Nearby Gravel Driveway Repair in Ashburn

Phoenix installed the flagstone and railings.  The amount of time the company spent repairing or fixing construction mistakes was egregious and invoked an unnecessary amount of my time.  In the end, Phoenix fixed almost all of their issues.

Mike was easy to deal with and very responsive. I had a furniture delivery scheduled for the same time he was fixing the walk. He made sure his crew was done with the part the delivery man had to walk on. Work was completed on time and to specifications. Craftsmanship was excellent.

Mike, showed up on time, cleaned up after done and the stone work was beautiful. His team also did electrical repair and replacement. When a problem arose, Mike came to fix it.

One of the reasons that I like a handy man is because I often have a lot of small jobs, as was the case here.  I had bought a four hour package from JW. Their estimator vastly overestimated the time that the repairs would take. Then he gave me a list of supplies to buy for the dry wall repair.  Now, we're talking about a 10 in. x 10 in. repair from when I had the outside spigot replaced.  I had the dry wall piece that had been carefully cut out by the plumber. The estimator had me buy a box of dry wall screws, 20 minute easy sand (minimum 18 lb. bag), a sponge and 2' of 1 x 4" wood. Also, even tho the estimator came out in person, he didn't measure the door frame to be repaired so I could get everything needed when I went to get the drywall patch supplies.  Instead he said that the repairman would do that, then leave to get the required supplies during my 4 hour window!  So, I was none-too-pleased with the wasted time that I had already paid for. Thankfully Kenny showed up to do the work yesterday.  He was on time and quickly scoped everything out.  He said, "I have everything that I need in my truck and you can return what you bought," which meant that he didn't need to leave to get more supplies.  He did a super job on the drywall -- you'd never know there was ever a hole there -- and the shed is now tight and dry.  He used wood he had, some scraps of mine, and caulked it.  I'll paint when the rain lets up. The toilet was a "gift."  He had time to spare and said, "What else do you need done?" I showed him the toilet and he tightened it down and solved a long standing (or should I say sitting?) issue.  That man worked the entire four hours and everything exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely ask for Kenny again and JW would be wise to let him do the estimates, as well.

Oscar and his crew repaired it quickly. While bidding on the job, Oscar noted my crumbling sidewalk, broken steps to the house (they were dangerous) and gave me a bid to repair that as well. I went ahead with that work as well (not included in the cost here). Oscar is honest, his team hardworking and professional, and he keeps in touch if there are delays on the job and fixes anything to your liking.

Couldn't have gone better. A large culvert under my driveway has been blocked for years by debris, restricting flow to a trickle. Jose and his crew dug it out, found that the inlet had been doubled over on itself, and fixed it. Better yet, they built a stone wall surrounding the inlet to channel water down. Water now pours down the stone and we've got a beautiful little water feature. All work was done courteously, professionally, and quickly. I already plan on hiring Jose again. He's great.

Amazing work yet again from Marvin and his crew. They arrived promptly at 9:30am and completed the job by 3:30pm. They removed vines that were growing on my retaining wall, cleaned weeds and dirt around the top of the wall, repairs the stairs, and retaining wall base. The fixed wall cracks, removed the old junk filling, and installed wire mesh, fresh sand, gravel, and concrete. Previous estimates ranged from $9k-$45k to replace the wall/stairs, but that was outside my price range. Marvin recommended repairing the wall which would buy me a few years and get me past this pandemic. I’d 100% use them again in the future and strongly recommend them to any of my friends doing home hardscaping or landscaping.

I am not one to go through the effort to write reviews however this company is very deserving. In july of 2011 we contracted American Exteriors and Masonry to repair cracked mortar on our porch and repair a window. Both jobs were perform by two different crews. One that specialized in doing masonry and the other in repairing windows. That really defined how specialized they are in each area. We have a large palladium widow that we thought needed replacing due to excessive rooting. After talking with Carmen who was our estimator, he suggested that we repair instead of replace our window. To make a long story short they did an unbelievable job in repairing the window and we saved $3000.00. That type of honesty doesn't come around very often. The final part of my story concerns the mortar job they did on our patio. Anyone that knows anything about replacing mortar will tell you it's very hard to get an exact match to existing mortar. Anyway, American Exteriors explained that to me prior to doing the job however I was hoping for a better match than what I got. I am not one to complain but the match really bothered me. Anyway, I called them 3-months later to complain about the match. We were already into the winter months by that time. Anyway they said they would call me in the spring to redo what they had repaired. On April 6th 2012 I got a call from Nana who handles their scheduling to say they were sending someone out to redo the previous job. The job was totally redone and my mortar is now a perfect match. Their primary objective was to make the customer happy and to get the job to the best standards in the industry. In my opinion that was worth my time in writing this review. I can't say enough about a company who totally stands behind their work. Sincerely, Dan Meyers

We chose American Professional Chimney & Masonry to fix rain leaking from Chimney place after we had 3 estimations from 3 different company. The estimated cost from American Professional Chimney is not the lowest one, but their repair plan seemed to be best for me, and the cost was also reasonable compared to other estimation.   In actual repairing, they came to my house as scheduled and did an excellent job. there was no rain leaking after the repair. 

