"INITIAL CONTACT The company was quick to respond to our inquiry and set up time for a consultation. What we thought was a consult to receive a bid became a high pressure sales pitch. And our down payment to secure the quote for the job was actually a binding contract for the FULL scope of the project with significant penalties for cancelling (read the contract fine print!). A cancellation window of three days to release liability for the FULL AMOUNT OF THE PROJECT was a big surprise as we read through all the paperwork the days following. We have learned a hard lesson not to sign anything after 9pm, we were both so tired and hungry at that late hour we did not thoroughly read through all the paperwork. Our mistake. We obviously ended up moving forward with the project and got more comfortable after reading through reviews of the quality of the work and the experience customers had once they got past the “sales” call. Most were very positive. We also found that no other company offered the length of warranty that System Pavers does and with the large and challenging area, sloped terrain with drainage challenges and more than 5K sq ft, we felt comfortable that this was the right company to do the work. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND RENDERING Overall, the software was helpful in deciding the layout and the borders of the pavers. But we still had a hard time selecting the type of stone with the generic 3D rendering. We had to trust our instincts with the pictures in the catalogues provided to decide what to order. Once we decided on the Mega Lafite and Mega Arbel stones from Belgard, Jeff worked very hard with the vendor to get the color we wanted (as the Victorian shade had been discontinued) at the price we needed to fit our budget. We certainly appreciated this extra effort with the vendor. QUALITY OF WORK We read many reviews relative to the installation and quality of work. There was one team, led by Moises Ponce, that had received nothing but positive reviews. We were grateful that Jeff and the management team at System Pavers reworked the summer schedule so that Moises and his crew were able to take on our project. His team did outstanding work, they were always professional, and cleaned up after themselves. The installation of the pavers and the edging was seamless and the final product has more than met our expectations, it is really beautiful. We get many compliments on our new driveway and front yard and know that we enhanced the value of our home substantially. The team had to address some drainage challenges in front of our house and shop and the choice of permeable pavers so far seems to be functioning well through the first set of rainfall and falling leaves. The only challenges we had with the installation process involved two areas. The first had to do with communication between the Designer, the Project Manager and the Installation crew doing the work. There were times they were not on the same page and luckily one of us was home when most of the work was completed and could monitor the install. The second had to do with the landscaping/grass once the stones were completed. We had to move a portion of our in-ground sprinkler system prior to the new sod being installed. The day the ground was prepped for the sod, several of the sprinkler heads were completely buried and one was even on its side, covered with mulch. Had we not been on site and pointed this out, there could have been significant rework to correct after the sod had been installed. OVERALL We are very satisfied with the work and the end result. The cost for the work may be more than the value added to our home but there were other factors/benefits we considered in the choice of stone we selected and the overall design that increased the price beyond our original budget. It has transformed our front entrance and our front yard into our own private retreat and we no longer have to deal with the dust tracked into our home from our previous gravel driveway."

"Excellent experience. Nathan came right out and provided us with an estimate that detailed the process and products used for the work that he would do. He communicated fully with us from day one and navigated weather challenges with skillful efficiency. He is dedicated to customer satifaction and we were thrilled with the work that he did for us. We never dreamed that our old asphalt could look brand new again! In addition to being responsible and reliable he is a really nice guy. We highly recommend Nathan and AAM LLC and we will continue to rely on his service and quality work in the future."

"The team from Bull construction, including the owner Greg Bull, were great. They took a difficult project, involving both the city of Albany and Benton County permits, and made it possible for us to finally have our RV at home, instead of storage. They were on time and their bid was more reasonable than others. They answered all our questions and explained what they were doing and why. We would use them again anytime. We highly recommend Bull Construction. Thanks guys."

"They did exactly what I asked them to do. They stayed exactly on budget and it was a good experience."

"They were absolutely wonderful. Will sure recommend them"

"It was great, amazing. They were fast and professional. I'll definitely use them again."

"Already wasted enough of my time on this company so I'll make it short in hopes that I can save you the headache. Bought a house in Jan 2022, the asphalt was "new", about 4 months old. The project required a permit per the county, there is no permit on file for the job. Finally got a hold of someone name "Charles Holmes" to come out and confirm that he completed the project. He came, confirmed that he completed the job in Oct 2021 and that any issues I was having weren't his problem because "that's how the lady (the previous owner) wanted it". He said he was "95% sure" he didn't need a permit for the driveway job. The asphalt is uneven, crumbling, causes flooding back up to the house, and its extends 10ft over a utility easement and into the right-of-way. He said he would demolish all the asphalt for $4,000, which I declined. He refused to honor or acknowledge the 1-year required warranty. A simple CCB search for BlackRock llc. confirms that this isn't a business you want to contract with. Richard Pierce is listed as the owner but all numbers online are dead-ends. Anyways, do your CCB search, these guys have multiple complaints, penalties, and suspensions. I've seen other comments where the owners reply to bad reviews and argue with customers so, Charles & Richard, if you're reading this, don't even bother wasting my time and just respond to the CCB complaint."
