            Date of original transaction - July of 2020 Total price paid for entire scope of work was $7,650 Scope of work included a concrete service walk, front of house sidewalks and a concrete slab.The portion of the job that is of concern for us is the concrete slab. The sidewalks appear to be fine. However, the concrete slab started to crack within 2 weeks of install. In fact, the contractor GCAT agreed to redo the slab, however the outcome was exactly the same the second time around.I have been in constant communication with the contractor and they have physically inspected the crack only to say each time that it is not structural in nature. The horizontal crack is now a full blown crack that continues to expand in both length and width. However, the contractor still feels it is a hairline crack and refuses to take any action or even acknowledge that the crack is bigger. In April of 2022 I contacted our local City Hall and asked if an inspection of the slab could be performed. It is at that point that I learned that the contractor had never paid for the required permits. The city advised that the permits needed to be paid prior to any inspection taking place. GCAT did pay for the permit in April of 2022. In May of 2022 an inspection of the slab was performed and the city subsequently disapproved the slab. I notified GCAT but rather than working with us to replace the slab the contractor hired an architect to attest to the soundness of the slab & essentially reverse the disapproval issued by the City. We only learned about the architect after the city had reversed the disapproval.The architect based his attestation on information the contractor shared about how the work was performed, a physical inspection was never performed. I am including pictures of the slab and crack, a copy of the original contract with GCAT, a copy of the Architects letter and the documents that GCAT provided to the architect.

            **** and the **Cat team did an awesome job on our driveway, sidewalks and front slab overlay! They were very professional and approachable, willing to discuss all potential options. We did have some specific requirements and they ensured everything was done to our satisfaction. The house looks great and we did have a number of people stop by and ask who did the work and ask for his contact! Overall very happy with **** and the **Cat team! Highly Recommended!
