The plans changed and we selected the option of replacement of the pipe in our yard, and the installation of a clean out on the outside of the house with a 2 year warranty for the drainage pipes. This option was $2,000 cheaper. The company laid down plastic mats on the lawn, and removed shrubs and fencing that was in the way. When the job was completed they then replanted the shrubs, and cleaned up to the point that it was not readily apparent that anything that had been done. The dirt was tamped down so there would be a minimum of settling. Scott and Tom were personable, and respectful of our yard and house. They removed their shoes or wore paper booties when they walked through the kitchen to the basement. Our dog even liked them! The City of Akron inspector was very impressed with the fact that they restored the property afterwards, because they were not required to do that since we are not new construction.

They thoroughly discussed our plans and tried to do everything just the way we wanted them to. At one point, my husband was not happy with the way the siding was going, and Brad came right out and made a change in the way the windows were trimmed so that we were satisfied. They worked steadily and always tried to keep the mess contained and cleaned up. The quality of their workmanship, and that of the different people they contracted to do the drywalling, electric work, etc. is excellent. The only reason I didn't give them an A on everything was that now we have a water problem in the basement, where the old foundation and the new foundation meet. Water and mud seeps in when it rains. They feel that when we replace our driveway, which is admittedly in bad shape, this problem will be alleviated. I am not so sure. I think eventually my husband will have to jackhammer the cement and use plastic and insulation to divert the old waterproofing system into the new drainage system. Also, we didn't plan to have to spend another $5,000 to $10,000 to replace the driveway right now. There is also another water problem in the basement as the result of the new front steps joining with the foundation above the waterproofed cement blocks. This seems to be a design flaw to me. They thought that it just got wet because the first time it rained there were no gutters in place yet. They put on the gutters and sprayed clear waterproofing around the outside of the foundation, but I think we will also have to paint the inside of the basement wall with waterproofing paint. Of course right now the wall is covered with insulation to meet the code requirements, and we will have to remove that to even see if the wall is drying out or not. Overall, they were very good, but not perfect. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/akron/precision-siding-and-construction-co-reviews-127897.htm"},"position":10}]}
Gravel Driveway Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Akron, OH
Had to blowtorch driveway because grass/weeds growing through. Neighbor complaining because he had the top of driveway in part of his property that D & A Hauling was supposed to take with them. Do not hire this company. You will get half of what you paid for. Did a poor job on my driveway.
I can't get anyone except Perfect Power Wash. The purpose of my call was if they could do the driveway. They said that they needed to come out to do the test. I told them that I would follow up after a month. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They are pretty good. Based on the...

Originally the company gave us an estimate to replace the entire line to the sidewalk, but when the work was begun, it was found that the location of the sewer connection was not as the City of Akron portrayed (which was understandable since the house is 96 years old).. It actually ran...

"Met w John Shuleva, president - to get an estimate & some ideas on how to improve landscaping in back yard area. John arrived, but didn't seem too interested. I asked him to provide an estimate w scope of work, but he never provided this. When i followed up w him, he said they were busy & needed a few more days to provide estimate. They never provided an estimate, given the lack of interest I decided not to follow up a 2nd time. Not sure what the issues were, but given my experience I would not recommend them for landscaping services. Bottom line, I was disappointed in lack of interest & no follow up. Ernie Kulik"

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Akron, OH
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.
