K. West Concrete

unknown

The concrete and the sidewalk look fine. I didn't realize when he gave me the estimate that it was just to pour the concrete. He didn't finish the work around where he poured. I now have to hire someone to do the work around where he poured the concrete. I asked him if he was going to put dirt around the concrete and he told me he didn't do that. He told me that he doesn't do any landscaping and he told me to look on my estimate and I would see that landscaping wasn't included. It was in very tiny letters at the bottom of the estimate, so I felt like I got took. Now I have to get someone else to do the landscaping part of it because I'm handicapped and can't do it myself. I think he should have finished the job right. I had red bricks around the sidewalk and he told me he would put those back in. He just set them in there and didn't even finish that right. He gave me the estimate and told me he could come in and get it all done in a day. He came the 15th to tell me he would be here the 16th. He came the next day to remove the old concrete and only worked for four hours. He didn't even show up the next day at all. He finally came the next day to pour the concrete. The concrete itself looks alright, but it would have looked better if he would have done the dirt work around it. He came right away to give me the estimate. I would not use him again.

Kevin cam and escavated the garage and set it up for concrete. A day or two later theyhad the garage poured and finished it . I paid him 3500 cash and had the contract to sign and he said when they do the apron we'd take car of the contract and if I didn't mind to pay him the balance of 2000 with a check so he could have that as a record for the irs(wink wink) I said sure(wasn't my business what he claims on his taxes right?) Anyway they came back a few days later(rain and more rain) and set up the apron. Then they had the concrete poured. It looked like it was hardening awfully quick and they were working like dogs to smooth it. I asked if that was okay and he(Kevin) said it would be fine. They finished and left... He still didn't sign the contract and I still had a 2000 check for him. A few days later he came and removed the dirt he escavated and took the rest of his tools. This was while I was at work so I called him several times about signing the contract and that I had a check for him.A week went by and no answer to my calls. I started to see cracks, pitting and pot holes in the apron. I called Kevin again and he called back the next morning very mad. He started to yell at me to mail him the check. I said what about the contract and he stated that we didn't need it. I said yes we do and then he said to mail the check and contract and he would only sign it then . I asked him to come over sign the contract and I would pay him and then he could look at the problems with the concrete. He got very upset and said he would not sign the contract or look at his work until I finished paying him.So he wanted me to send a check and hope he signs the contract and send it back...yeah right. I sent him a copy of the contract with my signature and a letter that he could sign it send it back and I would mail the final payment. It even says on the contract I paid 3500 cash and owe 2000. I still haven't heard from Kevin I have e-mailed him again but don't expect any answer. Do make sure the contract is signed befor and don't take "oh we'll do that later as an answer no matter how nice they seem.I have also filed with the BBB to try and rectify the issue.
