Description of Work: Ripped out the old driveway, put a new bed down. Put down new asphalt and then stamped it with our color and design. They reinforced the sides with sod, opting for this vice the metal borders. Looks like brick, HOA approved! | |Guesstimate on the date of service.....

driveway pavers
+ -1 moreI initially came in touch with Driveway Impressions through a Home & Garden show in 2009; they came out and gave me an estimate. Although the price was reasonable, I had other financial priorities at the time. Contacted them again in 2012 but again my finances were an issue even though they were willing to do the job at the 2009 price. I was finally able to commence the project in 2014. The 2014 price was only several hundred dollars more than their 2009 estimate. There was a 33% deposit required at the time the contract was signed; they gave me a date the work would start and they arrived promptly on the proposed date. Prior to my signing the contract, I requested references and visited and spoke with three people who had used them. Each one was totally satisfied with the work that was done and all three driveways were still lovely even though they had been done several years earlier. This was a a two-step process in that the asphalt needed to dry before the stamped process could take place. They gave me the approximate date they would return and everything went according to schedule. The staff were totally professiona and one could tell that they knew what they were doing. Todd (Albin) was extremely patient in talking me through some changes I wanted to make explaining that athough it could be done, it would be costly. i went into panic mode several times and each time he listenend and made suggestions without being overbearing or condescending. The end result is that I have a driveway that is absolutely beautiful. When the job was done, I sent him an email telling him how delighted I was and asking that he include my property on his list of references. Talk about "curb appeal" , when the time comes to sell my home (which is no time soon), this driveway will definitely bring customers into the house. ..

driveway pavers
+ -1 moreThis is a large (2900 sq feet) drive, and I had the front half, the part visible from the street, stamped and colorized to look like brick. There was a problem in that they found a mud pit under the lowest part of the old drive and had to dig out 4 truckloads of mud and bring in stone. This cost additional money, which I was not prepared for, but the company and I worked out a professional and workable agreement that allowed the job to complete. The biggest issue is that the new drive is beautiful and really higher quality that I see in the other neighborhood driveways. For example, my old drive tapered to very thin asphalt at the edges and this caused cracking. A truck drove across the drive, slipped onto the lawn, and a three foot section of the old drive just broke off. The new drive has full depth all the way to the edges, with a chanfered (45 degree angle) edge, that is stronger, and when re-landscaped, will stay good for decades. The final product is the envy of my neighbors and I am very happy with it.
Description of Work: They removed the old driveway and installed a new asphalt drive. There was a problem in that they found a mud pit under the lowest part of the old drive and had to dig out 4 truckloads of mud and bring in stone. They also installed a "roundabout" detail at the widest part of the unstamped part which is quite nice.

+ -1 more1. We were told that there would be someone on the crew that would help with the design. 2. We were given a picture that showed the imprint of the house number within a decorative oval, and told that that is how the final product would look. 3. We were told that the height would not exceed 2-3 inches. 4. Most importantly, the verbal and written materials lead you to believe that there is little to no maintenance. Ref #1: They wanted to move up the installation date, which we agreed to, but it left us with little design planning time and there wasn't anyone available to make suggestions about the design. ref #2 They did not use the decorative oval for the house number - just the four digits at the street edge. Ref #3: The height was more like 5 inches and although they agreed to add some fill dirt (at our cost), we still had to add two pick up truck loads to bring it to a level that the riding mower would clear. Ref #4: This spring we noticed that the sidewalk edges were bubbling. We were told that you cannot allow grasses to grow close to the edges. So we are left with an unsightly 6"" strip of dirt beside the sidewalk. To their credit, they did tamp the sidewalk edge down. We don't know if the repair will hold, but they will not do anything more to correct the problem. Also, during the initial installation, they did fix an edge of the driveway that, due to a misunderstanding with the installation crew, was not finished as we had expected. They recently touched up two small spots for free - one was an indentation due to a heavy object and they painted over a tire track. Final word - Yes, it looks very nice, but knowing what we know now, (and how expensive it was) we would have done things differently.

