Joe Link Concrete Construction

In April of 2018 I hired JOE LINK CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION to install an aggregate drive and sidewalk for me. One of the main reasons I used Joe Link instead of one of my much better estimates was because a good friend had recommended Joe Link. My friend had known Joe Link several years earlier and felt that Link was a decent person. Not long after pouring the concrete several hairline cracks appeared. A few month later wide cracks appeared. I called John Link (Joe Link's son) about this and he came and looked at the cracks. John said the cracks should be fixed and he would do it as soon as the weather got warm. Well the weather got warm but I didn't hear anything from John Link. So I called him back. He said he would call me next week and set up a time. But he didn't. And he would tell me the same thing each time I called him. So I called Joe Link and he came and looked and said the cracks should be fixed because the ice would ruin the drive. Joe Link said he would come the next week and fix it himself. But he didn't call or come back. So I call Joe Link back and he said he would call me the next day and tell me when he would come and fix this. Well Joe Link hasn't come or called. My friend apologized and said he was very disappointed in Joe Link. And so am I. The Links collected a total of $18,392.60 from me. And this is how they treat me. I hope this review will help keep this from happening to someone else. I can be contacted at dthomas88@yahoo.com if anyone has questions. This is a continuation of the first review I did of JOE LINK CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION. Since Joe Link didn’t do anything about the wide cracks in my driveway I bought some caulk and tried to fill them enough to keep water out and ice forming in them. Now a piece of concrete has popped out. Where this happened the concrete is very thin. Less than an inch and there’s only dirt. I can push a screwdriver into the ground. I was promised 4 inch thick concrete and 5 to 6 inches thick along the edges. I called Joe Link and at first he thought I was someone else. When he realized who I was he hung up. I didn’t get a chance to tell him why I was calling. So I called John Link, his son, and tried to tell him. He thought I was calling about the cracks again. He did some yelling and said he had more important things to deal with. And that was as far as I got. Stay away from Joe Link and John Link and don’t get scammed. And if that’s not enough, when my driveway was poured John Link told me I really needed to get it sealed. I ask how long should I wait. He said with this concrete the sooner the better. So he sealed it 3 days later. Recently I found out that new concrete should cure a minimum of 30 days before sealing. Because if you don’t it will never have the strength that properly poured concrete will have. It says this on the bucket of the sealer they used. Joe Link came recommended and I trusted him. He seemed okay at that time. But now I know Joe Link and his son are no good. I hope this review will help someone. Any questions email me. Dthomas88@yahoo.com
