My driveway needed repaving - there were lots of cracks and broken areas. We also wanted to add to the existing parking area where there were rocks and grass. According to the estimate, this would be a total of about 2300 sq. ft. The work would involve removing old pavement near the garage, two walkway areas and the joint near the street. It also involved removing the rocks and grass and dirt in the new area to be paved, which was hauled away. That new area was then layered with crushed stone, and power rolled. Then a layer of asphalt was applied and rolled to bring it up to the level of the old driveway. Other deteriorating areas were cut out and filled with new asphalt to bring them up to the old driveway's level. Once all the repairs were done, the whole thing got a fresh layer of asphalt, rolled and edges were neatly made at a 45 degree angle. They checked to make sure water would not flow into the garage but away towards the parking area. It was a perfect job with attention to every detail. Mike Stanley prides himself on customer satisfaction. He was present and working the entire day. He made sure that everything was done correctly. I could not be happier! One other note of interest: I had gotten another estimate for the same job from a different paving company and Jim Stanley Asphalt was about half of the other estimate. That saved me $4600. I assure you that they did not cut any corners in the quality of the work or materials provided. I highly recommend this company and so if you need paving, do your "do diligence" and get an estimate from Jim Stanley Asphalt!
Description of Work: repaved the driveway and created an additional parking area where there were rocks and dirt.

No work was done as Jim Stanley refused to consider the project.
Description of Work: I contacted Jim Stanley asking for a quote to sealcoat my 6000 sq. ft. driveway in Potomac, MD. I received a response several days later from "Mike" in which he said he would not provide a quote for my project. No explanation was given - just leaves the customer high and dry. I wouldn't think a company like this would be on Angie's list.

Within one workday they had completely dug up the old driveway and repaved with new asphalt. I wouldn't think it would be possible to get excited about the quality of an asphalt driveway, but Jim and his crew did an outstanding job. He took special care to be sure the grade of the driveway would push water away from the house. Looks great!

The driveway looks amazing! It is level and crack-free.
Description of Work: We had our entire (long) driveway rebuilt. The driveway was sinking at the garage and had large cracks throughout. Jim Stanley Asphalt filled in the space under the house where it was exposed due to the sinking and built up the driveway to meet the garage at an even level. They also removed the existing asphalt to lay a new base and built up the entire driveway with new asphalt.

Jim Stanley provided the quality of service we have come to expect from Angie's list "A" rated providers. We had previously contacted other paving companies who performed a drive-by estimate of the work to be performed. Jim made an appointment to visit with us, explain the work, answer our questions and provide us with a detailed estimate for the work. Based on his professionalism and reasonable cost, we gave him a deposit on-the-spot. The work went as well as the estimating service. His crew and all of his equipment arrived within minutes of the scheduled start-time. The work was excellent, and completely met our expectations. Jim was there for the entire job, and in addition to supervising the crew to ensure everything was done properly (including cleanup), he answered any questions we had as he proceeded. We told him that we will be happy to provide references for him at any time. He emphasized that we should call him immediately if there are any problems recognizing that the quality of his past work is the best reference for the future. We highly recommend this company.

We couldn't be more pleased. Our homeowner insurance company told us that we had to fix the driveway by the end of the month or else our policy would be cancelled! They were concerned with the cracks and crumbling nature of the old concrete driveway. I guess they were worried that someone might trip - and sue. We got lots of bids - some ranging close to $9,000. Mike Stanley rearranged his schedule in order to fit us in - during the first week this spring when it was warm enough to lay asphalt. The quality of the work was excellent. There were no asphalt stains on the concrete apron, for example. All of the edging was neatly done. There was no clean up work on our part that was required. Mike frequently called us during the week to inform us of possible schedule changes due to weather.

No worked was performed since they wouldn't service NE Washington DC.
Description of Work: Website and Angie's List indicates they serve Washington DC but when I called and sent in a request online I received an email back from Mike stating "We don't service your area", I responded and asked why they publish that they do if they really don't? I never got a response, it's too bad as it sounds like they do nice work but wish they were advertise correctly......

