We called 4 different contractors, John from Don Green's Dirt Service was the only one that called us back. He came out within the week and gave us a quote. It took time trying to discuss with 10 people. John stopped out for a second time and gave us 3 different options as price was a concern. Once we all agreed on price/work, John and his team were able to come out the next week and complete work. A few of us watched the whole process. You could tell how efficient they were as doing this many times. Work was completed in 1 day and for quote amount. There was extra gravel used but John did not charge us any extra. The road looks great and concerns were fixed. John and his team took the time to walk us thru the project and inspect before payment. They did such a great job on this we are having them back in the spring to clear part of our land.

"We purchased a deal for the service thru Angie's List. They came out and measured and told us it would be an additional $120. There were some delays but it was weather-related so not their fault. They came out - did the job - the drive looks great. I would use this company again. "
"We had a great experience with Justin and his crew. Initially we contacted him to replace some 65yr old windows, and he was the only contractor to bring to our attention that we had hail damage on the window wraps, siding, gutters, and roof. His experience really helped us thru the insurance claim process and it ended up being a huge cost savings for us. We were so impressed with his customer service, we decided to have him convert our 1-season porch into a 3-season porch, install tile flooring, replace some doors, and paint the interior and exterior of our home. He listened to our ideas, gave us options and suggestions, and helped create solutions for all of the projects. He's like a fiduciary for home improvement and we relied on his expertise to make some great choices to improve our home."
"The workers on site were wonderful -- we were very happy with the work as it was being performed, and they were very careful with surrounding area (drive, sidewalk, lawn) and did an excellent job overall. They were friendly and very respectful of us and our home/yard - a joy to have around. My dissatisfaction was with the level of responsiveness I received from the owner after accepting his bid and sending a deposit check in (up until the deposit was sent, he was very quick to give a bid, explain the process, and return calls to answer questions). After being told that the landscape crew was "a few weeks out" it took about 6 weeks for the job to happen, and that was after several calls to the owner to get an update on status. I understand that other projects ahead of mine may fall behind schedule or go beyond scope, however I was never updated on timing at all and was left wondering if he even received the paperwork with the deposit check. The only proactive note I received from him was the email on Friday at 5p indicating that the crew can start Monday morning, and 'will someone be there that morning'. Upon project completion, my husband inadvertently gave payment in full, per the invoice, to the lead worker at the site (not factoring in the deposit check I sent in 6 weeks earlier to secure the bid). After immediately contacting the owner to let him know about the mistake, I asked him not to cash the check. I received no reply, and 3 weeks later the check was cashed. Now I need to go thru the hassle of trying to get that deposit money refunded. While the work performed was wonderful, the business management and customer service leaves a lot to be desired. "
"I was absolutely delighted to deal with a woman as competent and helpful as Amy. I received estimates for this work that ranged from $4500 - $15,000, and Amy's was right in the middle. She provided me with a very thorough estimate, worked with our insurance agent, and even gave us an excellent price on having some add'l work done at the same time (stairs and porch railing for the front). She was extremely patient with my incessant questions, and her crew were CRAFTSMEN, not just fence guys. The work they completed was far beyond anything I expected in terms of quality, promptness, and soliciting feedback from me. I would not hesitate to use them and to recommend them - they are extraordinary!! In a world where customer service is usually just paid lip service by others, Artistic Fence goes far beyond the expected, and are extremely professional to work with - thank you, Amy and your crew!

"I've worked with Ryan Youngren and Hoffman-Weber Construction to engage specific client concerns and they couldn't have been more transparent, responsive, professional, and detail oriented. I'd highly recommend their services!"
Vitaly (owner) came to my house to see what needed to be done and to offer suggestions. He was polite and professional.
Viktor came to work on time a few days later to start the demolition. The dumpster was not there the first day so he came back the next day to start. No problem. Viktor and his helper worked very hard to demolish the bathroom. They cleaned up each day before they left.
There was some mold on an adjacent bedroom wall , which was not surprising, since the some of the old bathroom shower tiles were missing. Vitaly thought that we could find some kind of a solution to get rid of the mold, but none of the stores had a powerful enough formula to do the job right. After a few days, I decided it was best to have that wall removed completely. Vitaly asked Viktor to give a bid to remove the bedroom wall. Viktor did not want to take on that job. Vitaly then gave me a name of a contractor who specializes in mold removal. I hired that company and in about another week, the mold wall was carefully removed and replaced with another bedroom wall.
Before the bedroom mold wall was removed, Viktor installed an outside vent cap for the bathroom fan. There is a small section of roof (approx. 18 inches) with a pitch extending from the side of the house above the bathroom ceiling where the vent roof cap could be placed.
Viktor installed a vent cap, but it was the wrong type. He installed a wall vent cap, not a roof vent cap. Also, the vent was installed over the shingles and flashing, instead of under them. If left as is, wind and rain would be able to come into the exhaust pipe or leak under the shingles and enter the bath fan/house. I notified Vitaly about it. He called me back and said that they would fix it. He said that Viktor told him that he had installed that type of vent before. I said to Vitally that I would remove it and install a new, correct type of vent.
After the bedroom wall was replaced, I decided that I did not want to use Vitaly's services any more. I called Viatly and talked to him about the situation and my decision. He was very polite and listened to what I had to say. We agreed that it was best to settle on the charges I owed him and move on.
I've called Angie's List a few times, since, to talk about the situation. One of the things that I found from the Angie's List Representative was that Vitaly's company had already been paid by Angie's List. This surprised me, since I thought a contractor would get paid for a Big Deal only AFTER the work had been done.
At this point, I want to be sure that Vitaly's company gets paid for the work they did. (they have been paid, amount is unknown)
Also, I would like to get a refund for $3700.00 I feel that I owe Vitaly $1300.00 for the work his company did. My figure includes an adjustment for replacing the bath fan vent and for the extra 5 days the dumpster sat in my yard.
I would appreciate a resolution to this situation so that all 3 parties can move on. Thank you.
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
Installing a walkway to your home can add value, as it can make your landscaping look more intentionally designed and boost your overall curb appeal. In addition, walkways can be installed with accessibility in mind, which can be helpful for those with mobility issues or who need a wheelchair.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.
Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.
The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.
