I recently had some siding work done, and I noticed that my driveway has several gouges from the dumpster they used. The damage is over an inch deep! Is this typical for a dumpster on a driveway, or should the dumpster or siding crew take responsibility for the damage?

Looks like this falls on your siding contractor, especially if they didn’t exclude driveway damage in their contract. You should definitely raise this with them!
First, check your contract to see if it mentions anything about potential damage. It’s also worth asking why they didn’t lay down plywood to protect your driveway. You might want to contact the siding company to discuss payment for the repairs, especially since they seem to be at fault here.
A reasonable repair might involve filling in those gouges, but honestly, I’m not sure how it’s done. Some companies place boards under their dumpsters to avoid this situation—maybe yours dropped the ball there!
