My house is a MESS thanks to Roger Conrad Concrete!

EVERYTHING that he did was WRONG!! Now I have to hire someone competent (or at least honest-Roger is probably competent, and just chooses to rip people off thinking they won't know the difference between a straight wall that doesn't leak and a bowed wall that does) My porch is wrong, my basement walls are wrong, my basement leaks as does the porch he installed. the one drain pipe that he did install runs uphill so that was a waste of time. The footer drains he just didn't bother to install. (They're buried so, heck, who will ever know?!) The list go on and on. Just take my word, the "good Christian man who is the number one name in concrete" is NOT who you want working on your house.

Driveway Install - Lancaster, OH

4300 square foot driveway for a newly constructed home. Had five different contractors come out for the estimate and four of the five came back with about the same amount (the fifth was way high). Went with Roger because he's been in business for quite a while and he does work for the city.



Roger was on the jobsite for the majority of the work. One instance in which I felt a change needed to be made to the form was a bit intense but we got along fine after that. The crew was experienced and no B.S. in getting the work done with quality and speed. All work was done by hand and looks beautiful. The job was completed in 2 1/2 days which was quite an accomplishment considered how much work.



Now for the downside: The day after the work was completed my wife saw some individuals at the bottom of our driveway. These individuals were township officials and they informed my wife that we did not have a permit for the driveway and that the bottom edge that meets the road was not in code (the driveway edge is about 1 1/2 inches above the road).



Note: We had just given Roger payment for the work the evening before. My wife asked if she should stop-payment on the check. I had confidence that Roger would resolve everything so I told her not to stop-payment.



I called Roger and explained what was happening. He stated that he thought we were far enough outside of city limits to not need a permit for the work. Then he asked for the township officials name and contact info and that he was going to talk with them.



So Roger met the township officials and my wife at our driveway the next day. Roger asked if they could build up the asphalt to the lip of the driveway and the township officials said "no". At the end of the conversation Roger said to my wife that he was going to take care of this and that he will also widen the base of the driveway while he's correcting the problem.



This last conversation was two weeks ago. Roger has not called us back, provided any updates to the situation and have not returned my repeated phone calls to him.



Lessons learned:

- Check with the township on any outside projects for permits, regulations, etc.



- Do not trust a contractor regardless of how friendly and accomodating they are. Do NOT submit payment until two days after the job to allow for repeated inspections



- Do NOT hesitate to stop payment in a situation like this



If there's a favorable outcome to this I will post a follow-up review.
