they went above and beyond what was contractually required. im very happy.

They communicated with me and explained to me the process they use in order to finish the driveway. I know that some other review was upset because they seem to be in a big hurry but I knew it would be a few weeks before the driveway was done due to the process. They went out of their way to make the driveway look fantastic compared to what was there before. The price was much cheaper than you can find with other companies. I was totally satisfied. My dad had used them for his driveway and that is how I heard about them.

Project went well as described above.

We met with John Pond on July 24, 2012 for an estimate to remove and replace our existing blacktop driveway. In addition to enlarge our driveway by over 525 sq. ft. Mr. Pond was on time, professional, courteous, and explained the entire process - from depth of stone base to thickness of asphalt material. We were provided with a written estimate that was very reasonable. We had two other blacktop companies out for estimates, but Budget Blacktop is the one we'll choose in the Spring. We plan to have the work done in the Spring of 2013.

Owner gave me quote and was very prompt and courteous. We went over details, I showed him a problem area that always puddles up next to garage. Also asked if he would scoop out some sod at end of my culvert. Job was started about three weeks later. Old asphalt was dug out and removed, excess sod was also dug out at end of culvert. Road gravel was poured, leveled and compacted. Was told this gravel needed to stand to harden 2-6 weeks? Well 9 days later (?) they came to pave driveway, I again mentioned the problem spot and few hours later job completed and it looked awesome. Being a very dry summer it didn't rain for a good three weeks. Puddle was still there and now creeping into the garage. They did a lousy job of leveling this driveway and did not address my problem. The solution they provided was to heat up asphalt and pound a trench across driveway leading from low area to grass in front yard. Very noticeable and unattractive. This trench method used works only for light to medium rains. Hard heavy rains still creep into garage. I called company a while later to let them know and was told owner would call me back, never got that return call.

Poor follow up..

He did a good job. He was very quick. He did the estimate the same day. He gave me the best price.

They completely torn out our old asphalt driveway - a very long and winding drive with a good sized hill. They then laid down gravel base, compacted it and let it set for several weeks - we had scheduling requests, so actually let it set a couple months, which was fine. Gravel was perfectly level and easy to drive on. Whenever I had a question, or made a call and left a message, calls were promptly returned and all questions answered. Had multiple contact numbers, including their cells. Very professional and courteous. They asked repeatedly if everything was okay, and I was told to contact them again if anything was wrong or in question. Paid 1/3 when old drive was torn out and gravel base put in, and balance upon completion. I gave them an "A" for quality, but am also stating that this was only done a couple weeks ago, and hasn't stood the test of time or great usage as of yet. It looks beautiful right now, and am hoping it will remain that way. Tearing out and gravel was only one day. Paving was only one morning. Very quick and well-organized. Left a small pile of hot mix in trees that needs to be taken away, but am betting as soon as I call, it will be taken care of. If not....I will make an addendum to this review! We have a long, windy and hilly driveway. Price might sound high - but - all other quotes we got from area companies were about 25-30% higher, and all details of what they would do, including thickness of pave, etc., were equal. Highly recommend.

Company is difficult to nail down installation dates. Never called back twice by office staff including receptionist said she'd call back on expected day of tearoff- I had to make calls into office and a cellphone on two occasions where either receptionist or owner said they'd either call me back or never responded to voice mail. Set up a driveway date requiring change in our schedule including putting off a camping trip and crew never showed up. Called and office staff (new worker) said it appeared our date was now 2-3 weeks later. Said she'd call right back with updated info. No call back and I had to call again 3-hrs later myself. Company said there was no way they would have been able to give me a firm date only two weeks away so it was my word against theirs. Bottom line is that I believe firmly that the office worker just messed up....new on the job perhaps and didn't have the facts right. Really frustrating for ourselves though and schedules are important. I believe this company produces good driveways. Owner came to my home on original meeting on-time. Still, if you don't respond to voicemail or messages (or in one case- when I called and the office couldn't even find my quote/name/tear-up date at first, you flunk in my book and we moved on to another company. They "were" low quote by the way.

Overall my experience with them was pretty good. They were flexible and okay. One of the drivers actually scratched my roof. He was kind of careless. The driveway itself was fine.

I was referred by a tree cutting service to Budget Blacktop. They were very nice to work with and did a great job. I expected it would have cost more as we have a long driveway.

I did that above, mostly. Budget was referred to me by a sealing company. I called, the owner came and gave me an estimate. We scheduled the work and it was done on time and at the agreed upon price. All mess was cleaned up. All workers were very friendly and when I asked on "care" instructions I was given a time table for care. This company has been in business for a long time and that experience showed.

It went well but keep in-mind that this is a long process as it took about 5-6 weeks from start to finish. The weather was a major factor in the delay. The company put down new gravel and rolled and then the driveway sat for about 4-5 weeks where they did a final prep. The final prep includes more gravel and rolling before the driveway is completed. This is to ensure you don't get this sink holes and cracking. It's worth the wait if this comes true. I have seen many other driveways in the area done by Budget and they all look very good. The owner and son were very nice and kept me in the loop on the progress as my wife kept asking me when is this going to be done? Well, since the driveway is now complete she understands the wait was worth it.

It went very well. I was referred to this company by a seal coat company that I had contacted to do repair work and seal coating. It was determined that the repairs would be extensive and probably be repeating in the future. I called Budget Blacktop and the owner was out the next day. I got an on the spot estimate of the cost. Shortly thereafter they return to do the removal of the old drive and lay down the new subsurface. Then when it was the right time they returned with a 5 man crew to efficiently lay down the new asphalt. They answered all of my questions and responded to all of my requests. The owner of the company did not ask for any money up front - I paid him when the job was completed to my satisfaction. It was a very good experience. All the workers were very knowledgeable regarding their particular job. NOTE THE ABOVE COMMENTS. THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN CHANGED
