I have a fairly large driveway that was totally repaved just three years ago. The area that needed work totaled roughly a third of the entire driveway. I had called many paving contractors and was able to speak to a small percentage of those called. Bottom line is that no one wanted the job because it was too small in their mind. Failing all leads from friends, yellow pages etc, I turned to Angie's List. I refined the list of contractors to those in my area, came up with a list of six, and began calling them one by one. I left messages for the first two or three and on the next call, Jim answered himself.
We talked for a few minutes and I outlined the job. He said he would be in the area that day and would come by -- which he did. He said he might be able to do the job in a week or two and I was shocked. I had gone months trying to cajole (ie, beg) contractors to give me an estimate -- let alone do the job -- and here was someone saying he would be by in a week or two.
After a week went by, Jim called and said he would be able to do the job in a few days. He wanted to meet in-person first to go over the job. When I said that I leave for work early, he said, "no problem, i'll meet you at 6:30 tomorrow."
Not only did we meet at my house the following morning, he was early. we went over the job; he said it would be done that day -- and it was. The repaved portion of the driveway meshes seamlessly with the old. It's perfect. Any time I needed to reach him -- when I forgot a few things (invisible fence line for the dog) -- he answered his phone.
From start to finish, he was terrific. Very nice man who does excellent work. The kind I appreciate as a homeowner and look forward to recommending.
Totally professional and customer oriented. Excellent, quality work done on schedule with great care to clean up. Worked closely to ensure what was completed perfectly matched the requirement. Shared weight slips for virgin asphalt and ensured plenty of stone base was properly installed and compacted. Have received many compliments on the work. Also, most reasonable bid.
UPDATE: FOLLOWED ALL DIRECTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION, STAYED OFF DRIVEWAY FOR NOT 3 DAYS, BUT 5 DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FULLY CURED.
WITHIN 6 MONTHS SECTIONS HAVE BEGUN TO DETERIORATE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE ASPHALT, THAT IT HAD TOO MUCH STONE. WAS ASKED IF I TURN MY WHEEL WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON THE DRIVEWAY WHICH I BELIEVE IS ITS PURPOSE.
I HAVE LOOSE STONES EVERYWHERE, VISITORS COMMENT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER TWO MONTHS FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. VERY DISAPOINTED. WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW WHEN FINALLY FIXED. I WISH I COULD UPLOAD PICTURES SO YOU COULD SEE FOR YOURSELF.
A COMPETITOR HAD THE MOTTO, " THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY LASTS FAR LONGER THAN THE SWEETNESS OF A LOW PRICE". I HOPE THIS ISNT THE CASE HERE. JIM HAS ASSURRED ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE WILL FIX IT, BUT IT HASNT HAPPENED YET, AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING MUCH WORSE CAUSING ME TO GIVE MY NEIGHBORS AN OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATUS.
"We ran out of time to seal coat and just could not get to it. No one called back the following season."
