Excellent work, extremely detailed, professional from the estimate of the job all the way through to the finishing touches. Highly recommended if you are in the market for any concrete work, Tuck and his team took out our old asphalt driveway and replaced it with an amazing concrete one. Exactly as requested and planned, his high quality work left us with a greatly improved entrance to our garage that adds value to our home and really improves the curb appeal of the front of the house. His work was extremely efficient and exactly on the timeline that he promised. Look no further than Tuck if you want the job done right and with no problems.

UPDATE: Tuck came back today, one week later to retrieve his cones and provide one final inspection. He then power washed the street where work was done and power washed our new driveway. He didn't have to do that and yet he did which makes us appreciate him even more. Tuck has exceeded our expectations.TL;DR Tuck is the man. He knows everything about VDOT aprons and driveways. His reputation precedes him with the VDOT inspectors. His prices are in the mid-high range but you get what you pay for: excellent workmanship, incredible transparent service, and a driveway that will pass inspections.The Long Version:Over one week, I interviewed 10 driveway contractors who each had vastly different ideas about what I could legally do to install a driveway in my front yard which at the time had 3 trees, a retaining wall, and no apron (curb cut-out).One person said I could do it with no permit, wrong. Another said I needed to ask the county, also wrong. And another said I needed to talk to VDOT not the county. After discovering that the last guy was right, I contacted VDOT and became overwhelmed by all of the paperwork I needed to prepare for a permit.That's when I Googled "VDOT apron" and the first search result was Tuck GC. I read a couple of their articles and knew that these guys could help us.When Tuck pulled up, he patiently listened as I fumbled my way around explaining what we needed. Then he explained what we could do, what we should do, and provided a few more suggestions that would greatly improve things.We decided to add a 20' double-car pad and replace our existing walkway since it had no control joints (to prevent cracking). He gave us a rough-estimate right away and came back the next day with a formal proposal.Let me be clear, Tuck was the first contractor out of 10 to provide a real proposal. One guy actually sent me a photo of his notepad covered in chicken scratch while the rest never even followed up!Out of the 10 quotes, Tuck's was 4th most expensive. In other words, there were 6 cheaper quotes, and 3 more expensive quotes. But none of those 9 knew how to install a new apron legally. Only Tuck offered to help us from A to Z.With winter coming, we knew we were in a time crunch because no respectable concrete team would pour in freezing temperatures.We really wanted to sign the contract but felt that this was a large project for. It was going to be expensive. Tuck was great in helping us adjust the payment into 4 stages. After working that out, we signed the contract and he fulfilled every deliverable.Tuck quickly got us through permit process, we hired a great tree removal team to take out our 3 trees, and then Tuck kept us in the loop as his crews caught up with all of their prior work. We waited 2-3 weeks and at any point that we had a question or wanted to update him on tree removal, Tuck was just a text away.Finally, Tuck got us an install date. He took extra care to remind us a day earlier that his team needed the street clear. His reminders helped us coordinate shuffling our cars and our neighbors' cars around.Installation lasted two days and it went smoother than he had promised. With zero rainfall, his crew wasted no time demolishing the retaining wall and walkway, then prepped our front yard.The three dump trucks picked up the waste on the first day, and the two concrete trucks with his team poured with precision on the second day. Now here we are on the third day and my wife and I had big, ridiculous grins on our faces as we walked about our new driveway.We can barely wait the 7 days to finally pull our cars in.There are so many more details to this process, if you want to know more all I can do is urge you to call Tuck GC. That guy knows this business.Service: Concrete pouring

Tuck GC provided an honest quote, a clearly written contract, pulled all permits, and communicated with me throughout the process. His crew was respectful, performed work out of scope (drainage) that need to be fixed before the driveway pour, and ultimately repoured my driveway, apron, and sidewalk to our Town's standards. Would absolutely use him again! Nice guy who does GREAT work.Service: Concrete pouring

Tuck came back today, one week later to retrieve his cones and provide one final inspection. He then power washed the street where trucks had pulled up and left some mud. And then he power washed our new driveway. Tuck didn't have to do that and yet he did which makes us appreciate him even more. Tuck GC has exceeded our expectations.I've included some additional pics as well

Tuck was a pleasure to work with -- listening to us as we explained what we wanted to accomplish with our somewhat complicated driveway that slants down hill toward the house. He recommended ways to improve the slope and also install a drain in front of the garage door to capture the water that had previously been a problem. He worked closely with us on the design in which we had color mixed into the concrete for a subtle earth tone look. The crew was well organized, hard working, fast and neat. The various equipment and concrete trucks arrived like clockwork. The finished driveway is beautiful and exceeds our expectations.

