He finished in 3 days hand the job was good enough to meet the needs of my incoming tenant. Water had been damaging the floor under the toilet in the bathroom for a long time and he pulled up the floor and sleeper rafters over the concrete sub-floor and replaced them, with new treated wood. He then put down Alerian laminate from Home Depot. The plywood floor was fitted very well and the laminate was well installed in the field areas. The edges were very tricky to conceal and I did not insist on moldings being fitted in all places it was necessary. It appeared they had done as much as they had estimated and were anxious to get away from the job and be paid. I was able to finish the final details to get the job ready to paint.

His office is on Capitol Hill and I took that into consideration as well. I called John Himchak the owner and he swung by because he was doing a job literally around the corner from us. John looks like a concrete guy, big guy with massive arms and shoulders and he really knows concrete. My brother who lives in Montana does lots of work with concrete and had given me a list of things to look for. John filled out the work order and every single item my brother mentioned was on the work order. And he also has a 25 year guarantee on his work. Then we come to today. John mentioned his crew led by Jose would be around between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. They showed up at 7:45 AM and the four guys in the crew worked nonstop. First they cleaned out all of the debris, the old slab that was only part of the area they were going to pour and lots of weeds and a massive tree stump. They even took out an enormous piece of concrete that was protruding into our yard. Jose even suggested a step down to our sidewalk as part of the pour. After they cleaned up the mess they brought in four inches of gravel, then put in wire mesh and rebar. When the cement guy came at 11:00 AM they were ready for him. By 3:30 they had cut the wet concrete and applied the broom finish. And to top it all they left the work area very, very clean and put up a yellow caution tape so people won't run over the concrete as it dries. If you want to have concrete work done don't look any further than JHI Contracting. John, Jose and their crew are great!!!!!

M&F was also willing to use colored concrete, as I had originally expressed an interest in adding color. We had to wait longer than we wanted to -- it seems that the company has a lot of municipal contracts. But we were willing to be flexible, because the price was very, very good and the company had great reviews on Angie's List. The end result is terrific. Driveway looks great, and the owner, Filipe, was here to oversee the installation personally. He was very careful about measuring the space, called me out a few times to make sure it was as I wanted, and worked gingerly around my neighbor's plants. I highly recommend M&F.

Disappointing. It took three months, and constant email requests, for the work to be done. When it was done the first time, they did not call or advise they were coming, and the work itself was very shoddy; unfinished sections, rough uneven sections, discolorations and a mess for my tenants...

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts
It’s important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of epoxy garage floor coatings. Consider the following pros and cons of this garage addition, including the following:
Pros:
Increased visibility
Durability
Long lifespan
Low maintenance
Versatile appearance
More sustainable
Cons:
Strong odor when applying
Difficult to remove
Can be slippery
Possible bubbles and blisters
Temperature sensitive while curing
You can concrete can be done when it’s wet or dry. However, it’s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you’ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you’ll need to be more careful.
It costs between $600 and $8,400 to stain an average-size concrete patio of around 300 square feet. The wide price range accounts for intricate stains that incorporate multiple colors and stenciling, high-end sealers, and special touches, such as stamping or concrete polishing. Prices can also vary if you need to make multiple repairs to your patio before adding the stain and seal.
Unlike staining concrete, painting concrete often results in chips and peeling over time. You can expect numerous touchups over the years if the concrete is in a high-traffic area. Since concrete paints are opaque, you may also find it more difficult to get the exact color results you want. Lastly, painting concrete can make it much more slippery unless you mix in an additive for traction.
Factors like the time of day you choose to seal the concrete, temperature, humidity, and airflow will impact drying time. To shorten the drying time, seal concrete in the late afternoon on a day with a temperature between 45 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
