concrete driveways
  + -1 more
The tear out of the existing driveway and the pour of the new concrete went fine. The finishing of the driveway was very poorly done and looks absolutely terrible. The concrete was cut too soon. It had not set sufficiently at the time that the service provider returned to cut the expansion joints. Also, the wrong saw was used for the cutting. These issues caused significant chipping and left black tire marks from the saw all over the new concrete that do not come off. While sealing the driveway, concrete sealer was also splashed all over the siding on my home. I immediately contacted the company with these issues. The issues I raised were ignored until after I sent a formal letter. Following that. the concrete sealer was ultimately cleaned off. I also received argument and attitude from the service provider when I requested that I be provided with lien waivers for the concrete company. Ultimately it was agreed that the requested lien waivers would be provided and we had reached what I thought was an agreement on a discounted balance due because of the problems. When I tried to make payment of the discounted balance, the company refused to accept payment unless I was willing to sign off on any future claims for this driveway, which I was not willing to do. I would NEVER use this company again.
Description of Work: Hired for tear out and installation of a new driveway and sidewalk at my home.

Response from Jim Weber General Contracting, Inc.
[member name removed] is impossible to please. He proudly told myself and the men working for me how he has sued several contractors that have worked on his house. He is a man that will try to get everything for free, by any means necessary. NEVER do any work for this child. [member name removed] raised 3 issues with the service I gave him. 1st, he complained that the broom finish was too heavy. He did this after he specifically asked me for a heavy broom to avoid slipping in the winter on his moderately steep driveway. He also stood by and watched as I put the broom finish on the concrete (a time when he could have asked for it to be redone, yet he waited until it was hard. Therefore he could complain as ask for a discount). The 2nd issue he raised was with the control joints that are cut into his sidewalk. [member name removed] asked for his driveway to be "saw cut" instead of "tool cut". This is perfectly normal and we frequently do this. [member name removed]issue with the cuts (as described in his comments) is that there is chipping and marks from the wheels of the saw. This is true, however extremely exaggerated by [member name removed]. He claims (with his endless expertise in the matter) that the wrong saw was used, as well as it was cut too early, and that those are the reasons for the chipping and tire marks. He is partially right about this. The correct saw was used, [member name removed] has never seen a saw like this as most people haven't, it is something most concrete contractors do not own as they are expensive and are only to be used on "green" (not cured) concrete. This saw is specifically designed for what I used it for on [member name removed] job. The concrete was also technically not cut too early, as it was cut within the times suggested by the A.C.I. (American Concrete Institute), with the saw suggested by the A.C.I. So that is how [member name removed] is incorrect, in his statement. Here is how he is partially correct. There was some chipping and marks (not black marks from tires as he says). Even though all things were performed as they should have been the concrete didn't react as it should have. Concrete is not an exact science, if at the mixing plant there is more or less of any ingredient than there is supposed to be it does change set times. This is the reason for the imperfections. As I explained to [member name removed] the marks will fad in a years time with a snow shovel wearing on the concrete finish. The chips will remain, but I suggested that I could caulk them which is common. This was going to be the course of action until [member name removed] continued to agree upon a price and then refuse to pay when I came to collect a check (more on this later). The 3rd issue [member name removed] raised was with the concrete sealer being sprayed on his siding. This is true, I apologized for it when he brought it to my attention. I said I would remove it when I could. When two weeks went by [member name removed] sent a letter. I removed it no more than a couple of days later. I had every intention of removing the sealer (which wiped off with a little gasoline on a rag, as it is petroleum based), our entire crew was in southern MN and I simply couldn't get someone there at the time [member name removed] wanted. This was just another thing that [member name removed] could pick apart to get a discount. He knew the sealer would come off with ease, he originally never asked me to remove it, but instead asked for a discount for it. Once removed he was supposed to give me a check, this did not take place. END OF STORY. I sued [member name removed] and finally got paid TODAY more than 5 months later.