Mike Stanley came to my house, listened to what I wanted, explained how he would approach the job, and within 45 minutes of arrival had printed a written proposal for me to review. Having received another quote a few months before and having done some reading since I felt I knew enough to know that the Stanley quote was very reasonable. More importantly, I was impressed by the clarity of Mikes explanations of how he'd handle a number of specific issues. For instance, the new work had to butt against a new, 30' long brick sidewalk, and Mike emphasized the care they would take to ensure the asphalt would meet the sidewalk height exactly, but that no asphalt would be allowed to stain or get on the brick (the workers took their shoes off when they had to get onto the sidewalk to work the edge.) I was also swayed by the fact that Mike (son of founder Jim) would be on site to supervise the job from start to finish. Mike Stanley was the first of 5 contractors that I called from Angies list - all on the same day - to return my call. He arrived on time at my house the next day to provide a proposal, and he and his crew arrived on time the day of the job......and finished the job very quickly. Mike was extremely professional throughout, his communications were clear, and his price was reasonable. Jim Stanley Asphalt will be my asphalt contractor of choice moving forward.....

I dealt with the son of the owner: Mike. He was there two days after my call. I had tight requirements, since my driveway is almost level, and I was doing the repaving to fix numerous subtle, but important problems. Mike was completely with me on this. He had a laser level in his pocket, and spent over a half hour with me measuring every which way, discussing how we could ?get it done?. I was so confident in his understanding, ability, and interest that I signed his proposal on the spot. The heavy equipment and 5-man crew arrived right on schedule about 2 weeks later, personally directed by Mike. During the job, we conferred on every little detail, and adjusted as required. They completed the job in a few hours, perfectly. They are coming back in the spring to seal my new driveway.

They arrived on time and used jackhammers to take out the cracked, sunk areas of the old driveway and then professionally laid new asphalt and the finished product was beautiful, merging smoothly with our stone walkway and the garage floor. We are very happy with the result. Stanley had done the driveway at our previous home and I would recommend them without any reservations. After doing the work I asked about sealing the driveway and Mike Stanley said that he would come out the following year in the fall to inspect the driveway and let us know whether it would need sealing or not. The work was also warranted for a year. The team was professional, on time and cleaned up after the work was done.

Mike Stanley came out to my house as scheduled listened to what my wife and I wanted to have done, he gave us his suggestions and gave us a firm quote right then and there. Mike said he would also help us with all the county paperwork required when you do a double wide driveway and that was a load off my mind. We accepted his proposal and he and his crew showed up on time and ready to go on 9/4/14. He and his crew first dug up and set aside my wife's plants at the end of the driveway because we were replacing the drainage pipe. Maurice, the crew leader, then also dug up and replace my drainage pipe for my sump pump, all I had to do was buy the pipe and fittings, what a relief! The crew then set about tearing up most of my old driveway and removed a lot of roots under and around my driveway from a neighbors old downed tree. I was there all day and watched as they did all the things we asked them to do and all they said was that they wanted us happy with our new driveway. I had to go to work the next day but they said they would have it done by the time I got home. They were right, Mike went over the whole job with me to once again ensure we were happy with the job and to let us know he and his crew stood behind their work. The new driveway is awesome, it's just what we wanted and we can't wait to put it to full use and for my son to finally have a bigger driveway basketball court. Thanks Mike to you and your hard working crew.

The website reads that they serve Washington, D.C. I left an unanswered phone message. Finally, I wrote to them on Angie's List. They did reply and after some back and forth, they said they don't do driveway asphalt replacement in my area. I live in northwest D.C. Their website says they do service D.C. No reason was given. I assume they cannot service D.C.

The work was excellent. There was exceptional attention to detail, completing all specifications as requested. Mike was on the job the entire time, supervising the work of his crew. They provided great recommendations about managing an old tree stump and root system and removed additional roots that were not fully ground out by another contractor. I would highly recommend Stanley and I would definitely use them again. I am adding this paragraph now, nearly two months after the original installation - just a great job. Many neighbors have commented on the high quality of the work. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Provider provided a fair and competitive estimate. Mike Stanley was the most professional contractor of five with whom I spoke. He was prompt, courteous, professional and completed all work in accordance to specifications. Stanley Asphalt repaved our existing driveway and added a new parking pad, as well as a drainage pipe from existing gutter downspout.

