4 months agoThese Jerks destroyed the waterline under the street in our neighborhood driving their gigantic loud heavy trucks down the middle of our residential quiet street, the whole neighborhoods water was cut out for a week and caused a lot of stress and anger. There's even a state mandated sign directing them to a different, more suitable street only like 100 feet down the street but they instead choose to drive their loud large trucks that are not meant for the low traffic resident road and they drive these trucks at high dangerous speeds over train tracks that are so loud that all the houses on the closest street shake and vibrate all day long, its sooo annoying!! All this disturbance for them to maybe save a whole 20 seconds on their "trip" Would never recommend these guys to anyone based on my experience with them. -

FAQ
How does Truman L Flatt & Sons determine pricing for paving and concrete projects?
We provide custom quotes based on the specific scope of your project, including factors like area size, existing surface condition, materials needed, and site accessibility. Our estimating process involves an on-site assessment to ensure accuracy and account for any unique challenges. We're transparent about what's included in the quote and what costs might arise during the work. Contact us to schedule a free estimate so we can give you a detailed breakdown tailored to your needs.
Are you licensed and insured for paving and excavation work?
Truman L Flatt & Sons maintains the necessary licensing and insurance coverage required to perform general contracting, pavement work, and excavation services in Illinois. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance to protect both our crew and your property. Our four-generation history in Central Illinois reflects our commitment to meeting all regulatory and safety standards. You're welcome to ask for proof of current licenses and insurance certificates before we begin any work.
Can Truman L Flatt & Sons handle both asphalt paving and concrete work on my property?
We specialize in both asphalt paving and concrete work, along with excavation and grading services. Our experience spans residential driveways, parking areas, and larger infrastructure projects for municipalities and communities. Whether you need a new driveway, parking lot repair, concrete foundation work, or site preparation, our crews have the equipment and expertise to handle it. We'll assess your specific needs during the estimate and recommend the best approach for your situation.
What timeline should I expect for a typical paving or concrete project?
Truman L Flatt & Sons schedules projects based on scope, weather conditions, and current workload. Smaller jobs like driveway work typically take a few days, while larger paving or excavation projects may span several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the estimate phase so you know what to expect. Weather can impact schedules, particularly in winter months, so we'll discuss contingencies upfront and keep you informed of any changes.
How does Truman L Flatt & Sons handle site cleanup and debris removal after the work is completed?
We remove debris and excess materials generated during the project as part of our standard process. Our crews clean the work area so your property is left in good condition once the job is finished. For larger projects, we may stage material removal over time to keep the site safe and accessible. We take pride in leaving properties neat and professional-looking, which reflects our four-generation reputation in the community.
Why should I hire a professional contractor instead of attempting paving or concrete work myself?
Professional paving and concrete work requires specialized equipment, technical expertise, and proper site preparation that DIY approaches can't match. Improper grading, compaction, or material mixing leads to premature cracking, drainage problems, and costly repairs down the road. Licensed contractors understand local building codes, permit requirements, and safety standards that protect your investment. We also carry insurance to cover any accidents or property damage, giving you protection you wouldn't have with DIY work.
