Despite the difficult weather conditions from driving rain for days and an oppressive heat wave, the workers persevered with minimal disruptions. The work and the price were fair and generous. Mike supported us at every step. He answered all questions we posed to him. He is clearly knowledgeable and innovative in identifying and resolving potential problems. His keen eye for quality and complimentary additions to our yard were great. The fire pit he recommended and built really made our property look and feel even more inviting. We will have Mike and his crew back for other projects in the future!

Avoid DBS!! I was…read moremistakenly thinking Dave is a honest and stand-up business man after meeting him first time. First meet went well. He patiently talked me through the works involved and gave us quotes(paver and asphalt options). After about 2 weeks, we decided to choose DBS and go with asphalt. I requested to meet and sign contract. Dave came and asked for $2000 or $3000 deposit. Initially he told us no payment until work is completed for asphalt(I have copy of text message). So, I told him I prefer to pay after the job is done. Then he started saying I offered to give him deposit when contract is signed. I NEVER told him that(why would I do that?!). But in the end he said that's fine and told us the job will not start at least for another 2 weeks. I'm okay with that and we both signed the contract. We patiently waited 2+ weeks and I tried reaching out to him to find out if job is scheduled via calls and text messages and he never responded. It's been more than a month now. We decided to pass DBS and find some other professional paving company(Hicks Paving) for the job. I'm glad that I did not give Dave/DBS the $2-3K deposit requested. However we lost one month naively waiting Dave/DBS. Honestly, I would be ok if he could at least show some professional courtesy by letting us know he couldn't take the job at this moment. But he chose to ignore. Are you comfortable giving business to owner like this? I am not.
