This is one of the first projects she took on from the passing of my dad and her experience was not so good. Bianchi Concrete performed poor service, was untruthful and took advantage of a single lady trying to do work on her house. These guys should be ashamed of themselves. Please do not use this service! Contractor: Bianchi Concrete, Inc. Bianchiconcreteinc.com Beverly Hills, FL 34465 or Homosassa, FL 34448 License: #2579 Project: Repair or replace cracked concrete located on my 3-vehicle carport. (Water was seeping through the cracks and flooding the lower level of my home.) Saturday, January 19, 2019 - Estimate and Verbal Agreement: 1. John Bianchi and one of his workers came to look over the project and give me an estimate. John measured the area, said he would pour 4 inches of concrete over existing cracked concrete. When I questioned if covering existing concrete could be done, he said the existing concrete was done settling and pouring new concrete over it would be fine. He would use a concrete mixture with fiberglass, which is stronger. 2. They would dig drainage areas on the sides of the carport to make sure the rainwater from the gutter down spouts would flow away from the carport. 3. Would use a concrete pump truck to pour the concrete because of the paver driveway. 4. After concrete is poured they would return and clean up all splatter. 5. Price quoted by John: $6,500.00 (If I agreed he would need $2,500 down payment with check made out to him, and the balance when project was completed.) 6. I cut a check for $2,500. Thursday, January 24 - Begin framing and concrete removal for Friday pour. John notified me that he couldn't get the concrete delivery until 1:00 pm on Friday, so he moved the pour to Monday. Monday, January 28 - Concrete Pour The cement truck showed up (not a pumper) and drove over my fairly new paver driveway. John didn't order enough therefore he had to order another yard of concrete. The second truck showed up and once again, drove on top of my paver driveway. While concrete was still wet, John had his worker insert a template with his business information into my concrete without telling me, or getting my approval. John requested final payment of $5,000. I replied that the balance was $4,000, not $5,000. John said I misunderstood, I disagreed and he said I was wrong. Therefore I destroyed the $4,000 and wrote out a new check for $5,000 though I knew he was wrong. I had no written contract from him until I paid him the balance, then he wrote out a contract. Tuesday, January 29 - John and his two workers returned to insert stress lines in concrete. Then left without talking with me. I looked over the project and was very disappointed. The house siding, two kayaks, shed siding, and pavers were all splattered with concrete. He never worked on the drainage issue as he was contracted to do. The stress lines they put into the concrete were very disappointing. Once the concrete dried it was very messy looking, had shoe prints from him and his workers, as well as scrapes from tools. The concrete itself has dark areas. Three weeks after the concrete pour, the new concrete is cracking. I gave John a call and expressed how disappointed I was in the final product. He has not returned my call.

We called them back once, when the project was only about 6 months old. They never corrected the issue and when more erosion occurred behind the wall again, I let it go until this year. We did the traditional method this time - filter barrier, stone and repack the top. Ironically, it cost 7K with LRE and 7K to repack it 3 years later. What ever foam they used has completely disolved when it was dug out or very little evidence foam was ever used. Do not waste you money and go the old tried and true method to repair your wall and just dig out.

One item was the Bamboo Orchid, which is just beautiful! There are also other plants I have never seen - of course, they were a little pricey, but I am definitely going back once a month and treating myself to those items. And when I say pricey I mean $90 - $100. I'm a tightwad and hate to spend money on myself but there are some pretty fabulous plants here - I totally recommend at least trying it out. The lady working there was very helpful and even went and looked something up to provide me with more info. She didn't have to do that so that was really cool of her. Thank you! O'Connell's is now on MY once a month "treat" shopping list, though I'm sure it will be more. And this place is going on my Christmas List. I read that the owner is very helpful - look forward to meeting him someday. Now if I could only find those large plant signs they use to describe the plants. I want to do the same in my garden.
