I'm sorry I didn't see earlier reviews for this person. His workers were competent but he failed to complete the job as requested. He had multiple chances to remedy the situation so I am leaving this review instead of stopping payment on the check.

Response from Louis Sebastian Contractor
We gave you an excellent job by your own admission to the owner, Franco Di Folco, who was there the entire time working with his crew. He went over in meticulous detail what exactly was to be completed for this job during the initial visit/estimate. After discussing in exact detail the scope of the work and confirming this with you in a walk-through, Franco submitted a proposal to you outlining each aspect of the work, and you gladly accepted this proposal and hired us. You were extremely happy with our meticulous and careful brick repair and repointing, stucco restoration, and waterproofing. You noted to Franco how great everything looked and how happy you were. You then asked about the chimney repairs and told him you thought that was included, and he kindly responded to you and said no, repairs to the entire chimney were not included as they were not listed on the proposal and we did not discuss that during the initial walk-through. Also, he explained how the chimney required complex scaffolding to be erected and would be thousands of dollars extra. He further explained that the only repair to the chimney was the one loose brick on the sloped corner that we agreed would be reinstalled. You also asked about waterproofing the chimney and he responded that we did not agree that we would waterproof the chimney. We were only there to waterproof the wall above the sliding doors because that is what we discussed in the walk-through and that is what was written on the proposal. We take offense to the notion that you claim that we left without completing work that was supposed to be completed. We would absolutely never, ever do that to a client. Franco is the second generation owner of this business, as his father started it in 1977, and it has been operating continuously for over 47 years now. We have the highest reputation around for the quality of our work and our service. We always go above and beyond on every single job to please our customers, and that is exactly what we did for you as well. Be well, thank you.

Description of Work: Removed concrete front entrance steps and remove concrete front sidewalk. Replaced front steps with ones that are much safer to navigate and replaced deteriorating front sidewalk. All debris removed. Concrete forms removed and replaced; sod replaced. Concrete work exceeded my expectations. Cleanup was also excellent. Mr. Sebastian did what he said he would do. He did it professionally, on time and for a reasonable price.

The only drawback was that we had a wait of three months. He was busy and he does only one job at a time. He doesn’t skip around so I had to wait a little longer than I really wanted to and it was well worth it. He did a very professional job. It looks beautiful. He did some changes which we were looking for. It was a big job. He was pretty responsive but it took a little wait to give the quote. They showed almost every day the same time for the job and they left they cleaned up all the mess and took the stuff with them. I would recommend them to anybody even though their price might not be the lowest but their work is good.
Description of Work: Louis Sebastian Contractor did concrete work. He did new front steps and new side wall around the house.

Seemed very knowledgeable when he came out to assess my problems and I felt his price was reasonable. Very courteous and professional and the quality was what I was hoping for and left the work area clean and gave me instructions on what to do over the first week. Would definitely recommend him.

My experience with Louis Sebastian Contractor was a great one. Unlike many other contractors that I have worked with in the past, Louis was very professional, honest, and reliable. He provided me with a fair estimate for the work that needed to be completed, and the work was done in a timely manner without the use of subcontractors. I was very happy to see that Louis was on the job every day working as well as overseeing his crew. The quality of the work is excellent, and I highly recommend Louis Sebastian Contractor to anyone looking for custom residential concrete and masonry construction. His website is a testimony to the superior quality and service that he provides to his clients.
Description of Work: Louis Sebastian Contractor created a 300 sq. ft. concrete patio for me. He completed the job in a timely manner and the quality of work is excellent. Louis used an ample amount of concrete, laid a proper base, and used quality forms in order to construct the shape of the patio. The color of the concrete is great, and he and his team did an amazing job finishing the concrete.

The work went very poorly. No base was laid prior to pouring the concrete, despite my insistence. He used old and beat up forms so the steps took on a less than square appearence. Finally, after one year the new steps also settled, slipped and pulled away from the walkway. When contacted to correct the matter he refused to stand behind his workmanship. I strongly reccommend home owners do not use his services. The first picture shows the gap that developed between the top of the steps and the walkway. The second pictures shows how my brand new sidewalk cracked where it met the bottom of the steps. I suspect the pressure of the steps against the sidewalk square, which developed as the steps slipped, was more than this square could tolerate. One final note is that Louis Sebastian is the MHIC Trade Name and the Name on the license is Luigi DiFolco. As I learned much too late this is a common way for contractors to hide a shady past. Caveat emptor.
Description of Work: Louis Sebastian (MHIC #3802) was contracted to replace the concrete steps leading up to my home. The steps he replaced had settled and slipped.

Response from Louis Sebastian Contractor
Hi [Member Name Removed] , The job we performed for you was an excellent installation of concrete steps, as seen in your photos. The "gap" you refer to is the asphalt expansion joint that was intentionally installed to allow for contraction and expansion of the new concrete against the old concrete. It does not go through the entire slab, so there is no actual void. The small crack where the sidewalk and the steps meet is simply an unavoidable stress crack that does in fact happen sometimes, because concrete does indeed crack. Perhaps the concrete walkway installed by another contractor was not thick enough at that corner, as we often see contractors putting less than the 4" required, and oftentimes the edges/corners contain 2" or less, and therefore it wasn't durable enough. The last photo shows a beautiful set of concrete steps that we installed for you, like we always do and have been for the past 45 years. My father has recently retired. When I stumbled upon this disparaging review and mentioned it to him, he did recall the job and you specifically. He recalled how a Maryland Home Improvement Commission inspector visited and stated that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the work that we performed. What bothers me the most about your review is your last comment, which is an attack on the character of my father and our business, which has been serving the Baltimore community with the best concrete and masonry work around for over 45 years & counting. Louis Sebastian Contractor is indeed the name of the business as registered with the MHIC. Luigi Di Folco is indeed my father's name. It's referred to as a DBA, or "Doing Business As" and it's completely legal, very common, and in no way "shady." My father originally had a partner named Sebastian during the first decade, so he kept the name after his partner left since he had already built up a reputation for good work with that name. What's so shady about that [Member Name Removed]? Defamatory comments are not something I will tolerate FYI. Franco Di Folco Owner Louis Sebastian Contractor
