Neighbors appreciate company’s courtesy

The 220th Street SW repaving project took several weeks to complete. Wilder Construction was the contractor on the project. Traffic delays on large paving jobs are necessary. Wilder did an excellent job to minimize those delays. They came to our door to let us know ahead of time when they were going to be working on the entrance to our cul-de-sac, giving us the opportunity to leave and take care of our business. Their employees were polite and efficient in their work. My compliments to them for the consideration they showed those of us who live on 220th. We appreciated the fine job they did.
