Description of Work: I found PAR Asphalt on Angie's list with a group of good reviews. Gene, the owner came out and gave me a bid that was half of everyone else to repair/pave a long driveway, 500 feet, as well as the entrance to the garage and circular drive in front of the house. They arrived promptly and started work cleaning and digging out tree roots. They finished in two days and left in the afternoon. When I inspected the drive I found out that there were many bumps and valleys, more like a mogul ski run, the entire length of the drive. Their roller left ridges and cuts, particularly along the drive's edges. In front of the garage was a depression that I wanted him to fill in so that the water would not collect in a puddle during rain events. He did not do it. I called and he came back several weeks later and added a little asphalt to the depression and left. The puddle still exists. When the strong rain events came in January it washed out parts of the drive that had a thin coating of asphalt and pulled up many small cinders from the asphalt. Several sink holes also appeared along a retaining wall. I e-mailed him three times, including photos, and asking him to come out so that we could discuss the job and reach some sort of agreement as to how to repair the drive. He has never responded to the e-mails or has anyone from his office called me. He was to return during Feb. to seal coat the drive but it is far from being able to be seal coated. They have never called as to when they were to come out and finish the job.

+ -1 moreInitially everything was fine. Gene, the owner of Par Asphalt, came to my business in a reasonable amount of time and was quick to provide a reasonable quote. Unfortunately, the work was very substandard. The contract included some asphalt patches in some areas to help with drainage and fixes to "alligatoring", where the asphalt cracks and creates little valleys. The asphalt patch was successful in maybe 20% of the area, but the remaining patches either wore away within a few weeks or did not remotely solve the problem. Drainage is actually worse in some areas than it was before the work, and basically nothing was done about the alligatoring. After the work was done, I made numerous attempts to reach Gene to inquire about some fixes. I let him know that he had an opportunity to fix the situation, and I did not expect perfection, but otherwise I would post a review based on the work as it stands. I was completely ignored. I will never use this company again and I recommend that you do not either.

+ -1 moreFirst of all Gene, the owner of Par Asphalt not only listens but provides wonderful suggestions as to how to improve your driveway. He was the only asphalt company, we had three give proposals, who suggested an asphalt border. His suggestion of installing a border has really improved the looks of our new landscaped yard. His price was fantastic, and the quality of his workmanship even better. They were to start at 7:30am on the 30th and that is when they arrived. They are a family run business with both a son, daughter, and close friend being the crew, and Gene the father, supervising. The work was done carefully and well. They prepped the pavers that adjoin the circular driveway so that our pavers would not get asphalt on them. They were careful of our yard. They worked efficiently and with care. I had to call Gene after they sealed the driveway as our irrigation system was being inspected that afternoon and I did not know if it was ok to have water on the sealed driveway. Gene called back within minutes letting me know it was fine. They came back the next day, again exactly when they said they would be here, and sealed the driveway. Our driveway looks great. It was a pleasure doing business with such a professional company that is so customer service oriented. Yes, we would use them again. In fact, Gene said they will send us a notice in 3 years to remind us to get our driveway sealed again. You can bet we will use Par Asphalt to do our next sealcoat. Yes, we would recommend them.
Description of Work: Provider put an asphalt border around our driveway; fixed one entrance area to our driveway that had deteriorated; patched areas between where we put in new pavers and the driveway; filled cracks and sealed the entire driveway.

Description of Work: The owner was very nice and worked alongside his workers. I chose to fill in the cracks myself, so for the price he put asphalt on two very long driveways. | |The driveway is older and I knew that the cracks would return, which they have already done. Not their fault....but I would definitely call them again.

+ -1 moreThey did a great job! From the time they answered the phone to the time they finished was 4 days! The quote was for $2000 but they gave me a 10% discount for having a flier! They were on time and quickly got their job done!!! Very reliable and excellent work. They even made a little asphalt ramp off the driveway for me to offload hay! I would highly recommend this American small business if you want a job well done.
Description of Work: Our driveway had huge broken and sunken in places. There were very deep cracks and crumbled sides. We had the cracks filled and all the broken places fixed on the third and the whole thing resurfaced and sealed on the 5th!
