We had a very similar experience to another Flintrock reviewer, Michelle A., in dealing with Jason Orlando (notice how Jason does not deny a single fact Michelle has stated, only deflects by saying she was not the one who was paying him). We found him to be highly unprofessional and unreliable. We contracted with Jason in March to replace 4 slabs in our driveway, a very simple **2-day job** according to Jason. He was to demolish the existing slabs on day 1 and cast the new slabs on day 2, with a small amount of follow-up work a few days later to remove the formwork and seal the joints, etc. Jason sent us tons of pictures of the jobs he was working on and invited us out to a couple of constructions sites with similar jobs going on. We went and were satisfied that he knew what he was doing. After some delays, his crew came out in early May to cut and remove 4 existing slabs. In the process, they tore up 3 zones of our sprinkler system, which Jason promised to fix. The next day the crew cast the slabs and stripped the existing expansion joint material from the slabs that were not being replaced, so the new joints would match. We had rain for a few days but then we had trouble getting Jason to come back out and finish the job. After a couple of weeks, we noticed that pits were forming in the surface of the new slabs. Some small and others up to 2 inches across and deep. On June 6 we told Jason of the pitting and he came out to look. Jason figured that the concrete he used must have been contaminated and he contacted Mercelos Sand, Loam, and Concrete, the concrete supplier he had chosen. Marcelos sent out a rep who inspected the slabs and took some pictures. Jason volunteered that the slabs would have to be replaced but did not want to do anything until he settled with Marcelos, to get them to pay for the new concrete and his labor costs for demolishing and recasting the slabs. Two weeks went by before Jason told us he had settled with Marcelos. After that, it was our pestering Jason every week or two for a schedule on when he would return, and him mostly ignoring us. While Jason was busy pouring concrete for all the people who gave him good ratings above, he was telling us he could not fit us in, and it was raining too much anyway. This was all nonsense of course, after we paid him the agreed-upon half of the total contract amount (like Michelle, the same day he asked for it) AND Marcelos paid him (a fact we recently confirmed with Marcelos), he had no intention of ever completing our job. The very few times he responded to our texts or voicemails (yeah, he was not taking our calls either) he complained about the rain, but seriously, he needed only a 2-day window to demolish and recast the slabs and we had plenty of those windows in the 4 months leading up to September 7, the day our attorney sent him a demand letter (4 copies actually), which he ignored of course. Our mistake was paying him a penny before the job was 100% complete. Jasons most unethical act was getting paid first by us for the original work and then a second time by Marcelos, specifically to replace their contaminated concrete in our driveway and then deciding to keep the money for himself while leaving us with bad slabs, open joints, and a broken irrigation system.
