Critical:Professionalism
This company was hired by my town and I have no clue why. They have no regards to safety of the crews or the public. They have no spotters for any of their equipment and leave the place an absolute mess. We even caught their labourers leaving their lunch garbage underneath piles of sod. Unprofessional

Worst paving company I have ever seen. They have terrible employees who have no respect for the people around them. Even after the 5 months it takes for them to pave a 10 by 10 square it sinks in spots because of poor workmanship. I am actually offended that the city is using my tax dollars to pay these people, and it is a shining example of low government oversight.

Most incompetent paving job I have ever seen. Paves the entire Streep then begins to cut it up piece by piece to do jobs that should have been done BEFORE it was paved. Road now looks worse than before and probably cost the city a boatload.

Terrible, I'm not sure why the city does business with these guys, every road that they touched in my area they destroy with the most pathetic patches imaginable, like someone dumped tar with a shovel into the hole. Each time I drive over them I feel like my neck is going to fall off. What they do should be illegal as they take a perfectly good road and mess it up. If this were to happen in my country of origin, not only would they lose their contracts, they would be fined, and soon would be out of business.
