B R F Seal Coating

I had to have a commercial space, which had an uneven concrete floor, skimmed to create a smooth…read moresurface for flooring that is to be installed on top. The owner of this concrete company (Ryan) was quick to respond and provide an estimate, and he guaranteed that I would love the end result. He spent one day chipping and cleaning the area, and the next day pouring the concrete (side note- I understand that it's legal, but it was very unsettling that he showed up on the second day wreaking of weed. Perhaps he didn't think I would notice or maybe he just didn't care, but it raised an eyebrow as he was there to do a professional job). According to him, the truck that he had arranged to come and pour, had concrete with some sort of stones mixed in that he did not plan on. So he spent time plucking stones out. I'm not sure why he didn't just contact the company he arranged the truck with and get the right material delivered (I was not aware of any of this until after the fact). By the end of that day, the floor looked beautiful, as it was still wet, and I paid promptly. Within a few days, there were cracks throughout. By the two week mark, the floor was so badly cracked that it was lifting EVERYWHERE and hollow underneath all of these areas. I immediately contacted him to come and correct this problem. He arrived a few days later. He did not pull up areas that were cracked and starting to crumble (these areas literally moved under our feet), he just poured concrete over them. Before it was even dried, the cracks were coming through. I asked him if he used a bonding agent as my contractor stated it did not look as if any was used. And the owner stated that he 'never really thought a bonding agent worked that good anyways'. Over the next few days, I had two flooring professionals and three contractors at the location, all telling me that the entire floor had to be chipped up and redone as it was already coming apart and would not withstand flooring being put on top of it. Additionally, every single one of them states that a bonding agent was clearly not used. It would be one thing if there were a few cracks here or there, but literally, the entire floor is pulling up and cracking, showing that there weren't just a few spots missed. There was just no bonding agent applied to begin with. Another mystery that the flooring specialists as well as the contractors couldn't quite put their finger on, was that no one could really confirm what material was actually used. Though I was told this job would be done with a self-leveling concrete, they do not feel this was the case. They honestly couldn't tell if it was mortar or stucco or whatever might've been left over in the truck. But it did not have the finish or coloring that it should've. I contacted the owner yet again and told him all of this, and that I wanted and deserved a refund as he did not provide the service he guaranteed. However, this time he did not respond. Some cracking here and there over years of use is to be expected, but the entire floor is in worse condition than before he did anything to it. A refund is absolutely necessary as I cannot salvage any of this and I have to pay to have it pulled up, cleaned, and done over. But without any response from him, now I have to take other steps. This was, and continues to be, an absolutely horrible experience and I hope no one else has to go through something like this.

Ryan Warner was to do some sheetrock work in our bedroom, laundry room and replace 2 windows. For 6250.00 he was supposed to sheetrock the ceiling in the laundry room, one wall and replace to window. Then in the bedroom he was supposed to sheetrock the ceiling, replace a 2'x2' piece above the window and the window plus paint. He asked for $4000.00 down and the rest upon completing the job. After he got his deposit, he never showed up and this is when we began to worry. When he finally showed up it was like Cheech&Chong and Dumb and Dumber! He arrived with his dad a guy named Kevin and some other guy I never got his name. Ryan brought about $10,0000 in tools and a utility trailer but no utility knife or T-square for the sheetrock. After unloading all his tools Ryan left with his dad to buy more tool is what he told me. The two guys he left here he said knew how to do sheetrock. Yeah right, they were using a Multi tool to cut it! These fools are good at demolition everything else forget it! Slop, that's what we got! Stay far away from this fool imitating a contractor hell hire a plumber instead they will probably do a better job!

An email to the owner with photos saying that I was not pleased was never even acknowledged.

It was a fairly simple project - replace an existing old blacktop driveway with concrete. They were a nightmare to work with. Signed a contract with them in April 2014 and was told it would be about a month until they could start. They didn't actually pour the concrete until the first week of October. There is an inch difference between the driveway and sidewalk so I have a trip hazard and they say that is normal. Now, May 2015 the driveway has 2 large cracks forming and they refuse to do anything about it. Concrete driveways should last at least 30 years.... the one that Direnzo Brothers installed at my house isn't a year old and looks worse then the blacktop driveway they replaced. Worst part is there attitude and don't give a damn about you once they have your money.
