He gave an estimate of $2200, I accepted the job and gave him a $500 down payment via check. After he came back he said it was going to be around $4700. I declined the project due to the cost doubling, which seemed extreme. He told me to read the contract and that he was keeping my down payment. I read the contract and saw he said he would match/beat any other companies pricing. I presented him with two other quotes given from companies and he declined to match these prices.
Description of Work: He did nothing, he went back on his word and took my money.

Until today, September 9, 2012, it went very well. Until today, I thought the quality of the work was good. But today I feel differently. Again, I will happily write a positive report if and when Frank shows up.
Description of Work: Poblete did an "area" of our driveway 14 months ago. Today I noticed a "problem" and called Frank about it, asking him to come out and take a look at it as it is a strange phenomenon -- some kind of blue/gray spongy material has "pushed through" approximately a 7'x2' area. Frank said he didn't know what it was, and pointed out that he only guarantees for one year. (Mea culpa, it's 14 months now). He really doesn't want to come look at it, probably because we had another company do the remainder of the garage. He said he would come out when he's in the neighborhood, but doesn't know when that will be. If Frank does come out and diagnose the problem, I will gladly write a positive report about Poblete Cement!
