John Donohue Asphalt Paving

Great price and great job. Provided the estimate and was able to complete the job in the same day.

They were in my neighborhood doing my neighbors houses. cold called my house with a “great deal.” I was skeptical so I asked to see previous work done (neighbors houses’). in the middle of the process seemed decent. told me I did not have to pay until I was completely satisfied. I even offered a deposit but he (John?) said no. I asked if he took visa and he said we take all forms of payment no problem. work was completed while I was on vacation. before work was done I specifically asked if the existing driveway needed to be dug up. he guaranteed me that he is the “owner” of the company and the other companies were pushing unneeded services. dumb ole me believed him and now my driveway has edges that literally break my ankles and a steep hump that I never noticed. ”owner” came to my house to demand payment once I came back. all of a sudden he doesn’t take visa. he is unable to process my card. I offered to mail a check after receiving an invoice from him but he said “I don’t trust you”. demanding payment even though I am unsatisfied with the work I sent him a zelle payment so he could be on his way. my gut said no and it was right. steer clear.

I had my driveway paved in 2021 by John. I wanted to get my driveway sealed by John but he has been totally unresponsive over the past few months. I spoke with him back in the spring and he said, "yes I will have you on my radar" and "I will forward to my son for scheduling" but nothing. Numerous text messages sent him over the spring/summer go unanswered. How professional is this after paving the driveway in 2021 and saying directly, "give me a call next year and we will take care of sealing."

John Donohue and team did an excellent job and I would certainly recommend them for your asphalt paving needs. John provided great customer service and the end result looks perfect. Highly recommend!

This company does excellent work. My driveway looks brand new! They applied a thick layer of sealer and were courteous and professional. Mary Ally

John sets the professional tone for this family owned business by caring for his crews. That concern is reflected back by enthusiastic people who do their jobs with great skill and pride. They were a joy to work with. John quoted a price and never asked for a dime until the project was completed to my satisfaction! How utterly refreshing to deal with people who trust you and who you can welcome to your home! Nancy D

Shared pipestem driveway plus adjacent drive to correct deep cracks and foundation repairs

Highly recommend. Very professional. Competitive. Responsive. Beautifully graded and not far residue on sidewalk!

Great work, looks good. Responsive. In fact, our driveway looked so good after the work was completed that at least 3 other homeowners in my development hired Donohue Asphalt on the spot to replace their aging driveways. Came back recently to seal the driveway, also a very good job. Would hire again. FYI, I'm retired but was in the construction field for many years so can recognize a good contractor when I see one.

Poor workmanship. They are unlicensed. Won't provide you with a contract prior to work. Will avoid giving you anything in writing to avoid honoring a warranty. Work is falling apart. I would not recommend. Check out his state license details.

Three years ago, and still looks great. They came out for a quote on a weekend. We shook hands in the driveway and scheduled the work. They came as scheduled and on-time. Charged me what they quoted. This is how a business is supposed to work. They did what they said they would do. Period. It was refreshing to work with them. This is so very-very rare in northern va. I met with a lot of companies who quoted me outrageous prices and couldn't answer their phones or email- Couldn't schedule appointments, and just couldn't get out of their own way to run a business. I highly recommend John Donohue Asphalt Paving for any jobs big and small.

John Donohue’s Asphalt Paving Company arrived when they said they would, removed loose and badly broken areas, fill holes, and install a hot mix asphalt 2 inch think for a complete overlay. They cleaned up everything. The driveway looks great! Thank you to John Donohue and his team for doing a great job! I would highly recommend John Donohue’s Asphalt Paving Company.

It went extremely well. Quoted price was competitive. Showed up on time and completed the work in the time he said it would take. Quality of the work is excellent, and he did some extra things that he did not have to do. I would highly recommend him.

There were several areas where a seam from an earlier job revealed a sloppy application of asphalt. This is in marked contrast to John's work. His crew was neat, hardworking and conscientious. They completed the work in the time promised, cleaned up the work area and left us with a beautiful new driveway.

I made the call. Said they would come by and give me an estimate in 1 hour. Showed up in 45 minutes. Gave me an estimate that beat everybody else. I asked when he thought they could get er done. Told me they would be by in an hour to do it. Unbelievable job. Great workmanship. Job was completed five hours after initial contact. Who da thunk it? These folks are good to go. 100%

There was a little glitch initially regarding when the work was to start but that was resolved once he found my contact information. He remedied the situation, was extremely professional and the work and pricing were excellent. I highly recommend him and his company and retract my initial evaluation when I thought he had forgotten about doing my project.

Great - there were no problems. They came on time and were finished in a couple of hours. John took the time before hand to inspect the drive and found two small places that had to be removed entirely.

John Donahue was great. They are a multi generational company with their own equipment. They showed up as promised at 9 am and were finished by 3:30. I cant say enough good things about the experience. My wife and I knew this work needed to be done when we bought three years ago and had received many quotes and mailers over the years. John Donahue was the only one who came to the house to quote (others use google earth etc). His price was fair and 30% less than all other quotes.

Driveway looked fantastic and our buyers were extremely happy to see the new driveway installed so quickly!

I am happy, John's son came to the house, cleared all debris, taped of edges between the asphalt and concrete and spread the sealer evenly. Looks nice

He could improve with the description of services in his proposal estimate. I would consider him if he came out and gave a more precise description of what he was going to do.

Excellent ... Some of the best work we have had in the Northern VA area.

They did a great job. Driveway looks very good. I was concerned about the slope on one portion but John Donohue immediately addressed my concern.

Work was never performed. That was the problem!
