I promptly received a call from one contractor the next evening. He answered a lot of questions but I decided to take a little more time and shop around to compare with him. He did recommend another company. Very nice person, even tho this is his busiest season, I was impressed that he responded so fast.

Thank you for your follow up about my search. Fortunately I found a highly rated paving company in my area and they are installing my new driveway right now.

I find your website very informative esp in the initial stages of researching driveways. you did not have any referrals in my area, only a partner network who gave me bbc exterior and paving. i had set up an appointment with mark, the owner but then later called to express some doubts as to whether i would need another asphalt estimate. he convinced me that his work was good and that we should still meet and if i approve the estimate that he could start right away?? i said i would send drawings but since we were meeting the next day, did not email them. he never showed up for the appointment or called. i should have been a bit weary about someone who commits to starting the next day. and did he not show bc i did not email the drawings? i know this was not your referral but home advisor needs better vetting.
