Picking between a 'quick fix' and a full redo on a client's patio...

Had a client last month who wanted their cracked concrete patio fixed for a party in two weeks. I gave them two choices: a full tear-out and repour for $4,500, or a cheaper patch job with a special overlay for about $1,200. They went with the cheap fix... and it rained for three days straight right after I applied it. The whole thing washed away into their flower beds, leaving a weird, lumpy mess. I had to eat the cost of the materials and redo it properly for free after the party. Anyone else have a 'fast and cheap' plan blow up in their face like that?

Wait, it washed away completely? That’s brutal.

Remember that time, harpermorgan, when a quick sealant job just slid right off a wet driveway?
