First let me say I really hate leaving negative reviews. The owner was nice enough but didn't do…read morewhat was agreed upon. He was supposed to install a sleeve under the driveway so that electric and water can be run to the other side but it "slipped his mind" and he "forgot". He offered to dig one in after the fact but said my new driveway would look like he filled a pot hole after the sleeve was patched over. What he should have done was offer to put one in then put a thin coat of asphalt over the entire driveway so it would blend and still look new in the event he was unable to match the asphalt. The driveway is also uneven in places, has thin areas and thick areas and small dips in it, mainly where they used a blowtorch. But worse, they got asphalt on my siding and he said he'd come back and look at it but never came back again. I gave him every chance to fix what needed to be fixed according to what we agreed to do when I paid him. Silly me forgot to make sure the sleeve was explicitly stated in the quote - I wouldn't be leaving this review but handling the matter in small claims since he didn't want to correct it. His quote came in less than his competitors, but as the old adage says "what's cheap is expensive". Now I have to pay someone else even more money to put in a sleeve where the driveway meets the road which will make the project more than the highest quote for the job. Thanks, Dave for saying you'll do a great job I'll be happy with than not making good on your promise. ETA. I don't appreciate being called a liar. He forgets we texted and I have receipts (not included). We last spoke on April 17. He says he'd come "next week" but never came. I left the review on May 3. He had the opportunity to return. He just chose not to. Maybe that "slipped his mind" too. But thanks for the rude response. Now I have in writing what was not included in the contract - that we agreed the price quoted would include a sleeve. So now I have the proof I need to take him to court to recoup the costs of having to put it in after the fact. Hope he marks his calendar when he gets the court notice and not let it "slip his mind" to show up. Note: I never complained about the shape of the driveway. The only thing discussed about the shape was the driveway curving out when it meets the road. I made no mention of that in this review, and how does that have anything to do with getting asphalt on my siding and neglecting to put in the sleeve? Dave had 3D rendering of exactly what I wanted. Typical deflection. Very disingenuous of him to attempt to flip the script and make his incompetence my fault. This person is a horrible person. Stay away.

Everything was cleaned up and cleared out before they left. Pricing was very reasonable, very happy with that, too. Thanks to them for a beautiful job well done.

Warning to homeowners and neighbors: Based on our…read moreexperience, we strongly advise others to be extremely cautious before hiring TCD Development LLC or its owner Jorge Talavera. We hired this company for a full backyard renovation at our home. The written plan included demolition, drainage, paver patio installation, sitting and planter walls, stone-slab steps down the hill, fire pit, outdoor shower, bluestone walkway, LED lighting, flashing, bluestone caps, and an outswinging French door. Between September and October 2025 we paid about $34,500--around 80 percent of the total price. By October 15 work had stopped with no pavers installed, no lighting or fire pit built, no shower, and no French door delivered. Large areas of masonry and framing were left open and unfinished. Gaps remained around a temporary door, no railing was installed despite the patio being over 30 inches high, step risers varied up to 9-10 inches, and a drainage pipe was added that does not fit the gutter system. Mr. Talavera told us that all materials had been ordered and would arrive "1000 percent this week," but nothing was delivered and communication ended. A new licensed contractor has confirmed that the work left behind required extensive correction before completion. We have filed a police report with Wall Township PD and a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. In our opinion, this was the most disappointing experience we've ever had with a contractor. We would not hire or recommend TCD Development LLC to anyone. Please research thoroughly and demand written proof of material orders and permits before paying.
