Like clock work. Easy to communicate with. Price was competitive. I had a personal scheduling situation which they accommodated. It was a total pleasure to work with the on site supervisor and the office personnel.

They did an awesome job. This year I got four companies to quote this project and Protect a Cote was last one due to my final review of going to Angie's List. They were the least expensive and Phil and John did a GREAT job. They were professional, courteous and completed the job quickly. They also brush seal coated instead of a pressurized spray sealcoating which we had done in the past. I am not sure if one is better than the other but in my opinion time will tell (we have now had both). It looks great - this company is my "go to" sealcoating company and I would DEFINATELY request Phil and John again.

I called them to schedule having our driveway done. I explained that we had some construction done and the driveway was in dire need of a re-coat in time for a large party. I was assured that they would take care of it within the 5 week deadline. Two weeks before the deadline, I called to check the status, because they hadn't even been out for the estimate. I spoke with Fred Wyman, and he was very rude and unprofessional. He put me on hold while I was in mid-sentence. When he picked back up, he seemed really bothered and said "yeah, we don't get out your way much. We are really busy. We'll get to you when we can". This was a big contrast to the friendly lady that I initially spoke with. I called back two weeks later for another status check, and I was told by Fred Wyman that they don't have time to service me. I told him it would have been nice to know this several weeks ago before you committed, because i know don't have time to find someone else to do it. He said "I don't know what to tell you". I have never experienced this kind of attitude from a business owner before.

One of the best experiences we’ve had with Angie’s list. Everything worked perfectly. — even though we postponed from one year to the next. I had taken two other bids. And also had done a “testing” of three companies over several years for seal coating, and decided this was the best choice. (We had this confirmed when our neighbor also use this company, completed their job just before ours – and were thrilled.) Also their business practices are very fair and customer-focused.

They did a very good job and got the entire driveway completed in one day. I gave them good ratings in everything but Responsiveness because I never got the callbacks for scheduling when I was supposed to and had to always initiate a call to them to get any information. That was the only thing I was unhappy with.

The service was prompt, communication prior to the work was good. The quality was sub-par - sealcoating material was splashed on the rock wall and the garage door, and two large areas (about 3 feet) were only lightly coated and I can already see the driveway through the material. But the guys were nice, quick and quiet. I didn't notice the splashed areas or the deficiencies until later or else I'm sure they would have fixed everything right away.

There were two quotes from him. Well, he couldn't do a seal, but he could do a full driveway replacement, but it's a double driveway, we share a driveway. It was about $15,000. I thought it was fair, but we just didn't want to do a full driveway, he just seemed pretty fair. I had to follow up.

It was very fast and easy. They responded quickly to our email inquiry, sent someone out to evaluate, emailed the quote within three day of our initial inquiry, and came in under our budget. We immediately accepted the quote and then waited for a break in the weather, which came within a week. The whole process took less than two weeks from inquiry to finished service.

It went very well. I spoke with them on the phone and after they surveyed the area, gave me a quote for either total replacement or scraped off as much as possible then replaced. They were very upfront about what was the best course of action for my needs and did not try to get me to pay the higher price for total replacement. The workers were prompt and efficient. I am very happy with the results.

They are difficult people to contact. The one time I was able to get a hold of someone, I asked to have someone come out and give an estimate and they told me they had 100s of customers and didn?t know when they could get to me. If they have 100s of customers then they don?t need my business.

The work seemed correct at first, however we would occasionally have the sewer cover pop off and break when we would drive over it. We broke about 5 of them (at $75.00 each) and kept getting new ones, not really sure of the problem. Finally over time, the problem got much worse and the outer wall of the sewer started crumbling which meant that the sewer covers started not just breaking but flying around when you drive over them. We called Fred to see what the issue was and he admitted that he did the job incorrectly to begin with and promised a simple fix of grinding down the sides. It took him about a month to do the fix,which actually fixed the problem. The issue is that during the time between when we contacted him and the fix was completed, the sewer cover popped up violently and did about $2,300 worth of damage to the fender and underbody of my car. I filed a claim with my insurance company, which covered the repair. I now have a claim on my insurance record as well as $1,000 out of pocket deductible payment a result. I have since contacted Fred to get the name of his insurance company so that they can work things out regarding ultimate liability and Fred has not responded to 2 emails that I have sent him. He clearly did not do a bad job on purpose by cutting corners and I think it was an honest mistake. He genuinely seemed to want to do the right thing here as he has admitted to the mistake and fixed it, albeit about 3 weeks too late, but he has thus far refused to take responsibility for the damages caused by his mistake. All he needs to do is give me the name of his insurance company and this will be cleared up. I am not going to try to get reimbursement for the cost of the 5 drain covers that broke. I do hope he contacts me with his insurance information so that I can update this report with a positive outcome. UPDATE: After posting this review, Fred replied with the insurance information that I had requested. I am not sure if posting this helped to speed up his reply, but either way, he has now done what was required. I wanted to update this review as such. In addition, I have updated my overall letter rating of his service. While he may not be the most punctual contractor I have worked with, I do think he is an overall reliable contractor who did not intentionally do anything incorrectly.
Description of Work: This is a long story so I will be brief. Fred from Protect-a-Cote did some sewer work for my driveway that included removing a 20' X 20' section, install a connecting line to the downspout, and repave the area 4 inches thick. He did the work in 2008 and the damages caused by his bad work was not confirmed until 2015.

There are a few cracks I asked them to fill, and they either used sealant in them instead, which didn't take, or when they did use the crack filler down the one in the center of my driveway, now it has parts that are filled and parts that have holes. They?ve been very polite, but haven?t come back to fix it. Now we?re in a time crunch, because we?re almost out of warm weather, and this needs to be fixed before it's too cold.

Response from Protect-A-Cote Inc.
This estimate request came in at a point in time when the season was ending, We actually had snow on the ground the week of Thanksgiving. We cannot give a estimate for a driveway that we cannot even see, we did let the customer know that we would look as soon as possible, which we did and also informed him that some of the repairs requested were not what we do (Front porch repair and garage floor).
