I am responding to the complaint about the color of the basement floor. I personally put the color in the cement trucks when they arrived on the job as I always do for people when they want something...
colored. So I know that the color was added! Yes, Stelter Concrete, Inc. does charge to wash the trucks after putting the color in the barrel, so it doesn’t affect the next load of concrete. The Kohl’s were aware of this charge.
When my crew left the job, the client, [redacted] Kohls, replied to me how “great” and “wonderful” the floor looked and it did. The floor was colored tan and black swirl. The floor was clean.
After I left the job the sheetrock people, carpenters, electricians, plumbers were on the concrete floor, doing their work. I do not know if they covered the floor and I will assume that they did not and this is how the floor got so dirty. The color does tend to fade over time (I have no control over this – and the Kohl’s were aware of this) , but not in six months, usually takes many years and that is when it is outside in the elements.
I stopped 3 times between March and July to look at it, and no one was home.
Not sure if the extensive cleaning (I don’t know if she used any chemicals or what exactly she cleaned it with) had any affect on the color. I feel it is not my fault that the floor got dirty. When I left the job, the concrete color looked the way it should have and they praised me for the work.
The cost of the color was $200.00 and trucks cleaning was $100.00, so a total of $300.00 which was discussed with the clients before the job, so they were aware of the charges before I did the job.
