Attached are three bids to replace our cracked concrete driveway with concrete pavers. One was on 2 pages- hope they uploaded sequentially.
All 3 have decent reviews. All 3 we're recommended by people who have worked on our home. C3 did our kitchen/bath guy's driveway. C2 installed the driveway next door, which looks great but is only a year old. C2 is the most aggressive salesman, who stresses his "lifetime warranty."
I kind of like C3 best, but he wouldn't come down on price. C1 is cheaper, plus takes a CC with only 1.5% fee. I'd still earn .5%.
All insights are welcome, thanks!
C1. $17,135. Remove and haul away old concrete. Grade driveway. Place and compact crushed concrete footing. Pave with concrete pavers in standard pattern (they all use the same one).
Two year labor warranty.
C2. $17,900. All of the above. "Lifetime" warranty on labor. 6 inch thick footing. 8 inches thick at the perimeter.
C3. $17,900. Same as No. 1.
