So they did finally show up today. Early. Which pisses me off because they told me they weren't going to be here until 2:30. And then they didn't fix what they were supposed to before staining. So when I called the owner he suddenly told me he couldn't fix it. I said, "No, you told my husband you could fix it, now fix it." Then he tried to tell me it would be a darker patch of concrete. I told him I didn't care. So he caved and said he'd call the crew and tell them to get some patch stuff....oh yeah, they weren't here when I got here, they had "Gone to the store to get rollers." It's now 4PM, they haven't been here since I got home at 2:30.
What I'll be interested to see is if they patch it and then restain it, because they're going to have to wait for the new concrete to dry. I have a feeling they'll be coming back...again. I still owe this guy half of his money...and he didn't even know how much I owe him. He tried to up the price of the job by $300 when he talked to Kendall. Good thing I kept the paper he wrote the estimate on. Then he didn't remember I'd already paid him half and tried to ask us for the full amount again. I reminded him that he already cashed our check. What a retard.
Oh yeah, and he's not getting paid until we're satisfied...or maybe I'll wait an extra three weeks. He made us wait that long over his initial time projection. Oh yeah, and I think he's going to have to call me for the check. It's only fair since I had to call him to get him to even come out again....

that sucks. Doesn't it feel good to vent though?
What a doofus. Sounds like they won't be in business for very long.
That sucks that he tried to swindle you guys out of more money!! He should be doing the rest for free....
Yeah, how long has he been around?
You could probably make up that you've paid him in full - it would probably take him months to figure it out, if ever.
Jeeze. What a fiasco! You should report him.
