Bricks, Masonry, Asphalt and Concrete - poor concrete slab job

A concrete slab was poorly done it is about two inches to low and unlevel also it is not as smooth as I would like it to be. Is there a product that I could use or how could I biuld it up two inches without redoiing the entire job

If the job was done by a professional, I would suspect that you could contact them and let them know of your dissatisfaction with the job. How thick was the slab poured? Did they rope it off, and build it up with boards for leveling? Also, how did they finish the surface? I realize that you don't want to do the job over, but you might find that it is better off to contact the person who did the job. Possibly less of a hassle on your end as to the outcome of your project.

Thanks for you reply. The concrete slab is about 10 inches high
it was framed out the finish seems to be broomed out the and the broomstrokes are extreemly visible the sides of the of the slab are uneven but they may be grinded down i assume. My greatest concern is the height and the poor finish of the top of the slab, and the visible slope in the leveling. Im hoping there is a finishing product that may be added to the top of the slab that may add the two inches and some how smooth out the top of the slab. The so called professional who did the work cannot be reached so he is not gonna repair his poor work.
thanks

Is the slab flat and sloping away from the house and this is where you get the 2" drop, or is it a uneven surface. In a broom finish it should be rough for traction when the surface is wet, I assume this is an outdoor slab. Could you post a picture of it?

thanks for the reply frank
The slope is running along side the house not running away from the house to alow for drainage. the slab should be two inches higher the contractor made the slab two inches lower than I wanted, the broom brushing is understandibly for tracksion bbut the brush strokes are very deep and unsightly and in some areas aof the slab are deeper than others.I will try to post a picture
in a day or two. I believe that tha slab was poorly framed, and the contactor did not posses a level or just did not use one.
the original slab had a crack that ran though it so I wanted to replace the slab to make the front of the house nicer but it looks worse than the one that was originally there.

Here is a link of a place where they have large area leveling products. www.super-tek.com/superlevel.htm I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for but it might help.

I checked out the link and the portland product available looks good. Im am assuming that all I have to do is frame the slab level, and mix and pour the cement my concern is wil the product last and not crack Im assuming it will not.
thanks Stacey

To be honest, I'm not sure about that question. I just suggest that to some of my customers when they have large areas to rework. As far as feedback from my customers, they always seal their slabs, and I hear nothing negative from them. I know that this isn't much help to that question, but maybe you could find out more about that aspect through their customer service. Sorry I couldn't help you any more than that.
