We hired them to do an excavation of our driveway, and RV pad and to repour it. It was a week project and every contractor has said it should have been a week. On the first day all of their equipment broke, then their tractor, then they had a popped tire, then the key in the ignition broke, OMG!! But we understood and they didn't want to go to homedepot and rent more equipment so they broke the cement with the skid steer and back hoe and just dumped huges pieces of rock and cement on our retention wall. They Broke our retention wall, broke the water pipeline, ripped up our internet cables, our electric sprinkler system, damaged our stucco and at the end wouldn't take responsibility of the foundation rocks the broke on our retention wall. We paid for 5' inches of concrete and they didn't take the depthness down to 5 inches, always came back up to 2-3 inches, and we are paying for 5 inches of cement!! Didn't get enough roadbase, didn't compact it well, and they kept saying it was compacted. We've had 2 structural engineers and 7 contractors that have ALL agreed that there isn't enough or even at all roadbase, that the compaction was not at all done correctly or enough and that the forms were open allowing cement to seep through to the rocks. We told them so many times that we want closed forms!!! The dowels are too high on the side of the house and they didn't epoxy them into the cement. The small retention wall they didn't go below frost line, there is no drainage in the back of the wall, and they back filled it before they put concrete, also the rebar was separated way to far apart making this wall to fall over within the year. After 6 weeks of this mess, we fired them which we should have done a long time ago. He took $21,800 from us and wouldn't give it back. Our driveway is still unfinished and every single contractor and engineer that has come out is appalled and said that they were so careless in their work. They have all said that it has to be dug out, reapply roadbase to 6 inches, compact it properly and move the dowels to the proper position. When we asked Nathan to hire a structural engineer, and he refused. We said it might be good to go through insurance since he was so worried about costs, and he was furious!!! Said I was threatening his family and business! I said, "Whoa! Let's be clear, I said to go through your insurance, I never threatened YOU or your family or your business!!" We should have fired him a long time ago! He goes by "concrete cowboy" has a ton of ads on FB and TikTok and Instagram. His company is "YourHome Construction", so if you get this guy just be aware. We had to get his insurance through the state, and when we called he was luckily insured but not bonded. He refused to give us any information on his bond, license and insurance. With this review, I hope to warn anyone else that is hardworking and just looking for a good contractor to be aware of this man and company. Not only do we not have a driveway, but he took thousands and thousands of dollars from us, and says we "owe" him more. #concretecowboyTV #concretecowboy #nathannelson #nathannelsontv #yourhomeconstruction #concrete #construction #contractor read more

Be cautious when using Concrete Cowboy, YourHome Construction! Nate made big promises when we decided to hire him to put in a pickleball court and cement patio. He ended up taking shortcuts and delivered poor quality. He tried to skim by on the rebar and put less than what he said and what is recommended. Good thing my husband caught it before they poured and had them correct it. They failed to appropriately cap and evaluate preexisting sprinkler lines. At first they cut water to the entire yard and had to bring someone in after our front yard grass was dying to restore water. When they restored water to the front, water started bubbling up from underneath the new slab of concrete. When they laid the cement they almost forgot to put the pickleball posts in. Again good thing my husband was home and had to remind them to put them in. As they were pouring they were looking up where and how they should put the posts in. They put the basketball footing to close to the fence so the post wouldn't fit and had to be removed and replaced. Concrete slab is not level and we have several spots that pool with water...one spot is next to the foundation of our home!! During clean up, they washed all the debris into our neighbors yard. The original plans included an in-ground sandbox and all they did was nail some old boards together, put it in the yard, fill it with sand and told us if we wanted it in the ground we would have to do it ourselves. HE TAKES SHORT CUTS,DOES NOT FOLLOW THROUGH, & DOES POOR QUALITY WORK. I would not use this company again or recommend them to family and friends. read more
