We talked on multiple occasions to plan the driveway resurfacing and expansion. I can get heavily into the weeds and I appreciate S&M walking a novice through the process. Ultimately, everything went as planned. The job was completed 32 days ago so we'll see how it holds up, but as of now, all is grand!

The owner came promptly, was very professional and helpful. He stated his price, and returned in two days to do the job (rain prevented them from doing it the next day). They removed broken pieces and old asphalt that was on top of part of the original driveway, and then laid the new asphalt. They also put in a sidewalk to the driveway. The workers were friendly, professional and did a very good job. Two other neighbors saw their work and also had their driveways re-blacktopped. I would definitely recommend them and have them back again, great people, great work.

S & M arrived on time on the scheduled date. They did our driveway, as well as a neighbors at the same time. They were very professional and cleaned up extremely well. We will certainly use them again.
Description of Work: S & M dug out, repaired and leveled our driveway. They put down and new base and put new asphalt over the whole thing. It is so much better! We had holes and cracks from settlement, as well as a large dip upon entering the garage. S & M fixed everything. It is nice and smooth and they made sure that water drains in the correct direction. They did an excellent job.

I would absolutely not recommend them. They graded my driveway wrong, so that all the water ran off onto my neighbor's property, like Niagara Falls. It was something we had pre-discussed and I had given them very explicit instructions about where the water was to run off, and they missed it by about 80 feet. To fix it, I have to have a berm made -- they had to make a little pile of asphalt along the edge of my driveway, to redirect the water. It's not very attractive. I'm not happy with them at all.

I have to report a terrible experience with S&M Paving in Elkton, Maryland. I've never rated a company negatively online before. S&M Paving deserves to be my first. In a recent job, S&M demonstrated totally unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. As a long standing customer of theirs, I was very disappointed. Not only did they not do the work as they had promised, but they also completely blew me off as a customer, with no regard to having not completed the work or for the inconveniences to me and my family. Although, we had been completely courteous and respectful to them through this issue, their last words and actions (or lack of it) to us were disrespectful, arrogant, and uncaring. To summarize the situation, I scheduled to have my driveway sealed as well as to have some minor repairs made. An S&M inspector came out a few weeks prior to do a write up of the work and to do the estimate. He wrote out the order specifying all the work needed. The workers came out as scheduled. After the work was done, I found that most of the repair work, i.e. those that were specifically identified in the inspector?s work order, weren't done. I called the office the next day and explained the problem. No apology was made, but they agreed and scheduled a specific time for them to return. Without notice, the worker came back out ahead of the scheduled date. We weren?t present for the work, and unfortunately, the workers repaired only a single area, leaving unfinished repairs, and didn?t do any sealing over the repaired area which they did do. I called back to their office the next day and explained the situation. They again made no apology or express any concern for the inconveniences. In fact, they proceeded to try to run me off. Their only response to me was that I was expecting too much from them for the job. They then told me to just keep my money. I was shocked and appalled. I reminded them that the original work order and estimate was made by their inspector. The work order clearly explained what was needed. At no time had I asked for more than what had been written up by their inspector. Their workers simply didn?t follow and finish the original job order. As a follow-up, I wrote a email note to the owner, explaining the situation and that I would have no recourse but to submit a negative review online. Surprisingly, I receive a call back from the owner almost immediately. We discussed the issue. The owner then suggested that he come out to do a personal inspection of the work. I agreed, and it was scheduled. The owner said that he would look over the work and get back to me on what he feels that they can do. That scheduled visit has now come and gone. There was no visit and inspection made by the owner and since then, no return contact by the owner to us. In addition, since that time, the partial repair work that the workers had come to do, i.e. the patched area which they neglected to seal, has started to break up at the surface. That area will now have to be re-repaired. I did send a note with pictures to the owner informing him of this. That was two weeks ago. I have not heard anything back from him or anyone at S&M. I admit that I am completely shocked at the lack of customer courtesy and arrogance that S&M has displayed. This whole situation was unprofessional and disrespectful. There was a clear lack of interest in quality and customer service. And based on all of this, it is clear that S&M and their staff have very little regard for residential customers. They have shown no remorse for the lapses by their workers or for the inconveniences to me and my family or for not completed the job. It is apparent that their only concern is for the inconveniences that they felt were on them. I will have to now contact another paving company to fix the mess that they left and to complete the job that they didn?t do. S&M Paving has proved to be totally unprofessional and should be embarrassed and ashamed of their actions and behavior. Their website advertises this. ?Voted Favorite Cecil County, Maryland Paving Contractor for 7 years in a row, we take pride in ensuring that each homeowner paving job is completed with 100% satisfaction in mind!? Apparently to S&M, ?customer satisfaction? is achieved by walking away from the job and telling the customer to ?just keep your money?. For S&M, ?customer satisfaction? is something that could simply be bought off. Apparently, they don?t understand that it is really about trust, quality, service, and doing the job right. For myself and many friends in our community, ?customer satisfaction? is not about the money. S&M fails miserably in all aspects of service and job quality. Stay away from S&M, particularly if you are 'merely' a residential customer.

