Concrete driveway nightmare

Driveway done in Oct. 2021.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
Thought we were smart, read the reviews, got various quotes, educated ourselves...or so we thought. Then you pay the deposit. Then it's the start of longer periods of time before the owner gets back to you, or people even show up to do the job.
We have an old sloped property, below sidewalk level where driveway is. Expected it to be tricky...he made us believe he was more than competent. We agreed drain was needed and that it would be on edge of driveway in grass with concrete sloped to drive water to it. This way my husband could repair drain if ever necessary. Owner arbitrarily changed where drain went without ANY consultation with us and set it in the concrete. His fix...cut out part on concrete...never offered to move drain back to where it should have been and rpoor concrete. So now we have huge chunk cut out. He was always late, or never showed up on time. Was really bad when sealing the driveway...so late he was doing the last rinse off with a pressure washer at 2 AM! Thank god for good neighbors who did not complain. We certainly did not sleep that night! And he missed sealing part of driveway near garage! To top ot all off...garbage and huge chuncks of concrete and such left. Had to nag him to come clean. We feel he only did a minimal clean up. Driveway done in Oct 2021, then during fall in March 2022...HUGE SPIDERWEB CRACKS THROUGH HALF THE DRIVEWAY!!! Emailed him. He responded that day, assuring me he would take care of it. Never heard from him again. 2 more emails in April with no response. Have included screenshots of these emails to show proof of contact. Hopefully someone will be saved some money!! Because I certainly wish I had been saved spending just under 20K for this!
