We are building a new home in college station in a very nice neighborhood. From the beginning we requested stained concrete floors. The day the contactors poured the slab we had problems. The builder forgot to mention to the concrete contrator that the house was to include the optional study in the back of the garage, so the study was poured at garage level. No one noticed this until I arrived on scene at 5pm. They rushed to try and get some concrete but with no luck as the plant was closing already, they poured a cap with the left over concrete around the house. The slab was still wet but they were finishing the other side already.
Fast forward to this previous week were the floor was cleaned and prepped for stain. Stain options were put down in the master were we planned to do wood floors. Color was picked and the stain was put down friday. It looked awesome, the stain contractor said he would be back sunday to seal it. Come sunday the wife and I get back from out of town around 4 and went to look at the floor again. The concrator had not sealed it yet but there were hug problems. Very large streaks and blotches, drips and drags of concrete that didnt take the stain. Spots were buckets set and boards layed during constrution. The study was a diffrent color, lighter and large parts that didnt take the stain as well. All very visiable and looks horrible. Called the stain guy immediately and he met us within 20mins. He says this is the worse he has ever seen were acid base products were spilled. Not really much he can do besides pouring an overlay which we talked about. Im not really leaning to that direction as I dont want problems down the road.
What options do you think I have? The builder is at fault for not taking the proper procedure and notifying his contractors to keep the floors clean etc.
I appologize in advance for mispelled words or grammer issues. Phone gigs
