MANCINI-FERRARA & SONS INC

They were upfront with their scheduling and that it would likely be a few months before they would be able to perform the work on the driveway. The gentleman who came to give us the quote (no estimates, what they tell you is the price you will pay - which I liked). I had another company give me a quote of about the same amount, and that person told me that Mancini-Ferrara is the best around. All quotes/estimates I got for doing the driveway were about the same.
We were put on the list for this year (2015) and I was told that the asphalt jobs began in April/May (when the weather shifts to consistently spring). They called and set up the job the last week of July. We weren't in any hurry so chose to wait for the best crew to do our job.
The work itself began around 9am and they were able to complete our job in one day, finishing around 6pm. I assume larger jobs may require more time.  The finished product was fantastic. I was extremely impressed with the quality of work performed.
Also, every time I called their office, the customer service was excellent and very friendly. Highly recommend this company.

The owner (the original founder, I think) came promptly, and was clearly very seasoned and knowledgeable.  He was straight forward about what he thought should be done, what areas needed more or less work, and alternative options. We hired based on a recommendation from another businessman that this outfit was known for the best quality - and a commensurately higher price.  That is exactly what we got.  They did an excellent job and cleaned up well afterwards.  They had good equipment.
The only negative is that the job took about 2 months to start after we agreed on the contract.  They claimed that the problem was related to a dependency on getting the road oil from the State. not sure about that,  but we weren't in a rush so we didn't mind much.
