"Malaces the owner of M&M Landscaping was hired to install Hardie board siding, window, door trims, facade boards and rake boards and all vinyl soffits and metal trim on a new build home in Ventnor, NJ. He was asked at that time to supply us with his insurance information. He has not done so and I have now asked him several more times for it and he still will not provide us with that. His workers started the job and in doing so they covered the white siding they were installing with black hand prints all over all sides of the house. They were constantly being told that the work was not being done well and that they needed to fix and redo multiple parts of the job. My GC on the job(Chuck Staiano) called Malaces to come out and see the mess that was done to the siding, the black new tech wood, board and batten, siding and the metal trim around the house. Malaces came out and agreed that they needed to redo many places on the siding and replace the metal work that was all rippled and bent up and clean up the damage to the places that were damaged and remove all the black hand prints all over the siding. He began replacing trim. We came to see what he started to fix and the pieces he started to replace looked better. His men then went and took touch up paint to the Hardie board siding with squirt bottles and rags and proceeded to do swirls of cleaning on the siding. When we went to see what he had done we noticed all the swirls and that the white siding was not white anymore, it had swirls of a grey look all over it. We immediately contacted him and sent him pictures asking what did he do. He then tried saying he didn't do it. Our neighbors camera shows his men doing the swirls on the house and their ladders leaning against all the metal trim that is now not only rippled but all dented. There was no-one else but his crew working on the outside of the house. We called for a Hardie representative (Steve Taggart) to come out to see if there was any fix to this. We also asked Malaces to be there. Malaces was trying to say that the touch up from Hardie was defective and that was what caused all the damage. Steve submitted the pictures and product codes with a description of the issue. That department assesses the product codes to see if this happened anywhere else to deem it a manufacturing issue. Steve explained that Hardie only has one touch up kit so it would not be possible to send the wrong one. His expectation is that they are not going to see this as an issue with their materials. Steve also said our warranty on the Hardie products are voided based on the damage that was done. He said the outcome to this will have to be an insurance claim through Malaces insurance for all the damage including other materials that were also damaged on the house. I have been in contact with Malaces and expressed I would like to not have to pursue this with legal action and would like to have his insurance information to resolve the issues. He is still avoiding sending the insurance information and instead is asking me to pay him in full because "the job is done" We have paid him $20,000 so far and the balance of $10,000 would of been paid if the job was done well. Everything he did was negligently installed and consequential damage was the result. We are having a quote from another contractor for removal of everything and new material bought and replaced. I am not able to resolve this with him so I have retained a lawyer. The material alone which we have purchased for Malaces to install was way over $60,000. Not counting what he was already paid. My only resolutions to put this through his insurance company. If he wants to claim that Hardie sold him bad materials then he can fight that with them. Hardie denies that there was anything wrong with their product that it was an issue caused by Malaces. i'am requesting his insurance information from you so I can proceed with a claim needed to rectify this issue. I have multiple photos and videos and correspondences to support all of my claims. there has been 3 pymts.. 8/18/23, 8/24/23,10/4/23. total of $20,000"

One yard of concrete covers a different area depending on its thickness. At four inches thick, one cubic yard of concrete covers about 81 square feet. If you're pouring at five inches thick, it covers around 65 square feet. For a six-inch thickness, expect it to cover approximately 54 square feet. The thicker your slab, the less area one yard of concrete will cover.
The shelf life of concrete depends on whether it's wet or dry. Ready-mixed concrete in its wet form lasts approximately 90 minutes to two hours after water is added, so it is essential to schedule your delivery carefully. Bags of dry concrete mix can last several months if stored properly in a cool, dry place. Moisture exposure can cause the cement to harden or lose strength over time.
An average concrete truck can hold between eight and 11 cubic yards of concrete, although some larger trucks can carry up to 15 cubic yards. However, road weight limits often restrict the amount they can carry, so most deliveries are around eight to 11 cubic yards. Knowing this helps you plan the number of truckloads you'll need for your project.
Pouring concrete doesn't take very long once the truck arrives. One cubic yard of concrete can be poured in about 10 minutes. Therefore, a full truck with 10 cubic yards of material would take approximately one hour and 40 minutes to empty. Keep in mind, though, that preparation and finishing work add time to the overall project.
Concrete sealing costs between $1,400 and $3,000, depending on the area's size and the type of sealer used. Sealing your concrete creates a protective barrier that blocks moisture and chemicals, helping to extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance. Investing in sealing can save you money on future repairs.
Concrete walkways cost an average of $1,800 for a standard 200-square-foot installation. This includes materials and professional labor to create a durable and attractive path. The actual price may vary depending on design, finishes, and any additional features you select, but it's a worthwhile investment that enhances your home's curb appeal.
