Never received a message from you. We have a office manager 9-5 Mon- Friday. I like how you come on Angieslist to give a review of an F for no service performed for you but you have never tried contacting us threw Angieslist not even for estimate what so ever. I do keep all my records of customers I receive on here as well who calls our office. If you would have spoke to someone you would have immediately got an answer that we are booked for the season as to most companies are this time of year seeing it’s the almost end of the paving season.

JS arrived on time and got right to work. They excavated the existing asphalt driveway and a smaller concrete pad that was adjacent to the driveway. Apparently, the concrete pad was not listed on their work notes. After the excavation work was complete I spoke with the owner (Jim) who suggested that I needed to pay more because they incurred an additional cost to excavate and dispose of it. I made it clear to him that I pointed out the concrete pad when I received the original quote. After a brief negotiation, I agreed to pay a small amount to help offset some of the cost. Despite the confusion over the concrete, I found the crew was friendly and professional. They jumped right in to help me move some buried electrical wire and an underground dog fence. Their equipment was clean and new. They cleaned up the street and surrounding area. I thought the driveway turned out very well. My advice would be to review the contract prior to allowing the crew to start the work to ensure everything is covered and there are no loose ends. I suppose this would apply to any sort of work performed by an outside contractor.
Description of Work: They excavated an old single lane driveway, and put down 4-6 inches of gravel and installed a 24 x 60 single-course asphalt driveway.

Description of Work: sealed driveways and provide topsoil. We hadn't actually formed a contract and they were there doing the work. The topsoil was good, but the sealing job was just ok. Everything was rushed. If needed topsoil may use again, but not for sealant.

Had a rough time scheduling the appointment. Was a little discouraged because they did such a good job in putting the driveway in last year. The service to seal and deliver top soil didn't seem to have the same level of interest as before. In fact, I will need to redo some of the topsoil work.

Description of Work: We have an approx 500' driveway. JS paved the top area around the garage and the bottom 50' where we had erosion issues. They also added new crushed stone to the rest of the driveway. Great job, we'll see how it holds up after the winter. We're considering having the rest of the driveway paved next summer.

Response from J S Asphalt
I apologize you feel that way [member name removed]. I did take the time to come out and measure for your free estimate that was no charge to you. I did write your email down and if you remember I had my sons with me that day following me up and down your driveway which in my opinion was a hard layout to make heads or tails of where you wanted the job to begin and end the layout wasn't very edged out by no means. I did write it down incorrectly. I apologize if you didn't receive the quote but to give my company a F rating over a job I didn't pave is nonsense in my opinion. I was fully equipped to handle your job seeing I've paved many private and town roads let alone thousands of driveways my equipment and trucks speak for themselves. Obviously you chose a paver and I don't see any harm done seeing you didn't receive my price obviously I lost out on the job and your business so for that yes my email didn't get to you correctly and I apologize. To call me a liar is down right insulting. I believe in Jesus and I don't lie sir. I make no excuse for you not receiving my quote but we are honest people. You can call any job I have done and see that I am a 100% true person. This is a husband and wife team I don't have 20 salesman out to try to earn peoples business because I don't feel the need to and I would lose the personal relationship to my customers. Our business has been around over 50 years if we didn't have the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we do we would not be still in business. So again I hope you got a wonderful job and apologize you didn't receive your quote but I don't agree with your grade. Thanks so much wish you many blessings in life. Heidi

They had paved my neighbor two doors down the previous year (2012) so I could see they did quality work. Both my next door neighbor and I signed up to have our driveways repaved this summer (2013) , which also gave us a discount for having the work done at the same time. J.S. were very easy to work with and were very flexible with scheduling. They completed the work and did an excellent job. I've given their contact information to a friend who is considering paving their gravel driveway. When another contractor did not show up to do a drainage job, J.S Asphalt were willing to add a drain and fix someother issues near my house. I would definately use them again if needed.
Description of Work: Paved driveway. And paved walkway along side of house. Also added sloped paving next to house to help with water drainage.

They were excellent. They did some extra stuff for me because I ran into some problems and when they were re-doing it, my front steps had to be taken out because they were so old that they were deteriorating. They were kind enough to remove them for me while they had their equipment. We have worked on a deal, it is very easy to make a compromise with them. I found them very friendly. We have like 5 or 6 estimates. The quality of the driveway is very good. Their responsiveness was excellent.

Jim and his crew completed our asphalt driveway and concrete sidewalk. I would not hesitate to hire or recommend this company. The job was of excellent quality and professionalism. This is a family owned business and their reputation is based on the job performance and project completion. If you need a driveway completed call J. S. Asphalt. I am sure you will be as pleased with the end project as I am.
Description of Work: He removed the old brick and concrete driveway and laid down stone and a new asphalt driveway. He also redid the concrete sidewalk.

The resurfacing of the driveway was good. However, they indicated they need to perform sealing the next year to maintain the warranty. I contacted them. After numerous calls on my part, I got through and they stated there was a death in the family that took them out of town. They scheduled the resealing on a date that I was working; I thought it would be fine because they did a good job on resurfacing job. They did an inferior job sealing the driveway. They splattered the side of the garage when they sealed the walkway to the garage side door. The application of sealer was splotchy. There was a 5 foot wide area in front of the garage doors that were barely covered with seal coating. I called them and left numerous messages asking for them to call me back. There was no response. I gave up.
Description of Work: The Company resurfaced my asphalt driveway. I hired them to reseal the driveway the following summer to maintian the warranty as per the instructions on their receipt.

