Christman & Sons Concrete LLC

Got their job done by the pool company. They were try to use my neighbor back yard, before they were pouring the concrete my neighbors warn them not drive the concrete truck to their backyard and their new foundation but they did, they really don’t care, they made the new foundation crack. My neighbor keep complaining me and them about the issue but they give the an altitude at that time i have to said sorry to my neighbor so many time. They are good at done the job and make you pay extra to fix. PLEASE DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR JOB OR THEY WILL MAKE PROBLEMS AND LEAVE YOU FOR IT

His crew while clearing for my driveway pryed open my garage door with their bobcat. He did not claim any responsibility and in fact said somebody tried to break in. The 1/4" steel bar that attaches to the chain and door release was bent at 45 degree angle. A human isn't doing this kind of damage. Beware do not use.

We received and approved an estimate for a window-pane concrete driveway. We also requested a drainage pipe underneath the driveway. Crew was prompt, appeared to work hard, and laid the concrete, but it was not window-paned as specified. A month later we found that the drainage pipe was not actually installed -- the crew put a 1-foot length of pipe on each side of the driveway to make it appear that they had done so. This was deliberately deceptive and misleading. Do not use these crooks.

It cracked and we had to pay for him to replace it. He said it was our fault. Then it cracked again. He said he would only fix a small section and charge us X amount of dollars for that. The whole original patio that has got the overlay on it, is all cracking. We've had other concrete people come out. They said that he didn't prep it underneath. So now my whole patio is cracked. I told him I was going to report him to the Better Business Bureau and he says, "Do what you need to do." So now we have to pay $3000 to have that part done again. The original patio that he did the overlay on is all cracking. You walk on it and it's just shattering. He would only replace a little square for $350. My husband told him that the whole thing is cracking and he says, "Well, it's not my fault. It's your fault because you had a rug out there."

Contractor was given specific details on holes that were to be placed in the concrete decking surrounding the pool to accommodate a basketball goal and volleyball netting. They forgot to place the holes. Mike stated that they did not place the holes because I wasn't there to show them where. I suggested using the phone and asking me instead of just not doing the job. Mike, the owner stated they would be out in 1 week to drill the holes. (That was in August) In that weeks time, 2 cracks formed in the concrete that they had poured. Mike was notified and said he would be out to look at it. He did not show and we received no call. Mike said he would be here on Oct 27th to take a look at it and remedy the situation. He never showed. I called him again to find out what was going on and he said he would have someone out on Oct 31st to drill holes and patch concrete. I am sitting here in my house waiting for someone to show as they are currently 30 minutes late. The worst communication and service I have seen.

After I agreed to the itemized written estimate, was told that one item/job would cost $600 more. The job was booked late April, to be done the second week of May. It is still not finished. They still have not been out to trim up caulk/ even out and "tidy up" job as promised, as of 07/07/2014 Work looks very sloppy-- either not enough caulk was used and it did not spread in areas, leaving cracks with sand coming out, or too much was used and it spread into a sloppy looking blob. The concrete patio area is now two-toned because of uneven sealing. There are footsteps stained into the pool deck of where someone walked with extra sealer- or something- on the bottom of his shoes. JR said the caulk would be trimmed where it spread-- that did not happened. Mike told me numerous times he would be out to finish up. I took off work to wait for him so that I could be there. Each time he never showed up or bothered to call. Now my telephone calls and e-mails go unanswered

Went well. Once they arrived they stayed on the job until it was finished.

Before we decided to use them we were provided with several references. We visited one that was nearby and that was also the seamless texture stamped concrete like what we wanted. It was great that we did because it helped us finalize the colors, both for the base color and darker release agent. Once they started, the project went very well. No surprises. The crew that poured the concrete was very efficient. They finished the grading, prepped the patio area with rebar in time for when the concrete arrived. They had the whole patio poured in just over an hour. They came back and did the stamping which turned out better than we ever imagined. The following day they came back to power wash the release agent. The 3rd day they came back and sealed the concrete. They showed up when they said they would and the job was delivered exactly as promised. The price was reasonable compared to other bids, but of course we would have preferred it to be less because the first contractor abandoned the project (see report on Hassler). All in all, we were very impressed with Mike Christman and his team's work and we are very happy with the end result. We would highly recommend them to our friends.
