"Mr. Gregory Hellen and his partner (Independent contractor) did not complete our project which included the improper installation of below surface electrical and water supply conduits. My Helen failed to adhere to the commitments made via communications via e-mail, text messages and verbal correspondence. According to Mr. Helen site drawings are only a visual representation and nothing more and any verbal or communicated commitments are not fulfilled; he does not keep his word. Mr. Helen uses the legal process to walk away from your project and fails to provide materials which were contracted for and will lie in court and make false statements. Everything is a change order presented to the customer the day the work is to commence; everything is left to the; and his family members who is not provided the proper site plan. Mr. Helen will rush to get to the job site and then leave the job site leaving multiple items unfinished incorrectly install or missing. We had to go to court but his attorney would not allow us to present receipts and documentation of work that was either not completed or done improperly for which we had to paid a third party contractors to complete. Mr. Helenas testimony was inaccurate in court and contrary to the communications which were not permitted, he even lied in court stating that I called his firm about the project, when in fact I had contacted his partner . Mr. Helen Failed to get HOA approvals; failed to follow code standards, failed to use a scale on site plans and failed to address any issues raised and the "partner and subcontractor are left with an outdated dated drawing and plans and had to take pictures to get approval to complete work which was contracted for and not completed because he did not have the tools. They even failed to provide or install two (2) column caps, (1) mailbox cap, an electrical transformer and associated low voltage wiring. Three Little Birds is a typical white privileged firm they perform no physical work and assign all the work to Latin American â sub-contractors . Be careful Three Little Birds LLC has no workers compensation insurance for his sub-contracts nor do the sub-contractor follow proper OSHA safety requirements, so if a work site accident occurs on your property you will be held liable and your home owners policy will be responsible. He is an experienced con-artist who has his sub-contractors rush to get off the job site to use a contract clause called â substantial completion and never to return; cure notice was provided and Mr. Helen said they were done and presented to the court some itemized invoice and then arbitrarily zero out items that were included in the contract; implying they were not charged for therefore they were not completed. A $64,000 plus interest and legal fees stay away. Scam Artist."

"Billy and his team carried out a major renovation of our 100 year old home, including a total revamp of our second floor to have a masterbedroom, two bathrooms, a walkin closet and a new second floor deck.

Yes—paver driveways are worthwhile investments. They deliver decades of durability and a big boost in curb appeal. Standard concrete may be cheaper up front, but pavers resist cracks, settle less, and let you mix colors and patterns for a custom look. Talk with your installer about options that hit the sweet spot between style and budget.
With routine upkeep, most paver driveways last 30 to 50 years. Material choice matters: permeable pavers see 20 to 25 years, while cobblestone can stretch to 75. Sealing joints, preventing weed growth, and replacing cracked pieces promptly all extend the surface’s life. Your installer can outline a maintenance plan tailored to your climate and paver type.
For a 500-square-foot driveway, budget anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000. Grass or concrete pavers land on the lower end, while stone and cobblestone push the price higher. Labor, site prep, and local rates also sway the final total, so request detailed quotes before committing.
Opting for quality materials and an experienced crew means fewer repairs and a driveway that looks great for decades.
Paver driveways aren’t perfect. You’ll pay more up front than you would for asphalt or poured concrete, and the joints need occasional weeding and resanding to stay tidy. Over many seasons, individual pavers may settle or shift, meaning you’ll have to reset or replace a few here and there. Factor these chores and costs into your decision before breaking ground.
