Description of Work: Discovered 12x2 dip in the middle of the newly poured driveway. Chad tried to fix with pouring more on top and stamping a design but almost immediately after, the patch started chipping. Now it looks terrible and we have to spend additional money to fix their mistake. They screwed up the initial pour, tried to make it right, but the shortcut ended up being a disaster. I would never use or recommend this company.
I dealt primarily with Chad, and he was very responsive and easy to work with. Their original quote was a bit higher than one from another company, but Chad agreed to match the lower price and he was more responsive on the schedule. They're based in Jacksonville and my house is in St. Augustine, 45 minutes away, but despite that they did a good job. Overall, they did a great job and I would hire them again. The job did take a bit longer than I expected, but it was quite a big job so that wasn't unexpected. The crew who actually did the concrete worked their butts off all day in the hot sun, and I was impressed with their work ethic. Creteworks did a good job and I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: I hired Creteworks to pour our driveway, sidewalk and pads in a new house we're building.

I am very pleased with the concrete repair services I received. The work was completed in less than a week from the day of the estimate. The quality of the job is that of a true craftsman. The cost of the job was very reasonable, I almost felt guilty the price wasn't higher. The most important part of this experience is that the company is in the hands of a very honest and sincere owner. What he said he would do, was completed just as he said it would be. Hoping to use Creteworx in the future.
Description of Work: Replace a portion of front sidewalk Replace back door stoop .

They were fine. They showed up when they were supposed, did what they were supposed to do and went home. They were good with clean up. We had a lot of rain problems and he was very patient. He did not stop because it rained. A lot of times they go off and do another job but he stuck right with it till the very next day, continued with it as soon as it would not rain and stuff like that. Overall he was very good. Update 6/2013: The driveway was resurfaced in September 2012. In less than 9 months the stamped surface of the driveway has cracked, delaminated and is crumbling into pieces. The entire surface and/or driveway must be replaced. We are very disappointed in the outcome.
Description of Work: We used Creteworkx LLC to resurface, and do decorative stamping.

Response from CRETEWORX LLC
Unfortunately, this is a very complex situation. The driveway was 15 plus years old and the city had recently done a typical quick fix from where they had disturbed the driveway. There were structural cracks from settling and the driveway has a 40 degrease pitch. The driveway (the foundation under the overlay) is sliding down hill away from the house. The living room adjacent to the front of the driveway (car port converted to living room) has settled more the 2". This shifting caused cracks underneath the overlay. Creteworx has offered to replace the entire driveway, add appropriate aggregate, pour and stamp a completely new driveway eliminating the need for an overlay. We had over to stamp the new driveway, color and seal at no charge and demo, dispose, and install 14 cubic yards for $2900,Basically the client pays only for raw costs. All parties knew the risk going into the this and we notes to the client to call us immediately if they noticed any cracks larger than a credit card so the we could seal and prevent possibly the delaminating. Nine months later we received a phone call and it was already too late. We identified the structural cracks that were new. Nothing though will solve the problem other than replacing the substrate/concrete and take the corrective measures. It was also noted that the pool back washed was ran from the back of the house towards the front causing water problems for both her and the neighbor. The harsh water from the pool and salts contributed to this delimitation. Creteworx, LLC consulted with our Civil Engineer prior to this project and we used extra bonding techniques but with overlays like this and with a 40 degree pitch coupled with the already known settling problems; there are no guarantees. This offer is there for the homeowner if she chooses the $3300 price is far less than the market rate of $12,000.00 for a new driveway with decorative stamping and colorant; much less the demo cost alone would be $1500.00. We would like the opportunity to provide pictures and documentation to post for our future clients. One last note: the client said, "Chad, I have $5000.00 to work with if you can make it work." That's $3.85 per sf. plus we added a new walkway (that is not having any delaminating issues). Sincerely, Chad Nodine President

CRETEWORX, LLC has every intention of treating our customers respectfully and offering quality work at a competitive price. Unfortunately, out of the over 1000 satisfied customers we have served, on a rare occasiona mistakes happen. We tried our best to rectify the problem. This client previously gave us a great review (along with many other happy customers) on NETWORX.com where he found us. This project typically would have cost double the price and we learned never to quote a job site unseen. If we I had not brought in fill dirt and followed our contract to the "T", this project would have really been a tragedy. My foreman has also been terminated. I strive to communicate with my clients and be fair. If overages occur I try to split the cost with the client and have this discussion prior to making any changes. Mr. Manansalsa, happens to be a fairly nice guy, but did not honor our verbal agreement when I agreed to offer significant discount the 15 tons of fill dirt that had to be wheel burrowed 125 feet to the back of his house, which only cost him an additional $300.00 delivered & installed. His yard was trashed already when we arrived. It looked as if a tornado had landed in his back yard. Irrigation trenches and and huge sago palms had to be removed which were also not part of our contract, nor did I charge him for it. Mr. Manansalsa waited for almost 3 weeks to tell me he needed me to return and square up the slab. With in 3 days we returned on his schedule to pour the additional 11'' x 12' tapered to zero inch wedge. I recommended he wait until Saturday when we could start in the morning and allow the concrete to cure knowing we live in Florida and this is the rainy season since afternoon & evening showers are abundant. So for $2000.00 we poured almost 700 sf of concrete and installed/ plate compacted 18 yds or 15 tons of fill dirt!!! The worst part is that Mr. Manansalsa lied & said he would give me a good review, hence our agreement per the significant discount I offered As I said, we have over a 1000 happy customers and I will do what it takes to rectify any mistakes. I love concrete work and I would rather lose money than have a bad review from a customer. I learned never to play bid games via text with client and pricing a job site unseen, because we never would have taken this project with the amount of unknown variables that we discovered when we arrived to the site.

We got estimates from several firms and the company that we selected to do the work was Creteworx; Chad Nodine is the Jacksonville Florida owner (904-444-3020; chad@creteworx.com). Chad completed the work in three days and we would like to report that the work was excellent! The price was very reasonable, work was done as scheduled, the area was kept clean, workers were polite and the walkway looks great! He went beyond the basic replacement work by adding a step to reduce incline and installing a drain to avoid future puddles. We would recommend Chad and Creteworx to anyone without hesitation.
Description of Work: We had a 60' concrete walkway from our driveway to the front door that was in horrible shape. We wanted to have the old concrete walkway completely torn out and to be replaced with a new concrete walkway.
