"Extremely well in every respect. They had their equipment in the area finishing up a commercial job nearby, and had extra material, so they cold-called me (based on the condition of my driveway, I'm sure!), explained their services and measured up the drive and provided a firm quote on the spot. The price was right and I liked the gentlemen (Robert Elsten, the owner and his nephew Rocky), so we shook hands and agreed they'd bring their equipment over to my drive and get started the next day. Early the next day Robert called and explained that the light drizzle that was expected during the day would make it less than ideal for asphalt to adhere, so we agreed they'd get started the following Monday, when sunny conditions were called for. They showed up on time and got to work with a cleanup crew of 10 or so and were ready to start paving by noon. We have a circle drive, a cutout with a carport (supported by four posts) and an extension to the two-car garage . The surface applied was even, uniform and right up to the curb and the garage and consistent around the carport posts. We had a light rain the next day and there is almost no pooling of water - excellent grading and drainage. All around a top-flight experience. Recommended!

"J & M Roque did an excellent job on the repair and reseal job on my driveway. They were honest up front on the work that needed to be done, and that built my trust within the company. Their quality of work exceeded my expectations. My driveway needed desperate repairs, i chose this route versus repavement. I am glad i did."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway. 

The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.

If you wish to break up a cracked or broken paver for removal, you can use a hammer or mallet and a chisel to fragment the paver. As you’re working, be careful not to disturb surrounding pavers; the key is to work slowly and steadily and remove the broken pieces gently. You should also wear a mask and goggles to ensure that no dust gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth as you work.
