Jimmy and his employees were professional, hardworking, and did exemplary work. They showed up on time, very communicative, detailed, and made sure to do everything the way we wanted it done. Ace Asphalt not only met but exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ace Asphalt.

I had my very long driveway and i have to say that even thought I doubted that they would come back to complete the job to my initial understanding of the project the final result is that I am very very pleased with the outcome. We had initial miscommunications of the scope of the work but they made it right in the end. Very pleased with my driveway now.

ACE ASPHALT DID A GREAT JOB IN DESIGNING, PAVING AND FINISHING MY DRIVEWAY. MACHINERY, MEN WORKING AND TIMING OF THE JOB GET AN "A" RATING FROM ME. KIND, RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR FOR ME WAS NOTED AS SUPERIOR. ALL REQUESTS WERE ADDRESSED BY JIM. DRAINAGE, ROOTED AREAS, HILL ISSUES AND UNIQUE SITUATIONS WERE ALL CONSIDERED AND CREATIVELY HANDLED. THIS IS A "CUSTOMER" BASED BUSINESS. I LIKED THAT.

I contacted Ace Asphalt after seeing them on Angie's List, and then left my number and asked for someone to contact me so that I could get a Quote. Then I received a phone call at 7am in the morning, and the person said that he would be at my home in 45 minutes. I then explained to him I was preparing to go into work, and that I would need to setup an appointment after work later that same day, or on another day at a time of his convenience. Then I received a message from Ace Asphalt saying they don't service in my area, even though their Web-page says the complete opposite and that they do.

Response from Ace Asphalt
Mr. [Member Name Removed], sorry for the misunderstanding. Our web page however does not state Zebulon it ssys surrounding areas of towns that we do service. We are sorry that we cannot service Zebulon due to the fact that we have no vendors in the area to purchase materials needed. Our estimator did contact you then later was informed by the office that we do not service that area that is why we followed up with an email to let you know. Again sorry we couldn't assist you farther.

I have nothing but good things to say about this business and contractor. Extremely knowledgeable, more than fair in price and practice and exceptional craftsmanship. They did everything they said they would do, and more. They were very punctual. There equipment was in great shape and their crew was very skilled and knowledgeable. I'm a licensed professional engineer and an unclassified general contractor myself and l can confidently say that they are extremely exceptional contractors in their ethics and products. Any homeowner could hand their project over to Ace Asphalt and feel confident that they will be getting a great product at the best price. I'm looking for opportunities in the future to hire them again. Mike

Terrific! Came out very quickly . Work was very professional. Price was very reasonable. They did things we hadn’t even discussed, such as hauling in rip-rap to prevent further erosion on both sides of the culvert! Looks great, and water now flows with no problem and no erosion! Ace also paved my driveway about 12 years ago and it is holding up extremely well. This is a company that knows what it’s doing! Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Driveway was sinking over the culvert due to erosion. Needed old culvert removed, new one installed, new fill, and patch asphalt driveway.

Work started and ended as schedule (3 days). Very responsive to specific problems. Price paid was exactly as estimated. Condition of road was very poor, cracked, disintegrating, sinking in some places. Extensive prep work required including expanding existing turn-around circle, tar and chip prior to 2" asphalt. All problems resolved. Jim and team worked very well together. In my view, outcome was excellent! Intersection with existing driveways was done extremely well. Price was significantly better than other large company estimate.

Ace came to my house within 3 days to develop a quote. The team was very professional and the end result was fantastic. They asked where to put the dirt they removed and used it to fill in and smooth a small ditch on the side of the driveway, all the way from the road to the end of the asphalt, all at no extra cost. Very little work was required to smooth out the lawn surfaces next to the fresh asphalt. I would highly recomend them..

They came in the morning and finished by 5:00. It looks great. Our neighbors are all impressed with the workmanship and the curve of the driveway which looks very attractive. When we got estimates, one company was charging $1500+ to haul off the existing gravel. Jim found a house in the surrounding area that wanted the additional rock on their driveway and hauled it for no additional charge. Our driveway is fairly long and also slopes towards the garage. They built the driveway in a manner to have the water run off at a different angle.

Fantastic job. Easy to work with. Kept us up-to-date on the schedule. Nice people. We first contacted them in the spring for an estimate. Once we got all the estimates then we had a homeowners meeting to approve the job. That took a couple of months. Ace won the bid and we let them know they got the job. They let us know they were busy and would fit us in when they could. About a week in advance they let us know they'd be there at 8am on 8/25. They graded and paved the road in a single day - which was terrific because it minimized the inconvenience for the homeowners in the subdivision. The road looks and drives great.

