James Dawley Asphalt Paving Service

I requested a quote through Angie's list and I was contacted about an hour later. They provided a quote a few days later and completed the job 4 days after that. They did a superb job and I would definitely recommend them to anybody.

Excellent communication, quality and value. James and his crew exceeded our expectations. I believe they went above and beyond for us. I am no expert, but I do no know how they could have done any more for us.

James did a great job on our two circular driveways, one in front of the house and one that wraps around the back of the house. He responded quickly and was very professional. I appreciated that he halted the job because of the rain and waited until he knew for sure that the pavement could cure correctly. He's a class act. Thank you, James, for doing a wonderful job for us!

He does a great job. We have used him 4 times. Someone ran over it and he came back to patch it right away.

We hired James and his son Jerry to replace the gravel areas around our 3-car garage and basement walkout with asphalt. I was thinking about doing this for years, and after I heard two co-workers of mine talking about the great job they did I decided to pull the trigger and hire them. They prepared the ground the first day and put down the asphalt the second day. I had pretty high expectations based on the word of mouth reports and Jerry & James didn’t disappoint. They listened to all of my requests and did everything perfectly. While waiting for a truckload of crushed concrete to arrive James spent the time doing some grading in the skid loader of areas they weren’t even paving, an extra bonus for no extra cost! These guys cleaned up and left the area spotless. Can’t recommend them enough. On a side note, I was very impressed with the quality of the equipment they use and how well they maintain the equipment; this tells me they are professionals and pay close attention to detail which is reflected in the quality of work they do.

Needed a little touch up work which took some time to get done, but overall the job was well done and the crew was very friendly.

Great. On time. Professional. Quality job. Efficient. No mess left.

The Cliffnotes version: Dawley Asphalt did a fantastic job and I will use them in the future! Job description (I wish more reviewers would specify this!): we have a 200+ foot driveway that flares out near the house to accommodate a 3-car garage plus turn-around. I received 5 other estimates that ranged from $900-2300, but 3 out of the 5 were in the $1100-1400 range. When I first called Dawley (Late June), I was discouraged because the woman who answered the phone told me they were so busy it would take 2-3 weeks to even come out for an estimate and they would probably not be able to schedule the work until Sep-Oct time-frame! However, Jerry Dawley called me less than a week later and got an estimate to me the following day. We then had the work done the last week of July. The work was fantastic! We had them seal the cracks and then re-coat the entire driveway with sealer. They arrived on time (even called to say they were on the way), and performed the work professionally. I was quite surprised to see it only took them about 2 hours to complete our somewhat large-ish driveway. The work was very neat and the driveway now looks great again. I had probably waited too long to get this work done, but I will now not hesitate to get my cracks filled and driveway coated more frequently. I won't gather estimates next time -- I'm calling Dawley!

Dawley Asphalt arrived on time the crew was ready to go to work. They took care when working close to garage doors and any flower beds and sprinklers. They kept me informed on the work schedule. They kept the area clean made sure when they left that area around new asphalt was clean and loose material was sweep up. The new paving looks great

I called Jerry the owner pretty late in the summer and asked to have the work done. Because he was booked solid, he told me that he would do his best to get to me by the Summer's end. In early October, he informed me that he was sorry and had not forgotten me. A week later he asked if he could schedule my work in a few days and of course I said yes. He came the 16th of October and did the job. The results were better than expected. A very clean and efficient job was done. I am very happy with the work he did. However, my biggest surprise was when I got the bill for the work. $0.00. He only asked that I write a review. Jerry is a very personable and professional young man that takes great pride in his word and his work. I will call Jerry for future work, and I strongly recommend him and his company to anyone needing repairs or any asphalt work done. Thank you Jerry.

Exceptional work and communication.

Exceeded expectations. This is a father and son business (they actually do the work!), so they are totally invested in quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. As promised, it was a one day job. They safely and securely staged their equipment from flat bed trailers and trucks with roof mounted yellow flashers. Going right to work when they arrived at the promised time, they thoroughly prepped the old cracked driveway while waiting for the asphalt to arrive. The only non-family member of the crew has been with the company 12 years! The asphalt overlay was carefully laid and rolled, with the edges tapered and tamped by hand. The three worked diligently through the day with each knowing exactly what to do. The final result is a fairly long beautiful smooth blacktop driveway. Everything was cleaned up before they departed, and they hung caution tape at the end of the driveway. Have received comments from neighbors about the quality of the finished product. The Dawleys were a pleasure to work with, from the initial estimate through the final work day. Only problem was getting scheduled for the job--they were totally backed up this year with the bad weather, and we went through several dates that were postponed (they always gave me ample notice of the delays). However, they never cashed my check for half the estimate until the day the work was actually done. The schedule delays were worthwhile given the final product! Would recommend Dawley Asphalt without any reservations.

These guys did a great job! Even though they were booked out into August, they managed to squeeze us in in early July to seal our driveway. They were on time, courteous, and reasonably priced. We will use them again.

