A nightmare. Large areas of the drive almost immediately started breaking up, but were told that this is 'normal. Contacted them no fewer than 5 times over the last year with several assurances that they would get right back to us - nada - until I contacted the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I asked - repeatedly - for someone to call me when they would come out so that I could show them huge swathes of the drive that were completely breaking down (see attached photo). Of course, no one called me, and after I contacted the BBB, I was informed that someone did come out and that all is well and we will 'enjoy' many years of use. Well, take a gander of this pic - which they said looks fine- portions 1/4 to 1/2 inch of asphalt have already broken away despite being resurfaced twice. We have had multiple contractors doing repairs at our house and all have asked "who did your driveway?' - and not from an admiring perspective. This has been a complete nightmare and we are now looking for someone to resurface the drive. Buyers beware...
Description of Work: Had our drive redone for almost $6000 at the end of 2016.

Need to have driveway replaced. Spoke with "Gail" to have someone give me an estimate 4 times. Each time I was told that someone would call to set up a time to give me an estimate. I never received a call back.

I would give them A's across the board on everything. The price was very competitive with everybody else.

D and H Asphalt did not meet the specifications of the contract. Specifically, the asphalt was to be installed in 2 lifts; a coarse base layer and a finer finish layer and each lift was to be rolled and compacted independently. The installation was performed in 1 lift using only coarse base material. The installation and finishing processes of raking and rolling were both sloppy and incomplete. The net result was a very rough and scarred surface with low spots that do not drain properly. The surface that looks bad and, more importantly holds water and ice which will cause accelerated deterioration of the pavement. D &H denied that the specifications had not been met. The company representative straight-out lied about the non-conforming materials and installation processes that were used. They did not meet the promised schedule and did not contact me about the schedule revisions. Communication was very poor throughout the process and in the end D & H Asphalt completely refused to communicate when I attempted to resolve the non-conformities of the contract. I requested the opportunity to negotiate a settlement via voicemail at the conclusion of the work in the summer of 2013. I received no invoice for these services until 5 months after the work was performed and the bill was accompanied by a formal threat of legal action for non-payment. I responded to D & H's delayed invoice with an explanation of their failures, their refusal to communicate, and their lack of willingness to negotiate a solution to the failures of the contract. It has now been 7 months from the conclusion of the work and I have not received a response from D&H regarding my letter of explanation for non-payment.

The driveway was cracking after less than a year and she was unhappy about that. The driveway started showing signs of cracking along the edges. We just had a guy come look at it yesterday. You are not suppose to take the asphalt all the way to the end of the base for the whip. You want the base to extend. Both our neighbor and I had had the driveways done at the same time and she had like sinking problems in the center first and big crack where water can get in and then pull the base material away and ruin the driveway. I think it was a reasonable quote. I know they came in low for a quote. They used less materials, so if you want to learn a little bit about driveway they can educate you. I don't think they were like drastically lower than anyone, but they have competitive rates because they have a smaller crew, so normally it takes 6 for a paving crew and they have 4. They cut cost there and then with the lack of asphalt, so if you want your driveway to last you will want 4 inches; here they only put two. We tried to get them out here and basically we had them, two recipients of the driveway and two customers and then the other company and then the asphalt guy basically making sure the materials were solid. They came over and they wouldn't even allow the home owners, the customers to talk to the asphalt guy because he was still pissed off and offended. They made my mom and my neighbors stay inside their home.

They did a very nice job. They did both mine and my neighbors. They were top notch. They were extremely efficient and worked hard. They even took off an old basketball goal and took that away. Their crews really knew what they were doing. They were very cordial. It was a very good experience.
Description of Work: They redid my driveway.

