The crew were professional, polite and responsive to questions and requested changes. Our old driveway was removed and a bed of crushed rock laid down with little impact on the rest of the yard. The new driveway was poured on the 2nd day - on the 3rd day the stress lines were cut and the forms removed.. The price was very fair and it was done when scheduled. I would hire and Concrete Replacement Specialists again. Daniel

W."},"reviewBody":" This was a terrible experience!! The contract mentioned above was with Michael E. Miele, PE, who stated he had the following License Numbers: #079676 for New York State (where we live and where the work was to be done) and #44042 for New Jersey. The following work was to have been completed in addition to the topographic survey previously mentioned: 1. Driveway Retaining Wall Design (Design a retaining wall system for stream bank along driveway. This shall include all calculations required for proper installation, drainage calculations, geo-reinforcement analysis, etc. Provide on plan following items: wall type, installation specifications, method of construction, construction details, top and bottom of wall elevations, required rock pinning and method, etc.) 2. Future Garage Retaining Wall Design (Based on completed topographic survey, design a retaining wall system for extended driveway access in area discussed in field. The wall system shall be designed so that in future, construction meets the requirements for a garage foundation and construction.) 3. Deck and Rear Road Wall and Access Design (Based on completed topographic survey, design retaining wall system surrounding rear deck area. Provide site grading and exact method of construction. Provide design of access to alternate road area in rear of property.) 4. Rear of House Access Design ( Design a grading plan to allow for rear house access as discussed in field. This shall include an existing tree analysis and possible methods for stopping future tree root growth). NONE of this work was done.A September 13, 2010, e-mail from Miele stated that he would be meeting with the surveyor that day. Miele then wrote, "I am finally happy to announce that I should have the complete design completed by the end of the week." Miele made 3 or 4 appointments via phone conversations with my husband, but he never showed up for any of them. He only called to tell us he could not come for one of those visits. We heard nothing from him after that so my husband, Kent, wrote him again on Nov. 8, 2010, stating that due to rapid erosion, we had to have the retaining wall along the driveway completed by another firm. Also, we had to have the stairs and walkway to the rear road parking area done because the stairs and walkway we were using belonged to a neighbor who was selling his home. My husband stated that since the construction season was over and the contract laid out in the spring was now obsolete and untimely, he would like our $3,000 deposit back, minus a reasonable amount to cover the survey work which was actually done. In that same Nov. 8, 2010, e-mail, my husband asked Miele to scan and send to us a copy of the topographic survey, as well as the plot boundary survey we gave to him. We, once again, failed to hear anything from him. So, on Jan. 6, 2011, my husband wrote another e-mail, stating, "You need to communicate with me on this matter. I have heard nothing from you since September. I would like to resolve this matter of making a $3000 down payment and having nothing to show for it over 7 months later."
Miele replied on Jan. 10, 2011. Here is what he wrote:
"I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you, you have been very patient and understanding and it should not have gotten this far. I will get u an electronic copy out immediately and if you can give me till the end of the week i will get the money and the other hard copies. Again, i am truly sorry that this ended this way, I had some personal issues that just took over my life as well as my professional career. I will be back in touch by the end of the week. Thanks." We never heard from him again. My husband's last e-mail to him was on March 23, 2011. Kent wrote, "What is the story Mike? It has been over two months since you said you would take care of this in a week." My husband then basically repeated our request for a refund and for copies of the topographic survey and property boundary survey. Of course, as expected, there was no reply. We are about to initiate legal proceedings to try to recoup what we lost by placing our trust in Mr. Miele. I have seen in Angie's List that another consumer dealt with Mr. Miele in 2010 and gave him all "F" grades as well.

Rudy and his team did a awesome job. The paving will be one of the best additions to the home. We watched some driveways that Rudy did and finally called him after almost 7 years of him paving our neighbors driveway, and seeing it held up with tractor trailer in and out with no issues or cracking

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Smithfield, VA
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.
