RUCK PAVING & SEALCOATING

I was impressed with the timeliness of Bob Ruck’s response to my initial call. He literally showed up at my place within 30 minutes of my call, and provided me with an estimate. His estimate was the better of two I received and accepted his offer. I was flexible on start date and time. He provided me with a day’s notice, so I could accomplish the tasks I needed to do to clear out the 1920-something barn board garage. His crew of six showed up on the day of the project. The crew worked well with one another removing the former part concrete-part plywood-part carpeting, and completed the new asphalting before lunch. I was given precise instructions on proper care of the new asphalt. Overall, I was very impressed with the entire process and would certainly recommend and use them again for any future project.

lot of cracks were not filled or filled very little. just not happy with their job

I contacted Ruck Paving in March of 2019 through the form on their site. Bobby got back to me within a day and went out to my house and did up a quote and emailed it later that same day. I had no idea what a driveway should cost, but after some Googling it seemed like a reasonable price. He quoted $5 a square foot for everything including tear-out, grading and the new driveway. (2019 pricing). His quote also included recently done driveways in my area so I could drive/walk by and check them out. I wasn't ready for the driveway immediately, so about 5 months later he checked in to see when I'd like it done. I told him mid to late September would work. He came and ripped out the old driveway on September 10. He was back on September 19th to do the new driveway. He and his crew showed up just after 8 AM, ready to go. They were done by 9:30. I didn't realize it would be so quick but he had a crew of 6 and it was obvious that they all worked well together. It was like watching a paving symphony. The finished driveway looks great, no more heaves or cracks and it actually matches up with the garage floor, a first in 14 years in the house! You'll end up with a quality product if you choose Billy Ruck and his crew.

The section of driveway that required paving was approximately 300 feet long, straight and flat. Ruck Paving was hired to prepare it and pave it. They showed up at 8am in the morning and were completely done with the job by 1pm, which I thought seemed very fast. He told me to keep all cars off the pavement for 5 days, I kept it blocked off for 8 to be safe. Within 11 months severe cracking and crumbling started on both edges of the driveway in numerous places along its length. I called Bob and after several messages he contacted me back, told me that it was due to people driving on the edges (patently false) and he would “fix it” by torching the asphalt and melting the cracks. This did nothing but make it uglier. Now, almost three years later, the entire length of both sides of the driveway is crumbling and cracking off, up to 8” from the edge or more. Every contractor I have spoken to since he did the job has told me that the cracking is due to poor preparation; it was a rush job and after spending thousands of dollars, it looks terrible. None of my calls have been returned from him since they came and “fixed” it in 2017. No one else will touch it without redoing it. I would highly recommend avoiding Ruck Paving.

Crew was on time efficient and finished early. Bobby was great to work with!
