have very little construction know how.However they're getting better. And for grass, it's alway going to get damage to edge next to driveway and we have to replace. When install driveway and city apron to city code, and her being low started to drag. It was install to city code, had it not it would have not pass inspection. I break it out and replace it against city code, which I can be fine and made to replace back to codes. But I replace at my own risk. The home was built in 1952 so the wood was not in best condition , so the complaint was about a 6 inch piece of that was glue to the frame. However I'm glad she's happy,"
