"Jose and his team were excellent!  He came highly recommended and he didn't disappoint.  We needed the renovation to start as soon as possible so we could meet the schedule of moving out of our old house.  Jose called and was able to start a week earlier than we had scheduled, which was extremely helpful.
He started on a Monday and got right to work. When I stopped by the house I was amazed at the amount of work he and his team had accomplished in just one day.  Jose posted a list on the wall of work to be accomplished and kept it updated with notes and progress, so we
always knew exactly where he was schedule-wise and knew what expect and when materials would arrive.  Jose also took the time every day to talk to us and explain the progress and what to expect in the coming days.  He always answered all of our questions and made sure we were completely satisfied before he left for the day.
Progress flowed continually and logically throughout the following weeks of construction.  There was substantial progress every day and each member of Jose's team was very polite, neat and personable.  You could tell Jose and each member of his team really took pride in their work and they treated our house as if it were their house. Countless times, Jose told us that his #1 priority was to make sure we were happy and completely satisfied with the work being done.  He knew it wasn't just a job and a paycheck, but an investment in our home and in our
future. You could tell he really took that seriously and it was very much appreciated.
Jose made sure that we were involved every step of the way.  He would often meet us as at a local hardware store to pick out finishes and products that we wanted installed.  When we told him we wanted a particular vanity for the bathroom, he searched all over the city and finally found one in a town 30 miles away!  It was incredible; he literally went out of his way to make sure we were completely satisfied.
We bought our house with an FHA 203(k) loan to finance the renovation.  FHA inspects the house before any work is done, reviews the contractor's estimate of work to be done, and signs off on whether or not the work will be adequate to bring the house up to FHA standards. Once the work was complete, we still had to pass an FHA inspection to make sure everything was adequate.  We were very confident in Jose's work and extremely happy with what he had done, but we were still slightly nervous for the FHA inspection because you know what to expect in an inspection like that.
The inspector came through and was BLOWN AWAY with the transformation of the house!  He was extremely impressed with the quality of work and the care and craftsmanship that went into it.  It was literally like a different house.  The purchase price was about $168K and we got a loan for about $200K to pay for the renovation.  After the inspection, the inspector said the house was absolutely incredible and estimated it would sell for about $250K!  Thanks to Jose's hard work, we basically had about $50K instant equity.
All of our new neighbors have stopped by just RAVING about the work that was done.  Our house went from the ugliest, worst on the block to absolutely the nicest and the best.  Our Realtor who sold us the house was equally blown away when he saw the finished product.  Every single person who sees the before and after are just incredulous.  I cannot give Jose props enough.
He is a very busy contractor, so it may take some time to get on his schedule, but don't get frustrated or upset.  He is busy because he is genuinely nice, honest and really takes pride in his work.  We have recommended him to two friends now and they are equally happy with his work - they thank us for referring him to them.  Any work we may need done in the future will be done by Jose and his team.  We won't ever call another contractor because their work is of the highest quality and they are very competent in virtually all areas.  If they need to bring in a subcontractor, they are very discerning.  We are equally happy with the subcontractors that Jose occasionally used.
Thanks Jose!  You've turned a house desperately in need of much TLC into a home that we look forward to living in and raising our family for decades to come!

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Avondale, CO

To calculate how much pea gravel you need for your project, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover to find the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to convert it to cubic yards to determine the amount of pea gravel you need.

A yard of pea gravel weighs about 1.3 tons or 2,600 pounds. Keep in mind that wet gravel weighs more than dry, and different types of gravel can vary in weight. For example, due to its density, river rock weighs significantly more than crushed stone and pea gravel.

The ideal depth for pea gravel depends on the type and size of your project. You'll need at least two to three inches for walkways and patios and a minimum of six inches for driveways to support heavy vehicles and prevent shifting over time. Aim for a depth of three to four inches in decorative garden beds or drainage areas.

Pea gravel is attractive, versatile, and low-maintenance. It provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for pathways, driveways, and garden beds. On the downside, its sharp texture isn't ideal for bare feet, and it can be challenging to weed or remove once installed. It can also shift underfoot without proper edging, creating an uneven surface.

Alternative landscaping materials you can use instead of pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, pebbles, quartz, mulch, sand, and river rock. These materials offer different aesthetics, performance, and costs, so it’s important to do your research to determine which one best fits your landscape design and budget.

Many homeowners choose pea gravel because it requires minimal upkeep compared to other landscaping materials. You'll need to rake it occasionally to redistribute the stones and maintain an even surface. Pros also recommend installing weed barrier fabric beneath the gravel to prevent unwanted growth, although some weeds may still appear over time.
