Stephens does outstanding work, worth every penny.

What were you expecting it to cost? I know down in Southern NH pavers run about $18-$24 a sq foot installed. We just had our pool done and it's 1000 sq ft of Techo Bloc pavers and a fire pit which was another 188 sq ft of pavers plus the fire pit and it came in around $23,000 for that.

Quotes over $25 sq ft, yours came in at $19.36. big difference in my eyes

The amount of work needed varies with each project making it difficult to compare one person's experience from another's.

I had a patio/ fire pit done by Stephens last year. The amount of rock they removed was incredible. Approx. 5 dump trucks full. I transformed an area of unusable rock to a beautiful addition that has received so many compliments.

Hunter, the foreman for Stephens, brought his girlfriend by to look at the final project and see it lit up at night.

Not sure if I'd be as happy if I'd used a bargain contractor.

One advantage to Stephens, other than experience, is they have all the equipment for any job. It took them about three weeks.

I agree $25 is high. Hopefully you can find someone who does good work for an amount you are comfortable with.
