Consider Nation Wide Paving a "Big Box" of paving companies. Phoned for an estimate because they advertised a local address and phone number. Turns out this is a good way to capture "local" customers. It seems their business model is to buy up smaller, local outfits and run them as outposts from their central location. Their contract/estimate specified "adding a gravel grade, compact, let sit for 2 weeks then compact and install asphalt". Right...Let's see...no added gravel, no compact, 7 weeks and 5 phone calls later they finally show up as they've returned to the "local" area to complete 5 or 6 other driveways. in the end, the final job was adequate at best. The driveway does look good but will be interested in how it holds up especially in the areas where it's just paved over sand. I wish I had tried harder to secure a truly local company.