+ -1 moreAt the Home Show they explained that they do not take out the old asphalt but simply "heat and resurface" so to speak. When they came out...promptly and very professionally...they explained that our driveway was too old and would need to be replaced. While their price was in line with other estimates for replacing the driveway...we were not ready to do that until the weather got better. We will certainly have them out again when we are ready for the bigger job.

+ -1 moreI actually had Driveway Impression come out and they seemed very professional in their bid. I would have loved to take advantage but we were spending lots of money with the landscaping and that's why we couldn't afford it. They seem to be top-notch and I would like to try to use them sometimes later, maybe end of the year once the economy kind of accept again and recovers. I would give them A across the board.
Description of Work: They gave me an estimate to redo my driveway.

driveway pavers
+ -1 moreThe overall process was exceptional. From the time the first crews arrived there was a constant concern in making sure that my property was well taken care of. While the process was a meassy one, the foreman made sure that they left the job site as good, and actually, better than it was vefore the crew got her. I liked that treatment for sure! The people were very friendly and were dressed neatly in uniforms. Many neighbors commented on how well run the crews were. Most folks have had a bad experience or 2 to tell, but I tell you, this contractor operates well outside some of the typical stero-types we all have heard about. You will have trust of Todd Angelo Albin (he's Italian of course), the owner and his crews. To me, I knew my project was in good hands.
Description of Work: Each stage of the process was quite interesting. I was first educated as to the proper installation of a driveway as well as educated about some common misconceptions. I watched every step of construction, from the preparation of my existing asphalt surface. The next stage was one of the most amazing ones I have seen, Driveway Impressions crews worked with this rather large piece of equipment which was designed to heat up my asphalt driveway to 300 degrees. They then took a template and put it in the hot asphalt and then ran a piece of equipment which vibrated the template pattern down into the driveway. They picked that template up and moved to the next hot asphalt section. What they left behind were clean impressions of my design I chose for the borders as well as the main pattern design. I chose a cobble pattern with a brick border. This process is called Street Print. It is a product that exists in my county as crosswalks and some parking areas. I understand that Street Print exists all over the world and is mostly in high traffic commercial areas. It certainly seemed appropriate when the process was explained to me. The final stage was to put the color in. The process was done with 2 different products that literally penetrate into the asphalt, the first process is a coating product that contains cement and will give your driveway that same durability. The second coating process is an epoxy like acrylic which works into the asphalt like the firat to give it added strength as well as the color. When it was done, it was absolutely unbelievable. It did look like the real thing. I also saw plenty of Driveway Impressions driveways before hand to make sure mine would be authentic looking as well as fitting my taste and complementing my home. I got to tell you it was a mission accomplished. In fact, I understand that my driveway can be salted, plowed or shoveled, and will not stain. There is also little if any maintenance either.

+ -1 moreDriveway Impressions was very professional, responsive, helpful and a joy to work with from start to finish. The salesperson took the time to answer my many questions to help me understand the process and provide advice on patterns and colors that would best complement my house and the size of the driveway. Most of all, he was fair, honest and trustworthy in quoting; no bloating of price or need for bargaining. The best thing is that I got a beautiful driveway at a much lower cost than brick or cement and it's totally maintenance free. I highly recommend Driveway Impressions to anyone who wants a top quality and appealing driveway without the hassles of maintenance. I loved the driveway so much and got so many compliments, I had my walkway done to match.
Description of Work: Old, crumbled asphalt driveway and cement square removed. New asphalt driveway installed, decorative stamping, color and coating applied. Concrete walkway removed and stamped asphalt walkway installed.

+ -1 moreThis project was accomplished as contracted and scheduled without a hitch and the finished product looks fantastic. Driveway impressions subcontracted the asphalt repair and initial asphalt application to Manassas Asphalt (these folks were prompt, careful and good) and then heat stamped and coated the surface with their own expert crew.
Description of Work: This company installs stamped asphalt surfaces (Street Print) which look like they have been covered with interlocking paver's. They repaired and re-surfaced asphalt driveway and also installed an adjoining asphalt walkway with central flower bed, they hot-stamped a selected pattern on the new surface and then they coated entire project to color and protect.