Contacted on Monday and Sam came out within hours and gave me an estimate that was about $1000 below other estimates. Very professional and knowledgeable. Came out the same week and completed the job. The job looks great and Sam who is the owner personally stopped by during the job to see if we were satisfied. Overall I would give them an A+

I contacted the contractor by phone. I explained that I wanted to take advantaged of the Angie's List Big deal that provided a driveway seal coating of up to 2,500 square feet for $338.00. I also explained that there was additional work that the driveway needed that was above and beyond the "Big Deal'. S & M sent a representative out and we discussed the particulars of the job. The 'rep' wrote up an estimate that included the "Big Deal' work as well as the additional I wanted done. I actually showed the 'rep' the 'Big Deal' that was on the Angie's List website before he wrote-up a contract. I read the contract before signing and I agreed to the terms. The contract outlined: the work to be performed; the amount to be paid for the total job ($520.00); an approximate start date; and described how the work would be done. I gave the contractor 'rep' a check in the amount of $520.00. As instructed, I made the check payable to the owner of S & W Paving and not to the company. I wanted the work to be complete while I was on vacation. That way I was sure no one would have to drive on the driveway while it was still 'wet'. S & M initially scheduled the job for Saturday, May 3rd, but didn't do the work until Monday, May 5. We got back home on May 14th. My first impression of the completed driveway was one of disappointment. I had envisioned something else entirely different with a 'double' seal coating. I called the contractor and someone explained to me what a 'seal coating' actually is. I feel I received a much smaller measure of value for what was done. Had I known before hand what the result would have been, I would not have had the work done. I would have chalked this up as one of those 'live and learn' experiences, but for what has happened since. When I tried to purchase this deal on the Angie's List website I was not certain that I had actually been able to do so. I didn't receive a confirmation that I had done so. In fact, I wasn't aware of this until I received correspondence from our credit card provider sometime in May. Fraudulent activity had occurred on our account, and the provider was issuing us new cards with a new account number. The correspondence also included a list of purchases made on the old account. A charge for Angie's List in the amount of $338.00 was one of the items listed. In my several conversations with Angie's List employees I have learned that S & M Paving was also paid by Angie's List for the "Big Deal". So, the contractor was in fact paid twice for the "Big Deal'. I contacted S & M paving in late May regarding this, and I was told by Peggy that they would be sending me a refund of $338.00. To date, I have received nothing.
Description of Work: S & M Paving patched several small areas and then applied a double seal coating of the driveway.

They were on time, professional and completed the work as requested. They explained how long to let it settle and gave us a little booklet of FAQ's and to call them with any problems.
Description of Work: Repaved 3400+ sq foot driveway and parking area, fixed cracks, dips, etc. added a couple feet on as requested. You can tell where the machine needed refills along the way and had to wait, but the finish is even and they tried to pack it up a little higher at the garage entrance to reduce water going into the garage when it rains. They used the hose and sprayed water to show us how the water would flow.

The owner came out and measured, provided the quote. He was very professional and personable and the quote was competitive. The job performed was less than stellar in my opinion. It is as if the team rushed the job, cutting corners along the way. I signed up to a day which was convenient to the team since they had jobs in the area, while also saving me money since they had the equipment out already. I feel as if because my driveway was another job on their daily list, it was not given much attention to detail. The rollers which cover up cracks with a thicker rubber/asphalt were used in a manner which left piles of goop throughout the driveway. And instead of turning the roller off between cracks, the workers rolled from one crack to the next, covering areas without cracks, but leaving a thicker line of asphalt which is noticeable. It just looks like an amateur job. I had their team come back (at my expense) to fill a crack along the garage door, turns out they were not part of the original crew, but they agreed the job was sloppy. The product used to fill the crack along the garage door was not effective and the crack remains.
Description of Work: Coated the driveway with an asphalt sealer while also repairing two areas which needed new asphalt to be poured.

Our driveway is not a simple flat straight drive. It is L shaped with a slope at the garage to to flat area as you go to the street. Owner's son in law was very responsive to our needs. Suggested improvements over what we had planned. Gave us an estimate and we signed the contract on the spot. Price and customer service was much better than other contractors and estimates. S&M was able to schedule the job within a week, was on the job promptly, finished that day. Workers were courteous, hard working and did a great job. Four days later, S&M came back and applied a hardener to the new asphalt. Was not aware of such a practice, but results were great. Would recommend S&M for the quality of work.
Description of Work: Repaired four places in the driveway that had crumbles over the years. Added 2 1/2 inches of asphalt over the entire driveway. Added hardener 4 days later .

Went great, looks great, the whole team was great. They went above and beyond clearing out the bushes, weeds, and I think even a tree beside the house to add an additional pad that I wanted for trash cans and motorcycle. Although accidentally broke a drain pipe that was discovered in the middle of the driveway while trying to level around it, tried to avoid it, but......stuff happens.

So far everything is fine. It has rained twice since the job and the driveway, including the hill portion is in excellent condition.
Description of Work: Re-grading and compacting of my 800 foot stone driveway. Resurfacing of about 300 feet of hill which had severely eroded from numerous rainfalls over the past several years. We regrade that section every 2 years or so because of the steepness of the hill. We used millings as the final surface on the hill.
