              07/16/2023

              Very disappointed with the results!! Left gaps in cracks of the floor to be filled. Foundation seams were left unfinished with many missed gaps. The poly they used, we believe we could have done ourselves and done a better job. We thought this professional business would do a much better job than what was performed. When they quoted the job, it was quoted as a 2 man job. Only 1 person showed up and came first at noon. As the day progressed, the work got less and less acceptable. His only concern was getting off the job on a Friday. They make you sign a contract which ties you in to paying but leaving very subpar work!!!!
