The quote was concise and reasonable. They were very patient through weather delays and a delay due to a possible plumbing issue in the driveway. Once that was resolved, they came, added some extra gravel and completed the driveway. We are very satisfied with their professionalism and the quality of work.

By phone, we shared our issues: winter damage on driveway and cracks that were worsening as well as front porch cement steps that had pulled away about two inches from brick porch and subsequent settling that also created significant cracks in walkway with uneven levels. We had read alot about repairing and sealing driveways and wanted to learn more about those options, Mike Barrett is a natural collaborative teacher and described the process involved and what the final product would look like. We also discussed options of replacing concrete. By phone we discussed the issues and he asked appropriate questions to further understand our issue, concerns and desires and arrived within a few days to view our property and to give us options and estimates.He was terrific explaining what he thought occurred (no reinforcing bars or anchorage to porch to prevent steps from settling away from porch). He also discussed the driveway damage and offered options to repair and/or replace with pros and cons of each . Within 24 hours we had options and estimates emailed and we then waited for a competitors estimate and then made our decision to go with Mike Barrett and Concrete Design Works. Mike's estimate was very competitive and detailed. Because we will be putting our house on the market in a few months we elected to replace all of the concrete including driveway, walkway and steps. Once we made the decision to replace with Concrete Design Works, Inc., everything went pretty quickly. Within a week Mike was here with a machine to break up the old concrete, the next day he removed all of the old concrete and then added additional stone followed by a machine used to condense the stone to create a great foundation. The weather then delayed us a day, but then reinforcing bar was cut and placed to support the concrete (missing in the original concrete). Multiple rods were attached to the vertical wall of the brick porch to support the steps. The concrete was poured over the course of the next two days. Mike is a perfectionist (in a positive way) and worked the surfaces to a beautiful finish. It took 4-5 days to complete the job- so we had to plan to not have access out of garage for those days. (car out of driveway etc.). After completion, he also replaced soil and seeded grass where the wooden supports had left a gap. Each evening he and his crew cleaned up the area and gave us an update on the progress. His communication is terrific and we really appreciated his suggestions and the options available for our project. We very much loved his attention to detail and professionalism. Neighbors have all remarked how nice our driveway looks and how hard Mike was working for days to really improve our curb appeal. We highly recommend Mike Barrett and encourage the Angie's List Community to consider and choose Mike Barrett and Concrete Design Works for your concrete needs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ky/winchester/concrete-design-works%2C-inc-reviews-7490650.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"GLEN GALIS CONCRETE CONTRACTOR","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kathy L."},"reviewBody":"
I called Damico Paving on May 13 to request an inspection of the sunken and cracked area in front of my three car garage. Brad called next day to confirm May 15 for visit. He recommended that we remove the old asphalt and replace subsurface stone as needed, saw cut edge of old pavement and then install new asphalt. He also recommended that after installation was complete that we should have sealer applied to entire driveway. We accepted his estimate of $1400 for this work. His written estimate of the work exceeds Geneva village standard for asphalt repair. Brad called May 24th to confirm that the work would be done May 30th, weather permitting. Brad visited on May 30th to confirm that the work was to be done that afternoon and left a written copy what we should expect to see and how we should not drive our cars on the repair area for 4 day.
Luis and his crew arrived within 15mins of the expected time of 2PM, explained what was going to be done. Safety cones were setup, equipment off loaded from trailer. Old asphalt was removed with a pickaxe and front loader. The men were very careful around the siding and fence near the repair area. There was some new stone added, rolled and made ready for the new asphalt. A saw cut was made to give a straight edge and a very finished appearance. Luis asked that we close the garage door and windows due to blowing dust from the cutting. The fresh asphalt was VERY HOT and the crew worked quickly to fill in the repair area. They rolled and hand tamped the repair. A very experienced team that worked together to get the job done. All the old asphalt was cleaned up from work area. Job was done by 4PM. The patch looks GREAT and surface has just the right slope so no water collects in front of the garage door like it used to before the repair.

"We had our asphalt driveway removed and replaced. The original work looked good - it was completed when we were not at home - bad timing on our part. After one year, we reported some cracking, sent pictures as requested and was told it was normal settling. Year 2, cracks were more pronounced, we sent pictures as requested, and were told someone would come our to look at it. We were ghosted several times, didn't receive return phone calls - it was very frustrating. Couldn't get past customer service to speak to anyone. No owner, no manager, no project manager. Long story short, they refused to "do business with us anymore" and wouldn't stand by their work. Pictures attached of year 3 - don't work with this company."

"I'd really like to give a better review, but the communication with Blue Construction is just bad. I spoke with Nancy & she gave me a date they would start work. Nobody showed up that morning. I called & found out the email telling me a different start date was sent to a wrong email address. They had a completely different customers work order under my name & it took several conversations with them for them to realize this. So most of the information I was given for the first half of the job was incorrect, late, or non existent. I had to call my town to confirm their work passed the initial inspection & call Blue Construction to tell them before they would continue work. They did take $200 off the balance due because of all the issues & that was appreciated. The quality of work is really good. I am extremely pleased with the end result but I don't think I will use them again because of how bad the communication was. Also, I had to call my town after the work was completed to schedule."

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Geneva, 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.
