This is only one of the many problems we have had building with Arive. We had concrete replaced on our driveway, now for the second time. It took them forever to get it scheduled and the work performed even though our driveway concrete replacement was agreed upon by Arive within 60 days, so that they could get the money from closing on our house on February 28, 2022.
I am not happy with the quality of the work in general, but in addition, the company who came and did the work, caused more damage to the concrete which was not replaced, including divots, scratches, and broken pieces of concrete, as well as still having splashed concrete on the house, and bobcat and cement truck black tire marks on the concrete. (yes, they drove the concrete truck right up on my driveway) I was told they would be coming out to clean it up, but so far only one employee has come out and cleaned up some of the oversplash.
There are two boards still nailed to our concrete on each side of the steps from the forms they used to re-pour the steps. When these boards are removed, I am almost sure that there will be additional concrete patches and foundation paint that will have to be repaired. (we have now planted this area and when someone does come out, they will have to work around that without destroying our landscaping).
They also tore up our lawn in a couple places, and I have been asking for the landscapers to be sent back to fix it for some time now. The guys who came out to tear out the concrete, cut through my sprinkler controller twice, and I had to fix it myself to keep my lawn alive, because it took a couple weeks for the landscaper to come fix that, again after many calls and text messages.
The company who was sent out for patches, I was told was top notch, and could make the patches look almost unnoticeable. This is not the case. They came out and literally just filled the holes, not paying attention to making the patches flush with the existing concrete, or brushing the finish to match the existing concrete. My 9 year old grandson could have done the same job.
Our driveway is not the only one in our neighborhood but every house has problems with deep cracks, uneven parts, etc. read more
