jim carlson construction

Jim Carlson and his crew are the best! Very professional and honest. Quick to respond and had lots of creative, money saving ideas to contribute. They have been in business in the area for many years and I would recommend them highly to anyone needing concrete work done.

The most unprofessional, incompetent, time-wasting company you could ever try to do business with. Jim Carlson first said he could use the existing patio as a rat slab. Then, after talking with a real pro, he said he'd been informed that it would only crack so he'd have to tear it all up. Then after tearing it all up he tells me he has a problem with the concrete colors. He asks me to choose more colors. First I got creative. Then after weeks and weeks of him not showing up or calling, stalling, I finally gave in and chose the simplest most basic colors. He kept bringing me, once every two weeks mind you, the same dark red sample over and over again. It looked like lava rock. I kept telling him I don't want lava rock for this area. He just couldn't get it right. And he couldn't keep appointments. And he couldn't return phone calls or emails. He couldn't even make phone calls to say he was late or not going to show up. So we replaced him. This after wasting precious time with limited sunny days. It's mid-summer and we have to start all over again. The clencher? He trespassed on our property and stole work he'd done that we already paid for! He trespasses and steals! Now I have to file a police report. BUYER BEWARE!!!
