Jerry Bateman with Final Aspect Concrete refused to honor his work and commitment to replace bad concrete that he installed. We’ve done everything we can short of attempting to take him to court, which we would probably pay out of our own pockets. Yes, we spoke to a lawyer who said we had a case, but warned us it would probably be difficult to get any kind of payment out of Jerry should we win. We paid Jerry $25k + to pour a new driveway, walkway, and house skirts, as well as seal everything to protect it (there is no evidence the sealant was ever applied). The whole of the driveway now has areas that are peeling up. Initially, Jerry came out to look at what was happening in April of 2023. He stated that this was “some of the worse [he’s] seen” and asked for time to get solvent after the long winter. We finally agreed to a day to start in ~July, but had Jerry tell us that it “might be next week” instead. We called him and expressed our frustration due to our work schedule (graveyards) and let him know that we can’t sleep while they’re working, so finding a new time to reschedule to would be very difficult. Jerry became upset that we were frustrated about yet another cancelation and stated there is “no legal obligation” for him to repair his shoddy work. I would avoid this company AT ALL COSTS. We paid everything we were charged on time and without hesitation. We would now, probably, have to pay to get the whole driveway redone. If you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to waste (like us) on having to repair this company’s work, DO NOT HIRE THEM. I have text messages and video regarding his agreement and subsequent refusal to honor his work. I repeat DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.
