I told my wife i would build a walkway from the street to our front door on my week off of work, Well, I started and got into it and realized I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. We live on hill, our yard is not level at all, etc. etc. I was standing in my yard with shovel in my hand and these two guys pull up in truck and ask me what I am doing. They said they could build me a concrete path today. They got out took some measurements and quoted me what seemed like a pretty good price. And uncharacteristically for me, I said«lets do it». They immediately went to work leveling out a path, framed it out and then asked me for check for more than half of the job saying they would come back tomorrow and poor concrete. I had no name, no address for the guy, just a a card with the«David Masonry & Landscape» I didn’t even fill out the the«to whom» part on the check because he said just leave it blank. & they took off. That is when i looked him up on Unilocal… and gulp… it does not look good. I was worried i got scammed. But they came back next morning poured concrete and finished the whole job in 1.5 days at the price he quoted me. No problems. I have had much worse luck with licensed contractors and national chain stores(see my other reviews). I can only vouch for my experience. But it was A-OK by me.

This guy is a con man. Do NOT do ANY business with this man. He has 5 judgements, soon to be 6 and 2 liens on him. He will propose a lower rate and will keep adding cost and will take your money and not finish the job. If he solicits you for a job. Call the cops on him! He is a con man! You will be worse off if he does any kind of construction, masonry, etc for you.
