My driveway was a big job, tearing out the old asphalt, building up the poor base material as needed and installing over 9000 square feet of asphalt. The pricing on all the bids I got were similar, but I chose Guarco Construction because the owner Carl explained exactly what he was going to do, what we might find along the way that would cause additional work at additional cost, and how those additional costs would be calculated. He then explained his process of paving, giving me two to two and a half inches of compressed asphalt. I knew my driveway would need additional work before the paving to prepare the base properly. Carl gave me the confidence that as we got into the job, I would be treated fairly as the additional costs. I felt the other contractors I interviewed were giving me a sales pitch, and left with the impression that any extras were going to be a profit center for them. Guarco showed up for the site preparation as expected, and the crew did an amazing job tearing out my old driveway in less than one day. They were very accommodating allowing us to get in and out as needed. As they found issues, Carl brought them to my attention and suggested a course of action along with what it would cost. I felt involved with the project every step of the way, and felt the additional charges were very reasonable. I explained my desire for minor changes to the grading, and job foreman Tony listened to what I wanted and did an expert job with the final grade, blending in the different elevations to give the driveway an excellent flow and visual appeal. Asphalt was done on one long day, and the finished product is superb. Any job of this scope is going to have little issues at the end, and Carl didn't hesitate to put the manpower and resources needed to make me happy. A new driveway is a big investment, and the kind of job that most homeowners are not all that familiar with. It is important to chose a contractor that will do good job while charging a fair price. I came away with the impression that Carl Guarco is an honest man, takes pride in delivering an exceptional product, and wants to make his customers happy.
