I called again a few days later after doing some research about water heaters. The woman that answered the phone became evasive when I asked for a detailed quote. She would not give me any specifics about the replacement unit, only that it had a six-year warranty and would cost around $1000. I decided to look for a company that would deal with me in a straightforward manner and asked her to cancel my appointment. Yesterday we received a bill in the amount of $95 for an ?Estimate Fee?! The appointment at our house lasted only a few minutes and they also refused to send us a detailed written estimate. The bill states: ?Leak at the water heater lines. Water heater is about 10 years old, suggested to customer to replace the water heater. Gave estimate for a new water heater $995. Estimate Fee $95. Please Mail Check.? Although I cannot review Jeff?s based on work that was done, I wanted to caution other members that this company did not give me the impression that they are honest or trustworthy.

Gravel Driveway Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Berino, NM
Absolutely horrific company. The owner makes verbal promises that they can complete work by a specified time, then retracts their statement when workers show up. The two workers, Chris R. and Ricardo P. showed disrespect from the minute they arrived till the minute they left. The company was...
I called Jeff?s Westside Plumbing to repair a leak at our water heater. The plumber looked at our unit and said that the repair would likely damage the water heater. He told us that we should instead replace it since it was already 10 years old and that this would cost around $1000. I...

Gravel Driveway Repair questions, answered by experts
Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses.
On average, asphalt dries within 24 to 72 hours, meaning it’s solid enough for light traffic—walking and careful driving. Full curing—when asphalt reaches peak strength—can take anywhere from three months to a year. During that time, heavy loads and sharp objects can leave marks. Weather, asphalt mix, and thickness all affect how quickly it dries and cures. If you want your asphalt to last, treat it gently until it’s fully cured. For the best results, check with a professional asphalt contractor for their advice.
The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.
Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product—extracted during crude oil refining—and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today’s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.
At a depth of two inches, a ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet. However, the thicker the asphalt, the less surface area it will cover. That’s why measuring correctly is essential when estimating asphalt needs and costs to ensure you get enough material to cover your entire driveway, patio, or other asphalt surface.
