R&W Paving

From the person that came to the house to give the estimate, to the crews that did the paving, all were very professional and did an excellent job. The office called us back whenever we left a message and kept us informed throughout each step of the process. The crews were very polite and professional, and answered all our questions. They did exactly what was stated in the contract. Our driveway looks great. All our neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. I would absolutely recommend R & W Paving to neighbors and friends looking to have their driveway replaced.

never heard from them, called after a week and got someone who said the number "could be for R & W, if I needed them, did I want to leave a message" Very unprofessional person should not be answering a business phone

Kevin and Karen and crews are excellent to work with.

Very well. They helped with good advice on the best configuration for the driveway. They removed some small trees, graded the area perfectly, and provided a 6" to 8" layer of stone for drainage, followed by a 2-1/2" asphalt layer. Prompt and professional

R&W kept to their timeline. They managed traffic on my busy street. Professional job by all accounts.

see above description.

Very efficient, listened and responded to our concerns

Great job, did what I asked

The only problem we had was trying to get in touch with them. I nearly always got the answering service.

The job was not completed. They forgot to do the job last summer AND forgot again this summer. When calling I only get the answering service. The company has not returned any calls since last fall. I called the cell phone of one of the companies employees at the end of this summer. He was very apologetic and told me he would take care of the job. I have heard nothing since. I left a message on his cell called the answering service one more time and still nothing. It may have taken me two years to get the message but clearly they don't want my business.

Kevin and the guys from R&W Paving did a great job on my driveway. So far, so good. It's still less than a week since it was installed, but it looks fantastic. The crew dug out my old driveway in mid-June, then placed new gravel and had us drive on it for more than 4 weeks. I got a call two days in advance of when they wanted to come to place the asphalt (2.5 inches deep, rolled) so I could make sure the driveway was cleared off and that I had alternate parking arrangements. All calls go through an answering service, so there is a wait to get a call back. But they were responsive to my calls. All in all, nice job. Price was fair for the work to be done and size of driveway.

I first searched Angie's List and read several reviews of driveway companies to determine the 'top 3'.  I quickly heard back from both R&W and B&M to setup a date for an estimate.  Magic Seal didn't even return my call for over 4 weeks so apparently they had enough business and helped me narrow down to 2 choices.  Both estimates were very close in $ terms, but I felt more comfortable with the way Kevin described the work, and they had a longer warranty of 3 years.

The details...

9/30/14  Kevin came to my house, explained their process, asked about my concerns and then took some measurements.  My old driveway had deep ruts from my truck so that was a concern and I also had a large puddle at end of my old driveway which I wanted to avoid.  Kevin explained they like to tear out the old driveway, install and compact crushed stone and drive on it for a couple weeks to make sure it's fully settled before applying asphalt.  He also described how he'd build up towards the end of my driveway to prevent the large rain puddles.  I also wanted my front cement pad trimmed flush and extend the driveway about a foot.  Kevin was patient and described the quality of their work.

4/21/15  It was getting too late in the season and I didn't want to chance winter came too soon so I held off until Spring for the old driveway to be dug up and install and compact the crushed stone.  I left work to check in on the progress and by the time I got home, they were almost done.

5/11/15  Driveway was checked for grade, compacted and asphalt applied.  I left work to check on progress and they were just finishing by the time I arrived home.  They worked fast but efficient and the driveway looked great, my dad and I were impressed!  I followed their instructions and didn't drive on it for over a week.  Now, 6 months later it still looks great.  There are no depressions from my truck, and I love not having a huge puddle at the end of the driveway.

Yes, I waited a while to write a review but this was my first time using Angie's List and it was a good experience.  The quality of the their work will mean I won't be replacing it again for many, many years so until then, I'd recommend R&W to anyone who needs a new driveway!

Initially I scheduled the driveway paved job on July 28, 2015. They never showed up to do the excavating until September 10. And they only showed up because I relentlessly left messages for them to call me back, They do not due to the phone you have to leave a message with an answering service and they were very sparse in getting back to me after 5 PM. They showed up to do the excavating and told me that we would be a couple weeks to settle and then they would pave a couple weeks went by a month went by and two months went by and no one ever contacted me. I called several times to get it scheduled time the blue off both scheduled appointments and then had the nerve to call me two days later to reschedule again. I had to call and leave a message with their answering service that I was firing them and that they need not show up to complete the work. I received a strange message from them that they were putting my contract on hold. I guess they are not familiar with the word fired

I've called three times (August 6, 13, 17) and left messages with their answer service.
No one from R&W Paving has bothered to call me back.
I guest business must be very good indeed.
Very disappointed.
