H&H Paving Asphalt Specialist, Inc.

H&H Paving provided professional service from start to finish, including the estimate, provided examples of past work over approximately past 10 years, and were punctual, professional, and thorough in removing and replacing the small driveway involved, including cleaning up afterword. I would recommend them to anyone for a similar service.

H & H Paving Asphalt Specialist were the only company that called us back almost immediately after we called them. They met their schedule, they came on time, and they answered emails promptly. Their price was reasonable. They send out a seven men crew. From start to finish it was done in three hours. The crew was courteous, they cleaned up, and there was only one fifteen minute break while they waited for the asphalt to be delivered. H & H Paving Asphalt Specialist did a fantastic job.

Jerry Holbrook III provided a detailed quote of the original job and a detailed quote for the additional repair job. I went with both quotes and got all the work done at once (which I had to have performed in order to see a little savings in the cost, versus having it done at a later time). I was impressed with Jerry's attentiveness and willingness to work with Gate Logic Security who had to provide a new vehicle sensor for my gate as the driveway was being torn up. Both parties worked well together and I am very happy with the new driveway. I felt H&H was a little expensive, but they were worth the cost in regards to their professionalism and quality of the end product. I know, having used them to replace a section of the driveway that was paved only 2 or 3 years ago, that you get what you pay for. The contractor who engaged the previous asphalt pavers cut corners on costs whenever possible and it shows. My recommendation is to get it done right the first time with H&H. I took pictures of the work performed and will try to have them uploaded in the near future.

I met with several contractors and thought H &H Paving was very responsive to my requests. The first time I met Jerry III he arrived at the house before me to assess the driveway. The first thing he mentioned was the downward grade (slight) on the top portion of the driveway, which if graded improperly, would direct water towards the garage or other areas. We also discussed how the water should be directed from the top portion of the driveway and down towards the entrance which has a more prominent grade. Jerry III assured me the drainage would not be an issue and indicated they would verify drainage when the work was completed. We hired H & H Paving to perform the work which was completed on time and without any issues. At some point, we started to see drainage problems in our front yard and between the street entrance and upper portion of the driveway (this section of driveway is approximately 100? long). Since it has been very dry for extended periods of time, it has taken much longer than expected to realize the severity of the problems. I tried to address the problem by adding more mulch where the water was running off the side of driveway and adding soil and additional grass seed to promote growth in the front yard. The mulch has slowed down the water temporarily; however a section of the front yard continues to get worse as the water has killed the grass and exposed the soil. I reported the problem to Jerry III and he indicated he would meet me to take a look. We tried several times to arrange a day and time to meet and I started to feel as if H & H Paving was not concerned with our problem. I will note that Jerry III and I were scheduled to meet on one occasion but I had to cancel. After more time had elapsed, I decided to stop by their office to voice my complaint. Since neither Jerry III nor Jerry Sr were available I left my contact information at front desk and was told that someone would contact me. Jerry Sr contacted me the next day and he recommended a couple of options that might help. I disagreed with all but one suggestion which would require me to install rocks down the side of driveway to slow the water down. It was becoming apparent that Jerry Sr was not going to take any responsibility for the drainage issues; however he did say he would stop by and look at the problem. I told Jerry Sr that I would prefer to meet him however he said that was not necessary. I did not hear back from Jerry Sr so I called the office and left a message. Jerry Sr called me the next day and it became VERY apparent that we had two totally different opinions as to why we are having drainage problems. I sent several pictures to Jerry Sr that clearly illustrated that the base was poorly graded and laid without any regard to the low points in the driveway. The previous driveway had been in place for over twelve years and we NEVER experienced drainage problems. After Jerry Sr viewed the pictures he indicated the water was running to the lowest point (front yard) and it?s not their problem. I disagree and think the base should have been graded to compensate for low points and direct the water away from these areas as the original contractor did. It seems that H & H paving is only interested in the appearance of driveways and is not concerned with functionality. I asked for an explanation as to why we didn?t have drainage problems prior to the installation of the new driveway and haven?t received a response. We too were threatened by Jerry with a lawsuit because of our posting on Angie's List. We received a letter from his attorney demanding that we remove our posting from Angies List within five days or else they would purse any and all legal remedies, including a possible claim against us for defamation from the comments we posted. That was two months ago-we didn't remove the posting and haven't heard from his attorney. We definitely won't be doing business with him again and would not recommend him to anyone else.

