Very disappointing experience. Hired them to repair and seal coat the driveway, a 2 step process. I'm sure it's a small job for them, but they took it. Estimator unbelievably rude to my wife. They did do a nice job on repair back in May. Have yet to return to fill cracks and seal coat (now July). When called company to complain about rude estimator and ask when job might be completed, owner's wife gets on phone and defends employee. She was also rude, but said she would take over our job from rude estimator and would call us by June 12 to schedule completion of job. That was May 20. Still no call (July 9) and no response to multiple phone messages. HORRIBLE communication and customer service. Will update if we ever hear back from this company. UPDATE: Owner's wife called in response to this post, not to my several unanswered phone calls. Work completed the following week. They did a beautiful job. Quality of work 5 stars. Communication with customers zero stars. read more

Best thing I can say is the job got done, you would think with such a company there would be more proffesionalism involved. I could have hired anyone at a fraction of the cost and received the same caliber of "crew" (I will leave that up to your imagination) to come out and pave my driveway. By the time the whole process is done you are probably looking at a full month from digging out till the paving truck comes. As a side note, everytime it rains I get reminded of Richards paving when I see water lying in their boot prints indented in my driveway. read more

Worst job ever ! The average parking lot looks better than my driveway. They did my driveway over 30 years ago so thought I would get the same perfection, wow how I was so wrong. I had my single driveway turned into a double. From the estimator to Richard himself what a total let down. Nothing but excuses, I guess when you get so big a little job means nothing to him. The driveway looks so smooth in spots and large stone in others. So many seams and high lips, it really looks like crap. They also cracked the concrete curbing with their paver and have yet offered to replace or repair it. Still waiting for them to come back and try to fix the appearance of the driveway if they can now. Please read this and take second thought of hiring Richards Paving as there are better pavers out there at a better price. read more

Seems I need to update my opinion. After reading my review Richard ( the owner) contacted my via e-mail very upset that we were so unhappy. He gave me his cell phone number and asked me to call him. We had a very nice conversation and he was very disappointed that an employee of his would not realize he has a satisfied customer policy. Seems my review should have been mainly pointed at the representative that came when we complained. Richard asked us to pick a color of concrete stain and he would buy it and have someone apply it. They did the job on Saturday and it looks great no more blue blotches. Thank you Richard. It seems there really are owners that care. I suggest if you have trouble with a representative of this company go over their head. I wish I had realized the guy we dealt with was not a true representative of this company. read more

There are some crack lines and a hole not filled after the job. Upon request they came back and said they would come back the next day to take care of it because the new surface was soft. Waited for them the next day from morning till afternoon. Called and was told they would not come back. Contacted them and received no reply. The crack lines were not properly sealed. They are opening up in just a few weeks. read more

All small cracks got worse. The man who did the driveway said he would come back to redo it bc he stated it did not go on right and he needed to redo the work to fix it. I texted and called - no response. He kept giving me the run around as to when he would fix it. Called the owner, she said she would handle it and that he was a contractor who did the work (not my problem). I received NO call back or fixing of their awful work. Called them again and no answer/mailbox full. Now I have to hire another company to fix this mess. I plan to file a small claims suit. Do yourself a favor and select a reputable company, not this place!

Ultimately they suggested it could be a problem with the stones in the wall. Disciple came out, recommended a strategy of replacing a couple of stones, re-pointing the rest of the area and applying sealant over the whole section. Work was scheduled promptly. The guys were very friendly and professional. The job was finished within 10 days (mortar needed to cure before sealant could be applied) and it looks great. Now we have to wait for a horrific rainstorm to see if that solves the problem.

The employee who…read morecame to see my home (I believe his name was Charles) provided a few details about what they would do but said he'd get back to me with an estimate "later today or tomorrow". After a week, I called to follow up and was told I'd hear back "later that day or the next." After another week of no contact, I called back again and spoke to a man named Nathan who told me that he would follow up with me (you guessed it) "later that day or the next". Still no call or text. Very frustrating as it's raining a lot lately and we want our external stucco wall repaired before any water damage occurs. I guess maybe they don't need my business? Can't say anything about their work but this customer service experience makes me question their reliability and attention to detail. Your experience may vary, but this was mine, for what it's worth.

My husband put in a patio and sidewalk along our house using pavers as his first retirement project. It was great at first but soon became a safety hazard. Bill replaced both with stamped and/or textured cement work. Our yard slants and there was a rotted tree stump under my husband's work. He ground out what was left of the stump and dug out more dirt than his estimate stated to make our new patio flatter and make 1 step possible instead of the 2 steps originally expected. By doing this we also no longer needed window guards for our basement windows. Our estimate also included a garbage can pad on one side of the sidewalk. When he went to do the work, he realized there would be a small area of grass between the two and offered to make it all one area at no additional cost. At the beginning of the job I asked him if he could give me an estimate for a cracked walkway out front and an estimate if we did the rock area alongside the walkway. I made it clear I understood that he would more than likely have to come back for that job as he was already backed up due to Mother Nature. He explained it was actually more time and cost effective to do the work at the same time. He pointed out that if we did the whole area it would save on maintenance as weeds are a problem with the rocks. We use pots for flowers anyway, so the no weed idea was a gift. We were having our back patio stamped, so when he gave me a price for the entire front area he asked if I wanted it stamped. I said yes if it wasn't too costly or a problem for him. He gave me a fair price for stamping the entire front and I was happy. The next day he explained he would like to texturize the sidewalk to tie the front and back together but there would be no added cost. I was thrilled. As we are novices when it comes to concrete his suggestions as a professional were much appreciated. He asked if we wanted the stamping straight or on an angle. Again, we were clueless, but Bill explained an angle usually looked nicer and made the work pop. He included us in every decision regardless of our lack of knowledge. Bill Smith is a detail guy. You may not think of it, but he will. He will suggest and explain. He was as concerned about a quality job, that made us happy, just about as much as we were. He was a true pleasure to work with.

But after hiring Will his professionalism and expertise only became more prevalent.

Working with him was stress and worry free. --A pleasure, especially after working with 2 non professionals. Will always got back to us immediately. In addition to being prompt and knowledgeable, Will was most importantly, kind and friendly. In sum, if you are considering concrete work call Bill Smith concrete. Period. It will be the best decision you will make.
