Stamped Concrete Wasn't good enough for Home Owner! Part 3

[@markb.1259]

The concrete job looks amazing!!! Sounds like the homeowner is the kind of person who's NEVER satisfied, regardless the quality of your work.

[@tomruth9487]

Work looked great. I think some clients don't understand what's involved. You're a craftsman and they don't understand that it's you're work, you finished it the way you saw it should be. Nothing is more permanent than concrete. If they don't like what you did, then they can hire someone else next time. I think sometimes clients think just because you are working for them and that means that they can get exactly what they want. This is not how it works.

[@murraystewartj]

More than that, have a clause in the contract that explicitly deals with mid-job change orders and have the customer sign off that change and the additional charges. Just keeping your own notes means nothing should it come to court. If the contract is in writing then any changes need to in writing. CYA on everything.

It could be that she regrets the style. I don't like it either, but I also wouldn't have picked that stamp because its the style that I don't like. I prefer stampings that look like bricks. The stamp in the video looks like old worn concrete to me. It also will have flat slippery spots due to smoothing over the pattern.

[@think2cre81]

I did concrete for years . Before becoming a union pipefitter welder . And you had a great crew on this job. You are 100 percent correct about the joint down the middle. All concrete cracks . Joints are a control joint to force the crack in that location. And you're right again about a light broom finish being for safety. The whole job looked absolutely beautiful. And yes, I would have loved to have a slab like that at my house. What I didn't like when I was a finisher was a salt finish. Concrete to me looks so beautiful with a stamp and light brush . But with salt finish, it looks like a bunch of little sand traps. Great job, sir . Much respect.

Even the cracks in the middle slabs ?

[@2Truth4Liberty]

@@stevetrivago He said they were 14 feet so, I would say yes, unless you want to hive a high risk of random crack rather than a controlled crack.

You just have to specify things properly. No need to avoid customers giving you money.

[@stevennguyen4993]

​@@LegendLengthThe problem with these customers is that they are never satisfied cause they have the priority of exercising control over the professional, rather than the priority of getting a quality product/service that you can provide. Most times, it's not worth the hassle, stress, infuriation, and additional time required to meet a standard that doesn't exist. And in some cases, this same people are difficult to shake off: they show up later on and give you bad reviews for good work and demand you to fix finished work that doesn't need to be fixed, or work that needs to be fixed because you followed their umeducated instructions.

[@LegendLength]

@@stevennguyen4993 The problem is you are lumping regular people in with the annoying customers, they are different. Tradies get mad when they are told what to do because normally they have free reign. And so *any* customer that merely specifies a design is treated as an annoying customer. In other fields it's different, like software where it's very formal that the customer always specifies things, even if they are bad choices by them or annoying. You just charge more.

I don't know why this popped up in my recommendations, but I enjoyed it. My dad did concrete and flagstone work in the 90s. I'd help him on some jobs as a kid and teen. The concrete slabs we poured were very basic compared to what you guys did here. All we did were basic joints and end-to-end broom texturing, even for patios. I really like the esthetics and functionality of the stamping. The same goes for the way you placed the joints. The broom-textured border was also a necessary and pleasing touch. This patio is an art piece. I'd be very happy with it. If anything, I'd want the stamping to be more pronounced, as pronounced as possible without causing furniture to wobble too much. That's just me, though. Everyone is different.

[@robertkahn1635]

I recently retired as a Supt. for a Commercial General contractor for 33 years. Have finished and been around a lot of concrete. Finished product looked very nice. The joint cutting down the middle absolutely necessary. Without as you said it would crack with no control and would wander. The joint will still most likely crack there but the joint will control it's path and conceal it. I've had clients that you just couldn't satisfy. I feel you on the extra work making changes with no appreciation or even a "Thank You". Diminishes motivation and incentive to want to give the client a premium job when they are unruly difficult. Won't talk about gender other than to say a man wouldn't care as much IMHO. I feel your slump was correct for the intense detail required after placement. Manpower was sufficient for jointing/stamping. Nice consistent brooming also. The only advice maybe that might have helped some is the use of mock-ups. That way you have what you need to produce onsite. I realize it is time, effort and money however the size of the job may benefit you and the client. One thing that I learned over the years is a client will only remember the bad jobs. You can knock it out of the park 100 out of 99. The one that got away is what they remember. Go figure.

So much fun doing an install for a customer that doesn't understand the rules of job but tries to outsmart you or blame you for stuff. Even more fun is when someone who isn't even part of the job comes over and tries to micromanage the way you dispose of trash, and you are already doing exactly what they want you to do.

Beautiful job! The homeowner is nuts.

You guys are concrete artists. That slab looks amazing.

[@frankyjas5184]

That looks amazing. Great work. The problem is these pretentious home owners that don’t look at things for their beauty. They look at things for their imperfections. And when you do that in anything in life you’ll always find it. That’s great work guys.

Been in construction over 40years, at Manager level, to me this stamped concrete job is exceptional, keep up the good work lads.

[@ebikeoutdoors]

[@JonathanMcMillan-w2f]

[@marchanson711]

A masterpiece of work and finishing.

[@seekeroftruth101]

What a nightmare homeowner. You guys did a fantastic job.

[@Taylor_family_adventures]

It’s hard to please everyone as a small business owner! Keep up the good work; theres plenty of great clients that’ll see your good work brother👊🏼

I'm an old stamper and epoxy floor guy. In my experience anytime the customer suggested a change, I would explain there would be an upcharge and write out a separate change order. Otherwise, you will get these types who will potentially change everything. Sometimes, they just don't know just how little they know or what it is that they're asking. I enjoyed watching your videos. You guys did a great job.

[@NailsbyAmbie]

Looks amazing. Sometimes people just want to complain about something.

[@lea-rw5cb]

Coming from someone who has done this, all lines are straight and very clean, and the pattern looks even, amazing job the home owner clearly hasn't a clue how much work has gone into those lines to make sure all margins line up 👍

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@aloofbit338]

You did a good job! I can understand from their perspective the line down the middle does not match the big corner spot. But you helped them understand why + brushing the edges they will appreciate in winter. They might of just been having a bad day. I think it's pretty cool even with that type of pressure you still delivered professional result

[@PeanutJelly-i7m]

awesome job. Looks amazing and some clients are just clueless. Always a good design with concrete and pavers to tie it all in.

Beautiful work man. You should have stamped GFY into each slab.