Tuck was honest, responsive, clear in his explanations, and guidance during the permit process. For years, our cars scrapped going in and out of driveway unless you can in on the perfect angle. Tuck spent time with us, understood our problem, worked our situation from many different angels, until we had achieved a workable solution. He worked the permit process with VDOT which included working with the Americans For Disability rules for proper sidewalk, apron, and driveway angles. In one day, his crew pulled our old driveway out, pulled 4 truckloads of dirt to lower the angle, and poured a new driveway and curbing. During the work, we had to modify the design and on that day he was on the phone with VDOT ensuring compliance. Now we can pull in from any angle, at any reasonable speed, backwards or forwards. The driveway is AMAZING. Thank you Tuck for your hands on honest and wonderful service. We are going to be contacting him again for additional work

Tuck was a breeze to work with and the new driveway and expanded apron came out amazing. His crew is top notch and worked extremely hard during the two day installation. He communicated throughout the project and took care of all the permits through VDOT for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new driveway and especially if they would like a new apron as they are a specialty of him and his crew.

Tuck GC is a company you can trust when you want quality work. Tuck, the owner-operator, has many years of experience in the construction industry and offers an exceptionally high degree of dependability, experience, and quality. I contracted Tuck GC to install a paver driveway and a flagstone patio (comprised of a full range of colored stones). High-quality materials were used throughout, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Tuck is very responsive and diligent when it comes to customer service. He communicated his plans and ideas to me throughout the project, as he was on-site the entire time, and nothing was left to my imagination. Both he and his crew paid particular attention to detail. His workers were punctual and friendly, and they took pride in their work. In my case, they even worked Saturday and Sunday to complete the job in record-setting time. The workmen did a thorough job of cleaning up and removing the debris during and after the job and took good care not to damage my property. I would highly recommend Tuck GC, and I plan to use them again for future projects. Friends and neighbors who passed by my house were genuinely impressed with what they saw. And the pricing for the project was competitive.

Tuck and his crew are AMAZING. Our new driveway looks incredible. I am so glad we had it done. They were extremely fast as well. I chose Tuck because I wanted to have our apron redone as well to match the rest of the driveway. I think a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with the DTA and getting approval. Well, Tuck handled ALL OF IT for me, from start to finish. His price was right on point too. We will definitely be using him again in the future and I really cannot recommend him highly enough

THANK YOU!
The driveway and sidewalk turned out GREAT, we could not be happier with the end result! We want to THANK YOU and your crew for coming in and getting the job done so quickly. We would also like to thank you for sending someone back out on Friday who went above and beyond to cleanup the remaining items from Thursday; they put sod down next to the driveway, cleaned up the dirt along the sidewalk, fixed the mulch in our flower garden, and patched the stairs on the side of the house. We are so happy with the finished product and can't wait to enjoy it!
I appreciate the high standards you set for your work and that's also apparent in the crews you work with to get the job done, I won't hesitate to recommend you to everyone that I know who needs a contractor!

My wife and I were extremely impressed with Tuck GC. We found out the owner, James Tuck, went into business himself after being one of the top dogs at another large construction company. He created his own company with the understanding that the best way to complete a project correctly the first time, while also providing top customer service is making a conscious decision to keep his company small.
What a difference. James spent an incredible amount of time with me walking through an outdoor patio project and replacing my roof (separate occasions). As he was reviewing the different projects with me, he would provide me with the positives and negatives of each option. He’d wait for me to ask him, ‘what do you recommend?’. Eventually he realized I was interested in longer lasting quality so he stuck to those suggestions. The amount of construction and county ordinance knowledge he has blew me away.
This is one of the few guys that you can trust to do the project the right way from the start. I highly recommend him AND his team. While our roof was being replaced, there were materials and boxes on the drive way, naturally. My wife was walking to get to the house and one of the crew ran in front of my wife to create a walkway for her to easily get by. Those are details tough to find now-a-days.

Tuck just finished a crazy driveway, patio and shed pad project for me and it is amazing! Seriously, check out the video on You Tube youtu.be/N7MsokkJjB0. My front yard was super steep so he had to dig it out and build retaining walls on either side, wide enough that we could pull in and open the car doors. He also tore out and re did my front walkway, he built stairs from the driveway's center to the walkway, and wound up tearing out my entire old back porch and pouring me a new one with a really nice drainage solution. Then he poured a shed pad complete with a turn around for my motorcycle. The results are absolutely amazing. I have the nicest driveway I've ever seen.
I first contacted Tuck over a year ago to get an estimate, but couldn't pull off a project of that magnitude back then. As soon as I could afford it, I only called him. (And somehow he remembered me from the year before!). He was at our site every day for the entire week and was just great to have around. Even my dog loves this guy. When things went sideways with the shed construction (which was being built by another company) he jumped right in to help and got us back on track. If you're having any work done on your house, call Tuck.
