"Bob assured me up front that they do not dilute their coating as some others do. He was very careful in spreading and brushing out the sealer to be sure it was even and the edges were completely covered. There was no sealer left on the cement driveway aprons."

"John called me on Thursday after the review and made an appointment for the following Tuesday. John's nephew Ed called Monday evening and again Tuesday morning before coming. Ed was punctual and very professional as he explained every thing he was going to do. The job was perfect - even with the patches which he explained would be a little noticeable. The price was very reasonable as I had received estimates from others who were almost double the price. I would recommend Driveways Express to others."

"Summary:  Above average work, the crew seemed pretty good.  If there was a B+ grade I would give that as my overall grade, and for price and quality.  If everything was near perfect then I could give out A grades in some of these ratings. I was home for the install and looked at all the phases of work. Overall the job was done professionally but didn?t quite match expectations from the previous reviews and sales pitch, in particular with respect to grading at some points compared to original driveway, and especially with respect to the walkway from the house and final surface leveling/compaction.  The final asphalt coarseness was a disappointment, but in part to be fair, part of the final coarseness expectation was my assuming that top coat meant the same as my old one or a couple of the new ones around me.  That's not to say that the quality of their topcoat is as good as you can get - only that it appears finer.  You should ask about how fine the topcoat will be, ask for some pictures or something.  Overall I think the driveway appears to installed to be structurally sound and serviceable.  Details are highlighted below as to what went well and where I think it didn't go so well.  I'll update the review as necessary over the course of the two year warranty period and beyond.
History: Original owner of house - saw all phases of original installation of driveway. 
House and Driveway age: 26 years - no subsequent work done on driveway after builder?s install.   
Original driveway info: 45?x18?; 3-4? minimum base layer, 1.5 or so fine top layer; pulled away from garage due to natural shrinking process; a sunken section in corner around house; some center like cracking; cracks and failures around edges due to lack of edge support and (base) and base drainage/depth at bottom of driveway.  Less of an incline from garage out to walkway; slightly more incline down to driveway.
How did I go about choosing a service: Interviewed top rated services on Angies List and another rating site, as well as some recent neighbors and friends who had recent work done.  Quote range: $2500-$3500
Selected quote: Approx. $3300.  Included in quote: Excavation and dirt removal; fine grade and level area; weed killer; 2A modified stone if and where need (I expected some to be needed based on current issues and after looking at grading after old driveway was dug up); roll and compact loose material; 2? base (binder) blacktop; 2? blacktop machine laid and rolled; haul excavated materials away
Why did I choose Asphalt Services? As others have noted, their salesman, Mike seems very knowledgeable about driveways and appeared to genuinely care about doing the job right.  His discussion and belief, as compared to others was top notch, about making sure the foundation of stone was right, the crew not accepting poor quality asphalt, along with using a separate binder coat and then the topcoat, as compared to some other sales pitches that had only mix of these promises.  Similar to some others, Mike also walked around the driveway with me and noted any issues that he saw as well as the ones that I saw.
What happened?   What went as expected and what didn?t go so well?
The job start a couple weeks early due to opening on schedule: Got a call the afternoon before.  It was a nice surprise.
8:00: Arrived early, as other have noted.  Mike around 8 AM to go over driveway again, marking up some problem areas and a request to cutback so stucco from part of the foundation wall that went between the wall and the pulled away asphalt.  The rest of the crew was there by 8:15 to 8:30.
The crew seemed like a good bunch of guys.
Mike stayed around for the tear out of the old asphalt and the beginning of work.   Showed me the layers being torn out.   They thought it was two driveways perhaps due to its unexpected thickness or two layers.  As I mentioned before, the original builder put in a thicker base coat and then a topcoat.
Excavation of old driveway is completed in about 1.5 hours.
No new gravel is used.
The original depression and sunken area up near garage is filled with gravel and stuff from the center of the driveway.
Rope lines had been shot down on both side of the driveway.  Good, but showed some potential choices or issues that would need to be addressed based on how the original driveway was graded along with the interface to the walkway coming from the house.
Approximately 10:30: the driveway is graded and compacted more along the lines of a bit more straighter incline/pitch - shows a fair path of dirt instead of gravel on the right side of the driveway, but more importantly highlights the potential walkway problem, with several possible solutions.
Problem needing to be addressed which showed up early: The base is much lower on the side of the driveway that?s going to meet up with the walkway.   At this point possible solutions include
a) grading similar to the original installation (slighter decline/pitch coming out from garage, or 
b) potentially laying a thicker base than estimated towards that side of the driveway. 
c) potentially laying a thicker top coat later on
At this point the choice was no additional material - I guessed that a thicker base in the area similar to the original builder would be applied.  
By approx. 1:00-1:30 or so the base layer is in.  I went out and looked at it over lunch some time before this and thought this is still too low after the proposed top coat is installed.
Somewhere around this time Ken asks me to come out and look at the problem area around the walkway and asks me how high up to I want the top coat to match the walkway.   I said that it didn?t need to come all the way to the top because the original was slightly below the top.   Problem solved, I thought.   It?s going to be leveled higher toward that side with the topcoat.

Walkway Driveway Level End Result: 
Walkway solution didn?t go as expected.  Topcoat wasn?t flatly leveled to the walkway near where I indicated.   The asphalt was manually filled upwards  and hand tamped - moving concave or curved away from the walkway and down to the compacted pitch. The underside of bottom left hand corner of the walkway is just visible and that portion of the walkway will become more exposed with settling.  To fix this I?m probably going to have to in the near future tear out and install a new walkway; not something I wanted to do any time soon.  
Topcoat: as mentioned, much coarser than I expected.  This is more my fault for not researching or asking the right question.  When Mike mentioned topcoat I had assumed something similar to the original builders and what was just done for my next door neighbor a couple of weeks ago and nearby neighbor?s job about 9 months ago.There are rougher or more course spots due to hand tamping.   In some of the areas I?m concerned, though, that frozen water will break apart some of the more open and pocked marked areas where the aggregate isn?t closely spaced.  Time will tell.
Other asks and problem areas: 
Good: The sunken areas were taken care of.
Good: The crew was able to cut away that area of  stucco/concrete that I requested
Good: matched and leveled to the garage
Good: matched and level to the stre"

"I bought the coupon on Angieslist. They called me within a reasonable amount of days to schedule. I have a long driveway so there were additional costs. This was all explained to me by a very nice dispatcher. They arrived on time. They were very professional. The job they did is absolutely awesome! My driveway looks great and it is not peeling at all. We have been driving on it for a few days in the hot sun and it is perfect. Thanks PMG!"

"They quickly made an appointment to do the job on a Saturday. Then they canceled the appointment because they, "ran out of the sealer for the driveway". They rescheduled for the next weekend but then canceled again because They said it was going to rain although no rain was forecast. They made the third appointment to come during the week, which they kept. They did an excellent job with resealing the driveway. It was a neat and thick coat of sealant. Unfortunately,the job cost an extra $150 over the $200 deal because of the larger square footage of my driveway (the deal was for 1000 ft.² only). Moral of the story is measure out your driveway size in order to estimate the real cost of the resealing project."

FAQs for asphalt driveway service projects in Pine Hill, NJ

An asphalt driveway should last 25 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt used, the climate, how well the foundation was prepared, the type of soil under the foundation, and how well you maintain your driveway. Maintaining asphalt by filling cracks and reapplying sealer every few years can help extend the life of your asphalt driveway.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
