I contacted 4 driveway contractors doing work in the Penfield area for a quote. With the exception of Perinton Paving, all others replied with a prompt quote. Actually, the other three were in a very similar price range. I then just went with my gut feel on who I thought would provide the best workmanship. I choose Tobey Paving and I have ended up very pleased with my choice. The rip out was performed on the predicted schedule and it was left for about a month to well age and settle. I could not be more happy with the final product. The owner was on the job site and I have never really witnessed a more dedicated crew on a project. They were very meticulous with every aspect and showed that they take pride in their work. The edges are well manicured and the surface smoother than any in the area. I consider myself a tough grader but I could not find one fault with Tobey's work. I really think they are presently the contractor to choose in the Penfield/Webster area. Additional Note: On a search before writing this; I see that Angie's List does not even bring them up as a contractor doing work in this area. I'm not sure what that is all about but I hope you find their reviews, and I had no issues at all regarding responses from them.... I don't think you will be disappointed with their work.

i initiaaly called for a free quote to pave my driveway and they were there within two days to measure it up and provide a quote. Their quote was the lowest of the three that I got. They had other good reviews on Angie's List so I decided to give them a shot. Due to their heavy workload and my procrastination getting back to them, it was a little over a month before they could get to my driveway. They arrived first thing in the morning on the day they said they would. The crew was professional and went right to work edging the driveway and preparing it for the pavement course. They were done within 4 hours and the driveway looks great. They cleaned up and removed all of the debris. I would have given them all A's if it was 't for the issue with my invisible fence. I specifically located it for them and told them to be careful and one of the crew still cut the wire. Although they said they had splices to fix it, i initially caught one of the crew just taping the ends together with electrical tape and burrying it. When I said that was not acceptable because it would not hold up and was not waterproof, they reconnected it with an actual wire splice and did their best to tape it and make it as waterproof as possible. Not as good as the actual invisible fence splice, but there was no time to get one and install it before the asphalt came. I hope it holds up because it is under the driveway now.
Description of Work: Put a 2" driveway surface course of pavement over my existing binder course at my house.

Called to get an estimate and was told that it was out of their service area. That was fine I can understand that. Thanked them and moved on. I received a call a few days later and they asked me if I was still looking for an estimate. I said sure and they said that they were going to send someone out at 10-11. Received a call from the estimator that he could not find my house. Apparently he was on another street that was had the same name as mine in another town. I told him where I lived and he said that it is too far out we do not service that far. I had to take time off of work to meet him. Thanks for wasting my time. Do not know why there was confusion since the first person I talked to knew I was out of their service area.

They were fine. I really didn't have a lot of dealings with them. My husband had several different estimates and he had prices that were higher and prices that were lower and this is the one he picked. As far as I know, the quality is good. This driveway is supposed to last for a long span of time so I don't have any feeling that I'm gonna need them again in the future.

Old driveway had to be removed, as well as tree roots. An old basketball pole was also removed. Area was graded, crushed stone was added and compacted. A week or two was given for stone to settle, then the driveway was leveled again and asphalt was put down. A very nice, professional crew that was a pleasure to have around.

When we moved into our house I had weeds growing up in my driveway and various sink holes. We knew there was no hope for that driveway. Toby came in and performed the work to my satisfaction. I think it is important to point out I had many driveway estimates over 12 (not kidding). Toby was not the most expensive but not the cheapest. Some came in to cheap for the amount of work that needed to be done. For the size of the driveway and amount of work done I felt the price was fair. At the time I signed I was at my whits end trying to find a contractor I could trust to do my driveway. Never had so many issues finding a good contractor. Toby made the entire process easy and explained everything they were going to do in the contract. For example the depth of the base, stone to be used etc. In the end I got what I wanted and we no longer have the worst driveway on the street. It is nice coming home to a nice smooth surface. Very pleased with the work and would highly recommend him for fair price and good work.

Ended up inconveniencing us and it never go off the ground with them.
Description of Work: We called to get an estimate to repave/replace our driveway. They made an appointment to come within a certain timeframe - between 3-5:30 which was a little wide, but whatever. We had a picnic to go to for students my wife taught at a local college to celebrate the end of their senior year. The reserved time was overlapping it a bit but we figured that if they came on the early side we could get there on time and if toward the end we could at least catch the end. They never showed, and we missed the event entirely.

After getting estimates from 4 contractors I decided on Tobey because of their price, recommendations from people who have used them in the past, and from their reviews on Angie's list. Their work, appearance, and attitude was all very professional and this was also noted by neighbors as well.

I got estimates, Tobey was mid range, but I really liked him. A year after I got his estimate, I called him and he gave it to me at the same price he quoted. Everything went fine and I will use him again in the future if I have to.

Toby recommended by my son who is in the driveway sealing business and knows who is good. They came out when promised, dug out the old driveway and put in the new base. At the end of the drive, discovered very unsettled ground due to underground springs so had to dig deeper in that spot and put in more stone. (extra charge) After settling for a few months, came back and put on the top asphalt coat. They have only one crew so the owner (Tony) is on every job as well as his son who is expert at driving the equipment. I did not have to put down a deposit and only paid when the whole job was done. Drive looks great. I highly recommend them.

Took quite a few calls after I signed the contract to finally start the job, but once they got here, did an okay job. Right now, less than 2 years later, I am having some problems with the edges crumbling where they built it up. I have called 4 times as this needs to be fixed first before I can get the driveway sealed. They have an answering service, but nobody ever gets back to you.

One problem is, at the top of the driveway there's a dip and Tobey Asphalt Paving may need to come back to fill it in. I called before May and they said they would be here by mid-May. They did not come until July. Their work was quick and for the most part, satisfactory.
Description of Work: We just moved into this home and we needed a driveway. Tobey Asphalt put in a whole new driveway for us.
