S&A Cement

Let me start off by saying, this company deserves ZERO STARS
S&A came to us as a word of mouth recommendation from a friend.
My first meeting with the Owner went smoothly, he answered all of our questions and was very thorough in measurements and notations. We were confident in him and his company and we trusted the person that referred us to him so naturally, we hired S&A to do the work.
The job was simple, remove the pavers that made up the sidewalk in the backyard and replace with a cement sidewalk. Scheduling was a bit confusing, he said he books when he has enough houses in the same area so he doesn’t have to be too far from job sites. This didn’t make too much sense to us, but we were fine with this. However, he gave us less than a days notice as to when he was coming. He said demolition would take 1 day and to lay the concrete would take another day. Him and his men showed up on a Friday to do the demo work and I found them in my backyard, on my property, drinking beer from a cooler they brought with them after the demolition was done. This was NOT okay. I don’t care that it was hot, I don’t care that it was Friday, I don’t care that the demolition was done. If you want to host a happy hour, take it OFF my property! I found bottle caps in my yard during the next few days. This is a complete DISRESPECT of clients property.
A few days later they came back to lay the cement. It had been raining for a few days so they had to wait. We came home from work to a VERY messy job. There was cement schmeared on our deck AND fence in multiple places. The black lining used on the side of our deck was not taken away or not trimmed, we had to trim it ourselves because it looked like a huge thick piece of black rubber lining the deck.
The end result of the side walk was crooked and not smooth in some places. The clean up of gravel, dirt and grass was not taken care of as the Owner stated in our meeting. They removed pavers which CLEARLY belonged to our neighbor and wasn’t part of the demolition or work that needed to be done and threw them out. We had to lay down and replace the pavers for our neighbors OURSELVES and that expense came out of OUR POCKET!
This BIGGEST problem we had with S&A Cement is that they BROKE our Air Conditioning Unit. Damages for the repair costs were SIGNIFICANT. After SEVERAL calls to the Owner and VERBAL ABUSE from him, we decided to get our Lawyer involved. This has been an on going battle for 8 months now.
S&A Cement has been KICKED OUT of the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU for MULTIPLE claims of Property damage to other clients with NO REIMBURSEMENTS! There are MULTIPLE ongoing LAW SUITS on this company.
DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!
