From the estimate to the actual work this company could not have been more professional and friendly. They did an excellent job replacing and widening my entire 1000 square foot driveway in approximately 5 hours. This crew knows their stuff, and I highly recommend their work.

Lasted less than a year. Had I known, I would have requested more than one layer of sealer but they assured me that one layer was enough. Not worth the money unless the sealer is poured on and spread by hand.

"[Member Name Removed], First of all I have no record of ever sealcoating your driveway. I do have record of giving you a quote to re-pave your driveway with new blacktop dated June 13, 2013. You did not hire us to do this work. Let's talk about sealcoating however so I can provide you with information. As a paving and sealcoating professional I disagree with your comments. The driveway was sealed in 2011 and you wrote a complaint 4 years later? If the sealer only lasted a year you could have contacted the seal coater in 2012. We have always used and recommend a latex blend SealMaster brand sealer. It is the standard in the professional industry to spray a new driveway with sealer after it cures for 2 summers with 2 light coats. Then one coat of sealer every 3 to 5 years. The sealer needs to wear away before re-spraying. We do not recommend brushing sealer on a driveway because it gets too thick. It builds up over time and the sealer itself begins to crack. It also gets slippery. A driveway should not be smooth, nor should it be always black. Take a walk thru a development and you can pick out over sealed driveways. They are smooth with hair line cracks and gray areas. The only way to correct this is to re-pave with a new layer of blacktop. Please do not over seal your driveway. I don't know who did your sealing, what kind of sealer was used, or how it was applied. But please do not make negative comments to companies that don't deserve it."

Normally I wouldn't bother to write a review for such a small and relatively inexpensive job but not this time. The quality of the work and the exceptional appearance of the finished product are worth noting. If this represents the typical attention to detail that they bring to the table then I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a larger project. I wish I had had them install the driveway initially but I didn't know they existed at the time.
