MARTINEZ CONCRETE RESTORATION & CONSTRUCTION INC

.Working with Mr. Martinez (.MCRC) was the worst experience of our lives. The job was to take approx. 3-4 weeks and due to weather and other jobs he contracted for they were here 1&l/2 years. The day they poured the new concrete it started cracking that night. Months later they tried to replace the cracked areas which were all over the deck and steps. The contrasting colors and main deck color did not match because of a different dye lot. Caulking cracked, and was in no way straight. When pouring concrete, it was splattered on the house, screens, windows and moldings. We kept asking them to clean it but they never did and we have no idea as to how to get all the concrete off. The steps were uneven and some of them were not up to Maryland code. The original contrast color poured was hand stamped and the next pour was done with a very large roller which in no way matched. The never sealed the driveway so no you can see the concrete stones instead of a nice even concrete driveway. We could go on with a lot more that was done wrong but I'm going to end this with the fact that we spent $24,000+ and Mr. Martinez, who by the way seemed so genuine, caring and trusting in the beginning WALKED OFF THE JOB WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. IN OTHER WORDS HE STOLE OUR MONEY AND TO REPLACE WHAT HE HAS DONE IS GOING TO BE A LOT. We live on a fixed income and had saved to have this work done so we could sell the house and move to a different area. Due to health problems and losing a job we are in quite a bind. If anyone knows where this man can be found please let us know as we can't afford lawyers. PLEASE BE AWARE HE IS A CON MAN AND VERY GOOD AT IT

Their price was extraordinarily low. They ended up lowballing the price and I kept getting other quotes because it was a pretty big expense. I ended up actually using another company that came in significantly higher but the person struck me as being very professional and very punctual. I was going to using Martinez because he seemed like a pretty standup guy. They basically ended up not calling me back for quite a few weeks. My understanding was that he went back to his home country of Portugal for some problems. I didn't get any callback or feedback. I would have been very happy to have waited because this is an investment property that is not occupied and not my main residence. He ended up calling me back wanting to do the work but there was no way that I was going to use this guy. I thought it was very unprofessional not to call me back. I would have expected some kind of call because he had agreed to do the work. It was weeks before he contacted me and I had already had the work done. He was very punctual and professional for coming to give the quote. I just had no idea it would take so long for him to get back to him. I would never use him.

The work was done in a very professional manner. The quality of the work was excellent.

Called several times and was told someone would come out to do an estimate on repairing my patio. Never heard back so called again several times before I actually talked with someone again. Was even told they had come by and completed an estimate and would e-mail everything later that evening. Never received anything. Call several times after that and no one ever returned my calls. Would not recommend. Very unprofessional!!

MCRC worked with us to come up with a design. They asked us quesitons on what our tastes were and what our likes and dislikes were. From there, together we came up with a design. The work was done from start to finish very quickly and professionally.

Very well.
