Dynamite Stamped Concrete
Update: Wed. April 20th, 2011
Mistakes can happen in any business. What is important is to fix them and make your clients happy. This company has taken the necessary steps to rectifying this complaint. Great job Dynamite we’re always happy to show a resolution when someone takes the steps to fix mistakes and make clients happy. The following information was received from the original complaining party to Penciltrick.
I am pleased to announce Sid has been in contact with me and the issues I have had with the cement are being fixed. Sid is sincere and is fixing the problems. I would used Dynamite Stamped again.
Thanks for your help.
The original complaint continues below for reference purposes:
We recently installed a pool and hired a stamped concrete contractor to complete the concrete around the pool and to finish a patio for us, we had saved for years to finally have our dream backyard and this was the final step!. We researched and looked around and found Dynamite Stamped Concrete, we checked references, looked at their work and then we met the owner Sid, he was very helpful and promised us we would not be disappointed.
Once the job was ready to commence things started to go south fast (after they had the deposit), first he was delayed by a few days because he claimed he was sick, he would never answer phone calls and only the random text. Then once they finally formed it took another week to show up and finally pour the concrete!
They were a bunch of pigs, there was so much dust my pool filter got clogged, they didn’t try and cover it up, there was concrete all over my fence. Another 4 days passed and nobody came to clean off the cement, it rained and now my pool is again full of this stamped powder they use, I go out and try and clean it best I can. Multiple calls and texts later someone finally shows up to clean and seal it 5 more days later Once the sealer has been applied it starts to bubble and leaves marks all over the place. Sid has never returned to fix this problem! Don’t ever deal with Dynamite Stamped Concrete of Brampton – Sid is a con artist!

Dynamite Stamped Concrete is now on MCS (Ministry of Consumer Service) beware list. They will take you deposit and run. Beware of this con artist.

We had the same problem with SID. He takes your money and runs. Our patio bubbled up every where and NEVER came back to fix it.
DO NOT USE DYNAMITE STAMPED CONCRETE.
I can’t believe he is still in business!!!
Sid is all talk and full of s**t.

I strongly suggest anyone have problem in dealing with Dynamite Stamped Concrete, Sid (Mr Sidionio Andrew Teixeira), his wife & his company, to file a complain with Ministry of Consumer Service, so the MCS can review & investigate. That way that can’t do more harm to other. Filing the complaint as easy as 1-2-3.

To whom it may concern …This complaint is coming e from the a street in which my company did a total of ten houses on that street ,when our company prices a job for 500 sq ft and the customer wants more than originally signed sq footage and does not want to pay for the extra footage. In my business 200 sq ft is a cost of $2,000 point being u can not sign a contract for 500sqft and expect 700sqft it is not fair to the company . Doing to many jobs on the same street can create competion and jealousy between neigh

The above allegations are unfair and out of context.
Dynamite Stamped has been serving Brampton and areas for 18 years now. We have never had any complaints and have only received good references for our work. The above blame is being spread by and individual who we tried to have a business relationship with, however the requirements that the individual was demanding last minute of the project were way beyond the original quoted contract. When we informed the customer that a change in the requirements will change the quote, they were very displeased and asked us to leave after the materials had been already purchased and the crew was ready to go.
Alternatively we had successfully completed many jobs that week on the same street. When any job is completed we give instructions to the home
owners to follow, so that the new materials can settle. However, one customer was refusing to follow those instructions and continuously disturbed the new placements. We did our best to correct the problems that were being caused by the misuse of the homeowner. However there is only so much we could do.

I had my backyard and walkway done this past summer and was completly impressed with the quality of work done. The job had exceeded my expectations. The crew was attentive and made sure nothing was left behind. I highly recommend Sid to any friends and neighbours. Great Job!!!

People are defininetly entitled to free expression but when free expression is liable you should be careful what you put out in the world of the web. We have had work done in the past by Dynamite Concrete and suggest them to friends and colleagues looking for realiable, efficient and knowledgable individuals in pattern concrete. The workers are extremely respectful and hard working people and as the owner “Sidonio” otherwise known as “Sid” demands of his crew.

I would like to inform everyone that I am the person who originally posted on Penciltrick.com and complained about Sid and the way my pool was completed. I would like everyone to know that Sid has contacted me and is in the process of fixing the bubbles and cracks in my cement. He says he will make it right and correct the issues we have experienced. I do believe Sid is being sincere and will follow through on his firm promise to fix this. As a man and business man, I commend Sid for fixing what went wrong. I will keep everyone here updated and once the job is finished I will post some pictures. I would like to say that whoever “My last word” is I suggest you stop posting my original complaint on various websites and deal directly with Sid. Thank you for your time and Sid I look forward to seeing the completed un-blemised final product.

I would just like to say after reading one or two complaints I am amazed that there are people out there that try to ruin a man that’s true to him self and to the bussines. He dosnt just do excellent work he a man of his word and not a con!! Sid has a heart of gold and does not tries to be a scammer but a true honest person that gets the job done RIGHT (best in stamping) L Tee

We had our driveway done by Sid and there are huge cracks. Sid did come back and fix the problem, however, the work was not done properly. The driveway is cracking again. He does not return calls. After our work was completed, we recommended him to our neighbour. They are so disappointed with his attitude and work. Please beware. This matter will be reported to the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services.

I have been leaving messages for Sid since April 2011 asking that he return to my house to fix the three sets of steps, cracks on the porch, cracks in the flower bed and chips out of the driveway curbs that he and his company installed in June, 2010. Sid did come by in June, 2011 to take a look at the problems, and promised that he would be back in two weeks to fix the problems. I have left messages for Sid since that time, and was told, when he actually answered the phone, that he would be by in two weeks. It is now September, and have been told by Sid that he was not going to come back and fix anything and that it was my problem to fix. Sid is a very smooth talker and is quick to say that he is a `man of his word`. I don`t believe Sid honourable and he is definitely not a `man of his word`. I regret ever having met this man! BEWARE OF SID AND HIS COMPANY!

Sid is a bully and will try and intimidate you He should not be in business and is trash. Nobody should run a company the way he does and nobody should be treated the way he treats his Customers – good luck Sid, you’re not going to be in business long with a horrible reputation like you have. I would never hire him again.

We should ban together and start a lawsuit against this guy, his shady pratices and his poor workman ship. If someone is interested in starting I would be in on the lawsuit.

Stay away from Sid and Dynamite stamped Concrete, he did our driveway, front porch, and a walk way down the side of our house, it cracked over the winter first year, second year he had a guy come by our house and fill the cracks with unmatched concrete color, he said,” ohhh yeahhh, this will be alright” till next year and we’ll fix it right, he doesn’t answer texts…phone calls, or anything, totally unprofessional, now I have a mess, he’s ignoring, hey Sid have your Lawyer call me!! I’m no competition or slandering other contractor, I’m an upset …ripped off client.
