They came out on June 1st and inspected and stated that I had one corner that needed to have pillars put under it to prevent any further sinking. I told them that I would make a phone call and then if I needed an estimate in writing, I would cal them back. Shortly after making my phone call, I called Louisiana Foundation Repair back and advised them that I would in fact need a written estimate of the findings as well as cost to repair. I once again emailed them on June 3rd stating the same thing. On Wednesday, June 5, I had not heard from them so I called and they stated that they "decided to discuss this with Craig Sikes since he is the real estate agent that handles this area." Craig Sikes had nothing to do with this nor should he have been contacted. I have since called two other foundation repair business' that have stated that they have personally had to fix "problems" that were created by Louisiana Foundation Repair's work. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

I had several other mechanics take a look at the vehicle and gave the wrong diagnosis. I went by the business to explain the what was going on with my vehicle. The gas guage and speed odometer were not working properly. I could not tell how fast I was going or how much gas I had in the vehicle. We scheduled date for me to bring the vehicle back so they could run test to find out what was wrong. I took the vehicle back on the agreed date and they explained what was wrong and told me they needed to order an instrument cluster. They gave me a date the instrument cluster would arrive and set a date to bring the vehicle back so they could do the repairs. I took the vehicle back and they completed the repair the same day. I like the fact that they do not have your vehicle setting around collecting dust when they know they will not get to it until a certain time. They make an appointment for you to bring your vehicle in and they repair your vehicle that day. I love that about them. I think their prices were compatible with any other auto service. They were professional and efficient.

"Total rip off..signed a contract to have my roof replaced, and was planning to get other done after that..took $ 6405 advance for material, rest $ 4000 was due at completion of the job. torn my roof, made a mess in the yard and all around the house, no call no show for 3 days. Multiple calls and messages from me requesting to cover the roof as we had 90% forecast of rain. The material he had delivered on site was not even one third (I was told by the other contractor who we hired to clean up his mess). DO NOT HIRE HIM. I WILL BE SEEKING A LEGAL ACTION SOON."

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Ball, LA
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.
