Lets start at beginning. April 2nd, 2021 AJ gives us quote for sidewalk, driveway, patio(stamped), approach, back step. Also said basement window may need window well. Then called us daily to see if we had questions and if we would go with him. Unfortunately we finally said yes. Which he said thank you we appreciate your business. And we gave him deposit and quite believed in him to do quality work! Old concrete removed July 5th, went really good. Then patio and front sidewalk done it was coloured concrete and the patio was stamped. After that driveway and back step were poured couple days later things started to happen...... Front walkway had a hole with grass coming up inside it (picture attached)and patio has a basement window touching it. When AJ came on July 5th to do markings and measurements he said that window will not need window well. Hooray.......we thought but...the concrete slopes to window (which we talked about a lot as weve had problems before with water running to house) so water sits there for hours. I called AJ as soon as we seen these problems. We were quite happy he came right over. He said Ill have to go all the way to Lafarge to get coloured concrete and patch walkway. Then talked about window well and he says lets see what happens, what that means we dont know. This was 7 weeks ago and still havent heard from him. Also sent him pictures of both these areas. Then driveway is poured......we have flaking, and where driveway meets walkway is very ruff. The driveway has sunk or sidewalk lifted because now we have an edge (tripping hazard) A wood frame was made for back step, nailed to house. When removed it left a indent in concrete, AJ said he has some patch stuff to fix that(which he did).......well now it looks horrible and have this stuff on the other concrete too. AJ said it would come off......well it doesnt. Also they couldnt get nails out of house stucco so they just cut heads off and left nails there. Also when the stress cuts were done the first red caulk marking was wrong so they did it again, well I have been trying to remove that red line for 6 weeks and cant remove. So I have a new driveway with a red line down the whole thing. Would like to seal driveway and sidewalk but need things fixed first. The worse part of this whole thing is.......he doesnt return your calls. I have phoned, texted, emailed and nothing. So I thought I should do like him and call daily (like he did to us in April) so now he has blocked my number. Now when I call goes right to voicemail that he doesnt respond too. Ive had two different people call him and he answered because he didnt recognize the number......so how rude it that!!!!!! It took me awhile to write this review and I was just hoping he would call and address issues, I was still trying to believe in him! I dont enjoy having to write this kinda review, but after 7 weeks something has to be done. His crew seemed very nice and worked well together. But...... NEWS after 14 months AJ finally came over to see all the mess! Happy to see him but.....the hole in sidewalk stays, because he says sometimes this happens. Then the sidewalk meeting the driveway where you can see how poorly concrete looks in pictures stays. He didnt really have comment. My back step that is usually a conversation piece when someone comes over also will stay like that. Yuck! Now for water running towards house....What he did was make cut lines go right to foundation, one closes to window also made it deeper. Havent had much rain since cuts were extended, see what spring does. Also said if that doesnt work we could maybe put in widow well (was to be done before concrete was poured) so now I may have to break up my new concrete to put in widow well. I have a really lot of cracks all over driveway (yes I know small cracks are normal) but I have a lot and some the concrete has chipped out so now I have holes water sits in. Stress cuts are made to help with this cracking from not happening as much, didnt work. Again happy AJ came, but should have been done 1 year ago. Services: Concrete work, Driveway installation
