I was very impressed with Lee, the owner. The work was done and I had a few questions. Lee came out, answered all my questions and personally fixed one of my concerns. The work was well done. I have an expensive stone wall on either side of my drive and the new driveway fits in perfectly. I would highly recommend Lee and his crew.
Description of Work: Lee replaced and repaired the bottom of our driveway. The drainage pipe was removed and replaced.

We did some research and indeed [member name removed] submitted a request on 3/11. Bill returned his call for an estimate 3 hours later and left a message. Two days later [name removed] returned the call and for whatever reason Bill was going to go by and look at it as opposed to setting up an actual appointment time to meet the customer. Unfortunately it feel through the cracks. I wish that [name removed] had contacted us first to see if we possibly had mailed the proposal to an incorrect email address. We could have then easily remedied the situation quickly. I apologize for the error on our part as we try to be as quick as possible with our estimates.

Overall good but not great. Positive: They put down extra base stone that other providers do not do. Price was reasonable. Not so good: There were a few spots were some fiberglass became exposed at the surface after the concrete solidified. While likely only an aesthetic issue over time, they were unable to repair adequately. Slow to respond.
Description of Work: New driveway (about 10x100ft) and sidewalk (from driveway to the house (about 4x20ft with a curve) and also a small side pad behind the garage.

They did a great job. Found that a tree stump had been paved over years ago had eventually worked it's way up among just time and gravity issues destroyed old driveway. They pulled everything out and did a great job. I'm not sure of price - was a while ago.

Blalock Paving was contacted on 9/16 for an estimate through the Angies List portal . We replied on 9/17 asking for specifics to give it to our correct estimator. Customer replied on 9/18 at 3:26 saying he’d like to meet beginning of following week in the afternoon. At 3:57 we set up an appointment for 1:00 on 9/23. On 9/22 at 10:00AM Mrs. [member name removed] called us cancelling appointment. Blalock Paving takes pride in keeping detailed records and contacting every customer to providing estimates. I don’t see how he can say we didn’t follow up to arrange a meeting.

tUpon their first visit, the foreman explained that I had too much moss on my driveway for the sealer to hold. So I killed the moss by repeated spraying with chlorine bleach as instructed. I was grateful that they did not apply the sealer without warning me that it would not hold. When they returned to finish the job, they did excellent work.
Description of Work: Dug up and replaced parts of my driveway that were heaved up by tree roots. Applied sealer to my whole driveway.

Blalock Paving did a good job with our driveway replacement project. Starting with its estimator, the work was professional. On the day that our old driveway was excavated, we had four inches of rain in the afternoon. Although this was an inconvenience, once the construction was ready to begin, Blalock performed the agreed upon project in a timely manner. They also correctly implemented a concrete pour in front of our front steps that was part of our yard landscaping project. I would also mention that when we first discussed our project, we thought that we would have to install french drains to handle runoff. Blalock designed and did the pour in a way that this was unnecessary. I recommend Blalock and would use them again.

Getting it done with this winter's weather was a real challenge. It was much colder than usual and the amount of rain and snow made the timing very difficult. They kept at it trying to get it scheduled and the weather finally cooperated. They did a great job excavating and only made minimal impact. The driveway extension matches the existing curves of the driveway and they even matched up the expansion joints. If I need any paving done in the future I will definitely call Blalock!
Description of Work: Added extra parking to my driveway making it approximately 4 cars wide up close to the house.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to bid on your job. While many proposals can look the same to a homeowner on paper, many times the quotes aren't apples to apples. For example, do both estimates include a stone base, are necessary permits obtained, are both contractors insured, was a string line pulled to ensure a consistent 4" depth among other things. I am in no way saying that this was definitely the case, just wanted to point out some short cuts people use to get their foot in the door and then ask for a change order. Best of luck with your driveway and hopefully it lasts for many years.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to bid on your job. We try to make all our bids include everything so there are no surprise charges. For instance we include in our price a bed of stone under our concrete. Many contractors will pour the concrete on top of dirt which can lead to premature cracking of concrete or ask for additional money once the old slab is removed to add stone. Another item is the concrete apron. We obtain the permit to do the apron and the city requires the apron to be 6" deep and not 4" like the rest of the driveway. With this permit, the city will come and do an inspection before and after the concrete is poured to be sure it confirms to the city standards. An estimate like yours is difficult as there were 5 items and we never know if a customer is only going to pick and individual item(s) as opposed to going with the entire proposal. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to bid on your work.

Thanks for contacting Blalock Paving. We try to avoid patching cracks in concrete as it typically involves grinding out the crack (making the crack wider) and then filling it up with material that is a different shade of the original concrete. In ends up making the crack stand out even more.

I'm sure they do good work, just be prepared for some 'sticker shock'.
Description of Work: Did not choose Blalock Paving - took a while to get their estimate, and then their price was significantly higher (nearly double) than the other two estimates I got. Plus, the concrete they intended to use was of a lower PSI rating.

Response from Blalock Paving Inc
Thanks for your interest in Blalock Paving. 3000PSI concrete is standard for this area which is why we quote it. We can use a higher PSI as well which adds a few extra dollars per yard of concrete. Please make sure the contractor doing the job is installing a 4" bed of ABC stone (roughly 14 tons) under the driveway and it is included in the price. I am wondering if he is using the higher strength concrete in lieu of the stone base which may work but is not something we are comfortable with as the base is the most important part of the job for structural integrity. Blalock Paving does not have a "standard unit price" and instead visits each jobsite to have a 99% firm price once we complete our estimate.
