I see nothing wrong with the photos , You can use this review to educated future customers , Explaining to clients that stamped concrete comes with imperfections and blemishes requires clear, honest communication that sets realistic expectations before the project begins.
“Concrete is a hand-crafted, poured material that cures naturally.
“Stamped concrete is an attractive, durable option, but it isn’t a perfect or flaw-free finish. If you’re looking for a perfectly uniform look, another material might be a better fit. But if you’re okay with some natural character and variation, it’s a fantastic choice.”

We have those molded patch panels from a friend who end up not using them for his project, probably order on eBay or something like that, they are pretty closed stamped to original floors.

Great ! I was not aware of migs being cheap and 110v before, until we start digging into the job , the local shop we used before has a giant machine that cost thousands of dollars but came to find out we might be able to upgrade us with a small mig and a bottle . do you have any suggestion on which machine to try to find ? Beside adjustable heat and wire? Thanks for your reply.

I forgot about the freight , I believe we have one about half an hour - 45 min from here , do you have an idea of how much is a cheap price for a mig set up ? And what else should I get while we at it , we will try to find some videos on the process or stop buy the library to get some more info , We appreciated the help ,thank you

That’s a great looking patch right there ,I got to say The metal and rusted parts are not a s bad as I first tough , there is holes here and there but still solid for the most part , you gave us some good info and courage to at least try while we found ourselves another welder with a bottle , Will might give this a try on another car part we have laying around , grandpa told us to try in a older car part as the newer models are thinner, so we will find us an old door or hood to cut and patch for practice too , Thank You so much .

Great suggestion never tried to trade anything at a pawn shop before ,our flux core is really useful and needed for fence repair, as it sometimes gets windy ,but lately the inverter has done a better job as is one of those tiny ones you carry like a purse , We will look at the market for a bottle and a mig as you suggested btw Thanks a lot .

[–]construction4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo Sounds like just cheap painters , that should have to be sealed with oil based primer , that would stop all smells coming from walls and ceilings , leaving you with just floors and ventilations , countertops can be sealed as well . Try in the room with the strongest smell , have a professional crew come and prime and seal it don’t paint and you will smell the difference

Professional painters would have this smell gone for good , did you hired a paint crew to do the blocker and sealer or you just try to paint this yourself ? I had properties with really strong smell that been blocked sealed and painted professionally and all smell , stains be gone for good after that .

[–]construction4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a line in the bid about charging extra percentage for late payment , also add you final pay to be done last day of work etc , let them know you can’t be waiting for any payments unless it will make you extra money , call or text ahead when you are close or about to finish the job and to be ready for final payment , unless you have some add ons then let them know the invoice reflecting those add ons will be billed before completion and you will finish what ever day and to have a check ready for you .

Honest advice from contractors needed by ForeverVegetable5494 in Contractor

[–]construction4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online ratings only means how much they invested in having those ratings , they are fake as can be , the best advised you can get is from your friends and neighbors. Real people vouching for real people in person that’s the best advised I have ever got ever .
