Response from Protect-A-Cote Inc.
We are sorry about the trash on the property; we try to instill better habits on our employees and when they do not conform to them it reflects poorly on us. As for the final section of the driveway, we did in fact complete the bottom of the driveway very quickly as we went back to finish within days.

They are not to be trusted. They gave us a quote that they were going to put in two inches of black top and only put in one. They did not respond at all to any questions or concerns that I had.

We were out of town when Protect-a-Cote did the work. We timed this job so that we would not have to make special arrangements for parking our cars at night (In our neighborhood, one is not allowed to park on the streets overnight).

I wasn't real happy with them. They didn't do the job I wanted so I called them back. It took two or three phone calls for them to call me back. I got a return phone call from them and they said they didn't fill impressions like I thought they did. They are going to come back and discuss it. I wasn't real happy. This is the first time I have any complaints.

I already had an asphalt driveway that I didn't do anything with in the 15 years I have lived here. They came out and repaired the lower half by replacing it with new asphalt. I had deep grooves in the driveway and some big holes; you couldn't even tell after the new asphalt was down and smoothed out. There wasn't hardly any mess afterwords. I was really impressed. They stayed in constant communication with me with scheduling of the seal coating. They came out about a week later and seal coated the entire driveway. They picked up any viney plants I had and did a very neat job. There was hardly any splatter at all! I do have to mention, even though I had an asphalt driveway all these years, I didn't exactly know what and when you could perform these repairs. I had contacted Protect-a-Cote early last October and they were to come out for an estimate. I didn't hear back from them so I called them and they said that it was too late in the year to do the seal coating. I did express my disappointment to them. I would of appreciated that knowledge of a cut-off date for seal coating. They did however contact me early spring and the rest is history!
Description of Work: Protect-A-Cote gave us a reasonable estimate on repair work on the lower half of the driveway and seal coating. They completed the repair work on one day and then came back a week later and seal coated the entire driveway. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves very well. The seal coating was very nice, there was no mess! I was impressed!

They seemed to do a careful, efficient job. The guys were nice. They were good about trimming vegetation along the edge of driveway so they could get right to the edge. They were easy to work with. I have no complaints.

Terrific! Fred Wyman could not have been more professional. He gave me a detailed, typed estimate, showed up on time, and had a hard working crew that finished the job in a day. The driveway looks gorgeous. I recommended him to two of my neighbors the same day of the service!

EXCELLENT! Mr. Wyman was there to supervise himself, and ran their paving machine himself. The workers were courteous and hard working. The driveway looks great and the entire house was improved by it's presence. The drain was well done and helps my yard (which is a bit of a bathtub) to be a lot drier. Well worth the expense. When a little asphalt settled around the drain later on, they came out and put in new asphalt and tamped it down. I'm very happy with this company! HIGHLY recommended!
Description of Work: Tear out and replace the entire driveway with asphalt and sublayer. Put in a very large drain as well.

They were very timely, did everything they said they would do when they said they would do it. They kept me informed as far as when we could use the driveway again. They worked very hard to get the job done efficiently. The owner, Fred, and his son and their crew were very attentive to our needs and turned out great work.

Good price, started and finished on or near scheduled dates. Asphalt did not slope toward drain, however, at one spot. It took them a couple months to come out to do the repair. The repair, once finished, was effective. Always returned calls promptly.

INITIAL CONTACT WAS PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. PRICE WAS GOOD, SO I DECIDED TO GET WORK DONE. PERSONNEL WHO SHOWED UP WERE NEITHER PROFESSIONAL NOR VERY PLEASANT. THEY DID THE JOB WITH THE MINIMUM OF PREPARATION, EG: DID NOT SWEEP THE DRIVEWAY OR CLEAR EDGES. CRACKS REAPPEARED WITHIN WEEKS AND THE ASPHALT STARTED TO LIFT BEFORE THE FIRST FROST. GUESS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

I CANNOT PRAISE THIS COMPANY ENOUGH! FIRST, THEY SENT A TWO-PAGE PROPOSAL, OUTLINING IN DETAIL EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD DO AND HOW THEY WOULD DO IT. IT INCLUDED A BROCHURE EXPLAINING THE RE-PAVING PROCESS IN DETAIL. I WATCHED MOST OF THE JOB, AND THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS EXACTLY AS THEY HAD DESCRIBED. THE WORKERS WERE PROFICIENT AND CAREFUL. THE PRICE WAS IN THE MID-RANGE OF THE ESTIMATES THAT I HAD RECEIVED. AFTER THE JOB WAS FINISHED, THEY SENT FOLLOW-UP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CARE FOR THE DRIVEWAY. I AM DELIGHTED WITH THE WAY IT LOOKS.
Description of Work: THE COMPANY REMOVED SIX FEET OF OLD ASPHALT FROM THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE AND ALSO FROM THE SIDEWALK. THEY EXCAVATED THE OLD DRAIN TILE AND REPLACED IT WITH NEW LARGER DRAIN AT THE PROPER LEVEL. THEY APPLIED A TACK BINDER TO THE ENTIRE DRIVEWAY, THEN RE PAVED, ADDING TWO INCHES TO THE OLD DRIVEWAY. THEY CREATED AN ADDITIONAL 9 X 12 AREA SO THAT I CAN TURN MY CAR AROUND IN THE APRON.
