"I interviewed 3 people involving concrete and tying in a french drain and he explained everything in such a way that it was very detailed very good.

Since 1971, Bruno Morelli, Morelli Concrete, LLC, has been a family owned business that proudly serves the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding areas. Pete, my son, has also been working with the business since his teens and is getting prepared for his eventual take-over of our business. We always stand behind our work, because we are experienced not only to do the job, but to do the job right. For most of our jobs, depending on the size, we DO NOT require a down payment. We can do this because we know that when we are finished our customers are completely satisfied with the job.
"Pete and his crew initially started our project of concrete around the pool with retaining wall and patio concrete slab 9/2021. Few issues that arose no fault of Pete, was the slide dimension and walkway needed to clear the solar cover was inaccurate and not enough concrete was poured for both of them. That was the fault of the pool company for giving inaccurate measurements to Pete. Pete stated he would correct this problem and add more concrete so the slide could be anchored onto the concrete and add more concrete to allow a walkway on the side of the pool. Another issue that Pete was notified right away was the retaining wall was not high enough and runoff/rain water was flowing over the top of the retaining wall and through the retaining wall causing muddy water to encroach into the pool area. He initially stated that once landscaping was complete it would fix this. However that was not the case. He was again notified and he promised to raise the retaining wall to correct this problem, yet he never showed up and continued to ignore our calls. Third issue was the concrete lining the pool already started to crack off and was found at the bottom of the pool. Fourth issue was the top blocks of the retaining wall were damaged. Several portions of the retaining wall were carved into and did not appear to be brand new. He promised he would replace these with new. Yet, he never showed back up. Fifth issue, the concrete patio cracked within several months. Sixth issue, the additional concrete was never sealed and is also now cracked. To attempt to correct the the first issue, He staked the project out 10/12/21 completed around 10/25/21. His crew was using a stamp for the concrete and the stamp for the new concrete was off-centered causing the concrete to be noticeably abnormal. When he was notified of this eyesore, he actually stated he realized this mistake… didn’t feel the need to tell us though. He promised us he would correct this by removing the concrete and pouring new. He would tell us on a weekly basis that he was coming to correct this problem and then he would never show up. We would call him and text him and he wouldn’t answer or reply. We have all encounters documented for proof. December 2021 came around and he stated due to poor weather conditions, we would be the first customer of 2022 and that we were “on the books!” Spring 2022 came around and he would continue to lead us on and telling us that he will be there on specific days and then again he wouldn’t answer his phone or texts. He kept ghosting us and texting us what we wanted to hear… it is now 1 year later and it’s still not fixed. He continues to screen our phone calls and rarely answers. Due to this delay, we were unable to complete this project until all these issues are corrected. We are awaiting to complete landscaping and install fend around property until this has been corrected. We would highly suggest thinking twice before you agree to have this company perform work at your house. We are shocked by their unprofessionalism, lack of respect and lack of pride in their work. Their slogan is that they stand behind their work; however clearly this is not true. Hopefully, I am able to post photos to prove the extent of our situation."

You’ll start by breaking the slab into manageable pieces and hauling the debris away with heavy machinery or sturdy hand tools. For concrete under three inches thick, a crowbar or sledgehammer often does the trick; thicker slabs call for a jackhammer and full protective gear.
Pros bring specialized tools, handle recycling when possible, and finish the job quickly and safely—another reason many homeowners call in a contractor instead of tackling it solo.
You’ll need a permit only if your local building department says so. Small, non-structural projects often slip under the radar and don’t require permits, but major demolition almost always triggers a permit and inspection. Check with your city or county before the first swing of the sledgehammer to avoid fines and delays.
With the right crew and equipment, most concrete demolition wraps up in a single day. Thickness, strength, and square footage are the biggest time factors, so larger or reinforced slabs can stretch the schedule. Pros use specialized tools to move fast without putting nearby structures at risk, keeping the job both safe and efficient.
Start by multiplying the slab’s length and width to get total square footage, then multiply that number by the going rate of $2 to $6 per square foot for slabs up to six inches thick. For thicker concrete, double the square-foot price. Don’t forget to ask whether disposal—costing $50 to $100 per ton—is already in the quote. Checking that line item keeps your estimate realistic.
Yes—think about reinforcement before you pour the replacement slab. Rebar or wire mesh boosts strength and durability on big projects like patios, decks, and driveways, helping the concrete stand up to heavy loads and changing weather. A local concrete pro can tell you exactly what gauge and pattern will give you the best long-term performance.
