concrete repair, concrete driveways
 + 0 moreDavid and Jennifer McGowen are the owners of CCS construction. ( Later I Learned that they have gone by many different company names) After much persistence I agreed to let them be the ones to complete the job. I was given a bid that stated what they were going to do and we both agreed on it. It took them several days to come out to actually get started on the job. Sunday they came out and broke out a small section on the end then left it uncovered and did not return until Tuesday. Tuesday is when the sub-contractor came. He did a good job and when he was finished I learned that they refused to pay him. Instead of him going to them for his payment he began to hassle me for money I had already paid out. Then once I was finally able to get David and Jennifer back out to finish what the sub-contractor had started I discovered that they were going to need more money because instead of tearing out a section at a time they did the entire drive way and were not able to get the concrete truck to the back of the driveway and were going to have to rent more equipment. After breaking a few water lines, a sprinkler system and causing damage to my water connection to my house, I finally said just complete the driveway. They told me that they had someone here to fix the plumbing; I was going to allow him to do so until i found out that he was a pool repair guy and not a licensed plumber. I finally said that this was not part of the contract and I explained to them once more that I was upset and we needed to get this done as per our agreement. This caused Jennifer (with much profanity) to say she was not going to finish the job and that she was going to pull up what had been done already and take it with her. The men she had hired for that day were not cooperating with her. After some debate and the police were involved she was finally asked to leave the property only taking what belonged to her (tools). This is what happened overall and as you can imagine so many more little things added up to them no longer finishing the job. To this date I still am dealing with the recoil of them not paying of any sub-contracter or supply company they used. They are requesting me to pay them what David and Jennifer owe. I never meet one of the men who said he did work at my home for 3800.00.Im not sure but but understand have other names that they use Houston Concrete Guy<CCS Concrete--- McGowen is the last name.
Description of Work: They were supposed to replace our driveway. (3000 sq ft) including break out.The 6,125.00 was half and 6,125.00 when they pored the concrete.They did hire someone to do the tear out. The subcontracter that did the work did complete is well but was not dependable when it came to showing up.

 + -1 moreDO NOT USE THIS GUY UNLESS YOU ARE READY FOR A FIGHT IN COURT AS TO WHERE I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. I hired this company to review his work this is what they had to say: by keytec home development 02/05/2010 I was hired to check this guys work at pella Dr. this was one of the worst job I have seen in a years. used wrong rebar size ( smaller) and pourd only 2 inches as to 4 inches, that's why it cracked in two weeks, throw your money out it is less headache
Description of Work: McGowen Construction, McGowen Concrete Works, McGowen Patterned Concrete, Houston Concrete Guy, Concrete Works and The Concrete Works Site WHAT EVER NAME HE MAY BE GOING BY THIS WEEK! He has changed his name 6 times in the past year! My advice for any one out there before you hire this guy check him out on the BBB he is rated an "F".. He does lousy work and will not stand behind it. I have a $10000.00 judgement against him right now. If you need proof contact either Harris County Clerk's office or Montgomery County Clerk's office.

 + -1 moreDavid was very friendly and seemed very knowledgeable. Came out within hours of call to give bid ($2,000). I did not go with David for a few reasons. He was priced very well, but his bid of $1800 did not include removal of dug out dirt or the removal of a stump. Quoted cost of $400 to remove a stump. Also, did not communicate any concern over the drainage, even though other contractors raised significant concern regarding the drainage in the yard on the design on wanted. Some of the techniques he was going to use for construction seemed a little substandard, ie. use mesh instead of rebar. Ended up going with a contractor from Angie's list. I really liked David, but the fact he did not have feedback on Angie's List and had an unresolved compaint on the BBB caused me to go with a different contractor, who had a positive record with the BBB, was on Angie's List, but was slightly more expensive.
Description of Work: Extension to patio, approx 300 sq. ft.
