Jim Stutz and his crew did an amazing job sealing our driveway. From the beginning he provided an honest and upfront estimate and also followed up with us on the project. The crew was careful, professional and quick. We actually had neighbors ask for his info to have their driveway done as well. We look forward to working with Jim Stutz again in a few years when we are in needed of resealing. Thank you for the great service.

Mr Stutz did a good job and charged me fairly. My driveway has curbs; he put sealer everywhere it was supposed to go without getting it anywhere it wasn't supposed to go. I had several big cracks in the pavement and he came back twice to make sure they were completely filled. Driveway looks great!
My two cents on the scheduling since everybody else brought it up: he made 3 trips out to my house (twice to fill the cracks and once to put the seal coat). Each time, he called the day before to let me know he was coming, and each time he gave me the option of rescheduling if it was a bad day for me. Short of holding him responsible for the New England weather, I can think of no better way to handle that. I wouldn't have wanted him to put sealer down when there was rain in the forecast, nor would I want him to schedule me weeks in advance and then have to change it anyway because rain messed up the plan. I think the way he handles it is actually the best possible way to do it.

Jim Stutz was very professional and they did a great job. They came here a couple of times before applying the seal to repair some cracks in the driveway. Jim always left a phone message the night before to let me know they were coming and whether or not I needed to have my car out of the driveway and when I would be able to park in the driveway when they were through. I plan to use him again the next time I need to have my driveway sealed.

Called - got an estimate - work completed. Jim is very efficient. My only issue is that the large crack that was repaired in October has already opened up. This is less than two months. The large crack repair did not last as long as I would have hoped. Since this is the first time I have ever had a crack sealed, I am not sure if this is common - which is why I gave quality/overall a B grade. If the job prevents more winter damage and I can redo the work in spring for the same price all will be good.
Update: saw the provider attachment regarding cracking as well as response. Thank you.

Response from Stutz Driveway Sealing and Repair
"Mr. [member name removed]: Please see the info below concerning cracks in asphalt. Please call if I can answer any other question for you. -Jim 268-9990 Why does asphalt develop cracks? All asphalt driveways eventually crack. Most will show some signs of cracking after just a few years. There are several causes for cracks in asphalt driveways, the most common of which are the following: (1) Shrinkage. Asphalt shrinks as it ages. As asphalt pavement gradually contracts over time, cracks develop (similar to a mud puddle drying out and cracking in the sun, except that asphalt takes several years to shrink and crack, while a mud puddle might dry out and start cracking in just a few hours or days); (2) Heavy vehicular traffic; (3) A settling or shifting base beneath the driveway; (4) Tree roots. Asphalt cracks: Is there a cure? No. Cracks in asphalt can and should be regularly treated, but they can never be permanently eliminated. Regardless of how cracks were originally caused, and regardless of the technique used to fill them, they will inevitably recrack along the same line and require refilling from time to time. What good does it do to fill cracks if they’re just going to come back again? Regular crackfilling benefits a driveway by preventing grass and weeds from growing through cracks, and by slowing down erosion under the driveway by limiting the amount of water that runs through and under the surface. Also, an untreated cracked driveway can become unsightly in a hurry. Regularly filling cracks and sealing the driveway will keep up its appearance."

Overall very satsified. Received a quote within a day or two of my initial phone call. After we agreed to go with Jim's service, an appointment was set up within a couple of weeks once the weather was good. Jim also confirmed with an automatic message the evening before which I appreciated.

Jim was very responsive and came out to the house within 24 hours to get me a quote. He did the work the following week for the quoted price and it turned out very well. Jim was very easy to deal with and I would recommend him.

Jim is the consumate professional. He is honest, doesn't try to sell you on anything more than what you need! A rare...and I mean a RARE tradesman. He told us that overall he could fix our badly neglected driveway (from previous owners). I think the last time (if ever) our driveway had been taken care of was at least ten years ago. They came out, fixed the bad cracks. Several days later they came and sealed the driveway! It's beautiful! Thank you so much Jim! I highly recommend this company! I already recommended a neighbor...and now see they've had their driveway done by Jim!

WE'VE USED THEM SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. NOW THEY'RE FAMILIAR. WE KNOW THEM. IT'S VERY GOOD. HONESTLY MANY TIMES WE DON'T SEE THEM. THEY DO THE WORK WHILE WE'RE GONE, AND IT USUALLY TAKES TWO DAYS.
Response from Stutz Driveway Sealing and Repair
"Hi Customer, Thanks for the good review -- very glad you've been happy with our service over the years. (BTW, our fee for your driveway sealing has been about $250 -- not $500). All the best, Jim"

EVERY YEAR THEY SEND OUT A MAILER SAYING YOUR DRIVEWAY IS IN NEED OF ITS YEARLY INSPECTION. THEY ARE VERY PUNCTUAL. THEY CALL THE NIGHT BEFORE AND SHOW UP WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL. THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB. IT ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT WHEN THEY GET DONE TOUCHING IT UP.

THEY ARE VERY CONVENIENT AND CLOSE TO HOME. I REALLY DIDN'T DEAL WITH THEM EXCEPT ON THE PHONE. THEY WERE PROMPT, AND THEY WERE NEAT. HE'S EFFICIENT AND I WAS VERY SATISFIED.
