We're definitely happy with the service we received at Kaplan. It was a great deal and did a great job.
Great removal and install, but buyer beware of the BS charges, like '$750 landscape restoration' ie a 4 ft of dirt and a few grass seeds ?
Both the removal and installation teams (Samuel & Santiago) were professional and did a great job.
Kaplan Paving did an amazing job! From start to finish, Casey kept me informed and at ease with the project. He listened to what I wanted, addressed positives and negatives of my vision, and set clear expectations for the process. The work was completed quickly and very neatly. In addition to the repaving of the…
Our experience of working with Kaplan especially Brenda was amazing! Their quality of work and communication is top tier! I highly recommend them.
Crew was very polite An accommodating job looks nice. They cleaned up well afterwards Aturo was great to deal with.
Everyone on the Kaplan team did a great job from beginning to completion for our driveway. Great communication!! every step of the way. Pricing was very competitive. Our friends recommended Kaplan because of the great job they did for them. We definitely recommend this company as well.
Kaplan Paving has been our vendor of choice in our HOA for several years now. I would have to say they have been nothing short of outstanding. Everyone has been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. Becky and Jenny have been the best at taking care of our projects start to finish making them very…
We were impressed with the service and level of communication with Kaplan from the initial estimate to the final step of paving. This was a complete tear-out and replacement of a large driveway. We appreciated that Kaplan handled the applications for two permits.
Arturo and his crew were very friendly and answered all my questions.
Thanks Tricia and the Kaplan team for your great customer service and taking care of my damaged new driveway! You all rock!
Great service! Will recommend them in the future.
Luis and his team did an excellent job, taking care around our plating beds, whike maintaining a professional finish and a clean work site. Kaplan was responsive to my inquiries, and always responded in a professional and courteous manner.
Everything went as scheduled, efficient work, good cleanup and follow-through with permits.
The men that came out were friendly and professional. Answered any questions. They did an AMAZING job
I had the driveway project from hell but Kaplan kept the train on the tracks for the majority of the project. Willing to do most anything you need them to paving wise, they also have some of the best pricing around. Will look forward to working with Patricia and the team on future projects.
Replacment of a 25 year old driveway. Arturo's crew did a Great Job!
Arturo and his crew did an excellent job of installing our new driveway. They were very skilled in their work and very courteous as well. Cleanup was also great.
The seal coating of the driveways done with great care. They did an amazing job! Cracks were sealed effectively as well. One driveway was completely replaced and it was done perfect. Reliable. Great work. Extremely satisfied.
Arturo and his crew did a great job. Very pleased with working with Kaplan Paving
While the driveway removal and replacement crew did a great job, the scheduling department did not communicate timely and June was rude. I had to reach out several times for a scheduling status. I would NOT use them again.
I work at Icon Building Group, and we've had the pleasure of working with Kaplan Paving on several projects. I especially want to recognize Brenda Sanchez, who manages our account. She is incredibly responsive, timely, and always willing to help. Brenda consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs…
Arturo and his crew worked so hard with our driveway. They did an excellent, excellent job. We are glad that we chose Kaplan.
Great communication from start to finish from the sales team to the paving crew. Office staff Meredith & Cynthia were helpful and very responsive to any questions that arose. Crews were friendly and efficient. Jesse, the foreman, made sure we were satisfied with the results before they packed up. Our new driveway…
Not worth 1 star… doesn’t stand behind their work warranty. Run from them!
I work with ICON Building Group and I wanted to mention Brenda Sanchez. She’s our account representative and I wanted to comment on the fact that she is always keeping up to date with the schedule, responding to us in a timely fashion, and always has a great attitude. She has been a pleasure to speak with and work with and I highly recommend their company!
Excellent people to work with and very happy with the new driveway. Thanks Billy, Arturo and Cynthia
Jim and his crew were very good and left the property spotless
Jim’s Crew did a phenomenal job this morning of removing my old driveway and preparing for the new drive to be installed. They got the work done quickly & properly with no issues or problems, thank you! Jesse and his team came out yesterday to apply the asphalt and finish the driveway. It turned out beautiful. Thank you again for the fantastic job!
Overall a great experience with Kaplan. They rebuilt my entire entryway and pillars with pavers. Also built a retaining wall and a border around driveway. Removed my old brick paver driveway and replaced with new asphalt driveway. Joe helped design and pick out materials. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lars…
I interviewed three contractors to redo our old paver driveway. Joe R. Impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. He created a great design for us with a combination of asphalt with a paver border. He also recommended that we put in a new stoop which was the right call. Each of the crews were skilled and…
I have worked on two projects with Kaplan, both for small apartment buildings in Mundelein. They have done outstanding work both times. Their prices are reasonable. Remember, this is a 20 year or more investment so cheap is not always good. Keep in mind that there crew that tears out the old driveway is a different…
We have recommended Kaplan to most of our neighborhood already. Everyone has complimented the end result and how professional the work was. Shout out to the team (& props for Billy leading the charge!!!) for dealing with the decision making and will be back for the extension! I hope they continue their patience…
Recommended by a union working on a McHenry city job near Veteran Square. Called back a week or so later.
We finally had our gravel driveway paved with asphalt. The team was amazing. From Billy the estimator, Tricia in the office, the prep crew and Arturo and his paving crew, everyone we dealt with was very professional, attentive, and thorough. We love the outcome. Thank you for the amazing work you have done.
Josh and his team did a great job in removing my old Ashphalt.Great job by the Kaplan staff. Godd team work. Meredith was instrumental in coordinating the work, Thank you Josh and Meredith. Specialmention to Cynthia for arranging the Driveway installation. Great team work by everybody!.
The whole Kaplan team was great to work with, from the initial estimate all the way to the finish line! I was impressed with the professionalism and expertise Jesse and the crew had during the installation. The price beat the competition and the service was top tier. I would recommend to anyone looking to get their driveway paved.
I can not say enough about the amazing experience I had with Kaplan! From diagnosing the issues with my driveway, to planning how to resolve it and then executing the plan, everyone was communicative and so professional! The crews were respectful of my property and Lars, who oversaw my project, went above and…
