JOE & SON'S CEMENT CO INC

I hired joes & sons cement co to pour a 36x 24 garage pad with 48" foundation . Before I hired him I asked him if he was going to use a transit level . He assured me that he will use it , well that never happen as a result the pad is over 2" off of Being level . I told him I don,t think he should pour today do to weather 94 degrees he assured it will be ok , but it wasn't the cement dried up on him he over worked it . So it looks like crap . He said that he cut the to slabs out and re do it but I didn't, want a patch job. So when we build the garage every time it would rain the garage floor would fill up with water so he came back out and saw cut the slab to drain the water .he knows he screwed it up . So he asked me want do you me to do, I said I don't know . So I told him instead of cutting try to fix it and looking like a patch job . He said he would poor a 36x13 pad next to the garage for the rv . He said he couldn't, not do it till September I said ok well that never happen the only thing he did is come over and marked were I wanted it , and Said he would be here tomorrow or the next day to do it . Know it November and still not done it to cold to pour it. I will keep you informed what happens in the spring . If he will pour it . I will change my review

Once completed, found slab not level off by 2.5 inches to one corner. He agreed his guys screwed up. I needed more concrete work to connect the new garage to the old driveway. Joe & I shook Hands on a deal. I said I would pay for materials if he would perform the labor to have a complete driveway to the garage. He promised me he would have it done in the fall. no word from him. Called him in Florida said he would do it in the spring. He never did it. He does not keep his word. Do not trust him. Very untrustworthy. SAY NO TO JOE & SONS!

Signed contract for new patio June 24, 2014. Changed mind and wanted mud jacking. Joe would not give refund. Said he already paid for permit. Joe called numerous times to schedule project, but I kept postponing. Finally, in late August, came home one Sunday and Joe had spray painted our patio with orange paint. Called him. He said ours was the next job. I had never agreed to a date at that point. Joe said paint would wash off. It did not. Called back a few days later and scheduled job for following week thinking we had paint on the patio and he paid for the permit. Later found out permit was only $45. Prior to start of work, I told Joe I would not pay him until I could see the job fixed our problem. During installation, Joe's foreman was in front of our home berating and swearing at one of the workers so loudly that my neighbor contacted me to ask what was going on. Patio completed September 5 and Joe asked for payment. Told Joe I wanted to see how it went in the rain. Joe was not happy. We had concerns about the job so we read the permit application and found we should have a base and 4 inches of concrete. We knew Joe did not put in a base and concrete appeared less than 4 inches. After several inspections city said we have to pay Joe because they cannot tell whether there is a base and how deep the concrete is. We finally cut two holes and found the patio is 2 and 3 inches. Still asking the city for another inspection. We are in litigation with Joe.

very well

They had done our neighbor's driveway two years ago, and we were impressed, so we called Joe for a quote at the start of the summer. The price was reasonable and Joe obviously cared about doing a good job, and doing exactly what we wanted. He didn't have time to do it before our July vacation, and didn't want to do it while we were gone, so we had to wait about a month before the work could be started. They did a good and careful job taking out the old cement and prepping for the new. They don't use huge trucks, so noise and traffic disruption were kept to a minimum. There was a problem with him getting cement on the day he wanted to pour; he said as they are a smaller company, they are lower in priority than some of the larger companies and they could not pour on the Friday that they had wanted. They did pour the following Monday. They did a beautiful job raking out the new cement. It looks great, and we've received many compliments from our neighbors walking by. There were a few delays; getting the work scheduled, several days when the weather was chancy and no work was done, the extra weekend without a driveway when they couldn't get the cement. It took longer overall than we had expected, but we are very satisfied with the result. Just a caution to anyone planning this work; be sure to either buy strips of sod for the side of the driveway/sidewalk, or plan on lugging around a lot of topsoil and reseeding your lawn next to the new cement. There was quite a lot of repair work to be done to the lawn afterwards; about 4and quot; wide and deep. We are still watering some sections of new grass almost two months later. We would recommend Joe and Son's, but with the stipulation that you need to get on his calendar early in the season, and expect some delays in the process.

Tried on several occasions to have him stop by my place for a quote, but I continuously am unable to get this to happen. Left messages. I even have detailed drawings to make the job quote easier. Gave up. Just too hard to make contact with.

He never showed up

All went great

Provider returned my call said he would call me by Wednesday to schedule estimate appointment. As of today he has yet to call or come by. I guess by sidewalk job wasn't big enough or he is just busy, either way he should have called and told me he wasn't interested so I would not have sat around waiting for a call.

Joe and his crew were great. The fact that I had such a small job to do, to 7'x7' sections of my driveway that the City of Dearborn said I had to replace, it was tough to find anyone who was interested. Joe did the job, and did it quickly. There was also one section of my walkway he also replaced for next to nothing. He did it because he thought the City might site me for it eventually, and since they were going to be here, might as well take care of it. Since Joe has done work in Dearborn for 30+ years, I took his word and did it, living in Dearborn for more than 10 years now I know how picky they can be. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe and his team to anyone looking to get concrete work done. They were fast, they cleaned up, and the price was more than fair.

City cited our house for repair - the porch steps needed a foundation and repair. The sidewalk was cracked and needed to be fixed or re poured. Joe's team was prompt and professional - they got the job done and I was able to get my occupancy permits for my home.

They got the job promptly and they seemed to be fairly honest. They were reliable and they cared about their service. They poured it and then it rained, they covered it and came back and checked on it. They did good work and they care about their customers. Their price was fair. I would use them again.

Second time working with Joe. Great job!!

They did a very good job which is why I picked them again for this. He has a lot of pride in his work. He did everything I asked him to do. One of his people damaged my siding, which is understandable. They got somebody to fix it right away for me. He does a very good job and is very reasonable. He is trustworthy.

THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM WAS TERRIBLE. I THOUGHT THAT THE WORKERS WERE VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP ON TIME, BUT THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
