SRM Concrete

I worked with exclusive concrete construction (ECC) and paid their contractor (Alex Sanchez) in full after the job was completed in March of 2023. My contract for the job was with ECC, not SRM (Smyrna Ready Mix) . Two months later, I got a notice in the mail asking me for 1500$ because ECC didnt not pay their bill to SRM. They threaten to get a lien on my property if I didnt pay: morally wrong! It is the equivalent of going to Target and buying a toaster and then getting a bill from the toaster manufacturer because Target didnt pay their vendor. Now I have to pay for an attorney to deal with their incompetence for failing to get payment at time of their delivery to their customer (ECC). I am the final destination costumer at the end of the chain and have zero knowledge involving concrete and construction nor was I provided any notice in regards to the legality of the above at the time of project completion, I find it unfathomable that the final customer is responsible for the incompetence of both companies .

I wasted a whole week researching this company. All of the reviews were very positive. When I interviewed at the Baytown location to work at the Conroe plant, I was told that the starting pay was only $20 hourly when the ad stated $23 hourly. The videos on the SRM YouTube channel that I watched did not match up with what the hiring manager said with regards to rain. Manager said you will not get paid if it is raining when the videos stated that you would be compensated. When I arrived for orientation and was prepared to watch the 3 hour video, I was given paperwork to sign. They wanted me to sign a year contract. It was explained to me that the turnover rate was so high that they required the contract to be signed. Texas is a "Right to Work " state meaning that you can quit or be terminated at anytime. Since I questioned the legality of the contract and all of the other red flags, I walked out.
