We have decided to widen our driveway. The forms have been filed with ARC, and should be approved soon, but I am having trouble finding contractors to pour about 200 square feet of new driveway.
I looked at the contractors section, most are involved with painting and such, but not actually installing. I called T&D, a 3 week wait for just the estimate. Called the contractor that did the birdcage, essentially no reply. Called 1 or 2 others, and no apparent interest. I also tried searching the site, and did not get suitable results.
So if anyone has experience with a contractor doing a relatively small job, and your were satisfied with their work, please let me know.
Thank you for your help, VT

I would wait for T & D.

Concrete Pad Installer?

I used Robert Roby to expand my back patio. He did an excellent job.

Did you try Robert Robey, who advertises in the Daily Sun? He did an 8x10 patio for us some years ago. It is still in excellent condition.

I'd wait for T&D as well. We've had three projects done by them and could not be more pleased. In addition, they are responsive, professional and experts. You might wait for the estimate, but more than likely the project will start sooner than the date they first give you. Our driveway expansion was done two weeks ahead of schedule.

I used Alex Mellado of Sun Country Foliage (last year). 352-459-5907 He expanded my driveway.

So far, I have replies indicating Robert Roby Concrete, and the above. They will get called Monday.

[villagetinker]

I can find no listing for MAR concrete, tried Villages phone book and Google, and Google maps. Can you provide phone and or address? Thank you, VT

[villagetinker]

Call Mike Hensley 352-516-0499. He did an excellent job of reshaping my driveway to make it easier to access my Golf Cart Entry after obtaining the required permits.

Thank you all, I now have several referrals, and will be making multiple calls Monday morning. I appreciate all of the help.

Another vote for Robert Roby. He added an extension our driveway and to our back porch, about 2-1/2 years ago.

It is nothing personal trust me they all want your work. They are bombed with work rite now and getting the material early in the season may not be easy as they are busy now also. Don't forget....no tipping before the meal...a quality contractor would never ask for more than 10% as a down payment. I would give them that much the day they start. 40% when half way done and the balance when fully completed. Did I say fully?

We called on a Friday, he came that afternoon to give estimate and started the job the next week. No money paid til job was completed. AAA+

Highly recommend Miguel with Mar. Great guy,, do buisness with him daily.

[jimbo2012]

you always can do it yourself.......or shall I say never again,
with two young helpers it was the hardest work I ever did.

I only chose the DIY because the contractors don't call back or show up, I had my pool being shipped had to have it done.


You can drive down Morse and catch a contractor perhaps also, it is almost a fill in job for these guys.


Oh if it helps your taget price is $4-$4,50 a sq ft
