Service rep asked for keys and pulled the car in right away for repair. I waited in the lobby, which is comfortable. They have a coffee machine but I had brought my own. I had also brought my own reading material as I knew it would be at least 30 to 40 minutes. It was 40 minutes when he came back with my keys and had finished the repair. He went over the warranty information with me a little(the rep I talked with on the phone had told me about the warranty in more detail) and put the receipt in the warranty packet. I received a discount due to being a State Farm insurance holder. He washed the car once finished with the work. They would have vacuumed but I had just done that earlier in the day, so it didn't need it. Upon arriving to my car, I looked for area of repair and it took me a minute to find it. The ding was in the middle of the windshield, so even before it was repaired, you really had to look for it. It now looks like a small drop of super glue but I doubt anyone would even notice unless they are looking really hard for it on purpose. They did a great job! Fast, efficient, and affordable.

He showed us some sample stamp designs and color choices. We picked what we wanted and he gave us an estimate. They came back, dug out and framed the new sidewalk. The concrete was delivered and poured. It was leveled and then stamped. Then a few days later it was cut and sealed. We loved it. That was in May. In August I noticed a crack all the way across the sidewalk, plus some minor cracks throughout. I called Jim and he came out to look at it. At first he said that was just the nature of concrete - it cracks. I pointed out to him a section of new concrete in our driveway that was about 2 years old and still looked like the day it was poured - perfect. Then he said that the sidewalk was cut in the wrong direction and that was why it cracked. He said he would come out in a couple of weeks and patch the crack that ran all the way across the sidewalk. About a month after he came out, now remember he said he'd be back to repair the crack in about 2 weeks - the sealer started coming off. So now we have a cracked sidewalk with light colored blotches on it. It's now December and we haven't heard from him since August. Nope, don't think we'll be calling him for any more concrete work. Oh, by the way, he was recommend to me by Michel Concrete Inc. in Springfield, IL. I had called Michel Concrete from their reviews here on Angie's List. They were booked up so they referred me to Jim Stark.

I read on Angie's list, after I'd made the appt, about how they found things wrong and tried to get you to do a service contract and do needed repairs so I was leary - almost cancelled my appt, but didn't since it was already on their calendar. The outside unit had lots of dirt and cobwebs - in asking if they "blow" those out, while they have it open the answer was "no". In opening the inside unit in the basement there was mold on it and it needed some cleaning. Again, they noted that and added that to their list. They did check the freon too. I was having no problems with the heat pump but wanted to have it looked at before it got too hot to make sure there were no obvious problems, needing immediate attention. Again, I thought it would include cleaning and oiling any parts. Then they sat down with me and put a paper in front of me for my signature, like it was something I had already agreed to - the service contract for a year. They went over the 1 year contract and what that entailed, but I declined. They did say they could go ahead and clean it for me if I paid them $134 more, on top of the $59.95. I again declined at that point. I had a refrigerator coupon for $25.00 off, I then gave them. They said it didn't apply to what I had done but did say I could call the office to talk to them about it. He said it was about 3 years old but the coupon did not have an expiration date on it. I did not call the office to check any further about it. I did appreciate knowing what they saw and about a part that i might want to get replaced on the outside unit, for about $300 but since it is still working, I declined that as well. It was helpful that they wrote it all down on the receipt they left me, so I can refer to it later, if needed. They seemed knowledgeable but I didn't care for how it was presented,. I probably will not use them again. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/springfield/mike-williams-plumbing%2C-heating-and-air-conditioning-reviews-447604.htm"},"position":9}]}

Curt was great with the home inspection process. He made sure to explain things to me that needed repair by sellers vs things that weren’t a huge deal. He was always very responsive with any questions/concerns I had!

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Athens, IL
The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
