Driveway Installation

I recently built my new house and was acting as the general contractor and filling some of the roles of the trades. I have over 20 years construction experience and this was not my first build. I contacted several paving companies in the area for quotes and had pricing from the prior year from friends that had paving work done so had an idea regarding how much I should be paying from other companies. Road Readie was not only the first company to call, but also came when I needed them to come to do the quote, prepare the driveway, and do the paving. Other companies I contacted in early April blew me off saying the season hadn't opened up yet as road bans were in effect until May. As I deal with project management, the attitudes of other companies was very annoying as I couldn't rely on them to schedule work. Not the case with Road Readie. Chris explained that he could provide a quote but couldn't do the work until May because of the road bans so rather than not showing up, telling me they wouldn't come until late April to quote, or calling back 2-3 weeks later as most of the other companies did, Chris came out right away and was upfront with the timelines and costs and provided a plan to get the work done that fit both our needs and my urgency to get the work programmed and completed due to other circumstances with the build. In terms of quality of work, I am very happy. The crew was quick, careful, and methodical in their approach ensuring that the newly laid lawn and bordering concrete wasn't damaged. The base layer was well constructed out of appropriate material which was one of my concerns as a lot of fill was needed. All the work demonstrated that these guys knew their craft and were experts in it. Chris and Tim did an excellent job and I am very happy to have hired them. If you choose to hire them, my recommendation would be to be flexible and book early as they book up quickly with a lot of work. By being flexible, they are able to do multiple jobs in the area at once which keeps costs down for you. The price was as good, if not better, than competitors for comparable square footage, but the service was much better. I would highly recommend them. I have posted this review on Google and their website. Price does not include taxes or permits which I had to pull from the town. If you need permits, pull them early to avoid delays.

Approximate cost of services:
$4,200.00
