Excellent and professional from start to finish. We found Chesapeake Paving through Angie's List and Washington Consumers' Checkbook. We retained them to install a new pipestem driveway for our home. The old driveway had an inadequate base and inferior asphalt and had broken up over the winter. At each stage, Ed Stanley and his colleagues diagnosed problems and explained the remedies that they would take to avoid a repetition and give us a quality, long-lasting driveway. The readily accepted our Angie's List coupon, which saved us 5% -- no small thing. We were provided with a detailed estimate and Ed made clear that he understood how important each element was to us. On installation day, the crew operated like clockwork and pointed out how they were fulfilling each of the conditions we had identified in the estimate -- deep base, quality asphalt, water resistance, tapered edges, extra width. It now has been six weeks and the driveway is perfect in every regard.

We got all this for an excellent price -- lower than all but one bid (and that from a paver with no local customers). Another Angie's List-recommended contractor was 25% higher, and a third came in 100% higher (with a 100% additional margin beyond that (!) -- it was obvious that they did not want the work.) Chesapeake Paving is exactly the kind of contractor.