We had been contemplating a replacement of our driveway with either concrete or asphalt for a couple of years. In addition to the driveway's poor condition, the height of the lip between the street and driveway surface was so steep that the underside of our new minivan scraped upon entering and exiting. Replacement was long overdue. Earlier this summer, Ace Asphalt removed and replaced a long, downhill driveway in our neighborhood. The result was so attractive that it resolved any concerns about the ''look'' of asphalt verses concrete. Ted, the owner, provided a very reasonable estimate. He also devised a clever method to reduce the height of the lip without going into the public street which would have required city approval and additional expense. The result is a beautiful, functional driveway that greatly enhances our home. I enthusiastically recommend Ted and his hard working crew at Ace Asphalt.
Description of Work: Removed original, decades old asphalt driveway with significant root damage and replaced it with new beautiful asphalt driveway. Ace Asphalt also reduced the height of the entrance onto the drive without impacting the ''apron'' onto the public street.

We initially contacted Ace Asphalt to schedule and meeting with them at our address to get a cost estimate for paving our 550' gravel driveway. While we weren't looking for an asphalt surface and we didn't know that there were other options to consider. Ted arrived on time, took a look at the driveway and garage apron, and asked what we wanted done to our driveway. We told him what we knew needed to be done - it had to be graveled and graded and then surfaced but we weren't sure what our options were at that point. We told him we didn't want another gravel surface that would need more grading in the future but we weren't sure we wanted an asphalt road through our woods. He reminded us that trees have roots and asphalt pavement doesn't respond well to tree roots. He then told us he had a pavement option that wasn't asphalt or concrete and should work well for us, a tar & gravel surface that would serve us well under our trees and would have the appearance of a gravel drive and would stand up well to residential traffic. We asked him if he had any sites with this type of paving that we could check out. He gave us the info and the next week we drove over to Durham, NC and checked out a recent tar/gravel drive he'd paved for a homeowner. After this visit we gave him the go-ahead to put us on his schedule. He showed up on Friday, Nov 8, 2014. the first thing he did was blow the leaves off the work area, then grade, level, and compact all the areas to be paved. He next began applying the tar to the garage apron area and spread the coarse pea gravel over the tarred area. He applied 2 layers of tar & gravel, compacting the gravel into the fresh tar after each application. Saturday morning he came back to reinforce the curves in the driveway with a third layer of tar and gravel and touch up any spots that needed work. Ted and his work crew showed up on time, did the work they were contracted to do and finished in the time frame they initially quoted me. I was very pleased with the work of everyone, I enjoyed watching my rough & ready driveway transformed into a very smooth and enjoyable access to our home and garage. It was the perfect solution to our need for a driveway that complimented our place in the woods. They answered our questions during their work, explained what they were doing at each step in the process and why they were doing it. I learned a lot from them and was impressed with their knowledge and expertise. I have given Ace Asphalt the highest grades and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and very experienced team of paving professionals that will exceed your expectations!
Description of Work: JOB - repairing and paving 10' x 550' of moderately eroded gravel driveway, 3 vehicle parking area and a 3 car garage apron of approx. 750 sq ft. Because of the length of the driveway, size of the garage apron and parking area, and our heavily wooded property Ted suggested that paving with tar and gravel might be preferable to an asphalt surface and we could save about 35% on the job cost.

I was very impressed with this business. The owner himself came out (on a Saturday morning no less) to do the estimate and walked me through everything he was doing and discussed how the workers would apply the asphalt. They initally said they were scheduling about a month out, but called me about two weeks later and said they had a cancellation. They came the next day and finished the work in less than 8 hours. The driveway looked beautiful and they cleaned up after themselves. They also left a rope across the driveway so no one would drive on it accidentally while it was drying. The owner discussed care and maintenance of the driveway with me and we have had no problems with it so far. My next door neighbor liked it so much that he has his driveway done as well!

He was very honest, and told me that I didn’t need to use his services for about three more years. I would give him a very high rating for integrity. I have used him a few times. Every time, they were very good, came on time, did the job straight ahead and did good work. The pricing was competitive.
Description of Work: They came to check whether I needed to get more sealer on my driveway or not. It was a free consultation. They also put in my driveway about fifteen years ago and put a coating of sealer on it about seven years ago.
