Parking Lot Services Maintenance

Did not offer the service I needed but responded promptly to emails.

Phil contacted me and told me he would be here at 2, I asked if he could be earlier. He was accommodating by coming at Noon. They did an excellent job of removal , leveling and compacting driveway then applied 2 applications of 1 1/2 in asphalt driveway drains well to the street and they did a great job of clean-up. Other than a great new driveway, you would have never known they were there

I wasn't home, but they did an excellent job of removal , leveling and compacting driveway then applied 2 applications of 1 1/2 in asphalt drive way drains well to the street and they did a great job of clean-up.

He came to the door to let me know that he was here. They were clean. They were conscientious. They didn't get that glass tire all over. They were late.

I received an estimate from Kaplan for sealcoating my driveway in August. I spoke to the gentlemen and expected to receive a call within a couple of days to setup service at my residence. After a week I called another company to come perform the service. Approximately a month later I received a voicemail message indicating Kaplan would be coming out to perform the sealcoating and that I should leave a check for the amount owed if I wasn't going to be home. I called, spoke to a gentlemen and explained the service had already been completed. About a month later I received another call with the same message from Kaplan. I didn't return that second call. On October 24th I received an invoice from Kaplan for Sealcoating. I immediately called and left a voicemail for the women in the accounting department. A couple of days went by and I called and left another message requesting a call back. In total I left three message over a week's time. No call back was received. On November 11th I received a voicemail to return a call for a past due invoice. I called and spoke to a woman and explained I never received the service. She said she would make a "note" of it.

Phil was very responsive to phone calls. He gave me a clear estimate and performed the work promptly. The quality of the work was very good. We were very pleased with the driveway. The price turned out to be more than I expected but this was due to some unexpected additional prep work required because it was new construction. However, based on my experience with the other subcontractors, Phil stood out as one that I did not have to worry about at all. They got the job done without any problems. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

They were very thorough on the estimate. They were a little higher than other estimates I received.

Price was fair ($2.50 per square foot), and they were able to do it promptly. However the job was not to my satisfaction. When I pay for a new driveway, I expected it to be flat and straight. There are multiple sunken areas (slight, but some hold rain water) and the edges were wavy (no way I could edge a straight line when grass grows in). Phil came out when I emailed my concerns. Phil was very nice and put to rest my concerns about the sunken spots being a foundational problem. He said my driveway was the first of the year and the crew was probably brushing off the rust.... ya. Phil said the most they could offer was 50% off a sealcoat due to their profit margins being so small, they couldn't afford to lose money on a job. I do not appreciate the company allowing their workers to "brush off the rust" on my dime. Their margins may be thin, but I don't have a money tree to hire another company to give me a flat and straight driveway.

I felt their quality was good. Their responsive was not as great. There were multiple people involved since it was a shared driveway. There were four or five people doing the work and it was completed in a span of 2 days. Overall, I was pleased with the work.

Our driveway is used quite a bit during the week, so scheduled a Saturday visit. On 7th they arrived mid afternoon, but there was a risk of rain, so they called it off (cannot rain for at least 12 hrs I think). We re-scheduled for the following Saturday. They showed up at 8AM, cleaned the driveway, coated with a few buckets of sealer and did a great job doing it fast & cleanly. Before leaving they stuck 2 posts, rope & sign to avoid people walking / driving on the fresh sealer. $190 cost. Great value, well done.

This is the third year I have used them. I am pleased with the job done each time time. They are extending the life of a very old driveway.

The experience with PLS start to finish was great; Working with Joe the salesman to the final product with Gary and his awesome crew. This crew worked so good together and had fun doing it. The final product, a new driveway, looks just great. Thanks PLS and I'll see you next year to sealcoat it! Dave

Went well, very quick. Came on Thursday morning and removed the old asphalt and hauled it away in a little over 2 hours. Came back on Monday and laid the new asphalt. The quote included bringing in new gravel for the base but no new gravel was brought in. We contacted Rose Farm Paving about no new gravel and we agreed to a credit that will be used when they apply the first sealcoat; they were very easy to deal with. I would recommend Rose Farm Paving to friends and neighbors.

The whole process went very well. The initial contact and estimate were pleasant. Once we decided to have Rose Farm Paving do the job we entered the scheduling phase. This was the only part of the job that I disliked. I am the type of person with little patients when I'm paying to have a job done. It took a couple of emails to get a date set but then everything went ahead pretty smoothly. There were delays but that was entirely due to unusual weather (lots of rain). All the workers from the company were friendly and polite while they were at my home working. The job was done well and looks amazing.