The crew of 6 arrived shortly after 9am and immediately got to work. They worked throughout the day with only a few water breaks, and it was a VERY HOT day. They put down 2-3 inches of stone (more in some areas), and 2-3 inches of asphalt. The sides were hand tapered at a 45 degree angle. The cut-in to the road and wide turn around area by the garage is very smooth - no bumps or ridges. A superior job overall. They finished up just before 5pm and left the job site very clean and neat. I was thoroughly impressed with the crew and company, and would definitely use them again for any future jobs. I will recommend them to any of my neighbors who might ask about my new driveway.

I got 4 bids and H&H was easily the most responsive. They called me back after not hearing from me and changed their schedule to fit my schedule. They did the work, cleaned up and left nothing behind except a new driveway. Very professional.

The service was excelltn and they did a great job.

They were a good company. We would use them again.

Very well - a professional job smooth surface eves & nicely tapers edge a "10".

On time! In and out in one day. Extremely thorough and detailed. Most professional crew!! You pay for what you get!

I was just happy with them. The price cannot be compared because re-paving of asphalt driveway is different and it varies. Some people spend more than what I’ve spent. They did good work. They were co-operative and professional. There were no downfalls. Their price was not perfect but it was average I guess. It was worth the quality of work. I’m happy with the quality and it was excellent. I will use them again in the future if I have to.

I thought the service was excellent. They also did my neighbor's driveway across the street and I know they were satisfied.

Did two of my neighbors then i hired them.Next day did mine & excellent all the way arround. Timely neat conscientious, professional.

H&H was excellent in giving a comprehensive quote, scheduling work, and completing the job quickly.

I was happy with the service if received. I probably paid slightly more that I had too but their promise of shortest turn-around, which they delivered, tipped the scale in there favor. The driveway was old and worn to begin with, but quick resolution was needed because part of the driveway had to be torn up to address a separate foundation issue with the house which was preventing vehicle access to the garage.

My wife and I decided it was finally time to pave our 300 foot driveway. I canvassed my neighbors driveways and found some that were very well done. One which stood out was a 10 year old driveway that looks like it was installed last year. H&H paving had installed it and I called Jerry Holbrook to see if I could get him to come and look at what we had and give us an estimate. It turns out that Jerry lives within 1 mile of our house and he came the same evening. The bid that he gave me $15 to 20,000 depending on how much we removed of the tar & chip base, was high enough that we felt we needed to get other estimates. That was a frustrating process. I called eight companies some of which were from Angies List. Four of these companies never called back. One came out and promised a formal proposal and I never heard from them again. One came out, actually brought two guys to put together the estimate. When their estimate came back, a week late, they completely missed an important part of the project , i.e. the need to dig out close to the house so that the drive will have the proper slope away from the house for drainage. One came back with an estimate almost 2 weeks late late. One came back with a reasonable estimate but could not do the job because they had only a Virginia Class C license. limiting them to jobs under $3,500. Had I not asked about it, they probably would have taken the job. This is something I learned in this process. Always ask for the Virginia License. This company, however, helped us establish a lower price that we were able to negotiate to with H&H. In this process, I went and visited jobs that other companies had done. One company, the one that botched the bid, did not even respond to my request for sample jobs I could visit. H&H was able to show me about 10 jobs within 2 miles of my house that were excellent, and comparable to mine. We decided to go with H&H and are glad we did. Jerry Holbrook is one of the most brash, almost pushy people I have ever met, but having seen his company in action I now realize why he is so proud of his company. Don't let his constant selling mode throw you off as it almost did me. Jerry is a true professional and so is everyone he employs. I asked him about his employees. Many have been with him for 15, 20 or more years. He pays his employees year round...this is not something that many paving companies do during the slow winter months. Consequently he has people who are high skilled and obviously love what they do and are extremely loyal to H&H. As I mentioned earlier, a very tricky part of this project was the need to dig out a section in front of the house that ends at the garage. This area is almost flat and to put a proper 3" asphalt drive in with another 3 to 4 inches of gravel required careful grading. Jerry assured me that they would get it just right and they did. Today, the day after the drive was put down, it rained heavily and the drainage is perfect. There are no seams in this entire driveway. No bad spots. The curve is a perfect radius. The consistency of the asphalt is very good. The seam where the driveway cuts into the street is straight and cleanly done. The edges are perfect. The 45 degree edges by the way are a signature of H&H paved driveways. I can pick them out any where I go. Most of the asphalt paving jobs written up on Angie's List are for $2,000 to $6,000. I am here to tell you that if you have a larger job like mine, I would not trust it to a smaller paving company. I have learned just how important it is to get a larger company that has the resources to do a larger driveway. This means, extra trucks, extra rollers, state of the art asphalt machines and the people to do the job. My wife and I are pleased with the job H&H did for us and recommend H&H to other Angie's List members, especially if they have a larger driveway like ours.

