“I have been using Kent for Concrete washouts for 5 years with great success. This is a big plus with E & S inspectors and County inspectors. I find it cheaper than building wash outs and hauling off the waste. It is more mobile should you need to move locations.” - John C.
“I’ve been involved with all 3 Kent entities on various levels for over a decade & can’t speak more highly of not only their workmanship, but also their high level of integrity. You simply can’t go wrong with the Kent Companies & frankly, I’d question the veracity of any negative reviews that may be posted, if there ever are any.” - Brian D.
“Kent Paving did the most incredible job on paving my driveway I could have ever imagined!!! Their staff was polite, helpful and courteous, and their workmanship was beyond my expectations. I have a long and difficult driveway that required a lot of additional detail work. Now I have the best driveway in the neighborhood. The finished product is perfect!” - Steve K.
“Kent Concrete Washout provides a great service, with quick response time, at a very fair value. We have used their concrete washout setups on all of our Northern Virginia projects and will continue to do so in the future.” - Travis H.
