I, like many other home owners worry about who to call when I have a repair or remodeling project around my home. Most people just use the phone book or internet to find a contractor, but, that's like flipping a coin. You're not going to get the best result from doing that. I have an older home, built in the 70's, which until now didn't need a lot of repair. Now I find that, all at once, my home is in need of many repairs. From plumbing, electrical and now concrete.
My driveway has developed some very Concrete Driveway Contractor Richmond large cracks that I can no longer ignore. It is true that the cracks were noticeable a few years back. However, they seem to have grown larger within the past year or so. It appears that my yard and flower bed does not drain water very well. Each time the sprinklers go off, I notice a large water puddle next to my driveway. The water is under mining the soil under the driveway, creating a soft foundation under the concrete which is causing it to crack. Needless to say, I need a concrete contractor to break out the old driveway, install a drain to eliminate the water puddle and pour a new driveway.
The question is, how do I find a contractor that is reliable and has reasonable pricing? How much should a concrete driveway cost?
