Blocked driveway without warning or courtesy of informing residents work was being done. Repaving skills are sub-par, leaving gaps and uneven coverage to a once nicely flat surface. Snowplowing should be interesting; there's going to be a nice crater in front of my house this coming winter. At least they cleaned up their mess. If this was your request please be kind and let the neighbor know their walls may be loud for 5 hours, it doesn't cost you anything but a few breaths of air and a few yards.

We just had a gas line installed by Chad, Jay, Jay and Eddie (Crew #16), they were AWESOME! From the time Chad came to the door to the last piece of equipment was put on the truck, they were all nothing but professional, friendly and just plain awesome. I take great pride in my yard, they left it just as they found it.you wouldn't know they were here. I was impressed at how friendly and professional each one of them was.

My yard, the sidewalk, the street, everything was returned to the condition it was prior to them doing their job. What a great crew! AGI is fortunate to have a crew like this crew working for them, outstanding job Chad, Jay, Jay and Eddie! Thanks for caring about my property! Great job! Alan Penney

Starts cutting pavement at 7 am, it's very annoying especially the fact that they just did my whole neighborhood a month ago. Another thing is they park right behind your drive way so you can barely back out.
