Get matched with top asphalt driveway pros in Mchenry, 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."

"A few timing issues, but it was done and at a rate I appreciated."

"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."

"We were referred to this company and spoke with Steve. During early phone conversations, we were told the job was usually around $1,000. We scheduled a 10:00am appointment. Steve called after 10:00am to confirm, but did not arrive until close to noon. When he came to see the space, the price discussed was $1,500, which we agreed to. We paid a $750 deposit via Zelle to schedule the work and signed the contract. We agreed to purchase the exhaust fan ourselves. After purchasing it, we were told there would be an additional $200 charge to install it. We were also asked to send an additional $75 via Zelle for HOA paperwork and insurance. No work was performed other than the site visit. After multiple added costs were introduced and before anything started, we decided to cancel. We were then told the deposit would not be refunded. With no work performed, a partial refund felt reasonable. That was not our experience. We would not use this company again."

"It went terrible. They did not show up the day scheduled and I had to email to find out what was going on, the next day they showed up and did a terrible job. There was and still is tar all over the grass. There was tar on the sidewalk and pave stone. Chunks of tar on the driveway and they didnt even finish the apron part of the driveway and didnt not contact me about it. I again and to email them to fix and finish the driveway seal. The job resulted in them having to use a water pressure for over an hour which highly increased my water bill and got tar on my flowers.. The entire drive way seal was completed over the coarse of a week when the day of service should of been a matter of an hour. We will NEVER use this company again."
