Get matched with top asphalt driveway pros in Hawthorne, FL

"The owner Paul came to our house, promised us a great job and no matter what even if the work was not right he would make it right. The first day his crew showed up around 11 am. Soon after we realized we possibly made a mistake by seeing his broken down equipment which was the main truck to put down the asphalt which had to be towed with the skid steer because it did not run And appeared to have Out of date Arkansas plates on it. The guys on the job worked until midnight and the owner Paul did not provide any food or drink for his people in the scorching Florida heat. We fed and provided the drinks. Paul and his wife showed up at midnight to receive their payment not giving us a chance to really see the driveway in the light. The next day we realized the issues. There was a large hump near the garage, and at the end by the road plus parts were not at 8 ft. Edges were very thin and Also they were supposed to trim the edges and clean up the asphalt that was left over. It was a mess. It is very bumpy. We called the owner Paul and he said he could not reach any of his people and that the asphalt factories were closed so he could not send anyone to fix our driveway. We agreed to wait. Approximately 2 weeks later a crew with homeless people that are not skilled workers showed up around noon without the proper equipment and William the homeowner had to use his tractor to break up the asphalt to get ready for the new asphalt. The new asphalt sat in the truck for about 6 hours because the proper equipment was not here for them to do the work. Apparently when the equipment was on the way the truck towing it had broke down. Once again they worked into the night about 2am and a patch of asphalt is not setting up properly and is lower than the original. So we have a new driveway less than a month old with patches. After contacting the owner about our displeasure he accepts no responsibilities for his business and hasn’t even been over to evaluate the situation himself. I gave the company a chance to fix. I don’t believe it can be fixed 100% due to the fact that Paul does not have enough skilled workers or the equipment to get it done. I now have to find someone else to help me get it fixed properly."

"Coat of Armor team was amazing from start to finish! Will be using them on another property in the future"

"Great service and will be hiring them again to perform additional modifications to my landscaping."

"If you are looking to get driveway repaved, do not call All About Asphalt. We had our driveway repaved over 2 weeks ago. I've given Heath 3 weeks to fix his mistakes and heard nothing. No followup after the work was done. Surface is bumpy. Feels like a cheap carnival ride when driving over it. Many high and low areas. Edges are not feathered to existing walks and garage. One inch step at a concrete pad in the back. No cleanup done, chunks of asphalt in grass. Roller marks in a few places. Edges not straight at lawn. Grass growing through areas where paving is uneven. Pooling water when it rains or irrigation runs. This morning I found an eight inch bar embedded in the asphalt where it could have flattened a tire. Heath and Andy were training 2 newbies and the workmanship shows it. Asphalt was cold and they did not heat it to roll it out."

"Super nice guy, very congenial, very friendly - can't overstate what a pleasant guy he is, talks a great game - but the results were horrible. Brush marks (which I was assured over and over again would disappear - "you won't even see 'em") are clearly visible everywhere and can be seen in the attached photo. The sealcoat product used was either too diluted, or pulled too hard, or improperly applied, or didn't have the correct additives because it didn't even fill the tiniest of spider cracks. How can a properly mixed and applied sealer with the correct solids NOT seal even the smallest of cracks? Literally this seal coat didn't hide anything ! NOT A SINGLE IMPERFECTION WAS HIDDEN. Hard to believe. Provider claims that he advised me that "hairline cracks get filled with sealer they do not disappear". This statement in itself doesn't make any sense. The sealer is going to fill cracks but not bridge any of them? Not a single one? Not even cracks that are less than 0.3mm wide - which is the thickness of the product when applied? Actually, provider avoided answering specific questions about results and repeated fluffy generalities. I missed that giant red flag. I couldn't imagine a worse result for my $2200. As soon as it gets a little dirty - the driveway actually looks worse now than it did before. To provider's credit, he came out to review my concerns but wanted more money to fix something that should have been done correctly in the first place. Struck me as a kind of a stunt to do an unsatisfactory job and then attempt to get more money to fix it! In fact, a few hours after the job was done, I was sent an invoice and asked if I would like to go ahead with a second coat? That, to me, indicates provider immediately knew the job was unsatisfactory since I had made it clear to him up front, that from all of my research and talking with other highly rated seal coaters that a second coat was a SCAM. For the condition of my driveway - 1 properly applied coat should have been sufficient. I initially chose provider because he was willing to work with me for an entire day on crack repair - but in the end I did all the crack repair myself using thousands of feet of melt in product. By the time I was ready for the job - the provider had taken a full time job and could only do our job on a weekend. More red flags. Should have gone with someone else that does this work full time NOT part time. Well known home repair expert Bob Vila says this about asphalt based sealers - "... they are designed to fill cracks and provide a smooth, hard surface" - which is contradictory to the provider's comments below. And as a final indication of the unsatisfactory quality of this job - I measured how THIN the coating actually is. It is about 0.3mm thin or less than 12mils which is about the thickness of an epoxy paint you might put on your garage floor. I could have used one of the fly-by-night gypsy seal coaters selling watered down black paint and gotten equivalent results. I consider this a complete waste of $2200 and I will probably have to call someone else out to see if this mess can be fixed."
