Business ProfileforGreg's Masonry

Had to give one star rating so I could leave a review or I would have given him no stars. Contracted with him to repair my front porch and replace the concrete in front of the porch. I gave him 1/3 of the contract before he started. He wanted 50% but I said no. He showed up three days late and only worked about five hours. Instead of scoring or preparing the old concrete he simply used mortar to level the stoop. When I questioned using mortar and not concrete he told me hes been doing this work for over 25 years. After he finished and left for the day I noticed it was not level. My neighbor came over and used his professional level and found that indeed it was not level and water would not drain away from the house when it rained. The contractor came back second day and said thats the way it looks and I was bothering him with all the questions. Second day he and his worker broke up the concrete and left the area filled with sand. He also asked for payment two telling me he needed to purchase the concrete for the walkway. His worker left cigarette butts all Over my lawn and left divots in the front lawn from the wheel barrel they used. I also noticed after day two that the mortar on the stoop did not dry and had a dark patch. Next day I waited all day and he never showed up. I called and left him a text message that evening to tell him I was not happy with the work, that he had not shown up and didnt call and I had no confidence he will complete the job to my satisfaction. I told him we are done and I am not paying him anymore money. I had to contract with another contractor who will now need to fix his work and then finish the job. All the contractors looked at his work and all said the mortar would crack in less than a year. Do not hire this person. He is not honest, does terrible work, asks for payment up front (thank goodness I didnt do that, and was rude when I asked questions about the work. He doesnt know what hes doing. Beware - youve been warned.
