Update to 2020 review: Since we moved to Hollis about thirty years ago, we have had a lot of…read moreadmiration for Skillings. They respond very quickly when needed to, and they have professional and knowledgeable team members. We recently had Dennis and his crew dig a new well at our house. Of course there is a lot of unknown info that we wanted to know (i.e., water flow rate), so we went into this with a fair amount of doubt. I knew it wouldn't be his fault if Dennis couldn't locate a good source of water. But he did! He took us from 4 gpm to 10 gpm. We are in Florida right now but I can't wait to get home to see our faucets blasting water out! This will also help a lot with our 21-zone irrigation system. Thanks to Skillings for another job well done. I recommend them with confidence!

I'm writing this review after working with Skillings for nearly five years at my home in MA. I have…read morea point well with a jet pump, and because there are relatively few companies experienced with these systems, I trusted Skillings as the experts. Unfortunately, that trust ultimately cost me several thousand dollars. Over the years, I had repeated issues with my pump. What started as a rebuild eventually turned into two more rebuilds. Looking back, I could have replaced the pump multiple times for what I spent trying to repair it. The biggest issue came when Skillings installed a filtration system. Someone came out, evaluated my setup, and quoted approximately $1,000 for the work. The system they installed was not appropriate for my application. For nearly a year, I dealt with ongoing sediment and filtration problems. The system failed to properly remove sediment, contributed to another pump failure, and allowed sediment into my irrigation system, ultimately causing several thousand dollars in damage. I didn't write this review after one bad experience, and I didn't write it after two, either. I continued working with Skillings for years, gave them feedback, and gave them multiple opportunities to address the problems. It wasn't until I finally hired a competent irrigation specialist and pump specialist who properly evaluated my system and installed the correct equipment that I realized just how badly my system had been handled. I understand how damaging a review like this can be to a company, and I don't write it lightly. But after years of service calls, repeated pump failures, wasted time, and several thousand dollars in unnecessary costs and damage, I feel obligated to share my experience. I trusted Skillings because I believed they were the experts, and unfortunately, that trust turned into a very expensive lesson.

By the time I had changed the filter (and fixed the problem), they had already dispatched a truck and refused to take anything for the visit. I have used them to change my water tank as well as my pump and have always been more than happy with the work.

However, the resulting area of our backyard was not what I envisioned once the trees were down. So I called a few places and decided on Hudson Paving and Excavation due to the great vibe I got from Shane. They leveled a hill, and grated the area so that we now, once we loom and plant seed, will have a very usable back yard. Will definitely use them again, and recommend them to every one we know.

It took me days to get quotes back from other paving contractors. Richard not only made the time to come out the next day, but he also gave us a written fair estimate and was able to schedule the paving job by the end of the week! He was very friendly and introduced himself to me Friday morning and we went over exactly the area that needed to be done before they went to work. I was put at ease and was confident after his transparency. His team is very professional, diligent and detailed in their work. Perfectionist would be the best word to describe them. You can definitely tell that they have been doing this for many years. I'm so happy with my new driveway, thank you for making it happen. I would absolutely work with them again in the future. Thank you so much A Plus Paving team for quickness and efficiency from us at Princeton Street in Chelmsford!

They were doing a job for my neighbor and decided to treat my house and yard like a dumping ground. Blocked my mailbox, parked in front of fire hydrant, left black tar all over street front of my house (not the one they were hired for) While I was talking to my wife, some clown sitting in his truck, decided to open his door and start yapping at me about who owns the road ?? I was talking to wife about her work and that guy decided to make an assumption that was 100% incorrect. I had asked another of the guys earlier to just be careful near my yard and that conversation was fine. He was a nice guy and I even brought them over a couple powerades after. Why the other guy decided to be a jerk and create a problem when one didn't exist is beyond me. Then a boss or possibly an owner of EJ Paving, old guy with white hair, shows up with a Methuen PD officer in his EJ work vehicle trying to make me move my car ?? Not sure how that works ?? It must be nice to get that kind of service from police ( who didn't seem to care very much that they were parked directly in front of a fire Hydrant ). I need my driveway done but I will NEVER use EJ Paving and I dont have a single nice thing to say about whoever runs things. Still am really confused as to why the officer is riding around with EJ Paving and acting as hired intimidation though ?? Out of fairness ill say again that my review isn't related to the paving but it IS related to the total lack of professionalism or respect of property surrounding job site. I'm sure they don't care about reviews based on how 2 of the 3 people chose to handle something they created. If I have an issue with something, or someone, I am very capable of handling it like an adult, EJ may want to give it a try given the bad rep they already have. finally, I will say this about the work they do, if you want to see the quality of the work EJ Paving is capable of- take a drive around Archibald Ave and that'll tell you a lot. I wouldn't hire them !!! The pics show the dosrect to property
