They gave me 8 hours notice that they would come out the next morning, and it had been raining buckets that day. Oh they arrived on time the next morning, but see the attached screenshot of how our texts went. My staffer who was onsite said their men were laughing at us. I contacted the co-owner Stefan Gehring, and it turns out it was his decision to fire us as a customer!
Now; this site is a 9 house development and I am the developer. People like me do not soon forget subs like Puget Paving & Construction.

The company was replacing a street in our neighborhood and we were impressed with their work and teamwork. We asked for a bid on our driveways and it was reasonable. The crew that came did a wonderful job and were considerate of our needs. The job exceeded our expectations.

Thanks for the $1000 dollars of yellow street paint on my favorite pickup truck. And then .. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it. ..your traffic control plan was extremely worthless and put drivers in harms way. my experience in gig harbor was unbelievable... forcing drivers vehicle in wet yellow paint. And some how after a month of avoiding the issue .. saying Puget paving is not responsible . .really will see ..

These guys did the parking lot repair at my shop's complex, they seemed to have a good culture amongst employees who all seemed to get along well and work equally as hard. Great team and the repair work was really nice that they did and performed very quickly. Very impressed to say the least with work performance and quality of the repairs.
