Get matched with top asphalt driveway pros in Johnsburg, IL

"This company is notorious for dishonesty and poor communication. When I hired them, the owner conveniently "forgot" to mention that my project would take 8 days--unlike every other driveway project, which typically takes just two. What he didn't explain is that most of those eight days would be filled with... nothing. They tore out my driveway, and then--silence. No work for two days. When I followed up, Michelle from the office told me they were waiting on a village inspection, which could take anywhere from two days to a week. That seemed strange, so I called the village directly. They informed me that no such inspection is required. When I confronted the owner and asked if this was his first time working in my village, he said no. I then asked why his office would mislead me about inspections if they've worked here before. His response? Silence. That's when the truth started to emerge. The quality of the work is fine. No complaints. Had the owner told me it would take 8 day"

"Job completed as requeted. ty"

"Ana in office was helpful answering my questions and followed up. Crew arrived at time expected and did the job as described. Will see how it looks in a couple days when sealcoat has dried."

"They did a professional job, were honest, and showed up on time and delivered on time. I will be using them again in the future."

"We are so happy with the job Holague Services did for us! We have special needs grandchildren and they helped us extend a half wall to keep our babies safe. They were professional, on time,had great communication and respected us and our home. Highly recommend!"

"Great customer service, quick and consistent communication, stayed within the budgeted quote. Arrived during agreed-upon time window, and did a very professional job. Would recommend, will use again in the future, fair priced!"

"I used this company for a number of years and the overall service is no longer the same. I had them over to clean my gutters and I witnessed ladders slamming against the side of my house and they tore one of the edges from the corner of my roof with their step ladder. I will not use them going forward."

They responded quickly and put together a plan to work around a very tight delivery timeline and all of the last minute adjustments needed to make things go right. The quality of work, peace of mind that everything is done correctly and confidence in our team all came at a reasonable price. Refreshing to deal with a company that cares about their customers' satisfaction, not just how much they can charge. You don't always get what you pay for, especially with the companies that have to pay for all that marketing. You'll get so much more when you call the Thrifty Nickel Handyman family, I know they'll always be our first call. Thank you Joe, Jeff, Victor and Nancy for all you do! Larry, Melisa and Kyra"

"Missed a lot of small pea holes in the middle of driveway. Said that is usual, but yet the sides had sealcoating in them and my small cracks. They came out to patch it and well looks awful. My son even told them the spots and they missed almost all of them. Usually they charge $90, but our subdivision had over 30 of us that went in and they charged $75. Over 30 of us are highly disappointed with the quality and false advertising on there flyer."

"I wish we had read his reviews here first. We never would have hired him. More of the same. I ended up coordinating with the subcontractors, and the window and door supplier myself. We only heard from Steve when he wanted another check. Whenever I questioned anything he would belligerently tell me how ungrateful I was. When the wrong window size was delivered, I had to sort it out with the supplier. In an effort to sound like he was in charge, Steve would tell me false updates on the order status. Then become combative when I would tell him what I was told from the supplier. I was essentially bringing Steve up to date on the status of a project he was allegedly G.C-ing. Our project was completed only because I stepped in."
