Ruck Paving

I was impressed with the timeliness of Bob Ruck’s response to my initial call. He literally showed up at my place within 30 minutes of my call, and provided me with an estimate. His estimate was the better of two I received and accepted his offer. I was flexible on start date and time. He provided me with a day’s notice, so I could accomplish the tasks I needed to do to clear out the 1920-something barn board garage. His crew of six showed up on the day of the project. The crew worked well with one another removing the former part concrete-part plywood-part carpeting, and completed the new asphalting before lunch. I was given precise instructions on proper care of the new asphalt. Overall, I was very impressed with the entire process and would certainly recommend and use them again for any future project.

lot of cracks were not filled or filled very little. just not happy with their job

I contacted Ruck Paving in March of 2019 through the form on their site. Bobby got back to me within a day and went out to my house and did up a quote and emailed it later that same day. I had no idea what a driveway should cost, but after some Googling it seemed like a reasonable price. He quoted $5 a square foot for everything including tear-out, grading and the new driveway. (2019 pricing). His quote also included recently done driveways in my area so I could drive/walk by and check them out. I wasn't ready for the driveway immediately, so about 5 months later he checked in to see when I'd like it done. I told him mid to late September would work. He came and ripped out the old driveway on September 10. He was back on September 19th to do the new driveway. He and his crew showed up just after 8 AM, ready to go. They were done by 9:30. I didn't realize it would be so quick but he had a crew of 6 and it was obvious that they all worked well together. It was like watching a paving symphony. The finished driveway looks great, no more heaves or cracks and it actually matches up with the garage floor, a first in 14 years in the house! You'll end up with a quality product if you choose Billy Ruck and his crew.

The section of driveway that required paving was approximately 300 feet long, straight and flat. Ruck Paving was hired to prepare it and pave it. They showed up at 8am in the morning and were completely done with the job by 1pm, which I thought seemed very fast. He told me to keep all cars off the pavement for 5 days, I kept it blocked off for 8 to be safe. Within 11 months severe cracking and crumbling started on both edges of the driveway in numerous places along its length. I called Bob and after several messages he contacted me back, told me that it was due to people driving on the edges (patently false) and he would “fix it” by torching the asphalt and melting the cracks. This did nothing but make it uglier. Now, almost three years later, the entire length of both sides of the driveway is crumbling and cracking off, up to 8” from the edge or more. Every contractor I have spoken to since he did the job has told me that the cracking is due to poor preparation; it was a rush job and after spending thousands of dollars, it looks terrible. None of my calls have been returned from him since they came and “fixed” it in 2017. No one else will touch it without redoing it. I would highly recommend avoiding Ruck Paving.

Great! Ruck was the only asphalt company that would talk with us because it was a small job; other companies wouldn't even take our number or hear details about what we needed. Ruck came out and gave us an estimate and said he'd let us know when they'd be here. He added us onto another larger job that he had in our area. Called when he said he would. Came when he said he would. Job was done quickly, professionally, and clean up was great. Most definitely recommend him.

The guys were prompt getting here on a Saturday morning, were VERY pleasant, did the job excellently, cleaned up and were gone. Because of our schedule we had to reschedule at one point and Bob was very understanding and pleasant. He was very easy to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to others for this type of job.

Bob Ruck was not the lowest nor the highest estimate but he provided a detailed work plan and he stuck to it. He was punctual, quick and professional he and his team did an excellent job.

Work was performed and completed on the scheduled dates

Ruck Paving's crew did a fantastic job! They removed all the old pavement and regraded the driveway in the morning and paved it right after lunch. From the time I contacted Ruck to the time they were here doing the job was less than 2 weeks. A previous contract that I had with another paving outfit hasn't even contacted me in over 5 months. Will never use them again. If I need paving done I will call Ruck. Professional crew from start to finish.

They were prompt, efficient and friendly. The work was done very well. Couldn’t be happier.

