Concrete Patios, Walks & Steps Installation
Michael replaced a 23 year old front step for us in May 2019. In July 2021 we noticed moisture and mold in the basement directly under the front step, including inside the electrical box. We learned that water had been slowing seeping in around the frame of the front door down the wall to the basement because the concrete was not level by about 1/8 inch and slanted toward the house. I called Michael and he came out to assess. After first insisting that the step was level, he later agreed that it was off by 1/8 inch where it meets the house. He offered to use a composite molding material attached to the wood with caulking, and do a skim coat with bonding adhesive onto the concrete. Having done some research beforehand and consulting our contractor I knew that this was not a long-term solution. Additionally, the wood framing at the base of the doorframe was rotted from being continually wet and needs to be replaced. When I told him that our contractor suggested that the entire step be replaced, he said that was not going to happen. And went on to say that he could not find the name of my contractor and also that he did not have a contract with him. I tried to approach him reasonably, showing him what was indisputably caused by his workmanship. He never even said that he was sorry that it had happened! From the onset, he was defensive, rude, and ultimately walked away from me. He tried to tell me that it likely would not have been a problem if I had a covered porch like most people pointing to other houses on my block. He even went on to insult me, saying that it took us two years to notice. I told him that we are likely going to have to have the damage caused go through our homeowners insurance and suggested that he file a claim with his insurance, to which he scoffed and said that his rates will go up. We plan to be in our home for a long time. I paid for a job done right, not one with a band-aid applied. This man does not stand behind his work.

"This is a case of a client wanting a $2,500 solution to a $5 problem. I offer the client a reasonable, common remedial action to the situation. As the customer attests to - It took 2 1/2 years to notice an issue in the porch area. Running a bead of caulking to seal an area where a concrete pad meets a building is a very common maintenance practice. Concrete does take some maintenance, doing a little caulking every couple of years to keep a joint sealed is not uncommon. The pad is solid, with no cracks or chipping whatsoever. The pad slopes away from the house overall and the stoop entry is open to the weather with no roof or overhang protecting the front door. And yes, a roof would help in keeping the rain off the front door."

Showed up on time, work done in an efficient manner. Very pleased with the new walk and step and the installation of a railing. Clearly improved the looks and safety of the entry to the house. Project was completed ahead of schedule. Mike took the time to accompany me to Home Depot to select the railing that was needed. Always friendly and clearly explained what was being done. A real pleasure to work with him.

"Thanks, Gary, I really enjoyed your project, curved concrete always gives me a chance to show off a little. Michael."

The contractor used old, existing insulation for part of the project and I had paid for new. The new insulation was installed substandard.
Response from Michael Steven Murgash
"In all my years as a Home Advisor contractor this is my only negative review, and it's about insulation."

Mike did some drywall work in our home. He was able to get to our job within the week of our estimate! We are very happy with the results and he and his son left our home clean and ready to go. We would definitely recommend him and will likely use him in the future for other projects.
