They were actually late getting to the house, but called ahead to let us know, and stayed late into the evening to get the job finished.
They were very professional and explained what they were doing. They also allowed us to schedule our appointment over email, which was much more convenient for me. I would definitely hire them again.
The bid we received was fairly priced, coming in about 10% below the bids of two other contractors including Boss Mudjacking. All companies put their bids in with the caveat that there is no way to fully know how much fill would be needed to level the concrete. The pricing for A1 would have been more expensive in the long run if we needed more than the original truckload that A1 estimated, but we ultimately decided to go with A1 because of the three year guarantee that A1 put on their work (in comparison to the two year guarantee of another bid, and zero guarantee by a third company that bid). We figured if the cost ended up being more for the work, at least the work was guaranteed longer. Todd also was the most professional during the bid. One of the final reasons we decided A1 was because they use a mix of limestone and water to fill the voids, instead of a slurry of concrete and mud. The limestone sets up nicely and we didn't want to weigh whether the dirt fill would settle or wash away again, particularly if companies weren't willing to guarantee it as long. Also A1 advised that to meet their end of the bargain of the guarantee, we also had to agree to fix the reason why the driveway sank in the first place, which was an erosion point on the side of the driveway from which the dirt beneath the driveway washed out. We decided we would build a small, round retaining wall and back fill with dirt to hold the concrete fill in place.
The day that the work was performed, which was a few short weeks after the bid, A1 showed up a bit a couple hours later in the morning than I was expecting. But their work ethic quickly made up for it. They worked a full day into the night, nearly 9 hours, to complete the job. They had to leave halfway through the day to refill their truck, which is a 70 mile round trip. Although the owner wasn't one of the crew to actually do our job, we found out that both on the crew had been doing this work for several years and were adept at it. They worked really hard, nonstop, and probably ended up with a 12-14 hour day in total. When they left, we were amazed by how significantly more level our driveway and garage floors were.
The next day after everything set up overnight, the driveway fell about 1/2 inch. We called A1 back, they took a look at it, and agreed to come back a few weeks later when they had another job in the area and could use a partial load to boost the level back up to its best spot. They followed through on it with no additional charge and the driveway is holding up nicely today (four months later) with no additional settling. We also held up our end of the bargain and within a week of A1's first fill, we built and back filled the retaining wall ($200-300) to do what we could to also assure there was no additional settling. The improvement in the driveway is significant, but I rest a lot better now also knowing that our garage floor is better supported and we're not putting nearly as much stress on the re-bar and foundation walls.
