J&s Paving

Stay far away from doing any business with these people. They may give the best quote, but you pay what you get for. The workers here were completely disrespectful of our belongings in our garage and took it amongst themselves to move a freezer in my garage and had my pumpkins rolling around my garage so they could access my water valve to fill their machine. Which they were also using my water (on my dime) for other people’s driveways as well. Did not ask me if any of this was okay. My garage was completely soaked by water and then I notice that the water from their machine got into the motor of the new freezer we had just bought two weeks prior and fried the motor. Needless to say, it was broken! Never been so mad in my life and the attitude from the driver of the machine was shocking when I asked him why they were using my water, he replied, we need it for my machine to roll on the driveways, why is that a problem? All snotty. I said well yes, it is cause look at my garage, I would of moved these things, had I known and he said he would blow it dry with a leaf blower. I then closed my garage because I had enough of the nonsense. And that was when I noticed they broke the brand new freezer and water damage to Christmas decorations I had in the garage. Do not do business with these people!!!

Love my new driveway! Valerie was great to work with and Steve (project manager) got the job done in a timely fashion — even with the rainy weather! Very professional. So glad I found them!

I had high hopes with this company because of the review and the nice person on the phone. But they couldnt even quote the job the way that i asked. I will move my business else where, and so should you.

I had to replace a driveway at a rental property in Elgin, so I got about a half dozen bids and ended up going with J&S. For the record, J&S does asphalt, not concrete, as most companies that do one don’t do the other. Anyways, they were among the most professional (their written bid included a cover letter, reference sheet, certificate of insurance, and BBB certificate which is more than I can say for any bid I’ve ever gotten from any contractor I’ve ever hired) and at the same time the least expensive. They started and finished work in a timely fashion, and when the job became extra work once the can of worms that is an old concrete driveway was opened, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of the additional charge. Imagine that: A contractor calls and says, «We ran into a problem — this is going to take some extra work,» so you begin crapping your pants but immediately get to stop because it’s not that bad. I wish that happened more. Hopefully I won’t need them again anytime soon, but I highly recommend J&S.
