I hired Tom from Pathways concrete to install a patio.  He wanted 1/2 down which I was my first big mistake.  He cashed my check the next day and then disappeared for 3 weeks.  When he finally got on site he did a terrible job.  He did not measure the steps properly and they turned out crooked, He did not level the concrete and pitch is not the same from the front to back.  He was suppose to make it kidney shape and instead made some kind of nasty zig zag design. I could not be more disappointed with work performed by this contractor.   Please don't get taken by this company.  You will live to regrete it like I do.

Customer Rebutal

AUTHOR: Unhappy Customer - ()

POSTED: Thursday, August 29, 2013

The company says they were paid in full which is true. However, the reason they were paid in full is they asked for $2000 up front which covered the labor.  On the day of the installation I had to pay the concrete company for the cement which was the rest.  So I had not choice but to pay the full amount.  Tom the owner arranged it like or he would never get a pay check.

The company also said that they were working with the customer and that the job was done per the specifications.  Both of these comments are not true.  He has not contacted me to work things out.  Also the specs never called for a pitch that is unlevel, a zig zag shape or a crooked step.  This is just terrible workmanship and I don't want anyone else to get burned by a contractor that does not do things the proper way. 

At this point my patio is a disaster and the only way to fix it is to rip it out and start over.  I certainly will not let Tom (Pathways Cconcrete) andywhere near this since he could not do it right the first time. 

Please if save yourself the hassle and don't hire them.
