I am not the "person" who recommended the web page but it is always too bad
when the blame gets shuffled down the line.
Is not the finisher, the resposnsibility of the contractor who took on the
job?
I believe you are dealing with spalling:(maybe)
Concrete spalling is a common occurance, especially on exterior surfaces
that are exposed to freeze and thaw cycles. It's like scaling, but involves
bigger chunks breaking loose for no apparant reason. There are many causes
such as improper finishing methods and curing methods. Simple repairs can be
done fill the void and prevent further deterioration.
Anyway, the General Contractor should step up to the plate and repair or
replace the damage.
