We got an estimate from Russell to have our driveway sealcoated. He was prompt and knowledgeable. However, his quote was 50% more than the other estimates that I received. I understand that cheapest isn't always the best, however, the difference was too much to justify as the cheapest quote was from a highly reviewed and rated contractor. I imagine Russell probably does a great job, but we decided to go with the cheaper bid.
Description of Work: Seal coat long asphalt driveway, including some crack repair.

Response from R H Boyer & Sons
I can explain why our price was much higher then the other bidders. I explained this to the customer, however I am sure he did not take it into consideration when he was comparing prices. I explained how we would close all the cracks with crack sealer all along the driveway, this process is done by hand and is time consuming. We would clean all oil deposits and soiled areas, this is done by hand scrubbing with detergent and then pressure washing the entire driveway which also takes time. After drying the driveway with a heated blower we would hand seal the driveway with 5 year sealant that costs over 34.00 a can. His driveway would take 15 cans which is over $ 500.00 just for the sealant. The cost for the crack sealer would have been $ 68.00 and the detergent another $ 40.00. This brings the cost for the material to over six hundred dollars. To do this job would have taken my men a minimum of 5 hours with 3 men. At $ 21.50 per hour (which includes health insurance, social security, and unemployment taxes and workman's comp) the labor cost for me would have been Over $ 320.00. When you add them together you come to $ 928.00. Then you add the cost of overhead for trucks and equipment and fuel I would have made about $ 100.00 on the job. Could I have done the job for $ 580.00 ? Only if I would want to lose money. I always tell people right up front if you are looking for the cheapest job, the lowest price, it most likely will not be me. We never earned our fine reputation over the past 30 years by being the cheapest bidder. We earned it by providing the highest quality material and the highest quality work at a competitive price. Most people realize the you get what you pay for. This customer had mentioned that he was not please with the previous "sprayed on sealer" application to his driveway and I assured him he would be very pleased with our hand applied application and product for many many years to come. I wish him the best however, and must admit it was a pleasure meeting with him.

Mr. Boyer showed up right on time for a bid on repaving our long driveway. He was courteous and quite knowledgeable of his trade and the work required to repave our drive. But his bid price for performing the same service as two other reputable paving companies in the area that we had look at the project and bid on was in one case nearly twice as expensive and in the other more than twice as expensive. So we have chosen not to use him.
Description of Work: We did not use him based on his extremely high price compared to the other bidders.

Response from R H Boyer & Sons
I was very surprised to read this review since we have always been very competitive in our pricing. Hearing that our proposal was twice the cost of other made me know that something was wrong. After pulling the file on this proposal I found that there was a mistake made by the person that processed the proposal. The total amount for the driveway paving on our work-up sheet was $ 11,630.00. The person who wrote up the proposal made a huge mistake and put down $ 21,630.00. Unfortunately I did not review proposal before it was processed or I might have caught the mistake. The customer had e-mailed me telling me he was going with an other contractor because their price was cheaper, however had I known that our proposal was twice the cost of others I would have know something was wrong. It is obvious that when there is this much difference in pricing that there has to be a mistake. We are sorry that this mistake happened and apologize for the error in our proposal. It is the sole purpose of our company to provide our customers with only the highest quality work and material at a fair competitive price. Sometimes that means we can not be the lowest bidder but may customers realize that the lowest price is not always the best job. In this case however had the mistake in the processing of out proposal not happened we would have been priced right there with the other bidders. I will be reviewing all work-up sheets and proposals from now on before they are sent so that something like this dose not happen again. Russ Boyer

Went very well. Came when they said they would, our new steps are beautiful. They gave us complete written specs before they did the job and charged what they estimated. The guys were courteous- when we asked them to move their truck temporarily so that we could get our car out of the driveway, they immediately obliged. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They removed old cement steps and poured new ones. Redesigned the steps so they were wider and less dangerous. Came before they said they would- said they wouldn't be here until Nov but ended up coming the beginning of Oct, completed the work in two days.

Contractor was very professional and very polite. I called as to driveway repairs. He set an appointment convent to me. Arrived at my home on time. Spoke to me as to my needs. Took measurements. Confirmed my email address. Advised I would receive an estimate in a few days. I in fact received the estimate as he described. We however decided to go in a different direction. However, based on my contact with the contractor I would recommend him to everyone...

I thought Russ did a great job with the pre-sales experience. He was timely, polite, and knowledgeable. I also thought the proposal was very professional and very timely through an email attachment. It may very well be the approach Russ proposed with cutting out the worst sections of the driveway and replacing those areas is what drove the price up. Anyway, we decided to go with another bid which was $1550 lower. In addition, they could not start our job until nearly 6 or 7 weeks after the proposal due to a backlog in their workload. I'm sure their workload is probably due to their good work, we just wanted to move faster for a bit less money.
Description of Work: The proposal was not accepted due to cost and time to start.

