When researching contractors to do our 300 foot plus driveway, we decided right off the bat that we…read morewanted a local company that had been in the area for years with an excellent reputation. We contacted a couple of contractors and eventually decided on Driveways by Us. The owner himself came to do the estimate - which was impressive in this day and age. We were concerned about the fact that we had mature crepe myrtle trees on both sides of our current gravel driveway. He explained what was needed and let us know his entire family was involved in the business and did the actual work. Another impressive fact we didn't expect. We also received a reasonable estimate. On the day of the project, the company showed up as expected, owner, sons, and daughter were all present and a few hours later, we had a beautiful asphalt driveway! This family knows their business! They are very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. We are so glad we went with Driveways by Us! We have a fabulous asphalt driveway that we are proud of!!! Thank you - Driveways by Us!!

It was very hard to find someone to do driveways out in Locust Grove…read more Jennifer at Driveways By Us responded and was great to work with. Turns out we have some really odd connections... nice connections... but the kind where you are like, wow, maybe this was supposed to be. Jennifer was VERY prompt and called me the next day to say she was in the area if I wanted her to stop by and measure the driveway. I saw where someone said they got a military discount. I didn't know about the military discount, my whole family including me are military, but it wasn't mentioned. However, because we were flexible enough to work around their schedule and when there were in the neighborhood, she said they could give us a discount. It did take a couple of weeks to get it scheduled b/c I had to find financing and then I really needed that price break, so I was trying to work with their schedule. But Jennifer was great and kept in touch checking on me throughout the following weeks for when I was able to secure the funds. To sum it up, Driveways is a family owned and operated company with Jennifer, her dad, and her brother all there on the day they laid the driveway. They were VERY fast, very efficient, and worked to get everything done in an hour and a half. It was fun to watch them work! I would recommend them to family and friends.

Use caution when considering this company. I selected this company based on its strong online…read moreratings and reviews. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect those expectations. After the original installation, I raised concerns regarding the quality of the workmanship. The owner, Mark, indicated that he wanted to resolve the issues and offered to apply an additional topcoat to the driveway for an added cost. Based on those representations, I gave the company an opportunity to address the concerns. Despite investing nearly $17,000 in this project, the driveway remains unsatisfactory in my opinion. The surface appears patchy, contains depressions where water collects, and portions of the material began deteriorating almost immediately after installation. These issues have required me to seek evaluation and repairs from another contractor. I was initially assured that the company would stand behind its work and was asked not to engage another contractor while the matter was being addressed. However, my subsequent attempts to obtain a response and resolution have gone unanswered. Due to the condition of the driveway and the lack of resolution, I am currently pursuing legal remedies and have retained legal counsel regarding this matter. Consistent with my attorney's advice, I may provide additional documentation relevant to my experience, including photographs, video footage of the installation process, and records of conversations that occurred during the project, so that others may make their own informed decisions. This review reflects my personal experience and opinions regarding the workmanship, responsiveness, and overall handling of this project. I encourage prospective customers to conduct thorough due diligence, obtain detailed written warranties, and carefully document all project communications before proceeding.

We had a project completed by R.E. Horner Construction. This Project consisted of adding a 12x19…read moreaddition, a screened in deck, with a remodeled and extended bathroom, also we added a new roof and vinyl siding. R.E. Horner is owned and operated by Brian Vaughan and we found him very professional, knowledgeable and respectful. We had screened/interviewed 5 different contracting companies. R.E. Horner was not the highest nor were they the lowest contractor's bid.  We choose R.E. Horner because Brian seemed to know what he was doing and had great ideas. We are working professionals in the DMV area who had never taken on such a major project or what we considered a major project. Bottom Line Up Front: Overall, all work is great, would we use R.E. Horner again? Absolutely, would we recommend R.E. Horner? Absolutely, Brian knows everything that is supposed to be done, and his oversight and management of his subcontractors are great and he does ensure they do their jobs correctly. Lessons We Learned as Customers: * We have to be more specific in the details to of the contract, for such things as cabinets, facets, toilets, specific light switches and outlets. Verbal exchanges are good but are NOT bidding. * Communication and response criteria must be established within the contract whereas the contractor will have to get back with you within a certain periodicity. * Inspections were conducted by the county, however, review and workmanship inspections should be conducted routinely by the customer and have it in the contract, if the contractor indicates that you will like the project when it is completed, acknowledge but ensure you inspect and do quality assurance during the process. * When the contractor accepts the job, that acceptance means they understand the amount of travel and routes they are taking to your location or residence. So, their commute or any experiences they encounter are not applicable to the project. * As a customer, you have to stay engaged, regardless of the comfort level you have with the contractor, this will assist in ensuring proper caulking, hardware installation and any other materials that are installed to your liking and comfort. * As a customer ensure you are getting what you are paying for because in business sometimes we can blindly trust, when it's just business to the contractor. So, understanding contractor grade products keep their profits high, so if you do have an allowance for any item, actually pick the items yourself but stay within your limits, don't defer because this is business and the contractor will try to keep the products as low priced as possible (quality). * Understand your county permit process and understand it may take weeks if not months to get the appropriate permits to accomplish your task. * Expect limited or no communication once the project is completed and the final check is cut by the contractor. R.E. Horner is a great Class A contractor and will get the job done. We are overall satisfied with the project and got a beneficial education in the process. As with anything else it's the nature of the beast, however, next time we will know how to tame the beast a little better. Hope this was insightful for all. C & M
