Thurber Excavating And Concrete

.

Ionly talked to them over the telephone and when they stopped by to give the estimate. Both contacts were very professional. They arrived right on time for the estimate and understood the work we wanted to have complete.

Following estimate it took several calls to get started. Dirt was moved from the wrong portion of the property. After it settled, there were two man-sized holes over 6-feet deep. After 6 years, little maintenance has been required.

There are several issues I have with Thurber Excavating and Concrete. First of all he quoted me a price which I accepted (My mistake for not getting it in writing) and when job was done he said he quoted me $6300 when in fact he said it would be $6000 to pour a new driveway. I am now dealing with a crack right down the middle from the end of the driveway all the way back to my garage( and I have a very long driveway). I have been told by a reputable concrete compnay that this is because he did not put a seam every 10 feet to reduce stress. In addition, rather than butting the concrete up to the the street at the end of the driveway he "floated" the concrete out into the street leaving a very thin layer which over time has broken and chipped to where it is all jagged and looks like a cliff face. And lastly I have large pock marks all over the driveway where he smoothed it for too long and brought all the cream to the surface and over time has also started to chip. I called Andrew Thurber who is the owner of the company and it took him a week to come look at the issue and he then called me and said there was nothing he could do for me and that all concrete cracks and lots of other driveways on my street have been "floated" out as well....I have checked literally hundreds in town and have not seen one done like mine. I have taken steps to correct the "floating" issue but there is not much I can do about the crack and pock marks without tearing up and repouring the driveway. If you need any concrete work stay away from Thurber Excavating and Concrete!!