The drainage work was completed efficiently by a large crew. The installation was very timely as we soon received a lot of rain. Our drainage in the backyard is great now. Cleaning the pond was the easy part. Arranging the rocks was the artistic part. Installing a new UV light was the technical part. Ensuring that the leak at the waterfall had been fixed was the difficult part and took some time to verify success. I really respected their patience with me. The company waited to send me a bill for the pond repair until they were confident that the problem was solved. Bottom line: The stonework around the pond looks great!! Backyard drainage problem is solved!! Note: Many companies will install ponds, but most will not fix or maintain a decorative pond that they did not install. Simpson & Company did a great job, returned several times until I was satisfied with the pond's functioning. I highly recommend them for landscaping AND decorative pond repair and maintenance. I learned a lot from them during this process and may not need as much assistance with my pond in the future. Thank you to Steve, Huy, and Marcos!

I received 5 or 6 quotes to repair a retaining wall and flagstone walkway in the front of my house. I selected Roger not only due to his competitive pricing, but also because he seemed to care about the work the most. He finished all of the work in one day with one other worker. They left the area clean and did a great job. Since I elected to not set the flagstone in cement, but rather in stone dust, Roger has periodically come back to check on the pathway to see how the stones are settling. He also promptly addressed an area of concern of mine. He really does take pride in his work, so I trust if any issues should arise in the next year or so with the work, he'll be out to fix it immediately!

GreenLady was great from start to finish. The planning stages offered us multiple options and recommendations were made to solve our drainage issues. Extensive work included, downspouts, retaining walls, landscaping stone, French drains and concrete patio. The work was completed as scheduled, on time. The results were even better than anticipated. Could not ask for better experience.

Mike and Garrett were fantastic to work with. Our front stairs are quite long (42 steps from carport to front door, with a landing) and had been coming part. They explained the job well in advance and we very flexible with scheduling. They completed the job on time and for the price quoted. The crew was professional, courteous and hard working. Definitely recommend and will absolutely use again.

After almost a year of moving into our new home, we experienced our worst nightmare. Our not one but two basement levels had visible signs of water penetration from the previous homeowner's negligence. A record year of rainfall along with improper grading of the home helped unmask many issues to the surface we never thought about when we first bought the home. It was a very hopeless feeling to experience and go through. My husband and I did our due diligence on waterproofing and foundation repair and interviewed about 20 contractors who specialize in this field. Upon meeting Mr. Steven Starkey from S&S Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we knew we found the right guy to correctly fix the water problems at our home. Mr. Starkey was always very prompt with the many questions we had for him and always had the right answer back for us, which made us feel very comfortable hiring him and clearly separated himself from the rest of his competition. In the end, Mr. Starkey and his crew performed a complex hand digging excavation around 3/4 of the outside of our home. This included jackhammering and repairing in the carport area of our home as well. They did this during the hottest time of the year, the end of June - mid August. Mr. Starkey's crew was very professional and hardworking; they always came on time, never took shortcuts in the six weeks from start to finish on the project. His foreman running the project, Sturado was very knowledgable and closely monitored the job. It made us feel very comfortable having him there overseeing the job along with Mr. Starkey who usually came by everyday as well to check on things. Mr. Starkey's crew of six hand dug everything on the outside, which was quite complex because of the two different level basements. They properly sealed the outside cracks and removed most of the marine clay which was creating pressure on our home. His team relocated the sump pump inside our home to a better strategic area and also made another outside sump pump to collect the water around our home and carry it away. It has been about a half year past the project completion and we had not had any signs of water penetration inside our home, even with quite a bit of rainfall afterwards. We feel very confident in the work Mr. Starkey's company performed (guarantee's his work, lifetime transferable warranty). He has checked back with us after the project was completed to see how things were and has offered to come back if we had any questions or problems which is reassuring. It's rare to find a company like S&S Foundation and Waterproofing who truly stands behind their work and take pride in their reputation. If you want a great waterproofing and foundation company we would recommend S&S Waterproofing and Foundation anyday; Mr. Starkey's company was one of the best contractors in any field that we have ever hired since owning a home, dating back to 2012.

The designer did a great job working with us to get what we wanted. The price for the install was fair and a good value. The lawn service price was excessive as we found out later. The initial work including a stone patio and walkway went well. When we had to get some minor things fixed and wanted to sod more area, that didn't go so well. Workers showed up unannounced despite a request for advanced notice. We were double charged for repair work and it took several calls over three months to get it fixed. We had a lawn care service with them (subcontracted) who never completed the contracted work. Their billing cycle was not congruent with our contracted agreement. Ultimately we lost ground because the aeration and seeding never happened in the fall.

This was an out of warranty repair of flagstone steps that they designed and built about 6 yrs. ago. They acknowledged that the initial installation was faulty, and made satisfactory repairs at a discount price.

My old brick patio was losing mortar between the bricks and becoming treacherous. My front flagstone walk needed repair. Capital Masonry repaired the sidewalk and completely resurfaced the patio with beautiful flagstone in just 2 days. Their 4 person team, a topnotch stone mason and three helpers, worked tirelessly and competently. The result for both projects is outstanding. I couldn't be more delighted. Their bill for the project was exceptionally reasonable; their workmen diligent and pleasant; and the owner, Mike Cadle, super conscientious and attentive to every detail. They're topnotch craftsmen and I recommend them very highly.

We have a long and wide driveway that had settled, had poor drainage. Kerrigan repaired, resurfaced and graded driveway. The work was first-rate all around. Highly recommend

They arrived to do the work unannounced and left a brace on the steps for days without returning to take it off until we contacted them and asked them to. The steps were loose when they finished and the new cement that they laid was cracking. We asked them to fix this and they refused, claiming that it wasn't because of their work.

      We were quite pleased with the work which included drilling , sanding and adding a new waterproof surface to the outer chimney. There were other details added and everything appears to be working fine.    We would certainly hire him again