James was on time for the estimate appointment for sealcoating the driveway. He explained the different types of materials that would be used, gave us a written estimate and we set a date for the work to be completed. James & staff were professional & polite. They were very patient with us when we had to reschedule the work date due to a hail storm. He called the day before the work began to confirm the appointment. James and crew arrived at the stated time and went right to work. They cleaned the driveway then filled in cracks and put a base coat on the thin areas of the asphalt before coating the entire driveway. They were thorough, professional and polite. The driveway looks great and I'm confident that the sealcoat will last several years. It was a pleasure to work with a contractor who does what he says he will do! I highly recommend James Dawley Asphalt.

James and Jerry Dawley applied a seal coat to my asphalt driveway. They arrived on time, efficiently completed the work, did a high quality job and left a clean work site. I can't say enough good things about Dawley Asphalt Paving Service. They are true professionals. They did a much better job than another company I hired three years ago and did it at a lower price. Of note is that when Jerry Dawley learned of an emergency response we had from the fire department (unrelated to the driveway) and that we had firemen walking on and laying fire hoses on the driveway only a few hours after it had been sealed, he emailed to see if any spots on the driveway needed a touchup. This kind of thoughtfulness is much appreciated and was unexpected from a contractor. I would certainly use Dawley Asphalt Paving Service again in the future and would recommend them without hesitation to my friends and neighbors.

They were great...on time....took care and time in doing the work...very professional/polite....quality of work and finished product was outstanding...would readily recommend them to others as well as use them again......A+++++job/service

Done professionally and on time. Look good when finished but quality of work and materials used can only be judged in two or three years.

This is a professional and competent company. They did an excellent job. They were prompt and kept all appointments. The driveway is a long one and upon completion we were very pleased with the results. It is smoothly and evenly applied, with excellent finishing work and care taken on the sloped edges. They even took care to place a long pipe underneath at one end for us so we can place a wire in it for a future electronic dog fence. Mr. Dawley and his son are very pleasant people to work with and I would recommend their company to everyone. There was only one miss-communication in the whole project. There was a tree stump which was flush with the ground at the end of the concrete slab. I understood that they would grind it down, the Dawley's thought we knew to take care of it ourselves. Turned out okay in the end, as they were able to pave over it and you can hardly tell it's there.

A couple of days after calling, James Dawley came to my home, looked over the situation, calculated the area and gave me an estimate. He was scheduled for several weeks in the future. I was able to get scheduled about four weeks in the future once I chose him to do the work. I got estimates from two other contractors. They were withing a penny or two per square foot cost. I was very impressed with Mr Dawley's work. He, his adult son and a third man comprised the crew. They were thorough, conscientious and pleasant to deal with. The driveway looks perfect and is very cleanly finished including the edges. They took a day to do prep and cleaning and a day to lay the asphalt. We contracted for a 2" overlay. He removed and repaired several large areas that the other estimates wanted extra for. He put down significantly more than 2" of asphalt in order to fill holes and level out problem areas. Most of the cost for the job is in the asphalt. If someone is quoting a cheap price it is probably because they are planning to use less asphalt. James Dawley has been in business in Colorado Springs for a long time. He seems to be a good businessman who gets most of his work by word of mouth because he does a quality job. The asphalt truck driver said he delivers to several paving contractors and James Dawley always does a quality job.

We called James after all the recent rain eroded much of our circular dirt driveway which just had a road base. The last 40 feet (which run downhill) had deep ruts from the runoff. He came out the next day to give us an estimate, which he promptly emailed to us. We were able to sign a contract and set a date for the paving. We had to wait about 3 weeks, because the weather had been so bad his work schedule was understandably backed up. Snow was forecast for the original date, so James called us 3 days before to reschedule for the following week. He then called the night before to tell us when he would be arriving and that's exactly when he showed up. We really appreciate his courteous communication with us during this process. We are extremely pleased with the work on our driveway. It is fabulous!! First, all the dirt was leveled and compacted to a smooth finish.Then, he went above and beyond the work we contracted by extending the asphalt wider than the original measurements to assure that the job has a finished look. Our expectations were definitely surpassed. When he left, everything was clean and ready to use in 24 hours. Our neighbors have already complimented our new driveway and we highly recommend James Dawley's Asphalt Paving service to anyone in need of this service.

Excellent communication - kept us informed when weather caused delays. Very professional, high quality work - the driveway looks great. Will recommend Jerry to others.

Beautiful job, great service, good price. James is very easy to work with and he knows his business! My husband and I highly recommend him.

Excellent experience in all respects, quality, schedule, and price. I gladly recommend James Dawley Asphalt without reservation.

This was an excellent experience. I would definitely call them again.

Jerry came out promptly to do the estimate. There was a wait of a couple months, due to a backlog that he had for his business, but we didn't mind waiting at all because, due to all the positive reviews, we would rather have him do the job. He called a week before work was to begin just to let us know he had picked up the culvert pipes that he needed for our job, and would be ready to go on the given date. He, his father, and a couple workers showed up to promptly on the day of the job, and over a three day period, they got it all done (we had a residential job involving asphalt driveway and circular drive). It turned out very well, we love the new driveway, and they did a fantastic job.
