Love this place even though it was temporarily. The pay is amazing, way better than Alabama pay. It doesn't matter what county in Alabama. The state of Alabama can not touch the pay this company offers.

Inconvenient, don't know how to set up detours or mark signs. Turned a 10 min drive into an hour because they had no road closed signs or detour signs

I frequently drive through the 35W Crosstown and appreciate it each time when I recall how much of a traffic mess it used to be before Ames Construction reworked it.

Horrible customer service. Running their trucks on highways breaking windshields then saying not going to pay because it's my word against theirs. They should be ashamed of the debris they leave on the roads and that comes off their trucks.
