J & J ENTERPRISES INC

Our cul-de-sac was last seal coated 6 years ago (by Lamb Asphalt Paving $3,096 to seal cracks & seal coat) and was becoming quite cracked & worn. I got bids from 3 companies. (The 4th company, Sunland, who bought out Lamb, their sales rep did not show up for our appointment, nor did he call me. No longer being considered!) So I got bids from Affordable, Precision, and J&J Asphalt. Similar prices, within about 15%, but J&J was the least expensive. I usually do not go with the least expensive bid, but in this case, they also seemed to be the best choice. Their sales rep Bruce was the most prompt & least "hard sell". All seemed to be good companies; all had good references/previous jobs I could view; although after researching it all thoroughly, J&J's seemed superior. All seem to use the same materials, although dilution rates will vary depending on the way they apply it. So rather than spray coating, or 1 squeegee & 1 spray coat (Precision), the 2 coats of squeegee coating (J&J) seemed to provide the best coverage, & hopefully the best longevity. (All companies say their way is best, but from what I could figure out, spray coating leaves a nice uniform appearance, but is a diluted/more watered down product.) So I hired J&J, & they scheduled the job promptly. Blew off the dirt & debris. Sealed all cracks 1/4 inch or larger with hot rubber crack sealant. Applied 2 squeegee coats of asphalt emulsion. They were very mindful of not having sloppy edges/run-off like our previous contractor had done & not cleaned up. So I was very happy with the results, as were all my neighbors. A nice, clean looking seal coat, which appears to be thicker, and hopefully better, than the last time we had it done for almost twice the price. Although a lot has changed with Las Vegas contractors price-wise since before the real estate crash, it was really great to get such a good and fair price quote, and to also see a high quality job done! One caveat---I must say that their office staff did drop the ball a couple of times with some bad typo's on the contract, and I had to ask 3 times for a receipt/lien release before I received it. That was a little annoying, but nothing that would ever prevent me from hiring J&J Asphalt again! Their workers do a great job & our cul-de-sac looks better than it ever has! There are a lot of companies called "J&J, but they are J&J Enterprises Services, Inc, 5920 W. Cougar Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89139, 702-361-2914. And I highly recommend them!