Got their name from angie's list called. Jjerry came out and measured the driveway patiently answering my questions.Sent an estimed by mail in three days liked his perposal scheuled a time for the work to be done.Showed up with crew and equimpent right on time.very professional crew. Did a very good job worked well together.nothing but good words for H&H Paving.

My husband I met with several paving companies and received about 6 different estimates. H&H Paving was the most expensive (the price difference between our lowest bid and the highest was approximately $4000); however, we were drawn to their company because of their professionalism, propt response times, and reliability. Also, they included their certificate of liability insurance, buiness license, and most importantly a page full of references of previous customers that had their driveways paved with H&H in the past. The references dated as far back as 2001 and included driveways that were done just a few months before we had ours completed in 2010. My husband and I were able to drive to the references listed and see that even after 9 years, their driveway was still intact. I was not at home on the day of the paving, but H&H did call me at work to let me know they arrived and kept me updated with what was going on. We are very pleased with our beautiful driveway and we will be using H&H this summer to have the sealing completed.

H&H Paving did an outstanding job of paving my long, downhill, driveway in 1999. Now, twelve years later, the driveway is still in excellent condition, with a few small cracks, which H&H repaired today. Prompt, reliable service, and quality work from this company.

Everything went very well. Included was for them to come back and seal the driveway. Only problem I have is the drain does not handle very heavy rains. Small puddle forms over the drain for a couple of hours. Not a deal breaker but that is why I downgraded them on quality.

They also charged me an additional $700.00 to remove the concrete underneath, which I reluctantly paid. The owner's son, Jerry Jr., was arguing with the contractor about the amount of gravel, which was never delivered. The foreman requested an additional 5 tons of asphalt. Jerry Jr. decided that he was just going to make do with what he had, because asphalt was too expensive. They argued about the matter with me listening on the porch, and I wound up with neither gravel nor asphalt. My driveway now has little gullies and ruts in it and is soft when you step on it in certain places. The uncle, Kevin, who originally made the estimate, recognized the problem and said it needed to be fixed. The rest of the company has ignored him, and just made promises that they did not keep. It's been nothing but no call, no show since then. In addition to all of this, they say that they accept Visa and Mastercard, but in reality, they do not.

The salesman/estimator was very professional and promptly gave me and a neighbor bids on our driveways. He also gave us a long list of previous jobs we could go see. The price was slightly higher than one other bidder and about half the price of another bidder who has done a lot of work in the neighborhood. My neighbor and I both decided to go with H&H. The crew came when expected and did both driveways the same day.

Workmen removed old asphalt section, but did not attempt to locate and repair source of settlement. I was able to put my foot in the hole and easily push my foot into the ground to demonstrate the base was not stable. I then took one of their tampers and began tamping the base. Workers completed installing the patch and then laid a very sloppy line of adhesive on the joint. They also buried a sprinker head in asphalt after I showed them where they were and that they functioned. During the course of work, the workers also smoked at the entrace to my garage, distributing smoke into my home.

H&H was very prompt and professional with providing an estimate. They were articulate about what they could and could not do with our driveway. After negotiating a better price than initially quoted, I hired them to replace the driveway. They scheduled my work within a few days of signing the contract. The team arrived and did a very quick and very professional job. The new driveway looks great. They did a fine job cleaning up and even provided a users manual for the new driveway.

I checked out their previous work and everything was pretty good. I also took estimates from other companies. They were the second most expensive, but when they did the work they went down in price. They did a good job. It takes a year or two to know how the work is. However right now it looks good.
