He returned our phone call to set an appointment to determine a proposition. He arrived with his wife exhibiting several one inch square samples of quartz finishes. He also invited us to visit his current work project to view his work in-progress as a reference and provided his website address for examples of his work. During the conversation, my wife asked them where they resided. His wife was going to respond, but he cut her off and claimed he lived on Plantation division in Pharr. I missed the cut off but my wife did not, the first warning we both neglected. He emailed us a proposal of $1800 for surface preparation and re-surfacing the pool and whirlpool with a quartz finish; additional was extra, i.e. concrete repair. After considering his proposal for several days, we called Aaron to accept his proposal. On June 25th, we paid him an initial down payment of $600 with a check. Since his proposal did not state when the remaining balance was due, throughout the work project he asked for small payments that we paid in checks with one cash payment. Second warning occurred on his start date and time. After claiming to start the following day, Tuesday June 30, he failed to call to notify us with delaying starting the work. We called him on Wednesday to inquire about the delay; he apologized for not starting or calling about the delays; he would and did start our pool repair on Thursday. His unpunctuality became a continuous pattern. When his workers were ready to leave for the day, Aaron would call or knock on our back door to inform us they would return the following day between 8:00 and 8:30. Only once did they arrive with the stated arrival time. After the first few times, we never believed him with any provided time frames. The expectations eventually encompassed progress and completion targets. I was aware re-plastering a pool required removal of all plaster down to the cement; it provides a visual inspection of the concrete foundation and repair if required. Additionally, no warranties are available if old plaster is not removed for nothing will adhere to old plaster for any length of time. Aaron assured me he had a coating that would adhere to the old plaster and all cracks in the cement would be repaired by applying a bounding agent that he had. Each day, he tended to leave two workers, normally one very young adult, in his late teens or early twenties and seemingly experienced older adult. The deficiencies were evident from beginning to they day the stopped working on the pool. As work advanced, we began to notice the deficiencies in workmanship with his employees? work caused by his lack of supervision through his absence during the work day. After sweeping the pool of debris and removing most of the water jet covers (only two of five were removed in the from the whirlpool), they started pneumatic wire wheel brushing along visible cracks in the plaster for access to concrete damage and applying a sealant on the cracks. The removed plaster was placed into thin black trash bags, not the thick contractor trash bags. The bags were placed in a row parallel with our fence in the alley which looked unsightly. I moved the bags onto a pile; some of the bags broke that forced me to use a couple of my own contractor bags. I had hoped Aaron would notice the plaster on the ground, and piled ?contractor? bags, and contractor bags to motivate him to pick up and trash the plaster properly. It did not work. An additional payment was required for materials and labor for the cracks. After the cracks and holes were exposed, the top plaster layers were also wire wheeled. I asked if the wire wheel abrasions were going to be filled in. Aaron responded, ?The top quartz layer will fill in the abrasions.? On the pool floor, large swaths of plaster was removed that resembled pits. Concrete was used as the filler that was not properly finished; the concrete is uneven, looked pitted and I did not see any type of bonding agent on the concrete. The bounding agent was applied; the quartz was spread by hand onto the bonding agent and a clear topcoat on top of the quartz. I do not know if the bonding agent works on both the plaster and the concrete. Small squares of about three feet by three feet were worked on at a time for applying the quartz. The quartz application should have had the same even shades of blue. Instead, there are different shades of blue squares. Areas where cracks were treated have a darker shade of blue. Aaron also recommended having the steps and a circle around the drain a different shade of color to for better visibility stepping into the pool and debris around the drain. I thought it was a good idea and opted for a lighter shade of blue. I though he was going to apply a lighter colored quartz; instead he simply the painted the plaster on the suggested areas. Instead of removing all the jet covers, quartz was applied on the rubber covers; how are they supposed to be removed? After they left for the day, I removed the quartz from the covers. After applying the quartz, the clear topcoat was ?smeared? over the quartz. The clear topcoat should have been the final procedure to protected the quartz and provide a smooth finish, it does not. As the workers progressed from square to square, they applied uneven topcoat thicknesses. Instead of leaving the topcoat clear, additional quartz was applied to try to cover imperfections. By applying the quartz on top of the clear coat, the final finish was rough that tended to scrape the skin, cut hands and feet. When he claimed the pool was finished, I told him is not. I informed him his worker had applied a topcoat on the tile and only 50% of the pool. I could see where topcoat shined and where his worker had stopped applying the topcoat. When he arrived, I pointed it out to him and he blamed his worker. I told him he is still responsible for the work for they work for him. He said he needed to purchase from Lowe?s some type of clear coat to add to his topcoat for greater protection. He came the following day, July 18, to apply an additional topcoat himself. Still, the final product was ugly. Between the preparation and applying the quartz, a man came by the house to ask about Aaron?s work. Since the quartz application had not started, we gave the man positive feedback. I asked Aaron why the different shades of color. He claimed all the quartz was going to darken. He said to commence filling the pool after 8:00PM; instead I waited until Thursday night to start filling the pool. The pool was used Saturday, July 21st. When our adult children and grandchildren swam in the pool, several of the kids received scrapes and cuts from the finish. They complained their feet hurt. One grandchild said there were air bubbles underneath the blue paint surrounding the drain. I called Aaron on Sunday, July 21st to notify him of the problems. I informed him I had started draining the pool and would be ready for him to view on Monday. He came late in the afternoon and said he had contacted his supplier who had recommended allowing the pool to dry a couple of days and at least three days after reapplying the topcoat. Since July, 22 Aaron has not appeared and does not want to answer our phone calls. We have tried to contact him numerous times and left messages without success. He called our daughter under the impression of a proposal request. She told him we were upset he had deceived and taken advantage of us. I do not know what transpired during their conversation; howev"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/mcallen/arron-saenz-reviews-7485103.htm"},"position":10}]}

