Very happy with their work

Freiji was the most competitively priced asphalt company when taking into account that I was going to tear up and remove my own driveway.  The initial contact was good, but the problems started when they came out to do the job.  They rushed through the job and did not lay the proper base under an area that was an addition to where the old driveway used to be. They also laid the asphalt over a portion of the garage apron.  These two things have led to waffling where the base was not built up properly and cracking where they laid over the top of the garage apron.  The problem got worse when they told me they would be out in late spring (2014) to repair/remedy these issues but did not happen.  They continued to push the date out until June when they began to tell me they could not find my file and would have to call me back.  After going through this a while they told me they would come and do the work towards the end of Summer. Still no call back to schedule at this point I contacted them once again as the weather began to cool off.  They assured me they would be out by the end of September even giving me dates but then not coming to do the work.  Knowing that I needed the work completed before it got cold again, I contacted another company who gave me recommendations on what I could do myself to try and prevent damage this winter until more permanent work could be completed in the Spring.  The drive way is now patched and sealed.  After dozens of phone calls I have given up entirely on Freiji to make this issue right. I would not want them back to make repairs anyway for the fear of them doing something else incorrect.

I am taking the highly unusual step of submitting this review at this late date in an effort to protect other people from the horrible experience I had with this company. Freije installed a one and one half inch asphalt cap over my damaged cement driveway in October of 2012. They informed me that in order to maintain their "one year warranty" (which is provided in writing) I would have to have the new pavement sealcoated the following spring. By the end of winter (March of 2013), the new surface already showed signs of cracking and excessive wear. When I contacted the company, they assured me that they take care of it and that the sealcoat application would address my concerns. The following summer, after a great deal of haggling and phone tag, the company rep came out to schedule my sealcoat. He made an observation about the poor condition of the pavement and asked me who did the initial work (obviously poor internal communication) and when I informed him that HIS company did the work, he became uncomfortable and quickly changed the topic. He told me I would need TWO coats to smooth the surface (at 550.00 apiece) and I foolishly agreed to this suggestion. They applied an initial coat that was adulterated with some type of oil (I had this observation confirmed by a competitor whom I contacted to try and figure out what was wrong.) The seal coat remained wet for weeks in certain areas of the driveway and WOULD NOT set up or dry. The crew broke the hinges on my heavy driveway gates trying to push them back out of their way, and they splashed seal coat down the west side of my white foundation stone and splashed droplets as high as 4 feet up the side of my white aluminum siding .After another extremely aggravating series of phone calls and promises, another coat was applied that was supposed to take care of the issue. I was also promised that the seal coat would be "power washed" off of the side of my house. The second application only worsened the problem. After another extremely frustrating round of phone tag, one of which included an unpleasant shouting match with owner Chuck Freije, he scheduled a personal appointment to see for himself what my problems were. He eventually came (claimed to be in the hospital for a while) and visually inspected my driveway. He acknowledged that "something is wrong" and that he was going to contact his seal coat supplier. He also promised to "reheat and recompact" my driveway to compress over 100 feet of pavement cracking that has occurred.(I have never heard of reheating asphalt that has already been installed). He looked at the seal coat splashed on the side of the house and covertly suggested that his crew would not be that sloppy, and that "rain splashing off the roof" probably caused the damage to my siding and foundation. (Are you serious?) He left, I haven't heard a word since, have retained an attorney, and am currently involved in a rather ugly legal battle in an effort to recover at least some of my costs. DO NOT use this company.

The driveway asphalt was breaking up.  They laid 2" on our hilly driveway and it looks great.

Prior to providing me a quote, a sales person visited my home to inspect the driveway.  He assured me that this was a simple paving job. I pointed out problem areas in the driveway, such as low points, crumbling, and uneven surface for the garage door to seal.  He again assured me these problems would be easily resolved by his company.  Further, he explained that they would ensure a good garage door seal by milling the garage door to driveway transition to achieve a level surface.  The company was punctual and applied enough manpower to complete the job.  Upon finishing the job, the foreman ask for the remainder of the money.  While I  provided him with a check, I did ask him to confirm that the transitions (garage door, street, and sidewalk) were done.  He indicated that they did not mill those surfaces.  I told him about the uneven garage door surface and after closing the garage door, sunlight was coming through both ends of the garage door for 2 feet on either side.  He acknowledged the issue and said they would not be able to fix this right then, but if we would choose them to apply a seal coat next spring, he was sure they could handle that problem.  He was on his way to another job and could/would not stay any longer to address this concern.  Since that time, I have been in contact with the salesman, by phone, and the office staff through emails and phone calls.  On six occasions, I was assured they would correct the situation and was given general dates that the repair crew would arrive.  So now after two months, several promises of return phone calls, and six instances of setting dates that were broken or ignored the company is unwilling to address what should be a very fixable issues.  In addition to the garage door area there are spots with poor adhesion.  It was clearly a mistake that I did not demand my check back unless the issues were addressed to my satisfaction.

No Show - twice

paid half up front when contract was signed, man said that they were running behind schedule and it would be about 2 weeks before the job would be done.  2 weeks went by and no phone call, so i called them.  the company stated that i was scheduled for 3 more weeks out.  they didn't even call me to see if that was a good day or not.  i spoke with the scheduling manager he stated that he would call me back with another day.  the next call i received was from them stating that they would be at my home in less than 2 hours.
communication isn't the best with the company.  sad. 
Update 9/16/13-I have cracks all over my drive way and I've called them 8 times to get them to come out to correct the issues but they haven't came back out. Its under warranty for a year and they haven't followed up with their promises.

The overall experience was good; did well but left a low spot where water puddles after any heavy rain. I think they could have done better on this part. But, it was in a low spot.

:  We had one problem with striping.  They responded immediately and fixed the problem no questions asked.  They were timely and have excellent customer service.

The overall experience was excellent.

They were very helpful in helping us make decisions regarding type of surface to make the side walks. They came back to look at a particular area when I thought it was breaking down and they fixed it.

They were responsive and professional.

They were as good as other bids we had. They were around the same ball park.

They repaired places and they did a very nice job and it looked really good. They even grated it a little bit so water would flow away from the house.

I could give them a high rating on their snow removal. They are great about calling me up and letting me know when they’re coming.

They did fine and I liked them. I have no problem with them and they did what they were supposed to do and they did the job well.

We were happy with them and they did a really good job! They were really nice and they did exactly what they said they were going to do.

It turned out great! They worked hard and later down the road when we noticed a crack they came out and fixed it right away.

The service turned out fine, and they did a good job.
