ERNIE SMITH QUALITY CONSTR

I was at work when this was taking place, and when I came home at one point, I saw that part of the concrete didn't look as nice as the rest. It was a very hot day and there was one low spot that they used excess concrete dumped in the alley, according to my husband. So one section does not look nice like the others do, but supposedly the strength is there. I would like it all to look the same. My biggest complaint was that concrete spatters are on my garage siding, my rain barrels, my house siding, etc. According to another contractor who was here recently on a different job, the concrete guy he uses puts up plastic to protect surfaces from spatters. We did not know that this should be done. Also he said the concrete spatters need to be cleaned off within 24 hours. Again, we didn't know, so we are stuck with hundreds of concrete spatter drops. Ernie Smith was a very likable person, as were his workers. He told us addresses that we could view to see work he had already done. He expected no money up front and so payment was done on completion. I have no idea about the pricing as to whether it was good or bad, because it was so hard to get anyone reliable here to give us an estimate. Now that we know better, I would definitely request something to be used to protect surroundings from spatters.
