How do you fix a bad pool patio concrete job?

Question

A contractor was hired to put bullnose coping with a 3ft patio around my pool. Plus, a 3 ftX25 ft walkway to the pool. They covered the bullnose with paper that got stuck so they chiseled it out and added new cement (different shade) and jackhammered a spot and added more cement. The walkway is half done with the cement truck cement and half done with the contractors mix. It is rough, ugly and a disaster!

Answer 1

You have several options, a couple of them could be futile (sorry)

1, stop payment  on the contractors check untill the repairs are made and your satisfied. But if the contractor did that bad a job,why would you want him back?.. 2 pay more money, and do it all over, it really is hard to match cement color, especially when two different methods were used....

3 Go on line to "In the Swim" or some other pool supply store, and buy some"POOL and PATIO" paint, read the direction carefully (when they say "clean dry surface" they mean it). There's all kinds of colors, and a painted deck looks better and last longer then unprotected cement......GOOD LUCK....
