Response from The Asphalt Company
"The Asphalt Company did not do this job. You must have me mixed up with another company."

Before finding Jim, last Fall we had hired a different company to put in a driveway and patio for us.  That project did not go well, and we had to fire that other guy.  That left us in a pinch because the bad contractor tore out our old driveway at the end of the construction season, leaving us a mess to live with all Winter.
Jim helped us deal with the other guy's mess, doing what he could with his Bobcat to clean up our driveway before Winter came even though it was too late in the season to install the blacktop.  Then when it finally stopped raining this Spring, he and his crew did a nice job putting the driveway in, just the way we asked for it.  I really appreciated Jim's professionalism and his effort to satisfy our needs.

They did a nice job. I bid out to 5 different providers - they were the lowest bid.
They made me a priority and went above and beyond.

I called Jim from work asking if he could give me a quote. He happened to be in my area and got back to me within 30 min. We agreed on a very reasonable price, and he told me he'd send me an invoice in the mail so I wouldn't have to leave work, even though he didn't know me at all! He did a wonderful job- It looks great, cost less than Seal King, and was the easiest quickest house improvement I've ever made. He saved me a lot of time. I really hate doing this kind of thing, but he made it really painless.

They came promptly for estimate and for service. Worked most of a day, and returned to fix a place that they had noticed that they missed.
I was very pleased

. I was having some rodent issues in my home and the pest control person suspected the sunken driveway as point of entry. I tried several asphalt contractors but no one was willing to do the work, citing cool temps as main reason. Jim Cigelske responded right away, coming at night to take a look at the job. He was punctual and professional and a pleasure to work with. He gave me a quote that same evening which I accepted. He performed the work one day when I was not home. He checked with me first on this to see if that was ok with me, which it was. He did a nice job on the patch and also gave me estimates for replacing the whole driveway, which I had requested. All in all, the process was seamless.

Lots of holes, divots, etc and cracks running completely across my driveway (2 1/2 car garage width and fairly long), he dug out and carefully patched (just like when they do a good job on highways, nice squares and rectangles, not just blobby holes), filled in all of the cracks.  He was careful to wait long enough between patching and sealing, and made sure that it wasn't wet or going to rain - a GREAT job!

Overall, everything went well. I never met them face to face, but they were easy to work with and very responsive. The job seemed a little expensive, but this was the only company I tried and they were up front about everything. I had given them estimated dimensions over the phone, and they gave me an estimate based on that information. When I actually measured the driveway, with all its various widths and angles, it turned out that I had substantially more driveway than I estimated. So the price ballooned to $600.00. I just can't accurately say if the final price was a fair price or not, but the work quality was at least "good."

Due to weather they were unable to make the appointed date. They called and explained the delay and said they would be out on the coming Monday. The job was done on Monday and I am very happy. I was very impressed with the neatness and quality of the work. I will surely use The Asphalt Co. again and highly recommend them.

James provided a neighbor with two dates to seal coat all 20+ neighbors driveways. When it rained and the sealcoating was delayed, James sent all neighbors an email with an apology and the new scheduled date. The driveway looks great. We got a great value for the price.
