Why you should be careful when searching
for and selecting a concrete contractor?

You know what the greatest thing about the concrete business is?

It’s very easy to get into.

Set up a business name, buy some concrete finishing tools and supplies, build a website and... poof. You’re in business!

But do you know what the worst thing about the concrete business is?

It’s very easy to get into!

Just open any phone book, open any home improvement magazine, do an internet search, look around and see all of the pickup trucks advertising their concrete business as you're driving around town. They're everywhere. It's easy to see there is no shortage of concrete contractors.

Therefore, hiring just any company off the street is just a potential problem waiting to happen! With as easy as it is to get into and so many out there, it's like playing darts blindfolded.

The fact is, a percentage of these concrete contractors have little or no experience, no insurance, and a warranty that's only as good as the stability of the company. And they're just waiting for our phone call. They'll do our job and then the next thing we know, they go right out of business. They're here today and gone tomorrow.

Consequently, it's VERY easy to hire the wrong concrete contractor unknowingly.

The concrete industry has been proven to be one of the most fraudulent industries in the country? Concrete Scams can be found just about everywhere. Yes, unfortunately even in Reading. There is little or virtually zero regulation of concrete installation. As a result, more people get ripped off by unethical and inexperienced concrete contractors than just about any other industry out there!

In the end, most people don't even realize they've been ripped off until it's too late. Months or even a year or two down the road.

Why?

Think about it... how many residential concrete driveways does the average homeowner purchase in a lifetime? One? Two? Maybe three? Incidentally, this obviously results in most of us not being up to speed about proper concrete installation techniques. Basic techniques that will help to make a concrete driveway last a lifetime, as it should.

Unethical contractors know this. They know most of us don’t understand concrete driveway installation which makes it easier for them to try to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

Additionally, they know that when we ask them questions, they can just reply with answers we want to hear rather than giving us the honest answers we need. They attempt to mislead us with simple, vague answers or deflect our attention in an attempt to earn our trust.

For instance, they’ll assure us they’ll do an excellent job for a far better price than their competitors, but conveniently leave out the most important details. Significant details the average person wouldn’t know or even think to ask. As a result, when they perform the job, they cut corners on quality to save time and expenses to increase profits.

Of course, they do the job just good enough to last long enough to meet their so-called warranty. By the time we realize what’s happened, these contractors are already long gone with our hard earned money and they’re nowhere to be found.

The end result?

Ultimately we end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars hiring concrete repair contractors to perform a multitude of expensive repairs, whether it be sandblasting and staining, overlaying, or patching the poorly installed job when we realize what’s happened.

Unfortunately, this leads to a driveway that looks patchy and blotchy from multiple repairs and mismatched colors. With colored and stamped concrete, the problem can be even worse since it's virtually impossible to precisely match colors.

Even worse? Being forced to hire yet another concrete contractor to come back and completely remove and replace it to fix it correctly.

A new concrete driveway that’s
installed properly and lasts a lifetime?

Or a driveway that plagues you with problems
and countless repairs year after year?

A new concrete colored or stamped concrete driveway
that’s installed properly and lasts a lifetime?

Or one that wasn’t installed properly and cannot
be repaired without removing it and replacing it?

Honesty And Experience Can Make The Difference

During our decades in the driveway business, we’ve seen poor concrete installation time after time. Imagine paying thousands of dollars for a new concrete driveway only to end up with an eyesore in front of your home that can't be repaired without spending thousands more? Imagine the costs to remove the existing, poorly installed concrete driveway?

On the other hand, unfortunately, the same problems can occur with inexperienced concrete contractors.

For example, an inexperienced contractor may have good intentions and want to do the job right, but they just can’t perform at the level needed to to get the job done right due to their limited experience. In other words, a poorly installed concrete driveway due to lack of experience can cause headaches and disappointment just the same.

Nevertheless, we still end up with a driveway that looks patched with inconsistent colors that can’t be solved even with time. Therefore, putting too much trust in an inexperienced contractor just isn’t worth it either.

Who wants an eyesore in front of their home? Particularly after spending thousands of dollars?

But the mistake that tops them all? Hiring a driveway paving contractor whose sole intention is to rip homeowners off!

Don’t mistakenly think this doesn’t happen. It does and it will if you’re not careful.

Choosing Just Any Concrete Contractor Is Just Not Worth The Risk

We receive hundreds of questions and complaints from homeowners from all over the country asking us about unethical concrete contractors.

Ask yourself these questions?

• How can a person be positive a company has adequate experience?
• Rather than giving us the cold hard facts, how can a person be certain a contractor is not misleading us and simply telling us what we want to hear?
• Has the contractor ripped off other homeowners in the past?
• What’s the best resource to be sure a concrete contractor is adequately licensed?
• What is the best resource to get confirmation that a contractor is insured while they’re on the job?
• How much do concrete contractors in Reading charge and how much does concrete installation actually cost?

These are all questions we should ask, but really have no way of knowing how or where to begin doing such research. To do such extensive background verification on a company can require a vast amount of time, money and resources.

However, even then, with little or no knowledge of actual concrete installation, there’s just no guarantee that the job will turn out right. Especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for exactly.