BOBBY WAS VERY RESPONSIVE, KEPT US UPDATED ON SCHEDULING AND WORK WAS DONE ON TIME AND AS PLANNED

Ruck Paving were professional start to finish. I first contacted Bob Ruck requesting a quote to have my old driveway pulled up, widened and repaved. I had a written proposal the same day. We decided to sign contract and start the project. He said we would be paved and 100% complete early September and here we are September 5th complete. Communication was perfect. The crew were polite and very respectful of our property and cleaned up after every visit. I can't say enough about Ruck Paving. If I had known it would be this easy I would have completed years ago.

Very well, easy to work with and job is well done

Awesome, these guys were professional, prompt, and the driveway looks great.

Ruck Paving was prompt, professional, communicative, quick, hard-working, and we are very happy with the results of their work.

Crew was on time efficient and finished early. Bobby was great to work with!

We're so happy that we hired Bobby Ruck & crew to pave our driveway. Great communication, professionalism, hard workers--super result! Since it's been raining a lot we could check the grading soon after it was done & it's just the way we hoped it would be. No water pooling, good run-off towards the street. Would hire them again in a nano-second! Thank you, Bobby Ruck & everyone in the company.

I was very impressed by the quality of the work and the professionalism of the service. I called Bob and he got back to me right away and came to give me an estimate that same day. He asked good questions and made sure he knew exactly what I wanted done. He assured me that he would be able to get the job done in a timely manner. When I called him back to go over the estimate he got back to me that same day and answered all of my questions. We scheduled the work to begin within a week or two. When the time came for the work to be done he gave me a time frame for completion and it was very accurate. The work was performed with a large crew who worked very hard and professionally. The whole process took less than a week to excavate, prep and pave the area. Bob was in communication with me the whole time so that I knew when to have cars removed from the area. I was very happy with the final product. The parking areas are graded perfectly and everything is exactly how I pictured it. They cut out the old pavement and lined up the new seamlessly. They cleaned up everything and left the place spotless and provided cones to mark off areas that needed to cool before they were ready for cars. I am really happy with the level of customer service and can't say enough about the joys of pulling into those new parking spaces.

Ruck Paving advertises it serves Cumberland county, yet when I contacted them to schedule I received a terse response that said "we do not service that area". Harpswell is in Cumberland County so as far as I'm concerned they are doing false advertising and I am quite shocked Angie's List is showing this company with an A rating. Annoyed I just joined Angie's List today and first company I wanted to use that had an A rating turned out to be a loser.

The crew, including Bob, did a great job. They were punctual, courteous and professional. The driveway looks fantastic, and they cleaned up very nicely. The crew seemed to work well together. Their communication with each other seemed to be cordial and respectful. I would recommend Ruck Paving to anyone looking for a paver in southern Maine.

Richard the owner came to give us the estimate which had 2 different owners to coordinate. He gave us a fair price and did exactly what he said he would do and when he said he would do it. He paved over a base surface that had been done years before but he said it should be no problem, thus saving hundreds in unnecessary charges. He had 2 rocks to dig up that were causing bumps in the drveway and put on a nice topcoat.

I called 3 different places for estimates. Bobby Ruck was by far the most responsive and helpful. He came within 24 hours to provide estimate. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The day his crew came to do the work, they were on-time and didn't rest for a minute - no cigarette breaks for this crew. Work was completed as promised

After our failed retaining wall was replaced, Bobby Ruck and crew repaved the 12' x 40' repair area, grading carefully to ensure water flow went away from the barn and new retaining wall. Came when they said, did what they promised quickly, competently and cheerfully. Bob Ruck is a thorough pro at his craft, is prompt and reasonably priced. I've hired him before and will do so again if needed.

Bobby was very responsive - he came out within 24 hours to make an estimate and emailed a quote that evening. They came when they said they would and the job was done in 6 hours. They exercised great care where the asphalt met the garage and a paved walkway. We walked through the job just before they started and Bobby pointed out that one portion of the driveway that was very narrow could be widened easily. We agreed and it was done - no fuss, no delay, no problem. Watching the crew was like watching a ballet. These guys know what they are doing.
