Round in circles on the cause of the poor hone finish with no one taking responsibility. I wouldn't recommend either the concrete company or the aggregate installer.

The company that hones it reckons its the result of organic material in cement, while the concrete company reckons stones are just missing. Either way, a lousy finish we didn't expect. Couldn't be happier with our curtain and blinds that have been installed. We used Vision a Decor and would recommend their service and range of curtains.