The professionals with Jim Stanley Asphalt were very responsive in terms of getting an estimate, and then arranging a date for the project to take place. This was also a touchy issue as weather (rain) conditions determine if it can be done, and notice was important with 7 other condominum residents who would have to vacate the lot. The contractor was very quick to arrange a second date after rain prevented our original date from working. They were also careful to seal the exact lot area and had no spillage or staining of the brick alley or brick building. I also found the price to be highly competitive and a good bargain for the dependable service. Finally, I was pleased they provided an assessment of their work and what they found, as well as advice when a preventative re-coating should take place. I highly recommend Jim Stanley Asphalt.
Description of Work: The company provided a seal coal and re-striping of an 8-space, urban, condominum parking lot. This entailed cleaning off the lot, removing of weeds, and making sure the re-lining of spaces was done accurately and nearly.

I have a 300 sq.ft. driveway which was sinking in spots and cracking. Stanley Asphalt came out and milled down the sunken and cracked areas and filled them with an asphalt base. They then applied a topping to the whole driveway. They were on time for the appontment to provide an estimate and arriving for the work on the scheduled day. The work was completed in a professional manor and with high quality. They explained what they found and what they would do to fix the issues. In all they were on site for about 2 hours and left it very clean.

Jim Stanley came over on April 16 to provide an estimate. Since I was selling my home, I was worried that my cracked driveway might unfavorably impress potential buyers. Jim was a straight shooter. He told me that we would not be able to repair and patch the driveway ourselves. He measured the driveway and returned within 15 minutes with a typed out estimate of his proposal. It very clearly explained what he would do. I was most impressed that Jim beat out the other estimators by contracting to lay a 3-inch commercial grade base. I called Jim the next day and told him that he was $100 over the other bidder's price (who is also a provider on Angie's List). I also told him that I needed the job completed on Monday, April 16, which was the first warm enough (and non-rainy) day on which the work could be performed. Jim was able to guarantee the job would be completed at $4,100 on April 21. He arrived at 8:45 am on Monday with his full team. I had to leave for work so he explained that all work would be completed by 4 pm and that Jim Stanley Asphalt provide a one year warranty. I give his company an A++++. My new driveway looks beautiful and I have received so many compliments. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants a perfect-looking new driveway. Thank you Jim.

Contractor gave us a complete description of the work to be done. He was punctual, did the work as promised and cleaned up completely. The estimator was on site for the entire repair and answered our questions about the work as it was being done. Driveway is in great shape after the hard winter and we plan to contract with them in the summer to seal the driveway. This is for Angie's list. We submitted an earlier review but were asked again for a review for the same work. Please replace the original with this review if you have the original.

I called the company and had to leave a message that I was interested in getting an estimate. Mike Stanley called the next day and confirmed that he would visit by the end of the week. Mike came by while I was out and he did a very professional proposal with two options. The proposal was left in my mailbox with his contact information. After I decided to use Stanley Asphalt ( they were not the least expensive), I called Mike and he came by to walk the job with me explaining exactly what would be done and I signed the proposal. The team arrived on time on the agreed day and Mike was there the entire time to assure that the job was done correctly.

This firm was not the lowest bidder but I felt more comfortable with what I read about them and interaction with the owner's son. Plus, they were one of the few that called me back. Stanley fixed all of the faulty areas on the driveway and leveled it nicely to the walkway, garage, house etc. I was very happy to see a clean, smooth driveway. Something that I have not had for a very long time. In a nutshell, they did the following: - removed about a foot or so around areas that border concrete and walkway; replaced with a base - added a layer of new asphalt - level out manually and rolled with machine - removed debris and cleaned up jobsite Overall, very pleased with the end result.

Jim did an excellent job on our driveway. He repaired the damaged areas and repaved it. It was not an easy job because our driveway is up a hill and somewhat uneven in sections. He was fast, neat and very professional in completing the job. The only issue we had was a couple of false starts, due to supplier unavailability and then weather. I would use him again and have recommended him to others.