Phil completed the job as promised in a timely and professional manner. The driveway looks great. He was prompt keeping appointments, courteous, and helpful. We would certainly use his firm again if the need arises. We highly recommend Rose Farm Paving.

On Friday, May 17, the crew showed up and began the tear-out process. They were friendly but professional and in about 2.5 hours had the old driveway and apron fully removed. They then began preparing the sight for the new asphalt. Precautions were taken to protect the crew from the surrounding traffic. Since it was a school/work day, the traffic was heavy and steady. There were no delays or hold-ups that I could see. Many dump trucks came and went; some with debris from the driveway and some with new stone for the new driveway bed. On Monday, May 20, the crew arrived to begin laying the fresh asphalt to make my new driveway. The process took about 2 hours and ended with the ceremonial pounding-in of the 2 stakes and tying the twine dotted with caution tape streamers across the end of the driveway. The crew also planted one of their advertising signs upon completion of the job. The owner, Mr. Phil Cooper, Jr., came out to check the crew's work on Thursday, May 24, in a rain, and to be sure I was satisfied with the result. My wife and I could not have been more pleased. If you are in need of similar work, you only have one call to make. Call ROSE FARM PAVING to get the best.

All went very smoothly. Phil Cooper was very easy to work with as were the men who did the on-site work. The new paving looks good and sheds water nicely.

This is the second year I have used them. I am pleased with the job done both times. Last year I did not realize that they had asked to be unlisted from Angies list. I am glad I had not discovered that. I am very happy with the job they did last year and this year. They are the second company I have used at my new house and I am very happy with the job they have done. My thought was the driveway needed to be replaced when I moved in. They are extending the life of a very old driveway.

The driveway looked fine at first. But after a few months the cracks started to appear and the asphalt coat worn away after the subsequent snow season.

Our next door neighbor brought them in for an estimate on HER driveway and recommended them to us. (I looked them up at the Better Business Bureau website and they had an A or A+ rating.) Turns out, she didn't need her driveway replaced (they repaired it for her) but we knew ours needed complete replacement. We also wanted it widened a foot on each side. They came over, measured the area, discussed the project and sent a quote within a day or two. We sent them the signed quote and a deposit, and they arrived as arranged to dig up our old driveway and put in a new one (asphalt). They also threw in sealcoating it 60-90 days after the install. Lovely people to deal with, and a great job!

3 months later - the areas that were not yet dry from rain began to "peel" - like a bad paint job on the exterior of your house. The "bad and spider-cracked" areas on the" drive were still holding the sealcoat. I called Express and asked them to come by and check out the situation when I was home so I could hear and see directly what the issue was. They said that they would. I did not hear from them for two weeks. I called again and the owner said that he'd been out to the house and that I had "A bad driveway - that's why the flaking and peeling". I asked him to please come back and show me the areas that were peeling and flaking vs. the spider-cracked driveway. He said that he'd already been out once and that was enough. I asked him to please try and come back and help me rectify the situation. At this point he began to angry, short and testy with me. I had not even asked for a refund yet. At some point in the conversation when I was asking him to come back and fix the bad areas he hung up on me. I called him back and asked if he hung up on purpose - he said "Yes I did - there is nothing that I can do for you and you are wasting my time. We do not give refunds - we did the work - it's your driveway's fault that it is peeling". Wow - talk about poor attitude and service. They are at the high end price-wise in our area - and with service like this - who need's 'em.

They did a good job and I was satisfied with them. They seemed to know their work and they gave me a pretty good explanation of what they were going to do and why. They were on time. They seemed very professional. They did a fine job. Their pricing was reasonable.

As part of a remodeling project for our house, we detached and moved our garage to the back of our property. Kaplan was chosen as the subcontractor for the new asphalt driveway. Mike and his team did a wonderful job. He met with the general contractor and us (the homeowners) on site at least three times to go over questions and review the grade and shape of the driveway. He also spent alot of time on his own preparing the site. (Our garage is on a lower level from our house, and Mike wanted the slope of the driveway from the front of the house to the garage to be just right so that we would not have any drainage issues, etc... ) All of the extra effort paid off. Rain runs off as it should, but the driveway is still flat enough near the garage so that the kids can play basketball.

I called them about couple of weeks before the job was done. The owner, based on my address, sent my an estimate on a post card a week later. Based on the estimate and reviews on Angie's list decided to go with them. They scheduled to come out a week later. They came on time and did everything as expected.

They did an excellent job. They were very responsive, fairly priced and good at their jobs.
