Get matched with top asphalt driveway pros in Newberry, FL

"It went great!"

"If you are looking to get driveway repaved, do not call All About Asphalt. We had our driveway repaved over 2 weeks ago. I've given Heath 3 weeks to fix his mistakes and heard nothing. No followup after the work was done. Surface is bumpy. Feels like a cheap carnival ride when driving over it. Many high and low areas. Edges are not feathered to existing walks and garage. One inch step at a concrete pad in the back. No cleanup done, chunks of asphalt in grass. Roller marks in a few places. Edges not straight at lawn. Grass growing through areas where paving is uneven. Pooling water when it rains or irrigation runs. This morning I found an eight inch bar embedded in the asphalt where it could have flattened a tire. Heath and Andy were training 2 newbies and the workmanship shows it. Asphalt was cold and they did not heat it to roll it out."

"Super nice guy, very congenial, very friendly - can't overstate what a pleasant guy he is, talks a great game - but the results were horrible. Brush marks (which I was assured over and over again would disappear - "you won't even see 'em") are clearly visible everywhere and can be seen in the attached photo. The sealcoat product used was either too diluted, or pulled too hard, or improperly applied, or didn't have the correct additives because it didn't even fill the tiniest of spider cracks. How can a properly mixed and applied sealer with the correct solids NOT seal even the smallest of cracks? Literally this seal coat didn't hide anything ! NOT A SINGLE IMPERFECTION WAS HIDDEN. Hard to believe. Provider claims that he advised me that "hairline cracks get filled with sealer they do not disappear". This statement in itself doesn't make any sense. The sealer is going to fill cracks but not bridge any of them? Not a single one? Not even cracks that are less than 0.3mm wide - which is the thickness of the product when applied? Actually, provider avoided answering specific questions about results and repeated fluffy generalities. I missed that giant red flag. I couldn't imagine a worse result for my $2200. As soon as it gets a little dirty - the driveway actually looks worse now than it did before. To provider's credit, he came out to review my concerns but wanted more money to fix something that should have been done correctly in the first place. Struck me as a kind of a stunt to do an unsatisfactory job and then attempt to get more money to fix it! In fact, a few hours after the job was done, I was sent an invoice and asked if I would like to go ahead with a second coat? That, to me, indicates provider immediately knew the job was unsatisfactory since I had made it clear to him up front, that from all of my research and talking with other highly rated seal coaters that a second coat was a SCAM. For the condition of my driveway - 1 properly applied coat should have been sufficient. I initially chose provider because he was willing to work with me for an entire day on crack repair - but in the end I did all the crack repair myself using thousands of feet of melt in product. By the time I was ready for the job - the provider had taken a full time job and could only do our job on a weekend. More red flags. Should have gone with someone else that does this work full time NOT part time. Well known home repair expert Bob Vila says this about asphalt based sealers - "... they are designed to fill cracks and provide a smooth, hard surface" - which is contradictory to the provider's comments below. And as a final indication of the unsatisfactory quality of this job - I measured how THIN the coating actually is. It is about 0.3mm thin or less than 12mils which is about the thickness of an epoxy paint you might put on your garage floor. I could have used one of the fly-by-night gypsy seal coaters selling watered down black paint and gotten equivalent results. I consider this a complete waste of $2200 and I will probably have to call someone else out to see if this mess can be fixed."
