Meticulous Asphalt Maintenance

Well I never experienced this kind of drama from a person that has a A rating on Angie's List. It started out good he was to come down and give a estimate on 8/27 but I had a outing w/ my daughter that I forgot, so he told me to give him a call when I got home and I did. But he forgot he had a wedding that afternoon but his mother called for him to let me know he would not be coming to give a simple estimate. I spoke to his mother she told me he would be down Sunday for a estimate. But I got a text from him telling me his buddy is on his death bed and he has not left the hospital, asked me to send pics of driveway which I did with in a few hours. Sent pics to his e-mail address, told me he would look at them when he was home that evening. He sent a text and thanked me for being patient. I returned text saying I am and will be but I needed just a estimate so I can move to the next step and I offered if estimate is good the job does not need to be done until the week of the labor day week, I gave him time to do the job but again I never got a simple estimate! Sunday the 28th came back again by text asking if I wanted driveway repaired and sealed or just sealed, I text back both repair and seal. Same day I just asked if he got my last message it was late afternoon on Sunday when I did this. He comes back in a very hard way in text "saying he is a busy man doing paper work tonight and he said he did 12 driveways today saying he is doing everything himself all alone and not dodging me". But that same day he said he was at the hospital w/ his buddy, how could he do 12 driveways that same day all by himself? Don't make sense to me, I think he was dodging me. Another text telling me his brother was in a severe MC accident and he has not been there yet on Sunday, dodging me I think, a lot going on don't you think? Then he sends me a pic of a person, head shot in the hospital in bad shape must be his buddy or his brother, don't know. Then he sends another text same day Sunday telling me he will have a estimate for me tomorrow (Monday). Monday night 08/29 came and no estimate, I again sent him a text that I am waiting for the estimate and asking him are we doing this and if not please let me know. Today Tuesday 08/30 I text him again and told him he was the worst provider of service I ever experienced dealing with on Angie's List and will be writing a very negative review. He text back in a very unprofessional way bragging that he has done 200 driveways this summer, his friend died last night at the hospital, its been a bad week, family emergencies happen, I am rude and selfish, very rude. The one thing he never came back with is, I am sorry for everything, how can I make this right. He blamed it all on me the customer that wanted to pay him for a service. All I wanted was a estimate, that's all! This communication was all done by text not the way I wanted it. Who reads this review you decide if you want to go through what I want through for a simple estimate. Good luck who ever gets a estimate from this guy.

Meticulous Asphalt Maintenance arrived on schedule for the quote, quoted the best price, arrived on schedule to seal the driveway, and did a fantastic job, from prep-work to application. There is a concrete sidewalk that cuts through my driveway and the detail work of sealing up to, but not including the sidewalk was perfect. They use the no-odor sealer which truly does not have an odor. One of the best experiences I have had with a contractor, which is why I have taken the time to write this review, my first on Angie's List.

It didn't -- couldn't get a response to my phone calls. I did get a call from someone that said she had been hired to do call backs and set up appointments. I set up an appointment and no show, no call on that day -- and based on all the good reviews on Angies I thought I would give it another try...again no response. Hard to understand all of the comments about how responsive this guy is...NOT my experience

Obtained referral from my son who went to school with Joe. After a very dry summer the day I had scheduled the driveway to be done it rained. That said Joe was in full communication that day to make alternative arrangements. The finished job looks super. Really makes the house curb appearance very sharp, refreshed and clean. Definitely will use the service again next year!

I'm really happy with how my driveway looks! It has been at least 6-7 years since it was sealed, but they did a great job and it looks very fresh and crisp. It's a tar-free product as well so it is supposed to be environmentally friendly and does not stink at all! Very communicative via text and you can tell how passionate he is about his business and taking good care of customers. This is definitely someone who wants to win not only your business, but your loyalty and you can see it every step of the way.

Great communication and arrived on scheduled date. Driveway looks fantastic and areas of concern from where snowplow blade had marked up end of driveway was given extra attention. Has definitely earned return business and would be happy to recommend to others who are looking for a quality product and service.

Joe showed up the day I called him and worked diligently in the 90 degree heat until the job was done. He was very polite with myself and my neighbors, I would most definitely recommend him to my clients, friends, and family.

I've had my driveway sealed for 30 years. This is clearly the best job ever done on my driveway. Joe was here the time and day he promised. He was very professional with his work in spite of the extreme heat. His work was neat and extremely thorough. Selecting a name for his business couldn't be more accurate. Meticulous describes his work perfectly. I highly recommend Meticulous Asphalt Maintenance to those seeking this service. I will absolutely use this service yearly.

