E STANLEY PAVING

Terrible,they did it in July of 2015,and in April 2016,it's all broke up by my garage,we broke a piece out,and it is only an inch thick,after 8 calls they said every time they would be out to fix it,it is July 18th 2017,and have not fixed it,this is by far the worst paving company I have EVER used,buyers,call someone else.

I had this company out a couple of times in the past to apply seal-coat to the driveway.
About five years ago they charged $75.
A couple of years ago they charged $100.
Since I had to have a faulty gas line replaced at the end of the driveway, the city replaced the old driveway section with new blacktop.  Now I have a driveway that is 75% original, and 25% new.  It was time to have the entire driveway seal-coated again.
E.Stanley came out and applied a sealant where the original driveway and the new blacktop was...and then seal-coated the entire driveway with fresh tar.  Total cost: $216.
Later that day I noticed they had applied tar over a worm and some grass clippings in the middle of the driveway.
The next day I noticed large cracks in the applied tar sealant.  The cracks were only in the sealant and not from the existing driveway. I had a concern that water would get into these cracks and cause issues...especially when the snow falls.
I called and left a message with my concern.  No response.
I then emailed them through their website.  No response.
When I originally emailed them through their website regarding a quote they called back immediately.
Now that they have my cash...I'm not hearing back from them.

In summary:
Price doubled.
Careless application.
No customer service.
No receipt / no paperwork / no warranty.

I was going to have them tear out my driveway next year as I want to install garage drainage, eliminate the low spots in the driveway and have a fresh clean driveway...the original driveway and the new is very pronounced.

They arrived on time . The verbal agreement was to widen half of the 370 foot driveway to 12 feet wide and seal the remaining half. They widen the first 90 feet to 12 feet wide the second 90 feet was only 11' 2" wide. On sealing the second half it looks like a zebra! Every 8 to 10 inches you can see through to the driveway. The next day the weather said it would rain. After 24 hours three feet in front of the garage door and a five foot strip where the sealant met the new pavement were was still wet. We set up fans to try to dry the two wet areas prior to the rain. We were able the dry the area in front of the garage but not the area where new pavement met the sealed area. As a result the rain washed large patches of sealant away. We called Stanley and told him that the sealant had washed off and asked if he could bring more sealant . After three calls we have yet to hear back from Stanley. We have pictures of the driveway and the better business bureau has been notified. I wish we had joined Angie's list sooner!

The quote was $3200.  Their quote was good but they were actually going to put two inches down and the other company actually put four inches down in some places.  They wanted to start the next day, but I understand that the paving companies weren’t quite open yet and I would be getting cold paving instead of a good warm pave.  So the other company said we should wait till it opens.  I thought the price was really good and I don’t know that much about paving but they were all in the same ball park pretty much.  They came right away and wanted to do it right away.  They were on time.  The guy who came out was a kind of party looking guy.

The contractor's personnel paved my driveway and parking area with asphalt.  Though they left without finishing the job, I paid  in full immediately after they left ( big mistake) when Amy, E Stanley secretary, came out to collect a check.  That afternoon after they left and I had paid, I called Eric (head of E Stanley Paving) at his cell phone number and mentioned that his company had not completed my job and he stated that he would complete it.  After that, I left repeated messages with his company and received one phone call from his secretary, Amy, stating that Eric would complete my job by a certain but no one has called to schedule completion and, of course no one has showed up to date.  Based on treatment, it is my feeling that this company is stalling me and does not intend to ever complete my job.  It is now over a month since he and his crew left and I have received no other phone contact even though I have left repeated messages at both his office and cell phone numbers asking that someone call me.  With respect to Quality, his crew shortchanged me on area of coverage leaving less asphalt than the original parking and drive areas.  He also left very uneven asphalt edges along my driveway and parking areas.
Now, I will need to contract with another paving company to finish my job, obviously adding to my costs.

The contractor's personnel paved my driveway with asphalt millings.  At the next rain, the driveway largely washed away leaving large areas of ripples and worst of all, areas of completely washed away asphalt with only the base driveway material showing and exposed...looked horrible and was like driving on 300+ feet of speed bumps.  This contractor's work was a complete waste of money ($3300).

Great example of how a bad job should look. Areas not covered during the 'sealing' job. No response to repeated phone calls. Suspect he diluted the 'sealing' mix. The really bad part---he paved the driveway 10+ years ago and did a great job. Now he lives on his previous reputation, and craps on it.

I was not satisfied with how they did it and complained, but they did come out and make it right. The first seal had cracks in the driveway and they didn't do a top seal coating. They just sprayed some of the sealant into the cracks and didn't do the sealing correctly a couple of times. They sent out somebody else with the correct equipment to go over it and redo it. The price was fair. We went to them thinking they would be the best in town, but they ended up kind of screwing up. We were not impressed based on what we have heard. It took them a week or so to get out here and finish it.

My driveway was a huge eyesore and at the bottom would collect water which in the winter would cause many slips and falls.
E Stanley came out to do a quote.  It would entail ripping up the base and top and repave the entire driveway.  I accepted the quote and was told they would do the job the following week.  I never heard from the crew but they showed up to the job.  They said they tried calling but couldn't get through - my phone had been offline and am unsure if the voice mail system was offline as well.  
They did a beautiful job.  Neighbors would stop me and ask who the contractor was.  It has rained numerous times and am happy to say there is no water collection at the base.
