“Sergio's Concrete, Inc. in Springfield, VA”

Susann F.
4/23/22

I needed to have my driveway, steps, and stoops replaced and wanted to install a patio in my back yard. I search for a good concrete contractor and meet Sergio Olivar with Sergio's Concrete, Inc. Sergio and his team did an excellent job in doing the project I have asked him to do. He and his team are very professional, hard working, on time everyday, and made sure the job was completed to my satisfaction. He made sure area was cleaned before they left. He is very reasonable in price. If you are looking to have concrete work done, I highly recommend Sergio's Concrete, Inc. They did a top notch job for me!

“Poor advice for federal employees”

Michael D.
11/27/21

Checkbook.org designs a Guide to Federal Employee Health Benefits for federal employees - but unfortunately it is severely inaccurate and could end up costing you thousands of dollars. The site often ends up recommending HDHP with claims that their members rate them highly on quality and coming up with forecast costs that are on par or less than normal insurance plans. However, what they fail to tell you is that they do not account for the cost of prescription medications prior to hitting the plan deductible, which is high. Some drugs, even generics, can cost twice as much as they would under a regular insurance plan, leaving you spending the majority if not all of your HSA funds on prescription medications.

I'm surprised this is the first review. This review is based my experience over 2 years ago. This is a good site with valuable and extensive reports and ratings on service providers, plus insightful articles to use as shopping guides. It's a must have for the educated consumer. After joining however, I was aggravated when they site tries to upsell me to a larger more encompassing membership. To get all the industries listed on their site you have to upgrade. I was furious; to think that a consumer protection and advocate service would use this type of ploy. I believe there was a grace period to cancel and the upsell was a fair price. The rub is the marketing and sales tactic they use to get you to buy. You could end up spending 25-50% more than what you expected to get what you thought you were getting all along, whatever the price was.