Total frustration - seldom returning phone calls - never setting a date to perform the services - job still not completed after 5 months. I would not recommend D&H Asphalt to anyone.
Description of Work: I first contacted D&H in July 2011 for an estimate of several hot patch repairs and seal coating for my 3 year old 800 ft. driveway. They delivered a suitable estimate to me in August which I verbally accepted. They sent me a contract in September for $1720 which I signed and returned asking for the work to be done the week of September 19, 2011. Thereafter they seldom returned my phone calls and kept repeating that the repairs would depend on the weather - never a target date or week. I finally gave up trying to set a date with them and went through the fall season with my driveway covered in leaves - not a good time for seal coating. Finally they showed up mid-November to begin the hot patch repairs - what a surprise! Then they inform me it is too late and too cold to do the seal coat for this winter and I will need to wait until 2012 for that??? Then they tried to bill me for the partial service until I reminded them my contract read "total due on completion of paving" and I would not accept such a half bill for a half completed job (now delayed until spring?). I thought the price was fair when I accepted the contract. I also thought the patching crew was courteous and they were surprised when I questioned: Why so long? - they said they had plenty of open time over the summer to do my job. Therefore, it appears that D&H has a significant management problem when it comes to delivering the contracted service. I will be surprised when (if?) they show up next year for the seal coat.

Looked okay at first. There was a large seam down the middle of the driveway. I noted this and expressed concern for potential cracks only to have the guy brush it off as 'normal'. Then the driveway started to deteriorate at a much faster pace than is 'normal' for residential traffic. The driveway has many, many pock marks from where the small stones that make up the asphalt have come loose. Three years later, the seam I noted turned into an enormous 150 foot long crack splitting up my driveway. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE MAINTAINED THIS DRIVEWAY IMPECCABLY. I mean sealcoating (with D&H) every other year, making sure the edges are backfilled, etc. Yet, I'm sitting here with a driveway loaded with cracks and divots. We called D&H and after coming out, the employees decided their boss needed to see this. So after making time for another appointment the guy literally tells me "Look, I'm not going to go redo this driveway." I wasn't even asking for that--just a solution so I wouldn't have this ugly driveway on my hands. Finally after much negotiating he said he'll fill the crack (that penetrates the depth of the whole driveway) for free if I go with him to sealcoat the driveway again. I thought this just might be a poor job done on our house, but D&H did a good part of the driveways in our subdivision and sure enough, almost everybody's driveway shows similar results. Go with someone (ANYONE) else. These guys cut corners like nobody's business. The quality is subpar at best.
Description of Work: Driveway for new construction. They first came and layed down the base layer upon which construction equipment could drive. This layer was allowed to settle for a full year before we asked them to come back out and put on the final, upper layer. We then had them come back out a few months later to fully seal it. Driveway was 16ft (at the narrowest) by 225ft not including a full Governor's circle of 40ft diameter. I'm not sure how much the job costed as the home builder covered a good portion of it. We further contracted them to do the Governor's circle which ran us about 15K. Thus, the whole job was probably around 45k. Job Dates: 10/2004, 8/2005, 6/06, 7/08, 2010

I needed approximately 1400 sq ft of paving done to complete the approach to a newly constructed garage. I contacted D&H and Ken Bullion promptly came out and gave me an estimate. Once I determined to use his company, they were out within a couple of days . They put in the base the first day and paved on the second day. The job was done well and the area left very clean with no mess for me to clean up. Overall a great experience

When they did the original job, they did most of it during the hours of darkness. That caused me concern about the work, but they assured me that that would not be a problem.
Description of Work: In September, 2006 D & H installed and asphalt driveway at my home, 3926 Penberton Drive, Ann Arbor. At their recomendation I had them seal the driveway in July, 2007. In July of 2008 a 40 feet long crack developed in the drive. The crack runs down the middle of my drive in the direction of my drive, and penetrates through the asphalt. I called D & H and on August 9 and 25 of 2008 I wrote D & H and told them that they had an obligation to seal the crack. They did not respond to my letters except to have a clerk from their office call me and advise me that they would exact their standard charge if they sealed the crack.

They were very courteous and professional. Considering the size of the job, these guys really got the work finished very quickly. The price was slightly higher than expected but the work was OK. I did think it could have been done a little better.
Description of Work: They repaved my 1160 square foot driveway.
