History

Kyle Marshall founded Marshall Construction as a young man from a blue-collar family. The company began with concrete work, then added asphalt paving. Later it added poured concrete foundations after buying the foundation equipment of a local contractor that had gone out of business. It is still run as a family business: Kyle oversees the work in the field, and the office handles scheduling, contracts and billing.

Services

Marshall Construction works in six service lines. All work is done by the company's own crews, with no subcontractors or rented equipment.

Residential concrete
Driveways, walkways and sidewalks, patios and pool decks, garage slabs, and steps. As a concrete driveway contractor in Delaware, the company sells concrete driveways in three packages (4, 5 or 6 inches thick) with 1-, 3- or 5-year warranties.
Residential asphalt
Driveway installation, overlays and resurfacing, repairs, and sealcoating for homeowners who need an asphalt driveway contractor in Delaware. Full installations are built on a 6-inch compacted stone base.
Poured concrete foundations
Foundations for new homes, custom homes, additions, crawl spaces, basements and garages, plus multi-unit developments and commercial buildings. Most of this work is done for builders and general contractors looking for a concrete foundation contractor in Delaware.
Commercial concrete and asphalt
As a commercial concrete contractor in Delaware, the company handles parking lots, curbs, sidewalks, ADA ramps, storm drains, slabs, structural concrete, private roads, sealcoating and line striping.
Hardscaping
Stamped concrete patios, walkways and pool decks, and retaining walls. As a retaining wall contractor in Delaware, the company builds every wall on a concrete footer, with a 7-year warranty.
Commercial snow and ice management
Plowing, salting, pre-treatment and sidewalk clearing for commercial properties, HOAs and large parking lots. The company offers commercial snow and ice management in Delaware on per-event or seasonal contracts.

Marshall Construction does not overlay worn concrete; it removes and replaces it. Stamped concrete is the only decorative concrete work the company offers, and it does not install pavers.

Service area

Marshall Construction is based in Newark, Delaware, and works throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Recent projects include work in Wilmington, Newark, Bear, North Wilmington and Dover, Delaware; Elkton, Maryland; and at Philadelphia International Airport.

Customers

The customers Marshall Construction works with fall into four main groups:

Homeowners replacing or adding a driveway, patio, walkway or other concrete
Builders and general contractors who need foundations and concrete for new construction
Commercial property owners, property managers and HOAs who need site concrete, paving, and snow and ice management
Public and institutional clients, including hospitals and government facilities

How the company works

Marshall Construction runs each project with its own crews: the company does not use subcontractors or rented equipment, and the owner is on every job. Estimates are free. After an estimate visit, customers get a written estimate within 24-48 hours, or they can request a quick quote online by sending photos and measurements. The contract spells out the scope of work, and any additional work is priced and approved before it is done. Most driveway jobs are finished in a single day. Residential concrete and asphalt jobs end with cleanup, including topsoil and seeding, and financing is available through Acorn Finance.
