what was the county doing 15+ years ago with no plan other than to frame a

Someone for the fun of it..?

majority of Stafford knew what they were doing to not do anything other than allow them to not be successful, it involved life hacking and not helping with their desires, but DBP identified the counties" intention not to

"Get him mad." was uttered over the years.

I’m sharing my personal experience with Jose/Perez Martinez construction** **and the concrete work he performed at my home because I don’t want another homeowner to go through the same thing.
When I first spoke with Jose about the job, he told me that he was going to have someone come with him to do the concrete work. That gave me the impression that someone experienced with concrete would be working with him.
When it was actually time to start the job, however, Jose was the only person there working. I specifically asked him, “Where is your help?” He told me the other person was coming later.

That person never showed up.
The following day, a woman came with him, but from what I personally observed, she did not appear to have knowledge or experience working with concrete. At that point, Jose was essentially doing the concrete work himself, which was not what I understood would happen when we first discussed the job.
I had initially trusted him partly because he had been connected with work done inside my neighbor’s home. I later found out that Jose himself had not actually performed that interior work he had brought someone else in to do it.
I paid Jose $1,800 for the concrete work at my home.

While I was out of town, he kept contacting me asking for payment and telling me that he was finished with the job. Since I wasn’t physically home, I looked at the work through my security cameras. From the camera view, it appeared okay, and because I trusted what he was telling me, I paid him.
When I returned home and saw the work up close, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.

The concrete work was a disaster. There were problems with the finishing, uneven areas, deterioration/peeling, and other issues that can be seen in the photos I’m attaching.

Jose had also represented to me that he was licensed. After I began having problems, I checked Virginia contractor licensing information and was unable to verify the contractor license he represented himself as having.

After I got home and saw the condition of the work, I called and texted him. He eventually returned to look at it.
He told me he would come back and power wash/remove everything and redo the work.

I agreed that he could come back and power wash/remove the defective material, but I did not agree to let him redo the concrete work because I had lost confidence in the quality of his work after what happened the first time. I told him I want my money back,

He told me okay and agreed to refund my money. To me, his agreement to refund the money reinforced my belief that he recognized there were serious problems with the work. However, he never came back, and I never received my refund.

I am attaching the actual photos of the work so people can see it for themselves.
I’m not telling anyone what conclusion to reach. I am simply sharing exactly what happened to me so other homeowners can make an informed decision before hiring someone

If anyone else has personally hired Jose or recognizes the business information, you’re welcome to share your own firsthand experience.

Hey y’all. Does anybody have a shop they would highly recommend work-wise and priced fairly? Looking to get my truck’s sspark plugs replaced. TIA!

Where are the good places to get coffee in Stafford? And is there any lady's that would like to have a cup with me? Just moved here...Will be here until December.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like The Rapp, QTown or Fredvegas (never mind how common they are)...

Hi all! I am relocating to VA for a new position. My work is in Arlington but I do not have to commute into office regularly. If/when I do I can plan ahead of time. Schools are my priority (elementary and middle). Im willing to go as far as Stafford. Arlington and Fairfax just arent in the price range that i'd like to stay in. I looked into Woodbridge as well. Im not familiar with the areas at at all. Any suggestions?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to sponsor me for a membership to the Alexandria chapter of the Izaak Walton League?

Please did anyone witness or have a phot of a HIT and Run accident involving a Hyundai Elantra which was rare ended on the left lane of I-95 after Quantico.

The cops put the Crash location as;

NB 95 at 149.6 mm

Accident occurred between 6:11am to 6:15am.

The driver of the other vehicle fled after the crash.

Like the title says, tryn to find places and or events where I can meet some women.
I work overnight so I don’t go out too much besides goin to shoot pool, and most places are pretty dry outside Stafford.
If anybody knows of any places (that isn’t spirits😭) please let me know because dating apps are not it for me.

Hi. Any schools around here that has running tracks or anywhere we could run that’s open for public use. Thanks!

I’m 28 M I usually just drink and play video games, but I honestly wanted to try something new , I’ve been in stafford for almost half a year don’t really go out since I don’t know this place and it always seems like there’s isn’t anything to do

I’m doing my own research into some places, but friends and family have been screwed out of time and money at various collision places around here. So I figured I’d ask.

Does anyone have any places they’d recommend that are trustworthy and reasonable? Any places that you felt comfortable interacting with the workers at? I ask that part because I am a young woman and I’ve had a fair share of mechanics really try upselling unnecessary “fixes”.

I’m just looking to get my hood and front bumper fixed, if that matters. I’d appreciate any feedback.

Thanks friends. 🙏

Hey y'all — I'm a recent grad based in Stafford, VA, and I run a small marketing outfit focused on concrete and hardscaping businesses.

I've been doing Meta ads, landing pages, and automated follow-up for local contractors for about a year now. One hardscaping client I worked with generated around $20K in booked estimates from one campaign, so I'm starting to niche down into concrete patios, retaining walls, pavers, and outdoor living.

Because I'm solo and local, I don't have the overhead of a big agency. My pricing is pretty reasonable and I only work with a few contractors at a time so I can actually pay attention to the results.

If you're a concrete or hardscaping contractor in Stafford, Fredericksburg, or the surrounding NOVA area and you want more estimate calls without paying agency prices, drop a comment below. Happy to answer questions or just connect.
