Company was very easy to work with. They gave me a bid and explained what needed to be done and what schedule would be. They were very professional. They came when they promised and completed the work on time (even in the 95 degree heat). They left great instructions regarding when I could drive on it and what I should and should not do while garage floor and driveway cure. I would absolutely hire them again. They may not be the cheapest, but they certainly provide value for what you get.

Received a visit from the estimator the same day I called. That person stated the work could not be done because the curb cut was on city property/easement. I called the City of Robbinsdale who stated WITH a permit, the work can be done. The estimator, with 20 years of experience as he stated, clearly was not familiar with city permits. I was disappointed. I have hired someone else.

We are very pleased with the final result. We upgraded our sidewalk to a colored concrete that matched our house trim and also stamped it and had an oval shaped patio area off the front stoop built into the sidewalk. The end product is very striking and we have had numerous comments from neighbors and multiple others that were walking. Our curb appeal went up dramatically and we know this will greatly add to our resale value.

Set the appointment up a week in advance. Heather, was very kind and suggested Randy the owner be the one to make the appointment. We were looking forward to the appointment, arranged our schedules to accommodate the 9am appointment. I had a missed call and message at 7:30am from Randy asking if he could come early because his first appointment was a no-show. I called at 8 and said that would be great, but he proceeded to tell me he already headed back and doesn't need any more work this year as they are plenty busy! I was disappointed, and certainly can't make someone work if they don't want to, but don't waste my time setting up the appointment. I found it completely rude and unprofessional.

I thought the estimate was very high in relation to the small area. The estimate was detailed. They were punctual. I would get a quote from them again if I was going to do the entire driveway.

The finished product stood-out for quality work. Responsiveness sometimes was slow, but we called the salesperson he got back here right away all the time.

I think the sales area could have been better. They didn't get back to us right away in the sales area. We asked them to followup with us about a sealer for the driveway and they were going to get back but then we haven't heard back from them on that. They actually were punctual.

Randy has a great eye for design and went far beyond what I would expect from a driveway company.  The product looks amazing and we receive many compliments from their work.  I would use them again in the future for sure.

The stamped concrete asphalt and apron for the driveway went fairly smoothly.  One of the blocks cracked (no real fault of the company, sometimes concrete just cracks) and the company fixed it no questions asked.
The original driveway was poorly done in the past, and ODD had to dig up remnants of 2 poorly poured concrete driveways put in by the builder.  It ended up taking an extra 3 tons of gravel to fill the driveway.  The asphalt was put in in October of 2014, but it was too cold to color the asphalt until late May/June of 2015.  The driveway looks great. 
There were a number of complications with this project that ODD handled very well and professionally.   ODD was not the cheapest option available, but the quality and professionalism was high, and the price was OK.  We would recommend them.

Randy came out to quote us for cement apron and asphalt driveway giving an idea of how much our neighbor's portion of the shared entry was.  He listened to our concerns regarding drainage and presented reasonable solutions.  Unfortunately, it was a bit out of our price range and something we wouldn't benefit from since we were selling our house.  He gave us the option of just replacing our apron, sidewalk, and step.  Based on how much the original concrete sunk, we found out we really only needed one step to get into the front door instead of 2.  The guys came to do the work and got it all done in one day.  They did a great job and While out checking on the guys, Randy pitched in and swung the 20 lb sledge hammer with the young ones.  A team effort where you can see how much pride Randy and crew has for each job.  Thank you and see you at our next house!
