Is your sidewalk a hazard? Has your driveway seen better days? Cracks in concrete happen over time, and they're sometimes difficult to troubleshoot, especially if the problem is due to a tree root or uneven ground.

During this hour ofTalk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with home improvement expert Bill McAnally about concrete, asphalt and other paving solutions for your driveway, sidewalk, patio or paving project.

McAnally says that it's important to think about how paving connects to stairs, as tripping hazards are a real problem for some people when they try to fix cracks.

"A lot of times what people dont look at is that when our sidewalks and driveways butt up against the house, they lead to steps. If you step off your steps and you are going nine inches instead of seven, or five instead of seven, youre going to either jar your back or trip. You may get used to it, but visitors might not. You have to think, 'What will this affect?'"

McAnally also answers listener questions during the show.

Cracked Concrete in Your Driveway? - Iowa Public Radio

John Davis, 55, worked for Merrill Construction and was paving a driveway when the vehicle he was driving went down an embankment and rolled on top of him.

It's unclear if anyone currently lives at the single-family home where the work was being done.

Webster Police Chief Benedict Liberatore said only construction workers were at the residence Saturday.

A state medical examiner and first responders went to the scene at Deer Meadow Road shortly before noon Saturday.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was also notified of Davis' death, and will be sending an investigator there Monday, officials said.

"It appears while working the victim lost control of the dirt roller-type vehicle causing him to go off an embankment and causing the equipment to roll on top of him," said Webster Officer Aaron Sparks.

The workplace accident occurred near the Concord-Webster line.

WILLOW, AK Two local companies are helping a woman in Willow who says she was duped out of $76,000 dollars for a driveway repair job that a local contractor says should have cost only around $20,000.

Marlin & Sons Construction and Emulsions Products donated labor and materials Friday to seal Robin Egdell's driveway, which was paved recently by a company called Edwards Asphalt.

"What I've seen is just a complete mess of a poor lady's driveway that got completely taken advantage of" said Curtis Marlin, owner of Marlin & Sons Construction.

Edgell says a few weeks ago, Edwards Asphalt arrived in the neighborhood and claimed its crew had left over asphalt they needed to get rid of. She says she thought they quoted her a price of $4,750, but later told her the actual price was $47,500.

Edgell claims the next day, when the job was finished, the company gave her an additional bill of nearly $25,000. In all, Edgell says she paid the company about $76,000.

Edgell says she was unaware at the time of how much paving work costs. "And at this age, I feel like a fool for being duped by somebody...that I should know better."

Tonya Burritt of Emulsion Products said "everyone in our company was just heartbroken over what happened to her."

Marlin says the material used by the company that did the original work was poor, as was the workmanship.

Channel 2 News called the toll-free number for Edwards Asphalt. A man, who refused to give his name, declined comment and rejected repeated invitations to do an interview.

The Alaska Attorney General's office said recently it's received at least 10 reports from Alaskans who were taken advantage by paving schemes. State officials say "the individuals claim that they are knocking because they have leftover materials and are able to pave driveways or sidewalks for a discounted rate. They cite a price that is attractive to homeowners without giving the required written notice that the homeowner has a right to cancel any written or verbal contract without penalty for five days."

According to the state's Consumer Protection Unit, the names of the questionable businesses cannot be released because the reports they receive are in the form of consumer complaints.

Although many of the people Channel 2 spoke with regarding Edwards Asphalt gave scathing reviews, we did speak with two people who had good things to say about their experience. True Value in Glennallen had its driveway paved in June, owner Ernie Christian says he was satisfied with the price and quality of their work. A homeowner in Seward echoed those feelings after her driveway was paved.

How much does it cost to pave a driveway?

One of the easiest ways to make a driveway is to simply clear the land, compress it with heavy machinery and begin using it to gain access to and from a home or building. Is this the best way to go about creating a driveway? Not really, and this is because seasonal conditions and soil erosion will quickly degrade the path and make it either boggy and muddy or bumpy and full of rocks and impediments. It might also be outside of local building codes and regulations too. This is the reason that most home and property owners will eventually pave their driveway with one of several reliable materials.Before the paving process can begin, however, the space must be suitably prepared for the work. This requires clearing the area of debris, grading the soil in order to receive the paving materials, creating a base, and then adding the pavement. Clearly this means that paving a driveway is not a DIY option.

For the purpose of this discussion we will consider thecosts of paving a driveway that is roughly 12'x50' (or 600 square feet)in size, which averages $1,500.

According to the RSMeans cost calculation software a standard paving project will include costs such as:

Engineering - whenever driveways have any sort of slopes, curves, or angles in them it usually means that costs are going to increase. Generally this is due to the need for engineering to allow runoff to properly drain away from the home and into the street, and it usually also means more labor in preparing the surface. Additionally, sloped and curved drives involve more materials which only increases the total costs too

WILLOW (KTUU)- Door-to-door asphalt scammers are targeting Alaskans in a number of communities across the state from Fairbanks to the Kenai Peninsula.

In just the past few days, the Attorney Generals office says they've received at least 10 reports from Alaskans who were taken advantage by paving schemes.

According to the Anchorage Attorney Generals office, "the individuals claim that they are knocking because they have leftover materials and are able to pave driveways or sidewalks for a discounted rate. They cite a price that is attractive to homeowners without giving the required written notice that the homeowner has a right to cancel any written or verbal contract without penalty for five days."

Back in June, a paving company that called itself 'Edwards Asphalt,' showed up at Robin Edgell's home in Willow, offering her a $10,000 load for half price, to pave her driveway. After one day of paving, the pavers came to collect their fee.

"They told me $4,750," said Edgell. "We went to the bank, I got the $4,750, and they said 'No, $47,500.' And I simply went into a shock. I walked back into the bank and got a cashier's check. And then they came back the next day to finish up and then they sent their 10 year-old son to the door with this invoice."

That invoice was for an additional $24,765. Edgell said even though she knew it wasn't right, she paid her bill, saying when all was said and done, she paid them more than $72,000.

As for the quality of the work, Edgell says her driveway looks awful.

"It's not taken out as far, it's not as thick as it should be and it's never going to dry," said Edgell. "It's always going to be sticky, what they put on here is never going to set."

Edgell showed Channel 2 an invoice and flier given to her by Edwards Asphalt. On it, an address and phone number. We searched Alaska corporation filings and found no business license by the name of Edwards Asphalt. As for the address, 3875 Giest Road in Fairbanks, it belongs to a UPS store that rents out mailboxes. We also called the number, 907-891-3501, only to receive an automated message saying 'we're sorry, the person you're trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time. Please try your call again later.'

Channel 2 spoke the owner of Peninsula Asphalt Paving on Tuesday, he says his crew spotted vehicles with 'Edwards Asphalt' logo on them in the Kenai Peninsula as recent as Monday night.

If you were the victim of this scam you are asked to contact the Consumer Protection Unit Staff at (907) 269-5200 or toll free (888) 576-252.

Boulder County Sheriff's Office asks residents to be aware and report suspicious activity

Boulder County, Colo. - The Boulder County Sheriffs Office has received multiple reports of driveway paving scams occurring in our area. The scams often go something like this: There is a vehicle that pulls onto your property and honks, the person says they have leftover asphalt from another job and can give you a really good deal today. They end up only putting down a paper thin amount of asphalt or recycled asphalt they will give you an "invoice" for significantly more money than the original quote and then demand payment.

Here are things to be wary of when hiring a contractor:

If you have had recent contact with someone you believe to be involved in a paving scam, or if you are a victim of the scam, please contact Detective Dillard, with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, at 303-441-4992.
