I contracted Joe from Stamp Concrete to build my patio. I will start by saying the did good work. Not excellent, but good. He did put a stamped compass into our patio which we did not talk about, and at first I was unsure but it does turn heads.
He was however the best quoted price, half the price of Elite Concrete. However he told me he would have the project completed before our wedding and he was a month and a half late. Every time he would say he was coming to work on it he did not. It was only when I would call him from "private number" would he answer his phone.
This could be that he was hoping to get new customers while making the ones who have signed an agreement wait. After a summer with no patio, and weeks of phoning him to bug him, he would send a couple guys over and they would work for a couple hours. He told me it would take 5 guys two days maximum. He did not accuratley match the color of the brick on the house which he said he would do, and I have not seen the patio through a winter yet but other than that they did a good job.
A couple of spots where more care and detail could have been used but concrete is difficult to work with and I understand this. Overall I think the appearance of his workers could be better (smoking and lounging around while another one works and then switch).
Be mindful you could wait for your job to be complete past its due date if you don't hassle him. Other than that for the price it was good.
