    How long ago was this poured? Complain immediately to the contractor and threaten to sue if he does not correct this mess.

    The spots seem to be just where water condensated on the surface, give the guy a call and ask if he would pressure wash the surface and see if that cleans off the top spottiness.

    Did the contractor spray apply a concrete sealer?

    If so what you are seeing is completely normal and will disappear once the concrete has fully cured.
