“Having never been through the process of repaving and expanding a parking lot, I had no idea what was involved in the process. I began with three quotes and chose E. W. Muller Contractor base on knowledge, price and flexibility. It was the best decision I could have ever made. Because my business is very unpredictable, Robert Locher and his team worked around our ever-changing schedule. The parking lot turned out better than expected and I ended up making lifelong friendships with Robert and the rest of his professional staff.”