Response from J S Asphalt
I apologize you feel this way (member name removed) . I find your statement very confusing and a bit overstated. Your complaining about the sealcoating which is a product we do not manufacture our selfs for one and for second it is the year 2013 if this was so why wait 3 seasons later to write a complaint. Are you trying to effect my business because I only had good comments on here. Also how many times have you contacted our company?? Because I am the wife and co-owner (Heidi) and every single one of our customers know me personally and that I answer all my phone calls and I dont have nemerous calls recored from you. Most of our customers have my personal cellphone number also for when I am out of the office giving estimates so I can be reached. All my calls are documented to the exact time and dates. I would be glad to give phone numbers to anyone of other previous customers that had complaints that have called in and been responded to in a professional manner. If a company said that they didnt have complaints that would be a lie. Not everything goes perfect on every given day. We all know its called life. My father did pass away in 2010 and the same month I also was very ill giving birth to my son that year in ICU so if you were over looked that year I do apologize, but you could have called us in the spring of the following year to come look at the issue not comment years later. Sealer can be cleaned with the proper cleansers and dissolvents used and if the coating dried uneven we would have been glad enough to recoat those spots. Wind does occur and areas do dry different. It wouldn't have been the first time it ocurred for any paving company. Also you do not have to hire our company for the sealcoating it is not forced upon you. You just have to wait until the warranty period is over if you wanted to hire a different company because I still have to warranty the asphalt and not everyone uses quality products. I understand everyone has the right to an opinion but we are a great family owned and operated business who pride ourselves on our work and name for our three sons future and stand behind our work 100% and for you to post a complaint mutiple years later is obsured. We do hundreds of driveways each season and have many referrals from customers, repeat customers, and many compliments and praises in the way we run our business and the quality of the jobs received. If you would like to give our company a chance to change your opinion please contact our office and I will gladly discuss any issues and see what can be done to chage your mind. We do like to make all of our customers happy and do try our hardest. We are a local company who plans with the help of our lord to be around many years and serve our local communities and families like ours. So again I do apologize if there was a misunderstanding and a few years ago is hard to remember with so many customers ,but instead of writing a bad comment try giving our company a chance to show what we stand for. Contact the office at 584-0670 or my cellphone 378-4661. Please understand that every customer is important to us and we do try to stand out from other companys with not only our orange fleet but also the way we run and operate this business. All I can do is put the offer out there to resolve this matter in a professional manner and if you do not want to give our company the chance all I can do is apologize and wish you well and thank you for your business. Any person that would like to speak to anyone of our past customers whether it is was a complaint or a refference of a 100% happy customer is always welcome to at anytime, but anyone that knows my business knows what we stand for and the list of complaints are very few compared to the list of happy customers because if it were the other way around we wouldn't have a name thats been trusted and around for over 40 years of business and couldn't continue to operate our business if we were so unprofesional. Without our previous customers referrals and satisfaction for all our years of business unfortunatly we would have been one of the many paving companies that we have witnessed come and gone over the years unfortunatly. So yes we are proud of who we are and of our many years serving the capital district and that will not be taken away from our hard work by the sweat of our brows and our family sacrifeses we have dedicated our lifes to this business. We are proud to wear our company name on our cloths and vehicles proud to put signs out on our jobs where ever we are because our hearts are in this business from the past, present and the future.

J and S is a very professional company. They responded to us immediately and came to look at what we needed done. They gave us an estimate for the job along with references. Since it was late in the year , weather permitting they completed the job on the weekend. We were very pleased with their work and their flexibility to get the job completed. We will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: J and S coated 600 ft. of our driveway and they also expanded our driveway and sealed it.

Outstanding experience with J.S. Asphalt! I would hire them again and I highly recommend them. The entire driveway looks awesome! Great pitch, nice edges and the water just sheds off. We have nice transitions to the garage and several walkways. More details: The owner came on time and gave the job cost estimate for repair and laying topcoat, 375 feet of driveway. Jim left a very good impression, listened, had great solutions for the driveway and some topsoil work. As a reference check and due to the size of this job, I then drove by 7 driveways listed on their reference list to check out their work and in addition I personally spoke with another 4 people who has used JS Asphalt before. All 4 had very positive experience and the other 7 driveways I drove by looked great and had a good pitch. We (as well as 3 other neighbors) signed up. A larger bad section of the bottom of the driveway was dug out Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning they delivered and spread topsoil for a non-related project. They arrived early Monday and started repair of several bad driveway areas. They added stone, power rolled and substantially re-graded the bottom part of our driveway. The pitch of the driveway is now great, much improved and water sheds off nicely in stead of pooling at the bottom of the driveway. They paved the repaired areas with binder. They pre-filled other low areas with topcoat. Then they carefully paved up in front of the garage with topcoat, power rolled and tamped all edges nicely. Then they paved the entire driveway with 2" of topcoat, power rolled and tamped all edges nicely. They spread topsoil (not included, but fair price) and cleaned up the street and the property. I'm very happy with their work. Jim is easy to work with and I would hire in JS Asphalt again. Timely, high quality, professional. The owner Jim is with the crew working during the entire project. And finally, but not least: a very responsive office! Heidi is either right there or returns your call quick. A pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Trimmed both edges of 375 feet of driveway. Dug out & removed bad areas, added stone, re-graded and power rolled. Paved those sections with #3 binder and power rolled. Pre-filled all low areas of driveway with blacktop #6 and power rolled. Paved entire driveway with 2" of blacktop #6, power rolled and tamped all edges.
