It went terrible. They did not show up the day scheduled and I had to email to find out what was going on, the next day they showed up and did a terrible job. There was and still is tar all over the grass. There was tar on the sidewalk and pave stone. Chunks of tar on the driveway and they didnt even finish the apron part of the driveway and didnt not contact me about it. I again and to email them to fix and finish the driveway seal. The job resulted in them having to use a water pressure for over an hour which highly increased my water bill and got tar on my flowers.. The entire drive way seal was completed over the coarse of a week when the day of service should of been a matter of an hour. We will NEVER use this company again.

Very easy to work with, I called & was told someone would get back to me the next day which happened promptly in the morning. I was given an estimate which was $30 less than another local company had given me, & I scheduled the sealcoating for 3 days later - 3 workers arrived that morning, they did a good job, final price was the same as the quote. Very pleased & will use Swenson Sealcoat again.

When I contacted Swenson to have the work done on my driveway the person asked me if I wanted to have cracks filled which would cost an additional $18. I said they should do it if the driveway needed it. After the job was finished I noticed there are several cracks at the bottom and top of the driveway that were not filled. They did not charge me but it seems like they should have been filled. So somewhat disappointed.

It went very well. I called, they got me on the schedule, a week later they came when they said they would, they did the job quickly, and I paid online. I'm not sure it could have been easier. And my driveway hasn't been sealed in over 12 years, and it looks fabulous. I would recommend them again to anyone.

I do not like giving people that work hard a bad grade. When they do show up they do a great job. But customer service is lacking. Seems like they need more help or someone to simply answer the phone for them.
Description of Work: The job was supposed to be performed on 10/14/11. Never showed up and never called or anything. I understand things happen but most people own a cell phone. The worst thing you can do is not return phone phone calls in a timely manner or keep the customer up to date as to what is going on. You should not leave people hanging. Had to call 2 or 3 times and he finally called back after I had someone else do the job.

It was a little hard to get ahold of Swensons, but it was well worth the wait. I had been having trouble finding anyone who would come out to Beach Park and sealcoat my driveway, but was able to reach Swenson in Wauconda. It is about 45 min drive from Wauconda to beach park and another 45 back, but Swenson agreed to come out and perform the sevice for $100. I told him that I would gladly pay him another $50 dollars to make the trip for travel time (as I said really hard time finding anyone). I told him that I would have the money waiting for him at the house. He came out the next day and performed the work, but my wife must not have heared the door bell. He completed the work and simply left the bill in my mail box. He did a great job, my driveway looks like new, and I hope to uses Swenson in the future.

They were the ones who honestly did do the job. They squeezed me in the same day that I called them. They were great with respect to responsiveness. However, they got a little sloppy on the edges so I called them on it and they did come out to repair it, but it took them a while. It took them about 2 and half weeks to come back. They did do it though. Their price was very good. Their responsiveness was a bit of a challenge. I would use them again in the future if need be.

I received their information through an estimate they place in our mailbox. We had planned to do the job ourselves but the price was so reasonable we decided to use Swenson Sealcoat. I contacted Scott via email. His replies were brief and sometimes did not answer my questions. I felt I had to ask several times in different ways to get an answer. Nonetheless, we had the work performed. He was unable to provide an exact time until the night before (even then it was a range). We weren't there when the work was performed. He left a bill and the work was well performed.

They called me back within 10 minutes of me leaving a message and were in the area and sent over a crew within the hour to give me a quote. The price was very reasonable given how long our driveway is, so they were able to perform the work on the spot. We were very concerned about not having any drips onto the white concrete border and they did a fantastic job. They were unbelievably quick, clean and courteous. I would definitely recommend use them again.
Description of Work: Seal coated our very long driveway, which features a concrete border all along both sides.

I inquired about their company seal coating my driveway and they asked if tomorrow would be OK. The next day 2 guys came out gave me a price on the spot and I told them to go ahead. They then proceeded to clean the driveway and apply the tar based seal coat. It looks like they did an excellent job and they were very pleasant to talk to. I will use them again next year.

I received a flyer in my mailbox from Swenson Sealcoating, with an estimate of $62 for my driveway. I sent an e-mail, requesting that services be perfomed. Scott called me immediately, and we scheduled a date for service that was convenient for me, and he gave me a four-hour window of time in which to expect the service men to arrive. He also asked me questions, to make sure he was aware of all the work I would need to have completed. They arrived exactly as scheduled, and rang my doorbell to ensure all cars were moved out of the garage. The work was performed on time, on budget, and exactly as scheduled. They were professional, and very competitively priced. I will definitely use Swenson again.

They had a problem with setting a date to start the work. They were supposed to come out on Sunday, but called and said that they would be out on either Monday or Tuesday. They ended up coming out on Wednesday to seal the driveway. Overall the job was done correctly.

I called them and told them that I would like an estimate for the two driveways. They called back the following week and gave us an estimate over the phone based on what we told them. They told my husband that they would have to charge us more because of the higher price of gas and how far we were away from them. They came as scheduled and charged about $20 more than they quoted on the estimate. The driveways look nice and they did keep it very clean. It was a bit more expensive than I expected, but I would probably use them again because they came when they said they would and didn't make a mess.
Description of Work: Seal-coated two driveways, ours and my parents'. Ours is fairly standard while my parents' is twice the length of an average driveway.

Very good quality. Professional on the phone and in person. Prompt, come when they say they will. Competitive quotes. Good quality job. No mess when done. I've been using them for 14 years and although there are many out there, including many flyers put on the door or mailbox that might be $5 or $10 cheaper, these guys have proven to me there is no reason to switch.
