Both sets of steps (stoop and wall) became hazardous to walk on. 33 pieces now not attached. As each month goes by now, more parts of the wall fall apart. I have asked the contractor repeatedly to rebuild the entire wall properly, because it obviously wasn't done correctly (the adhesive failed and the blocks weren't laid properly). The contractor has refused, agreeing only to re-adhere whatever blocks have already come off. That would mean the rest of the blocks, with the same adhesive, are doomed to come loose, and I will be spending the next few years calling the company back again and again. Most recently, the actual wall started shifting and some large blocks are not attached at all--only 10 months after it was installed. However, now the contractor has refused to fix the wall, saying that I keep adding things to the list of things to be done. He is correct that I keep adding things, but that's because more parts keep failing that must be fixed! However, the contractor is required to fix it, because my contract clearly states that the craftsmanship is covered for 5 years. But he is refusing, leaving me with a falling apart wall and steps. That is what is currently happening but does not include a major problem that I had to have the contractors fix earlier this year. As part of the original plan, I had the contractor cover the steps on the backdoor concrete stoop with pavers and bullnose last year. By April, more than a dozen of the bullnose on the steps came off (again, the adhesive didn't hold). This was so hazardous that I told the contractor that the company would be liable if anyone got hurt. They removed the pavers and bullnose, and I now have a bare concrete stoop again (a little uglier than before because the workers chipped it), but at least I don't worry about stepping on the stoop now. Then there's the third problem, which is the patio. I already had to get the contractor to re-do part of it in May, because the substrate was not prepared properly, and a section near the house subsided within a few months, allowing water to pool by the foundation. There is more I could explain, but I think that's enough to show that the contractor did an unprofessional job. I will attach some photos. Keep in mind that all caps, bullnose, and blocks that are not attached in the photos had been attached by the contractor with adhesive last year, at which time the wall appeared complete. I moved the pieces aside to show which ones came loose.

The garage foundation has been repaired, so we don't have to worry about it sliding off all the way now. And the new patio looks great! On the first day, they jackhammered the old concrete patio and the steps going to our front door. Also, they dug all the way to the bottom of the garage's foundation and then they dug up and formed our new patio as well. On the second day, they poured new concrete down for our patio, rebuilt our steps, and fixed the cinder block on our garage. They slid the cinder block back into place, underpinned it, and then made it so it wouldn't slide back out. On the third day, they stained our concrete a very nice brownish color. The fourth day was going to be for sealing the concrete; however, we got rain almost everyday for the next week and a half. They said it needs a minimal of 24 hours to dry before it can get wet or before we can walk on it just so it won't get ruined later on. It rained so much that they just couldn't do it for a week and a half. They came back out on a Saturday, which was the first day that they could, and finished it up. I have to say that they were very professional and very hardworking as they were doing this. They got alot done in a very short time. Our new patio is 120 square feet and our walkway was 40 square feet. That was alot of work right there that they got done quickly. I know the rain held things up, but I'm glad that they waited for the rain to stop, so they could get it done right. It looks perfect! The new patio is exactly what we imagined it would be and we couldn't be happier with it. We're also glad that they fixed the cinder block to our garage as well.

We were looking for a contractor that could come out to install a 20X3X.5 concrete walkway on the side of our house. After looking at many contractors that seemed way overpriced, we found Mr. Colvin and Colvin Inc. on Craigslist. After his initial $400 estimate and seeing the pictures of his work, we knew he was not only fair, but an answer to our prayer. His team came out a couple of days later and they immediately went to work even capping off one of our sprinklers to prevent potential sinkhole or flooding issues - after notification and approval of course. After preparation, laying the concrete, and adding texture, the job was complete before the day was done. It looked amazing and still remains solid to this day.
I highly, highly recommend Colvin Inc. for all your concrete needs due to their expertise, hard work, and fair/honest price.
This project was top notch. They removed concrete of previous driveway, steps, stoop and replaced everything and expanded the driveway to accommodate two car parking. They also install a patio in my back yard. Sergio and his team were very professional, on time every day, courteous, worked...

FAQs for concrete patio work projects in Springfield, VA
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of mudjacking is around $5per square foot of concrete, with most concrete leveling jobs totaling between $3 and $8per square foot. The typical cost to fix a sinking portion of concrete slab with mudjacking is around $1,100. The price you’ll pay depends on the size of the concrete slab you need to be leveled, the accessibility of the slab, and the type of material your contractor uses beneath the concrete to lift it back into place.
A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.
Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
In most cases, no, mudjacking is not possible as a DIY job. Not only do you need specialized equipment to cut into your slab and pump the cementitious material underneath it, but it’s also a challenging process, and the consequences of making mistakes include additional structural damage to your home. It’s possible to rent mudjacking equipment to attempt a DIY repair, but the risk of added property damage usually isn’t worth the money you’ll save on labor, especially if the concrete you’re lifting is a part of your home’s foundation.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.

Concrete is a durable material but needs maintenance every few years. Use this concrete resurfacing cost guide to get an idea of ongoing maintenance costs.
Interlocking pavers fit together easily, like puzzle pieces, using the power of friction to disperse weight, making them ideal for driveways and walkways.
