Karen Eaton was very considerate and came out on a Sunday because her work load kept her busy all week. I met Karen at my sister's house, explained what my sister needed, and Karen gave her an estimate that was exactly what she wanted and needed - an overlay of the existing driveway - and less than one third (1/3) of the estimates my sister had received from other companies. There was a one week delay because of work load and the weather, but she came when the job was re-scheduled and completed the job in less than a day to my sister's complete satisfaction. She did an excellent job, my sister and brother in law are totally happy, and I am very pleased that I recommended Karen and saved my sister over Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).
Description of Work: My sister's driveway had deteriorated and was in very poor condition She needed an overlay to put the driveway into a smooth and attractive condition. She had several estimates from other companies, and they all wanted to remove the existing bed and replace it with a new bed, telling my sister that it was impossible to do any overlay. I knew this was not true because my father was in charge of a state highway system and doing an overlay on my own driveway 17 years ago. The gentleman who did my driveway has retired, but when I called him, he recommended Karen Eaton Asphalt.
The driveway that was repaved was a shared driveway. We chose the vendor because of a preference to support a woman/minority-owned business. Unfortunately, the work did not go well and the outcome was unsatisfactory. Understanding that weather can affect work dates, there were several postponements on the project; however, the removal and repaving were completed in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the results of the repaving did not meet expectations, and did not comply with code for the Village of Shorewood. Initially, a meeting was held between Eaton's and the Village of Shorewood Inspector on September 26, 2013. Issues were identified and resolutions agreed upon. Eaton's agreed to correct the grade so water drained away from the homes abutting the drive and to fill low spots in the pavement, to amend the step height, and to sealcoat the drive. This regrading /filling work was completed on September 26, 2013, and the amendment was acceptable to me and to the Village of Shorewood. The amendment to the step height and the sealcoating have never been done by Eaton's. I am submitting this review in March 2015. Since October 2013, I have left numerous messages for Eatons to attempt to arrange the sealcoating and step repair. None of my messages have been returned. In Fall 2014, after a year of trying to reach Eaton's without any response, I contracted with another company to seal coat the drive. In checking with the Village of Shorewood on March 12, 2015, I learned that the building permit taken out by Eaton's for the project has been allowed to expire. Therefore, I have now arranged with another vendor to have the step amended; this work is still required to meet Village Code and to correct the work done by Eaton's. I communicated my plans to use another vendor for the step amendments to the Village of Shorewood Inspector on March 12, 2015 - nearly two years after Eaton's did the paving in July of 2103. This was a frustrating and overall disappointing project. Eaton's was paid promptly, in full; I expected them to professionally and promptly address outstanding issues, but that did not happen.
Description of Work: In July 2013, removed and replaced existing asphalt residential driveway approx. 1380 sq. ft., and removed concrete pad in front of garage approx. 4' x 27' and replaced with asphalt. Contract called for 3" compacted hot mix asphaltic concrete (state grade) machine rolled. Contractor also removed and replaced a step to an entrance to my home; the step was on the drive and although removal was not originally indicated, the foreman on the job decided that the step needed to be removed and replaced to facilitate easier machine paving.

Tear up and replace went okay. However, they never sealed driveway. They kept putting us off and now we are over 1 year later and they do not even answer emails or calls. Understandable, as we paid them the $5000 or more and they do not see the value i. Coming back to finish. That being said, a response would be appreciated. DO NOT USE THIS PROVIDER. Unorganized, unresponsive and YOU GET WHAt YOU PAY FOR. Call me at 41r-418-7345 and I can give you more details. Disrespectful
Description of Work: Tore up and replaced half of our asphalt driveway.

They did a really good job repairing the long driveway. It was a big improvement and it looks much better than what was there and makes the property look better. The crew that came out moved things that needed to be moved, they had to cut some trees and cleaned up after the finished the work.
Description of Work: I used Eaton’s Asphalt and Concrete to do some work on the driveway on the 9th of August 2008.
