Review: Kazlowski Construction was hired to replace two (2) garage floors, two (2) driveways, a side walk, stoop and tuckpointing. He charged extra for the tuckpointing (more than the quote), and 1 garage floor because he claimed it was thicker than normal. The other garage floor cracked in 10 days and the stoop has has concrete chipping off. One of the driveway's approach is cracked by the concrete truck because the area was not covered. I had a credit coming for work that I decided not to do, but it was not applied because he said that one garage floor was thicker than normal.Desired Settlement: I am looking for repair to the chipping stoop.

The concrete on the approachcracked 4 inches away from the control joint. No contractor or engineer canexplain why concrete cracks. We will try to correct this problem of the stoopin Spring when the weather permits but, again, we will not guarantee it becauseof chemicals & salt used on the stoop. We as contractors apply the materials& do the finishing of the product but we cannot be responsible for materialfailures. The best concrete was used on this job, 6 bag low churt. This meansthat it could spaid.[redacted]
