I'm so glad I never saw this show before. I haven't had TV network availability for over 20 years. I didn't really have the time to watch this program before. Now it's free.
That’s a poor job, he probably used the wrong amount of cement or the cheap one to save money and profit more. Cement is not supposed to look like that after only 6 months.
sometimes a job may have unexpected future problems , thats life , science and weather and other factors can interfere with all types of work results but is does not mean the person who did the work was at fault , things can just happen on their own sometimes , ask any doctor or lawyer or contractor and they will all tell you that nothing is guaranteed . the plaintiff never proved that the defendant actually did the job incorrectly and i have seen this same judge rule the other way on similar cases where she ruled that the plaintiff never proved that the defendant did something wrong , she is not consistent with her rulings alot ot the time .
It it was me, and I made 42k from the job, I would have done the sidewalk over for free. Word of mouth advertising is a powerful thing, positive or negative.
HAHAHA. He doesn't want his company mentioned, but admits that it's "Frank's Masonry" after handing JM a quote with the business heading. Now we know, don't hire Frank.
That's exactly what happened. We had a slab poured for our new house and watched them pour it. They didn't vibrate the concrete at all. I asked the contractor why they didn't vibrate the bubbles out, and he told me that it wasn't necessary because it was a "beautiful warm day out and it would set just fine." Not only did they not vibrate it, they took the forms off the same day. Imagine that sidewalk was 2,000 square feet of concrete that is supposed to be stained and polished for the floors. Our entire house looks like that, not to mention the cracks and chunks of concrete coming out. The defendant must work for our builder. He has the same idea as to what a good job is. We can't even put flooring over the concrete without having a special compound and sealer put on it to keep it from crumbling under the new floors, and there's still no guarantee that won't happen. The defendant did a crappy job on the sidewalk and thinks he can blame it on the salt. If that was the case, every sidewalk that has had salt on it would look like that. He also probably poured that part of the job last, and the concrete was mixing too long in the truck and cold weather. There's a reason concrete is poured in the warmer months.
Salt does not eat concrete! Salt in water lowers the freezing point of water, which can permeate/ migrate into concrete and cause spalling when temperatures get considerably lower. All outdoor concrete should have what is called entrained air added. Entrained air is a liquid that's added to the truck when being batched that puts thousands of small air bubbles in concrete. These small air bubbles in the concrete allow for the expansion of the frozen salt water, and do limited to no damage to the concrete in freezing climates. The other reasons concrete spalls is that it was poured to wet, or allowed to freeze before curing (which happens all the time). Adding to much water to the mix either before or on the job site makes it's easier to pour and finish but usually gives a poor result and product
We don’t use salt on our driveway. At the edge of the street about 2 feet & up , it is pock-marked and from salt. The salt trucks come around and the salt travels. Right at the edge of my driveway/apron is shredded from the salt. That’s unavoidable.
I haven't finished watching the case, but I do remember reading on a bucket of cement I wanted to use, and specifically says not to use below 50-60 °F, it won't set, but still we can poor concrete in colder weather. 🤔🤔🤔
Looks like the concrete was either too wet, overworked (floated too much), and/or the outside temperature was extremely hot when placed. It definitely appears that the cement separated from the concrete mix to the top of the finished product.
My parents got scammed with a cinderblock wall around the yard back in the day. So I make sure to get all information for anything I do so I can make sure to put those scum people on blast and sue if need to. You have to be careful cause people are horrible.
customers can be horrible too . the guy did good work around their house and for some reason the sidewalk part of the job did not look perfect after six months and a severe winter , thats life , unexpected things can happen sometimes , it doesnt mean the guy scammed anyone , he did the work , u people have no skills at all but u expect everyone else to be perfect , humanity is filled with hypocrites !
Why wasn’t $3000 enough for her??? SO CLOSE TO THE FULL AMOUNT! Crazy to talk back after the verdict, in my opinion. He did work, the side walk is ugly, yes, but it’s still walkable. She should eat that $500 EASY
These cases keep getting better and better 😁

It was free before. You just needed the 7 bucks for an antenna.

was done in December. Looks like it froze before it was fully cured.
Exactly. December concrete job is very suspect

The cost was $42k, not his profit…That’s why he didn’t redo it for free…he’s broke.
@themadmillionaire I am sure he made a pretty penny...lol
I live in Michigan. Salt trucks come down my street, and our sidewalks do not look like that. And some people use low temperature salt pellets.
Exactly.
I have lived in Upstate NY for 30 years now. He is so full of crap.
If he wasn't lying can you imagine what Canadian sidewalks would look like
And they don't look like that
He cheap out and pocketed some of the money. Cutting alot of corners
HAHAHA. He doesn't want his company mentioned, but admits that it's "Frank's Masonry" after handing JM a quote with the business heading. Now we know, don't hire Frank.
That was a quote from another company not his company. Listening comprehension is so important!!
@@heathernichols7472 🤣🤣Ouch!
He was just saying it's his estimate he got
lol you’re not the brightest
Learn to listen boi that's not his company it's his buddies
Go back to school
Bro never shook the bubbles out of the concrete!! He didn’t vibrate it at all

Image ratio fail. Why are you squeezing 16:9 footage into 4:3 and putting the bars there? It’s not 4:3 to begin with.

Concrete and pavers are more shady then roofers!! Always cut corners they do
What's up with the weird border on the left and right side of the screen??
Screen looked weird
Yea-what's up with the weird border on the left and right side of the screen??

So his testimony is that every sidewalk in town gets destroyed each winter from city laying salt 🤔
$42,000?! 😮
They poured shovel in a bucket all over the sidewalk
For 42 grand you better include a new car!!!!!
🤷♀️ I live in Maine.
We don't use that as that is what happens. It is also slippery

She should eat that $500 EASY
Hello from Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Hello from Oregon USA 🇺🇸 😀
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and home of the world famous Salt Flats, where speed records are set. Flattest place on earth. That's salt damage.
Its NOT his fault , we used salt the 1st year on our new steps of our home and it looked just like this. Heavy salt ro k
She should’ve awarded her 3200$
I don't think it was fair that she went with the repair at double the cost. Let the guy repair it again. He will be more careful.

#3rd🎉
nothing to do with salt , thats a cheap mix