I believe they do good driveways. We got a prompt estimate from Steve. $25K. He said just call if you have any questions. I did, but it seems he couldn't do me the courtesy of returning my calls. Not good business. He lost my business.

"We hired Castillo's to remove and replace our tile floor. Throughout the process, the owner was friendly and informative. I had high hopes for this project and the company we chose. From the beginning, the workers did not show up when they were supposed to. When I asked the owner where they were, she always had an excuse. I would have preferred to have been contacted beforehand. Many things were promised that never happened. The "cleaning" crew came in at the end of the job and used our mop. The owner said it would be replaced even though I didn't mention it. This didn't happen. The workers left our house a mess - cigarette butts and tile dust were left in our front yard. Door frames, baseboards, and our jacuzzi tub were cracked. Our cabinets and baseboards were heavily scratched, our new paint was scraped off during the process, and the caps from the toilet disappeared. The owners came and looked at the damages and said that they would be repaired. They gave us a date, but of course did not show. In the meantime, we discovered a tile that was not adhered to the floor at all, and we found several places that were missing grout and bubbles started to form. One worker came out and filled in the bubbles. I showed him the loose tile, and he said he would inform the owner. After this, I never heard from them again. I texted repeatedly and sent messages through facebook but got no response, despite being promised that "we will never leave you high and dry." I should have held onto the final payment, but I didn't anticipate finding so much destruction, and I trusted this company to stick to what they promised. Aside from all the damage and mess left behind, some tiles are not even, there's still gaping holes where grout should be, and the pattern of the tile is off in many places. I would not recommend this company for a large job like this. From talking to the owner, I believe they know what they're doing, they just don't follow through."

FAQs for concrete driveway service projects in South Padre Island, TX
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
A concrete driveway lasts between 25 and 30 years, provided you maintain it correctly. Other factors that impact the lifespan of a concrete driveway include your location’s climate and the amount of wear and tear it receives. Heavier vehicles, like RVs and trucks, notoriously create more wear and tear than lighter vehicles and, therefore, might reduce the concrete driveway’s overall lifespan.
With proper maintenance, exterior concrete steps can last 25 to 50 years or more. In most cases, your steps will require some minor repairs over that time frame, including sealing surface cracks and resurfacing to keep them in good condition. Interior concrete steps should last even longer, usually between 50 and 75 years, as they don’t have to stand up to the elements.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
You may want to hire a concrete floor contractor to check out your home’s concrete surfaces or inspect your home’s foundation for minor damages that they can fix while on site. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor the same day they fix your concrete steps, as well. General concrete repair experts usually won’t be able to handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation, so you’ll need to hire a structural engineer for bigger projects.
