We were contacted by KAR Construction on Wednesday, 8/6/14.  We were told that he would be coming "this week" to fix the crack in the walkway.  As of today, Friday 8/8/14, this has not been done.  We also don't accept this response as he is not addressing the extreme damage to our lawn, which is going to cost us over $900, to fix or the damage to our car.  The damage to the hood of the car happened because we were told it was necessary to open the garage door for them.  Some wet cement flew up on the hood.  One of the employees took it upon himself to go in the garage with a rag and wipe it off.  When you wipe something containing grit with a rag, it causes scratches.  If we would have taken care of it, we would have hosed it off with water.  We would have never rubbed it with a rag.   We saw the employee come out of the garage with the rag in his hand  because we were back on our patio when he came out of the access door of the garage.  He told us he was cleaning off our lawnmower.  There was nothing on the lawnmower, just the car.

Review: We had an existing driveway removed and redone. Within the first week there is a crack already in the walkway from the house to the drive. When brought to the attention of the owner his resolution to the problem was to spread a handful of some dust into the crack which did nothing. When we brought the devastation of our lawn to his attention he said that all we had to do was "roll it back". Well, there is no way the average person or group of persons could do this. We have had to contact businesses to do this for us. The quotes we received were $970 and $1200. The quote we received from the person KAR construction suggested was the highest at over $1300. This is going to involve replacing five feet of our lawn on both sides of the driveway.

We knew there would be some repair to do on our part based on what we have seen with the same work in our neighborhood. All of those owners did it by themselves. This is over and above. A couple hours after making the report we found a scratch to our car where one of the employees tried to wipe off some slurry from the hood of our car. We have pictures.Desired Settlement: Repair of crack in walkway and cover the cost of repairs to lawn.

1. in regards to a crack , kar construction is willing to look at the crack and take care of asap.

Don’t bother trawling though any more reviews. If you hire KAR Construction you won’t be disappointed. Being a very fussy customer I did a great deal of research into tradesmen for our new drive walk and patio. After speaking to KAR construction (my 8th quote) I knew I had found our contractor. They were reliable, efficient and cost-effective. KAR Construction and team did a great job.
I am very pleased with the whole experience no hesitation in recommending them.

KAR Construction replaced my concrete driveway last Fall. Cracks started to appear in early Spring. I called KAR several times and asked for a resolution. I was told "concrete has a mind of its own", so I should just accept the cracks. There are four (4) areas that are cracked. I would never suggest anyone use this contractor.

Project: Install Concrete Driveway, Patios, Walks and Steps
Comments: KAR Construction handled my project very professionally. They did high quality work, started the project on the day they scheduled and finished ahead of schedule. They did their best to leave the job site clean each day and beyond what I expected. They used quality material and quality workers. Although they we're not the lowest bid I received. I believe I definitely got my money’s worth. Very pleased, I would not hesitate to recommend them to family, friends anyone needing concrete work. Thank you

I just got off the phone with who I thought throughout our dealings was an owner. Keith from phone number [redacted] told me he just works there. Hmm. I had a concrete driveway and garage floor replaced by KAR Construction in September 2013. I paid them $11,150 in full when the work was completed. I was already above the quoted amount of $10,425. He wanted an additional $400 per yard to remove dirt from my front yard and back yard that was not part of the original proposal. I turned KAR down. I had my landscaper haul it away. He warned me about not using salt on virgin concrete, and for 3 years I stayed away from all de-icers. I had to Keith in early spring of 2014 to replace sections of concrete that was already breaking apart. KAR replaced a few sections in June 2014. By the end of Fall 2014 more concrete was showing faults. After several phone calls I texted Keith on July 13, 2015, to stop by and plan to replace the remaining faulty concrete. After agreeing to stop, nothing happened until April 2016. I had him stop by and all he could do is agree that it should not have failed. He was to arrange a representative from Gleason Ready Mix to stop by and talk to Keith and me. This never happened. After getting off the phone today May 25, 2016, all he do tell me is that all he could do now is write another estimate, and the cost will be passed on to me. His boss 'Tresa' and his salesman also named 'Keith' can't do anything about the cost. After giving Keith [redacted] enough time to run out of excuses, such as a sick family member in 2014, and stolen construction equipment in 2015. I can no longer hold back. I would like to tell you to stay away from KAR Construction but they need the income to replace the faulty concrete driveway at my home.

Our walk patio and driveway was an excellent value compared to others we looked at. i'am very satisfied with the overall experience and I would enthusiastically recommend KAR Construction to my friends and family.
again thank you [redacted]
