"I had been dealing with an uneven garage floor for several years and consulted multiple companies, but most either quoted very high prices or couldn’t handle the job properly.
TJ and his assistant, Miky, from Walking 4 LLC, carefully assessed the situation, explained everything clearly, and offered several options with pros and cons. Their honest recommendations helped us make a confident decision.
We chose to redo part of the garage floor to level it. TJ provided a clear plan, and the pricing was very reasonable. The work was completed with excellent craftsmanship and a professional finish.
The results were impressive—so much so that my neighbor hired TJ on the spot. He also went the extra mile by replacing and adjusting the garage door seals to ensure a proper fit.
I highly recommend Walking 4 LLC for concrete work. Their professionalism, honesty, and quality are outstanding."
"These fellas put in a shop floor a one car garage floor. And an older existing garage floor. Can t say a bad thing at all. They worked hard long hours. Weekends. Our floors look amazing!!!"
"Their work was very good, so good that I kept adding more work for them to do. They were kind and courteous and strived to achieve the best possible work. Their work ethic and price were exceptionaly honest and fair. If I have more work in the future I will definitely hire them again."
"This handyman, was clean, quick and efficient. He replaced my main entrance door for me. I no longer have a drafty door in my house as he made sure it was fit correctly and secured well."

If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:
Permeable pavement: This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs.
Gravel: Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.
Natural stone pavers: Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.
Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting. If these issues pop up, it’s time to replace your driveway.
Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
