"I recently hired My Sons for a front yard fence and pavers installation and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed! From the initial consultation to the final installation, their professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch. Customer Service: Ulises was incredibly courteous and helpful. He answered all my questions and provided clear, detailed estimates. The consultation was free, and they offered several options to suit my needs and budget. Quality of Work: The craftsmanship is outstanding. They used high-quality materials, ensuring durability and aesthetics. The installation team was efficient, meticulous, and respectful of my property. They worked seamlessly, finishing the project on schedule without any hiccups. Pricing: Very competitive pricing. Ulises was transparent about the costs and there were no hidden fees. The value I received for the price I paid was excellent. Overall Experience: I’m extremely satisfied with the final result. The fence and pavers looks fantastic and has enhanced the security and appearance of my home. I highly recommend My Sons to anyone looking to install a new fence."

"The work was done by sub-contractors, supervised by a Metro supervisor who was very responsive.  First, the supervisor worked with our insurance company to agree on a price for the roofing, which took care of the full roofing job, less the deductible, which we paid.  We also upgraded the shingle style at our cost. 
The job was done in two long days and the workmanship was excellent, with one exception:  One of the roofers used long nails over the eves, punching through exposed eve surfaces, leaving long nails exposed and splintering the wood on about half of our eves.  The other half of the eves were boxed in and were not a problem.  Metro hired another sub contractor to come back and cut off the nails and sand and caulk the splintered surfaces so that they are prepared for painting, which we planned to do soon.  The repair work was done in a timely fashion.
The roofers installed several roof vents, metal flashing all around, and painted all exposed metal vents and flashing to match the roof color.  There were some broken siding shingles at the roof-siding junction, which we will need to replace. 
A separate sub-contractor removed and installed our gutters and down spouts in one day, and did an excellent job.  They are very solid and look neat and professional. 
The Metro supervisor stayed with the project until we were satisfied and was very responsive.

"The crew who did the actual work were very professional and responsive. Overall, we are happy with the end result. However, communication with company management to get the job scheduled and finished was difficult. They often didn't call back when they said they would, and we would have to leave additional messages to remind them to call us. In addition, we still don't have a written warranty for the work performed even though we have requested this and been promised a copy several times."

"The kid was late each day he came over. Although he was pleasant, I was not impressed with his overall professionalism. He made a mess, broke the light cover on the ceiling fan, didn't tell me he needed a bulb for the replacement fan, and it took three days to do about 8 hours of work. I was later told that he was leaving the company and that's probably why he wasn't highly motivated. The remaining owner later called me and apologized, but by the time the job was complete (sort of) and I had to finish cleaning up after the guy."

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

Most shed foundations benefit from a gravel layer four to six inches deep after proper compaction. The exact depth may vary depending on your specific soil conditions, climate, and shed weight. In areas with poor drainage or for heavier structures, contractors might recommend slightly deeper installations. Building the pad in multiple compacted layers rather than a single thick pour helps achieve optimal stability and load distribution.

Gravel pads cost significantly less than concrete foundations. While gravel materials run about $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, concrete slabs average $6 per square foot. For a standard shed base, this price difference translates to substantial savings. Beyond the initial cost advantage, gravel pads also offer easier installation, simpler modifications if needed, and don't require specialized concrete finishing skills.

For a standard 10-by-12 shed pad, you'll need enough gravel to cover 120 square feet at the recommended depth. At rates of $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, expect to spend $150 to $216 on gravel materials alone. Remember to factor in extending the pad beyond the shed's dimensions by one to two feet on each side for better drainage and stability, which increases the actual area needed.

The ideal gravel for shed foundations combines stability with proper drainage capabilities. Crusher run ($0.40 per square foot) makes an excellent base layer because it contains various particle sizes that lock together when compacted. For top layers, angular gravel provides better drainage while maintaining stability. Avoid perfectly round decorative stones as they don't compact effectively and may shift under weight, compromising your shed's stability over time.
