Ehhhhh. My guy was used bc his expertise in poured foundations. I assumed he who does that also does the slab.... Which is not always true. My slab is fine, one minor crack for the settling below. But all is all, I think you can find better work for a better price.

Re: Need a recommendation for concrete work
I believe the Portuguese WERE the ethnicity you would want. A Mexican and four bags of sakrete would prob take care of it.
The majority of the " mexicans" are usually not from Mexico at least around here. It's not socially acceptable to refer to them as wet backs though. That might be considered racist!