Did an excellent job! Communicated date and time. Very happy with outcome.

Joe, the owner of Meticulous, definitely named his company properly. His work was nothing short of amazing. My driveway is quite old and is extremely long with many different turns, slopes and edges. I have had the driveway sealed several times over its lifetime, but was really unsure if it would even be worth it to seal it again because of its age. Joe looked at the driveway, gave me an accurate assessment of what he could accomplish, and provided a very fair estimate for the amount of work involved. The day that Joe did the job, I was not able to be home until mid-afternoon but I told Joe to go ahead and do the job even if I couldn't be there. When I finally arrived home, Joe was well into the job, and invited me to inspect the work that he had already completed. I have to admit, the prep work that Joe did on my driveway was exactly as his company is named: meticulous. I have never had a sealing company perform such thorough and detailed preparation work. The driveway was spotless, the edging was crisp and any stains were properly pre-treated. I went from skeptical about my old driveway ever looking good again, to extremely excited about the way the job was shaping up. I let Joe go about his work, and only interrupted him to offer a cold beverage. Upon completion, Joe was beaming with pride and I immediately could see why! The results were pretty amazing! The sealer dried to a deep jet black and just "popped" like I never expected that it could. Yes, it's still an old driveway, but I can be proud of it again. My guests on July 4th were astonished at how good it looked. I've waited two weeks to write this review just to see how it would look after a couple of weeks of traffic. It's looking great, and I think that Joe has now given my driveway a few added years of life before I need to go to the tremendous expense of repaving. Great job!

Fantastic Job. I am going to have all of my neighbors call for his work

I am a very picky customer and if I'm paying I want the job to be perfect. This was the first time we used Meticulous Ashphalt Maintenance and I am VERY pleased with the job. High quality, neatness and excellentce! Thank you!

I received Meticulous Asphalt Maintenance contact from a friend. They returned my call within minutes and dropped off a quote the following day. Today the owner Joe showed up as scheduled and performed work as quoted. PERFECT!!. I will definitely use them again and again and pass name along to friends and family.

Great job, did everything requested, on time.second time we have used service,we will use them in the future,we would and have recommend them to friends and neighbors

Excellent! Dealing with Meticulous as a consumer was a fantastic experience not only regarding seal coating but regarding the customer relations aspect and business as a whole in relation to any other company I have ever dealt with. Joe was a pleasure to interact with. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced and it shows in his work. Meticulous isn't even the word to describe how precise and detailed he was....

We were so very pleased with our driveway sealing from Meticulous Asphalt Maintenance!!! From securing the date, to delivery and follow-up, Joe's professionalism was top notch! My neighbors will be contacting you next! Thank you!

Excellent service - high-quality product, and expertly applied. No nasty tar odor! Took 30 minutes. Joe is very neat and organized in his work - and very knowledgeable about his trade. He was able to answer my questions and give me info in a way that was easy to understand, which I appreciated. Driveway looks awesome, and it was a holiday (July 4). He was doing the driveway across the street, I approached him and asked him about doing ours, and he did it 20 minutes later. Rates were reasonable - I would have paid more for this level of service. Can't say enough - this is what local small businesses should aspire to be.

Joe did an amazing job and paid attention to every detail

Joe did a amazing job! He made sure to clean the driveway and was very precise the entire time. He put the seal down and made sure everything was perfect before he was done. I will be recommending him to everyone!!!! Great customer service. Great work for a great price!!! I was amazed with the end result. My wife and I were very please and excited. I will be a return customer every time I need it sealed. If you are needing a seal this is the guy you want to work with!! 10 out of 10 in my book'

Joey was very punctual and willing to answer any and all of my questions promptly. When I left for work our driveway was dull and had some strange residue that we kept tracking into our house. When I returned from work Joey had made my driveway look 'Meticulous' as his business name states! We no longer have the strange residue and the driveway being 9 years old looks brand new! We would reccomend Joey 110%!

Excellent job sealing our driveway. Very pleasant person to deal with.

Joe did a very meticulous job and clearly has talent and passion for sealing. He was very professional and the responsiveness and customer service was great!

It went great

He did a good job. Came when he said he would. Was neat and clean

Beautiful! Truly the nicest guy. He did an incredible job and the price was the lowest in town.
