Collier Construction Group

This is a follow-up to our reported concerns, On September 28, 2026, Collier Construction sent a crew of two men to our property to address some of the concerns we had previously reported regarding our newly installed concrete patio and ramp. Before their arrival, we had requested that Michael Collier come to the property so we could walk through all of our concerns together, especially since he had not returned to inspect the finished concrete in person. We felt that seeing the issues firsthand would help him better understand the extent of our concerns. He informed us that he was unable to attend because his wife was on bed rest, which we understood. We therefore offered to have a video call with him instead. The crew arrived shortly before 1:00 p.m. When they arrived, I showed them the various areas of concern that my husband and I had identified. They informed me that they had only been instructed to repair the crack shown in a photograph that had been sent to Mr. Collier. I explained that my husband was at work and that we had requested a video call with Mr. Collier so we could all discuss the issues together and ensure everyone was on the same page. One of the crew members then initiated a video call with Mr. Collier, while I had my husband on speakerphone so that all parties could participate in the discussion. During the call, we reviewed the following concerns: The old sidewalk protruding from underneath the new concrete. The crack in the concrete. Black marks along the side of the house where the crew had ground down the door after it became cemented shut. Areas of pitting and depressions in the concrete on the ramp. Excess, raised, and clumped concrete beneath the post. The black metal post that had concrete adhered to it. My husband asked whether they could at least cut away the portion of the old sidewalk that was protruding. Mr. Collier responded, “If that’s what we wanted,” and we confirmed that it was. We also asked whether the section of the ramp with the pitting and depressions would be replaced. Mr. Collier examined the area and stated that he had not seen that issue in the photograph, but agreed to replace it. He explained that the crew would need additional concrete to complete the work. He also instructed the crew to use a brush from their truck to remove the concrete from the black metal post and to address the black marks along the house. After the call ended, the crew informed me that they needed to leave to obtain additional concrete and materials. They departed and returned at approximately 2:45 p.m. Upon their return, they removed a portion of the ramp and began preparing the replacement concrete. The new concrete appeared noticeably darker than the existing concrete, so I sent Mr. Collier a text message asking whether it would match the original color. He responded, “Yeah,” which led us to expect that the repaired section would match the surrounding concrete. The crew then used muriatic acid and a steel brush to remove the concrete from our black metal post. Unfortunately, this process left rust-colored stains extending from the post across the front of the patio. I asked whether these stains would come off, and the crew told me that we would need to power wash the area and that the stains should come off. The crew also informed us that Mr. Collier had instructed them to use muriatic acid along the side of the house to address the black marks. However, they felt that doing so could further damage the concrete, so they chose not to proceed with that portion of the work. Additionally, the crew stated that they did not have the equipment necessary to correct the raised and clumped concrete beneath the post, so they were unable to address that issue. They removed as much of the old sidewalk as possible to eliminate the portion protruding from beneath the new concrete. I subsequently filled the remaining space with soil. The crew indicated that they needed to allow the replacement concrete to dry somewhat before finishing it with a broom. However, by approximately 7:00 p.m., the concrete still appeared too wet for this process. We were concerned that the finishing was performed before the concrete was sufficiently ready, contributing to the noticeable differences in texture between the repaired section and the surrounding patio. We had hoped to receive a follow-up call from Collier Construction the following day to check on the results and discuss any remaining concerns. However, as of October 14, 2026, we have not received any follow-up communication. Overall, we are disappointed with the results of the September 28 repair visit. We have attempted to remove the stains left by the muriatic acid, but as shown in the photographs documenting the work performed that day, several issues remain unresolved. These include: Remaining areas of concrete that were not repaired, including the raised and clumped concrete beneath the post. Rust-colored stains left across the new concrete during the cleaning process. Black marks along the side of the house that remain unaddressed. A repaired section of concrete that does not match the surrounding patio in color or texture. Small cracks and breaks along the concrete joints and creases that remain a concern. We are particularly concerned about the existing cracks and breaks and whether they will continue to worsen as temperatures drop and the concrete experiences seasonal expansion and contraction over the coming months. Given the issues that remain after the repair attempt, we are worried that the condition of the patio could deteriorate further and that we may ultimately need to have the patio redone at considerable additional expense.

AVOID MIKE AT ALL COSTS. Less than a year after my driveway was installed, two major cracks appeared. His contract includes a 1-year guarantee, so I notified him in February. He promised to come out in May, then pushed it to July, then August. I repeatedly had to chase him for updates. It is now September, and he has stopped responding altogether. I?m left with a cracked driveway and a contractor who has failed to honor his guarantee. Save yourself the time, frustration, and headache. Hire someone else.

Mike’s crew were very professional knowledgeable and very efficient I would recommend this company the price was reasonable the job was completed professionally within a week. Thanks again Mike and your crew.

Collier constuction did a great job getting rid of a deck and putting in a new patio. Wonderful craftsmanship, a stickler for detail and a job well done. I would recommend them to anyone.

Mike and his crew were wonderful. Took great care with the property and listened and did what we were wishing for. Thier work is incredible and budget friendly. They say all concrete companies are the same, not this one. They are above what my expectations were. Great Job to Collier Construction on a job well done.

Mike and his team do great work. They are on time, on budget and honest. Highly recommend.

My new driveway is awesome! Everything was perfect from the friendly crew, the price and the end result. I highly recommend them. From the quote to the finished product was done in less than a week. I love it.

Mike and his crew installed a new patio at the side of the house and a new walkway in the backyard. They completed the work in one day. The next day they removed the forms and finished the tuckpointing. Mike and his crew were very efficient and polite. I am looking forward to enjoying the new concrete installations.

Mike and his crew did a great job in a timely manner as well as a very fair price. I am going to use him again to put in a patio. I highly recommend his services.

Very professional, project was completed a lot sooner than I anticipated. Now I have the best looking patio in my neighborhood. Their price was also extremely affordable

Very flexible, professional. Goes above snd beyond to provide excellent customer service and awesome job

Mike and his crews were excellent! They removed my entire 100' driveway, including the area in front of our 3-car garage, and a 30' walkway between the driveway and our porch in one day. In addition, we expanded the driveway to be twice as wide. In a total of four days, the old driveway was removed and the new, expanded driveway with walkway was finished. Mike and his crews were all very friendly, efficient, and hard workers, and Mike's price was very competitive. I would use Mike's services again in a heartbeat.

Very good price .owner and workers very nice to work with they care about the work to do ! Definitely recommended this company .Will be calling them for future projects

Fast response and very friendly service great work for the money.

Very respectable guys, they completed everything I needed done in great timing. Will be using Mike for future jobs as well as his brother in law for my car details.

Very professional. Understood what I was looking to do with a new patio on the side of my house. Took two days to complete the entire job. My patio looks marvelous. I should have done it years ago. I would recommend Collier Construction to anyone have outside concrete work done.

Mike was very transparent, knowledgeable, and fair. The only sad part is not having the funds to turn my house into the oasis I deserve! So we put our heads together and came up with the solution that I needed most to be done for the time being. Mike respected my situation and thatâ s very rare. He cares about delivering great results/product but also building a long lasting professional relationship with his customers is his top priority!!! Heâ s the kind of person you want working on your projectsâ ¦. Thanks again Mike and Crew you guys were great!
