Had a horrible experience with The Centre company in Belleview.
Wouldn"t recommend them to anyone. Long story. Take my word.

Mr. Rod Lowery from the Centre in Belleview,
came out to our house April 2010, to give us an estimate on doing a brick back patio that was to be built up. Plus a granite kitchen counter top.
We gave him a deposit then paid him by check when the job was completed. It looked OK when it was finished but not very good. There were gaps in the bricks.
After the first month we noticed that sand was coming out of the wall of the deck, we called Mr. Rod Lowery and was told that was "normal" and nothing to worry about.
After 4 months we noticed that the bricks were starting to sink, we call Mr. Lowery every week for 2 months, he sent one of his work men to "fix" the bricks. We left for the summer and when we came back the bricks were sinking again. We called Mr. Lowery every day for 3 weeks then we went to his business, he said he would come out but it was another 3 months before he came over himself to "fix" the bricks. The entire brick deck is sinking.
We contacted another company who looked at the deck and was told that the sand used in building up the deck was the wrong kind and never should have been used.
The bricks are sinking because Mr. Rod Lowery used the wrong material, they are not sinking because of the weather, or age.
We keep calling Mr. Lowery but he just promises to come out again but never does. We are sick of the run around.
Brick decks if built properly are suppose to last the life of the house not a few months. |
