"Competition"

[mckeeland]

i was looking around on one of my "competitors websites" and came across these beauties. if this is in their portfolio you can only imagine their work they don't photo, i have seen it.:scared:

i have estimated repair jobs that they installed. i looked at a pool deck that was a complete tare out. all stone dust with wash out everywhere. they had a 6' cavern running under the bilco door. it wish i had taken pic of that job for all of those who ask "why cant you use stone dust?"

[NewHorizon's Land]

I hate to sound dumb but what IS wrong? I can see the stone dust in the first pic. Other than that whats wrong?

[mckeeland]

its more of a design butch than construction issue, however i am sure that will start to show after a year or two. on the raised patio they have the columns hanging over the edge of the patio. on the steps the first step starts out as a half cirlc and end up making some weird radius. then check out the small piece of bull nose glued to the paver lights. these are by no means the worst jobs that i have seen, just thought they where funny to see on their web. I've got some real beauties if you want to see that.

The radii are totally off, the steps are 8 3/8", the pillars on the top pic look almost like an afterthought. If they wanted them, they should have run them from the ground up.

[mckeeland]

Thats what I thought that it was just wierd looking.
Chris- How can you tell they are 8 3/8" risers?

No doubt the last set are horrible.

Looks like they built the steps directly on the brick. My god how long will that last I wonder.

[mckeeland]

The steps are 6" block with paver bull nose on them 2 3/8" = 8 3/8"

[STLPONDS]

Those pics aren't real are they. lol! I couldn't look the customer in the eye if that was my work. Yikes!

[-EGLC-]

That is horrible........about the same quality as if the homeowners themselves "installed" it.

Why is everybody ripping my craftsmanship? lol jk Well at least we all know that repairs will keep us in business. lol
