Need concrete finisher help

[Bertfish]

I need someone decent with concrete to help me and some help pour a 24x24 pad in my new garage. Dad and I don't think we can do a decent finish job on it although we can handle the amount of concrete. I'll do all prep including rebar etc, need help with the pour. PM me as I am rarely on here anymore.

Concrete laborers and finishers are always hanging out at the Home Depot looking for work.

I'm not ready to depend on random people from a parking lot

That's a small slab. How much are you saving doing it yourself? I just paid $8/sf complete.

I'm in OC so I'm not sure I'd be any help. Excel Masonry.

People are always looking for concrete help on this forum so here's a rare Bertfish post with an endorsement.

Dave Bentley and his crew did a fantastic job on this pad for a very fair price. I hate paying to hire folks but damn I'm glad this time. His guys worked their tales off hand hard troweling this til after dark yesterday; cold weather slowed the hardening and he couldn't use his power trowel but that didn't stop them.

Hes located in the Manchester area.

Bertfish, I am glad I could refer you and all worked out.
Having done concrete slabs and sidewalks in my younger days like 30-8 years ago, I know how hard the work is to get a slab perfect. I am glad that David and crew took good care of you and you didn't have to bust your butt and maybe not have the greatest help or worse, not be able to get the finish as good as those who do the work day in and day out.

All of the above have happened to me with crete, and it was usually when a friend asked me to " help" them on a pour. Then I show up to find kids and Harry homeowner wheelbarrows, and not enough adults to pull a decent screed.
