A little while back I got a knock on my door out of the blue and it was Al from Noce's Paving. He…read moresaid that his paving crew was in the area and they were about to finish up another job and had nothing scheduled for the afternoon and was wondering if I was interested in re-paving part or all of my driveway.....TODAY! Well despite my driveway having a lot of cracks with weeds growing out of them, I hadn't really seriously considered taking on the time and expense of a full re-paving as my driveway is about 270 feet long and has a small parking area that is about 1000 square feet. Plus, I didn't know him from Adam and it kind of sounded like a scam. However, I was intrigued by the thought of a nice and clean new driveway so I asked him if he could give me an estimate on the cost. He got out his measuring equipment and took some measurements and did some calculations and he gave me a figure for just the long, skinny part of my driveway which was in the worst shape. He said that the parking area was still OK but would need to be redone in the not too distant future and my back area was still in very good shape and didn't need any work. Well being that I'm no expert on whether it was a good price or a highly inflated price, I said I would think about it and get back to him on it before the end of the day as I wanted to make a few calls and compare prices. Al was as polite as can be and handed me his card and said that that would be great and that he would wait for my call. So I did just that, I called 3 or 4 other pavers and they worked me up some quotes for me and lo and behold, Al's price beat them all by a comfortable margin. So I figured, what the heck and called him back and told him that I was in. He said that they would be over in about 30 minutes and sure enough, an entire paving crew with trucks and machinery was there as promised and they started prepping my driveway. I then asked Al if he would work out a deal for me if I wanted to get the parking area re-paved too and a few minutes later he gave me another very fair price quote. Well, me being me, I made a counteroffer on the price and a few minutes later we shook hands on the deal which worked out even better per square foot than before. So after a few hours of work, my driveway was finished and looked incredible. I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes on the curb appeal of my house. Not to mention how much easier it will be to clear the snow in the winter. My next-door neighbor came over while they were working and he was a bit incredulous about the whole knock on my door and offer to pave my driveway offer, but even he was impressed by how great it came out and said that he would like to re-pave his in the next year or two as well. So I have nothing by praise for Al & Noce's Paving. He was a straight shooter and didn't put any pressure on me to hire them. And then he gave me a very good price and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them. Once again, I thank Al and his crew for all their hard work! It's now been almost a year now and my driveway looks as beautiful as ever.

I had the pleasure of finding Pro Service Chimney & Masonry after two other local companies let me…read moredown without showing up and a couple ridiculous quotes from others that were just absurd for a day of work with minimal materials. Greg, the owner was different on the phone than everyone else. He was so friendly and didn't make my job sound like some very involved, expensive job. He gave me a rough quote from some pics I texted and was at my house to do an accurate quote just a few days later. His quote on the phone was in the range he gave me on our phone conversation, so I was happy. Greg arrived with a helper which was also very friendly, and both respected my property and home. They were on time, gave me the best price out of 4-5 quotes and they did a great job! I got on the roof and inspected up close, and I am so happy with the finished job. He also uses better cement and products than others in our area. Hire Greg and you won't be disappointed!

After dealing with nearly two months of delays, poor communication,…read moreand eventually a no-show from ASAP, I reached out to CH Paving late at night for an estimate to finish the job. By 7:30 the next morning they had already called me to discuss the project, and within an hour Charlie was at my house providing a quote. What really stood out was their reliability. The previous company kept delaying the project over even the slightest chance of rain, yet CH Paving showed up and got the job done right after a huge storm and even worked on a rainy day. The communication was excellent from the start. They called promptly, helped work through payment solutions, and in less than 24 hours they showed up and completed the job. Fast, reliable, professional, and genuinely good people. We are incredibly grateful and only wish we had used them from the beginning!
