“Simply the best! Great team to work with, got the job done on time. Amazing customer service!“

“Jimmy and Mark were here when promised and did a great job making sure the boilers on our property weathered Helene intact and functional. I appreciate the peace of mind they’ve given me when it turns cold and I turn on my heat.“

“Anjelica was so patient and helpful. She took an incredibly long list of tasks and house parts and helped us find colors and combinations and made it look easy. Jocelyn was the perfect front man; she made us feel welcome and got the show on the road quickly. She got our site evaluation organized and we’ll close on the property tomorrow. We have really enjoyed working with both these women and look forward to working with the rest of your crew!“

“Gosh, where do I even begin with these guys? There are simply too many good things to say.

When we started our remodel/renovation journey, we knew we wanted to go with a company who could accomplish our goals while maintaining the unique feel of our historic home. We met with a few different companies, and while all were great, Lobo was exceptional. In a simple explanation, we went off of “vibes” when it came time to make our decision.

The first person we met with was Thomas Wolfe, who clearly shared an appreciation for older houses. Within minutes of meeting him, we had the confidence we’d been searching for in order to commit to our ideas.

Shortly after the process began, we were introduced to Laurin, who would be our main point of contact and guide through our project. Although Thomas had helped us feel confident enough to commit, Laurin really made us feel solidified in knowing that we’d made the right choice going with Lobo. She understood the asks and shared the vision from the very first meeting. She was able to just completely maximize the space that we had to make so much sense for our family’s needs. I am still blown away by what she was able to do with our plans and am so grateful for her expertise and eye for beauty.

Once demo started and construction was underway, we were introduced to Ric and his team. Ric has been nothing short of amazing. He is very professional, responsive, and clearly so knowledgeable about all things reno. He was our other main point of contact throughout the process and really made us feel like our home was in the best hands. I had full confidence that everyone I met working on our house knew what they were doing, loved what they were doing, and shared our vision. Our house, despite being a work site, always felt looked after and cared for.

Their estimation process with Chuck was extremely precise. We knew exactly what our budget was going to be and even came about 10% under that in the final count, as well as exactly when our completion date was. They were able to wrap up about a week early to help our son get into school on time! From day one we got progress reports matching our timelines and budget with the work as it was completed so we could plan our move in accordingly.

After the project was completed, Lobo was very present and checked in with us regularly to see how we were settling back in and enjoying the remodel. They have even helped us with a few things after Hurricane Helene that they did not have to help with. They truly feel like more of a family than a company and I would recommend them to anyone over and over again. We hope to use them again in the future for whatever projects we set our sights on.“

“So thankful I called before I had a bad issue! Wes and Graham got us cleaned out and cleaned up! Trust Viking to help you with your septic needs!“

“Did an incredible job installing hardwood throughout our second floor, in our main floor bedroom and fixed a spot that was water damaged. Omar made sure to lay out the wood correctly too so that there was not any weird runs that catch your eye. The job did take longer than expected but I still gave 5 stars because he was very meticulous in his work. You can tell he takes pride in laying the flooring down right the first time and I think my home made it more difficult because the baseboards couldn't be removed due to them being glued to the drywall. I would and may hire him in the future for any flooring needs I have.“

“Yard fathers were amazing to work with! They installed two beautiful patios and a fire pit at our house. They were always on time and cleaned up daily. Everyone was super professional and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product! Highly recommend!

“This is an awesome company to do business with!! They are very good with communication and stay on top of whatever issue you may have! I highly recommend them to anyone!“

“I wish I could give 10 stars! I was thrilled with every aspect of my experience with The Hands of Sean Perry! My project was extremely organized and my addition ended up even better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone that works for this company is a delight and so very talented at their craft. I will absolutely use The Hands of Sean Perry for my next project.“

“Great family oriented company and the employees have the knowledge to do their tasks accordingly!!“

“We used V & V last month for a driveway grading project to improve drainage. I want to give Jared, who did most of the work, a 5. He was conscientious, courteous, & took pride in his work. My rating above is not reflective of his work, which is a 5 star.“

“Brandon, Tina and their crew really came through helping us out with a challenging project with steep terrain. They were very responsive and professional. Their high quality work met our own high standards and we will be using them again in the future.“

“I cannot say enough about the work that Justin has done for my family. We have had him complete projects at two houses now, we are moving to Columbia soon and WISH we could have him come down and do more work on our new home. He has built 2 built ins, both of which meshed flawlessly with the house and look as if they were original to the house. He has also remodeled a bathroom, converted a shed into home office, created a pantry in the kitchen, and completed multiple other projects inside and outside of our house. He is man of many talents and a master of his craft. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking to get work done. If you hire Justin you will get exceptional work and you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend enough.Services: Tile work installation“

“Blue and his crew have completed multiple projects for my wife and I at our properties and they have always been very professional and done fantastic work! Can’t recommend him and his company enough. So glad to finally have a real professional contractor in Asheville.“

“Great choices and great value! The pandemic has caused problems but the customer's come first.“

“In summer of 2025, Robert and his crew paved my 300' driveway in Haw Creek; the work was good, the project was on budget and the crew was remarkably fastidious. Given all of this, it is difficult to fathom how this company has racked up so many negative reviews on Google. If I'd read these reviews prior to calling Robert, I'm not sure I would have had the courage to patronize his company.

A word of background: for 14 years, I did marketing (writing, web and photography) for the Marshall-based company French Broad Paving. In the last 20, I've hired pavers a number of times to do work here in Asheville. Cumulatively, I have had almost 1/2 a mile road/ driveway paved. In this time, I've accrued some experience with pavers & paving.

Robert, the owner of A-Quality paving, came to my place and estimated my job in the spring of 2025; he was very thorough and forthcoming about the scope and cost of the proposed work. Robert makes no effort to hide his love for the Lord, nor his work as a preacher (and he is no shrinking violet). As an outsider to this world, I will add that Robert is more Christ-like than most Christians I've come to know, which I find refreshing.

There is an adage in the construction biz that YOU CAN HAVE TWO OUT OF THE FOLLOWING THREE:
You can have it QUICK
You can have it AFFORABLE or
You can have it GOOD.
(But don't expect all three.)

In my experience with this company, I got the last two. Understand; A-Quality Paving works no more than 4-days a week. Pavers don't usually pave when there is rain in the forecast nor can they pave in the coldest part of winter. Add to this the demand for reconstruction post-Helene and… chances are, you are going to wait a while to make it to the top of a paver's list; plan accordingly.

Is their waiting list short? No.
Is the communication great? No.
Is Steve still doing estimating? I don't think so.
Did I get other estimates? Yes; they were 15-20% higher.

Paving is hard, dirty, hot, smelly, physical work. The crews tend to be motley and a little rough around the edges. Not only does Robert manage his crew with 'generous' oversight, but in the thick of it, he's right out there with the crew, sleeves rolled, up barking out orders, running the machines and holding everyone to a high standard. One reviewer mentioned that they actually >>left for the day<< while paving was being done at their property; don't be a knucklehead.

In summary, YES; all those lousy reviews are scary, but perhaps you should call the company, meet Robert face-to-face, get an estimate and make your own conclusions.

I was happy with the work and am glad I hired Robert's company.“
