I have never seen a bigger circus for road construction in my life. Living on a dead end street and the route to gets changed by the minute!! When explaining where I needed to go I get told I was in the wrong for driving through a barricade only to tell me I needed to come from a road with a barricade. Jamie the supervisor was rude and unprofessional!! This in not to mention the cheap labor they sub all the work out to and just leave a clueless supervisor in charge. Thinking about having them do any work I would think again.

I've never personally used you but your company is working on redoing our roads here in Lansing in Miller road. I spoke to Gator and Jason this morning .im from the Kalamazoo area found out gator lives near where I grow up and Jason live near where I went to school both did.. But I want to say thank you for the long hours hard work that you have put into this road. I have lived on this road for 30yrs and it's needed more than patch work. Thanks. God bless

The City of Kalamazoo contracted Hoffman Brothers to repave our street, and replace the water & sewer lines as well. It's been well over a month now, and the end of this project is nowhere in sight. After digging half of the street up once to replace the sewer lines, they then buried everything, didn't return for over a week, then eventually re-dug the same holes to replace the water lines that they apparently forgot about. During all of this our yard was turned into a storage site for all of their equipment & supplies, making it an even bigger pain in the neck to get into and out of our home.