They were very thorough in removing all the debris. They were on time. The job was finished quickly; they completed the job in two days. When they finished my walkway, it wasn?t completely symmetrical. The lines weren't completely straight on the walkway because of the lack of symmetry. It was a good price; I had several quotes. They were very responsive. On the Angie's List website, it was stated that they give a senior discount. That was one of the reasons I selected them. When we inquired about it, we were told that they do not give a senior discount, but that in our case they would make an exception. I wasn?t very comfortable with that. They did end up giving us a senior discount. Other than the symmetry of the walkway, they did a very good job. Update: A few months after the job was finished, a large crack appeared in the walkway. The initial crack was repaired, and I was told that I was no longer a customer because I lived too far away. Well, that was a convenient response, which came after I started complaining about the work. He did however come out to fix the crack, and now 2 years later, the repaired crack has reopened, and others have appeared. Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with the job as is my husband who is a retired Marine and very active in the military community.

Response from R H Boyer & Sons
We are very sorry that our fine customer was upset about the senior citizen discount. We had offered the discount a few years ago for a limited time, however it appears that on angies list it is still being offered, and we are fine with that. This was the first time in several years that anyone inquired about the discount, and that is why it came as a suprise to us. However as long as it is listed on Angies List anyone who will ask for the Senior Citizen discount will receive it. As to the symmetrical lines of the sidewalk, the complete sidewalk was on a a long radius which involves the use of flexable forms. This makes it very difficult to mantain 100% complete semmetrical lines without the slightest variation. The customer never mentioned this being a problem. It still was a pleasure meeting with them and doing this work for them.

The crew arrived on time and immediately started work. They quickly cut away a section of driveway, removed the debri, and installed the trench/drainage system. The drainage pipe needed to run through my front landscaping and walkway. The team did a great job ensuring the landscape was repaired post install. All in all it was a good experience and I would definitely contract with them again is the need arose.

I spoke with Russ and an app't was made for Sunday, May12, 2013 in the afternoon. I had suggested Saturday, but he said Sunday was better. He said he would call in the morning to confirm. He never called and never showed up. We were home all day. I had contacted two other paving companies from Angie's List and they both came out and gave me estimates promptly. I will be going with one of them. UPDATE: I just saw Russ' response today and am surprised. At no time did he call our house on the day he said he was coming out or any day before or after that. We were home all day and there were no calls or messages. Maybe he did make a call, but it wasn't to our house.

The job was done in a timely and efficient manner. They were very neat and cleaned up all the debris and the finished product is perfect. We are thrilled with the workmanship and professionalism of Mr. Boyer's workers and Russ Boyer was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I have already asked him for another estimate for more cement work at our home.

Mr. Boyer responded quickly to our request for an estimate and provided some useful hints to improve appearance and control costs. They fit us into a busy schedule in order to meet our timing. They did a great job on both parts of the job, plus they use a latex asphalt sealer which does not smell as bad as the hot stuff. The crew was always polite and helpful. Job is great! They did a great job and, despite the necessary inconvenience caused by a job like this, the crew was good to have around. Highly recommend R.H. Boyer & Son!!!

I called RH Boyer and Sons and that morning, Russell came out two hours later and looked at the job and took measurements. I had a written estimate within a few days with a start date. I really needed the front steps done because they were a hazzard and Russ squeezed me into his schedule which I was very appreciative of. They showed up when they said they would, they were very neat, and the men were very friendly and respectful. I could not have asked for a better experience and would reccomend this company to my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: RH Boyer and Sons put in a new sidewalk from our driveway to the deck in the back. They also replaced our front stoop and steps which we have had nothing but trouble with because of the ground settling. They ripped out the entire front porch, re-filled area under and poured a new front porch. They were very knowledgeable in what needed to be done and were very upfront and honest.

Water was pouring into my basement through a rusted out Bilco door entry. In addition, I noticed a crack in my basement foundation which concerned me a great deal. I had spent almost one year trying to get an estimate from other contractors. Not one responded with a reasonable solution to my problem. R.H. Boyer & sons responded to my phone call requesting an estimate within a day. Mr. Boyer made an appointment to estimate the cost and work needed. I received an written estimate within 48hrs. The original estimate was to replace the basement entrance which was allowing water into the basement. I mentioned that the patio which was adjacent to the basement entry could be causing the water problem as well. After removing the original basement entry, we found that water was collecting under the old patio and that it should be replaced. This worked was completed within 5 days to my complete satisfaction. Mr Boyer met with us after the work was completed to be sure we were satisfied.

They did a great job! We were very happy with the work. The price they quoted us was exactly what we paid. We did have one little problem with the setting of the handrail; we called them and it was fixed before we got home from work that day. Also they came by about 10 days after they completed the project to make sure everything looked good and to make sure we were happy with the job. Would recommend them to anyone and will use them in the future

The contractors arrived on June 30th to block in the window and repair most of the stucco imperfections. In addition, the joint was filled in. The contractors returned on July 1st to complete stucco over the former window. Overvall, we were very happy with the work. Even though we didn't tell them that they needed to, they matched the color very closely. The contractors were very friendly and kept an extremely clean work area.
