Better to wait?

We are removing an old raised patio in Inverness IL that was constructed 8 yrs ago. The homeowner paid roughly 10k for this raised Unilock paver patio. He called us for a repair stating the contractor that installed the patio would not return his phone call. This happens all the time in an effort to save a few dollars, or hurry to meet a deadline. This contractor meet both of those deadlines. But has no clue of how to construct a patio. Patio is basically sitting on dirt, no gravel base or poured concrete.
This patio is now a 25k patio, that the homeowner should have paid 15k the first time.
be careful and look at jobs that are over 5 years old before you make a mistake $$$.
Raised patio needs repair/replacement.
Mickey Finns Beer Garden taking shape.
We should wrap this one up by the Thursday nite show with Johnny and Eric. Everyone come out and check it out. Unilock permeable concrete pavers. Perfect for challenging drainage situations or harvesting.

With spring finally settling in, so comes the time to get outside and enjoy the weather. When we- are outside enjoying the weather, it's usually because we are building something fun...for one of our valued clients. :)

Brian Grano anticipates opening this week, and we have the honor of building the beer garden. We are using Permeable pavers by Unilock. Should be a very nice, dry place to enjoy a drink this spring. Come inside and check it out during a downpour and see the benefit of using permeable pavers in challenging drainage or over-pervious situations.
call us for details.

3 Steps to failure. What a $hame...
I came across this patio stoop today. The customer is looking to repair the step. I have to break the news that this step they paid good money for is failing and needs to be rebuilt.
I came across this patio stoop today. The customer is looking to repair the step. I have to break the news that this step they paid good money for is failing and needs to be rebuilt. Many stoops and steps are built in the over dig area of the house which is usually 3-4' from the house. This is where the initial excavation footprint is larger than the house allowing for the forming of concrete and drainage work prior to framing. This area close to the house is disrupted soil that takes years to settle.
If you hire an experienced contractor, you won't be paying twice for a job that should have been right the first time.
