The only company I can find is WCK. Anyone know of any other places to contact? Just need to get my back porch repoured to unfrick the grade and other stupid shite the previous owners did.

So you need to remove existing concrete and pour new?
Any general contractor could help you

I'm hoping to just do a skim coat over the top.

What's the problem with your existing concrete?

He poured my patio last summer. Super nice older black gentleman. I got 5 bids. He was by far the cheapest and he did an outstanding job. Showed up on time, completed the job and cleaned up his mess.

The only way to do that is some kind of epoxy and would cost too much. I'm sorry to say but you will háve to demo the old and pour a new one. Unless you want to raise the whole thing up several inches

Would not recommend. It will begin to de-laminate within two years, probably sooner. Using concrete, you need a depth of twice whatever nominal sized aggregate you are using.
#7 stone is 1" nominal so you would need a minimum of 2"
#57 is 1 1/2" so you need 3"
I would recommend you demo the old slab and replace the whole thing.

The frick nuggets that owned the house before me poured a new pad up against the slab, but didn't tie it in or dig footings. They then tiled over both surfaces.
Their new pad sunk around 1/2", cracking all of the tile, and the drainage is now screwed.

This sounds like a complete redo. Good luck. But pretty much any homebuilder could at the very least tell you who to call for an estimate. That's my best guess, man.
