Marshall Construction finishes most concrete driveway replacements in a single day, from tear-out of the old driveway through the pour and cleanup. Before that day come a free estimate visit, typically in the same week the homeowner calls, a written estimate within 24-48 hours, and a signed contract. Marshall Construction is a concrete driveway contractor in Delaware based in Newark.
Homeowners who want a number sooner can send photos and measurements through the online Quick Quote for a ballpark price. One review describes booking online and having someone come out the next day. The stages in the table follow how Marshall Construction runs a project, with Kyle Marshall at the estimate visit and the office handling the contract and billing.
The written estimate is the document to check against what a concrete driveway estimate should include, and its warranty line can be compared with what a concrete driveway warranty should cover.
Marshall Construction's crews do every step with the company's own equipment:
The package chosen sets the base depth and reinforcement in steps 2 and 3, two of the main items in what affects the cost of a concrete driveway; the specifications for each are on Marshall Construction's residential concrete services and driveway packages page. The same crews and equipment also install concrete patios, walkways and steps.
Marshall Construction says that what takes other companies several days, its crews finish in one. The company has grown from a single dump truck and machine to its own fleet, which lets jobs that once took two to four days be done in one. It does not own concrete trucks, but its 20-year supplier relationships mean it can call in the morning and get a concrete truck the same day; the company says smaller operators wait 3-4 days. The crew has worked together for years, with set roles such as laser measuring, so there is no learning curve on each job, which also holds when combining several concrete projects with one contractor.
Whether the crew and equipment are the contractor's own is one of the questions in how to choose a concrete driveway contractor. Replacing a damaged driveway follows the same process, since the company's options for a cracked or sinking driveway start with full tear-out rather than an overlay.
Weather and ground conditions shape a Marshall Construction pour. On hot days, Kyle Marshall orders early-morning concrete trucks, because, the company says, concrete behaves better early in the day. And if the ground is not ready, the crew comes back when conditions are right rather than rushing the base. Ground that will not hold compaction is one of the unforeseen conditions the contract names, and the office tells the homeowner before any extra work is done. Pours for garage slabs and concrete pads are scheduled around the same conditions.
Kyle Marshall is on site and does not sign off until the work meets his standard. The job closes with cleanup, including topsoil and seeding, and the final invoice, which can be reviewed and paid online. Reviews on the company's website repeatedly mention crews arriving on time and leaving the property clean. Homeowners ready to start can request a free estimate online or by calling (302) 218-2469.
