"    All went perfect! The price was slightly higher than a couple quotes I had, but the other guys didn't explain much of anything & seemed impatient about answering questions I had. Now, my roof looks great & since it's properly ventilated, my new shingles will last longer! Mike & his crew did a great job & were wonderful people to get to know. I am very greatful Mike & his crew were willing to drive from Moline, IL to Wilton, IA to do work for me. Talk about going the distance for your customer! 
    Mike was on the job from start to finish. He came to give me an estimate & spent about an hour explaining what he was going to do and what the different products were that I asked about to use. I also asked for his opinion, which he gave & explained why.  He was very patient in answering all the questions I had and never acted like he was in a hurry to leave. I am greatful he took the time to explain things to my understanding & satifaction without making me feel rushed. I was also impressed to learn that not only do the shingles have a great warranty on them, but Mike has an 8 yr. warrenty on  his work as well!
    While doing the job, Mike & his crew worked well together & were quick, yet they paid attention to details. I was especially impressed when I looked out my window a few times, and saw that the guys that smoked would put their cigs. out & disposed of them in the trash & not all over my yard! Thanks guys! When the job was finished, Mike went around my home to double check everything to make sure that everything was cleaned up & finished correctly. My yard was as clean when they left as it was before they started! He made sure they got every nail they could find & every little scrap of paper, plastic, shingle, etc. that they could find. They also took extra precautions to check my driveway when ever I left or came home to make sure I didn't get nails in my tires. Job Very Well Done Guys!
     Any time I talked with Mike or his crew they were always polite & they were very friendly. Mike is a very respectable man & I would trust to hire him again in a heartbeat! I have some projects in the future I plan to do, & will definatly be calling him when I'm ready to do them. Thanks again, Mike!

"The prices were fair. They were on-time. The quality of work was good. There were a couple of drops of paint on the wall and they came back to touch it up. I thought they were very considerate when working and worked around a couple of days while I wasn't there. I would recommend them."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New homeowners in Ottawa should prioritize protective asphalt paving projects. Start with a professional assessment and seal any existing cracks before the first freeze-thaw cycle hits. Installing proper drainage is critical due to the area's proximity to the Illinois River. Also, consider edge reinforcement to prevent damage from snow plows and plan for regular sealcoating to protect the asphalt from Ottawa's temperature extremes.

Helpful?

A quality asphalt paving project in Ottawa will have several key indicators. The surface should be smooth and even, with a proper slope to handle local precipitation and prevent pooling. Edges must be clean, straight, and well-compacted. The finished asphalt should feel firm with no soft spots, indicating proper compaction, and have a uniform dark color. A thickness of at least two to three inches is essential.

Helpful?

After completing asphalt paving projects in Ottawa, allow the new surface to cure for 24 to 48 hours before driving on it. Schedule the first sealcoating within 6 to 12 months, followed by applications every two to three years. For winter preparation, avoid using rock salt directly on the asphalt. An annual inspection each spring is recommended to assess any damage from IL's harsh winters.

Helpful?

In Ottawa, some asphalt paving projects require immediate action while others can wait. Address large potholes, safety hazards, and significant drainage issues right away, especially before winter. Major cracks that could let water penetrate also need urgent repair. Minor surface cracks under a quarter-inch and simple fading can wait, but schedule these repairs for late spring or summer when temperatures are consistently above 50°F.

Helpful?

In Ottawa, IL, it's time for asphalt paving projects when you see specific signs of wear. Look for cracks wider than a quarter-inch, which expand during freeze-thaw cycles, or any potholes. Other indicators include a faded gray surface, water pooling after rain, and crumbling edges, often caused by snow plows. If your driveway is over 15 years old, it likely needs replacement.
