Tecnoconcrete llc

They did a superb job and did it very quickly. Its been two years now but still we don't have any problems. They were friendly, prompt and did exactly what I asked them to do. Did an excellent and wonderful job. They were trustworthy and did not make any claims that they can't follow up on. Pricing was reasonable for the assign work. They added few details and stuff that can inprove the quality. They had to accomodate the low spot and build a step area which is very helpful.

It was everything that I expected, they are professional, quick, I had no problems and they are very polite.

To put it in a nutshell, they don’t like to finish what they started. Dick Wightman (also known as Dick Whiteman or Dick White) is the Owner, Registered Agent, and Project Manager. Felipe Gonzalez-Rubio is Dick’s cousin, a Project Manager, and partner in TecnoConcrete. I hired Tecnoconcrete for two purposes: 1) To install a new driveway with a pathway to my front porch and a small walkway from the back of driveway to my home’s back stairs. 2) Install PVC drainage connecting gutters and then drain to one central location located in the SW corner of the backyard. Then have Black Top Soil delivered and grade and level the backyard so natural rain water would also drain towards that same SW corner. This all was clearly written in the contract dated 3/18.2018. In the beginning Dick and Felipe were all about getting the sale and doing the work. They made great suggestions and handled getting the permit through the City of Atlanta (I paid them an additional $100 plus $250 for the permit). The day the concrete was poured the job looked great. I served the crew lunch and made sure they had water. I was so pleased and thanked everyone. Sounds great, right? CAUTION, READ CAREFULLY. So, at the end of that day I wrote Tecnoconcrete a check for the full amount of the concrete job, $6500. BAD MOVE. 8 days after the concrete pour no cleanup had been completed and my backyard was a collection of a bobcat, lots of concrete spillage, wood, piping and trash. And job #2 remained to be completed. Believe it or not, I never complained. I knew they were busy and I never suspected that they wouldn’t complete the jobs. So, on that 8th day Felipe did come by, but only to remove the stakes and boards (temporary support molds while concrete cures). Dick arrived later that day to help as the footings were not coming off easily. They loaded up some of the used footing boards and told me that they would be back in 4 days to complete all the work. What they didn’t say that day was that they had damaged the structural component of the new driveway. When they removed parts of the wood footings several large chunks of driveway came off leaving significant holes. 5” diameter x 3.5” deep, exposing the rebar. Instead of informing me of the damage they instead hid it with 57 gravel. The fact is they both knew then that the only way to fix that type of damage was to tear out the existing concrete driveway and replace. FYI, I won’t discover this until a week or so later when I start picking up the gravel left on my front lawn. Meanwhile, a truck load of Top Soil was delivered and dumped in my backyard. Unfortunately, what was delivered was filtered Georgia Red Clay Soil instead of the high quality Black Top Soil that was priced and agreed on in the contract. My existing soil was/is a nice, rich, darker Brown so, why would I purposely add GA clay to it? I discussed this problem with Dick and we agree on these items: A) There is a lot more replacement dirt needed to replace dirt that was removed during the demolition B) The contract and discussions prior to the final projected cost were that quality black top soil was to be added and indicated at the cost of $440 C) Tecnoconcrete would not charge me for the clay soil D) I would order and pay for a truck load of the black top soil to be delivered E) Tecnoconcrete would combine the two types of soils and complete the jobs using that mixture The next day I order the Top Soil and call Dick to let him know when it would arrive. Dick proceeded in telling me that I didn’t know what I was talking about, that Georgia Red Clay was the best and stated that there was plenty of soil to complete the job. There wasn't. There is nothing worse than being bullied by your contractor. 17 days after the work started, Dick, Felipe and two crew persons show up to finish the jobs. The attitude of both partners was terrible and intimidating. I actually had one of the crew persons come up to me and apologize for the way they treated me. Tecnoconcrete failed to remove all of the excess 57 gravel, concrete spills, old driveway debris, and replace top soil that was carelessly removed. Tecnoconcrete did not grade or level the backyard correctly to ensure water drained to the SW corner. They left a pile of dirt and 57 gravel approx... 8ft in diameter at the SW corner blocking drainage. The crew left sunken, non-graded nor leveled areas throughout. I literally cried as I handed Felipe the final check for $1750. He couldn’t have cared less. If you are wondering why I paid them anything that day I can honestly say that the manner in which Dick had spoken to me that day had really shaken me up. I figured it would be better to pay them and get them off my property rather than ******* them off. So, over the next few days I went around and took pictures of all of the debris left on my property and on the third day it rained like crazy and I took a few more photos of the failed grading and leveling job. The next day I started picking up the 57 gravel in the front and that was when I found the holes. I sent all of those photos to Tecnoconcrete so they were well informed. To this day Tecnoconcrete refuses to come back and complete the jobs and discuss the structural damage. It must also be said that Tecnoconcrete’s, Dick Wightman and Felipe Gonzalez-Rubio are by far some of the rudest men I have met. During a 3 way Text conversation after I sent the images for their review they both decided to text in Spanish knowing I do not speak this language. What was said about me was absolutely horrific. The owners of Tecnoconcrete have no shame. The majority of their reviews on Google, Thumbtack, Porch and similar sites are either fake or are reviews from company employees They know how to rig the reviews so, after this one, wait for a couple of great reviews. Clearly, they do not appreciate having bad reviews posted I do not know if I will ever get these jobs completed or repaired, all I can say is just don’t hire them.
