I have 12 foot x 21 foot concrete patio that cracked down the middle
after 30 days of install thanks to Veranda Homes LLC of Wilmington,NC.
I tried to fill in the crack but it looks bad and the builder won't
fix it.
Any ideas how I can cover it up with pavers or would the best thing be
to tear it up and replace it?

Build a deck over it. That will give you so much grief in maintainance
that when you finally get rid of it the concrte will look great.

You have a 21 ft span with no control joints and an 1/8" crack on a
patio that is 30 days old. That is not normal and I wouldn't accept
it and would get the building inspector out there. This should not
happen with concrete work that is done properly. Is the crack
running approximately perpendicular to the 21ft span? Concrete
shrinks when it cures and if you have a span that long without a
control joint, that could be the problem.

I'm thinking the building inspector was the problem(lack of
inspection) as with my other problems.
