Scott Williams replaced our concrete driveway in June of 2014. His price was significantly lower than other bids and he seemed to know what he was doing. Within about 6 weeks a large crack developed from one end of the driveway to the other. We also discovered low spots immediately that collect water and ice. I called Scott immediately and expressed dissatisfaction. After several voice messages he finally took the call but was not helpful - some mumbo jumbo about how concrete is difficult . No help at all. Since then (3 years) additional cracks have opened up, and the seams are clearly expanding. Recently we reviewed the driveway with another pro, who pointed out numerous problems with Scott's work. DO NOT WORK WITH SCOTT WILLIAMS, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

A very bad experience. I would not deal with this company, again. He would not come when he promised or pay me the courtesy of a call. I certainly would not recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Mr. Williams poured concrete steps for me in July 2011. A large crack has developed between the steps. I noticed the crack a while ago which gradually became large. I do not know what caused it or what should be done. Neighbors have said it wasn't compacted properly before pouring the concrete. I have called Mr. Williams three times over a three week period. Each time I called he said he would come look at it. The third time he asured me he would be here in the afternoon; that he was in the area. It's obvious he will not pay me the courtesy to at least come and tell me what to do. I feel he has lied to me each time I called. I have had someone else in my area come to take care of the problem. I would never use Mr. Williams again and certainly could not recommend him to anyone. My neighbors also have a very bad opinion of him after the way he has treated me.

Mr. Williams quote on a garage footer, block work, and floor. During the initial quote I requested 6 bag footer mix along with rebar for footer. Mr. Williams was reluctant to use rebar because he wanted to pour the footer 30 inches deep by 16 inches wide. He stated that block layers would not lay block in the footer hole, which would have been about 8 inches below grade after the footer. After getting 3 quotes, all stating 6 bag mix (4000PSI) for the footer, the footer was poured andthe quote was finalized with 6 bag for the footer and 6.5 bag mix (4500PSI) for the floor and I gave him 4500 dollars. Construction began and Mr. Williams wanted to set the footer grade pins with a 4 foot box level for a 60 foot wall, 190 linear feet. I told him that was unacceptable and made him rent a transit, which he does not have, to do the job correctly. the concrete trucks came and Mr. Williams had to have the concrete truck dive in my yard, creating 4 inch divits in the yard because he did not have a a skid loader nor did he have a wheel barrel to move the concrete. He watered the concrete so much that, when poured, it traveled to three sides? footer without anyone even pushing it. He ran out of concrete half way through the footer and had to wait an hour for another truck to arrive. By then, the concrete became plastic and he placed the top rebar by hitting it in with a large hammer. He allowed the concrete to dry diagonally so much that you could stand on the first batch of concrete. He did not have a vibrator to activate the concrete against the second batch, nor did he square off the first batch. I found out from the concrete driver that Mr. Williams used 5 bag mix (3000PSI) concrete for the footer. I called Mr. Williams and asked if he purposefully purchased the wrong concrete and he became irate and acted as if I messed up. He stated that he had made a mistake on all three quotes and what he used was correct. He stated that he would not be finishing the job or returning my money and would not answer any phone calls from me. HE TOOK MY MONEY AND REFUSES TO FIX/ FINISH THE JOB/or GIVE A REFUND FOR THE SERVICES NOT RENDERED.

The finished job was good. They were longer than they had planned not because of weather. This was caused by some of their help. One of them got put in jail and the main guy has to spend all day bailing him out. That aggravated me. The price was good. I had another estimate of 40,000. They seemed a little stressed for money. He hit me up half way through for more money which was ok since the job was at that point. I had a problem with some of the employee's language. They thought they were in a bar. I talked to them about it and it improved.
