Merit Asphalt

Detailed estimate within one week resulting in a very well-engineered job with superb attention to details such as getting the slope just right to fix a problem of water flowing into the garage and into the basement. Excellent beveling of all edges in the lawn areas. Careful attention to the sides of the culverts. A crew arrived early one day to excavate, and another crew arrived the next day to pave. Both crews carefully cleaned up after their work. We are 100% satisfied. Now, four months later, after many downpours and storms, not one drop of water has come into the garage, and the basement is now protected from rainwater.

They were professional, prompt, did a great job and left the work site neat and clean. All the work was done in a day n

They did a great job. We wanted it a little bit porous so our wheels could catch in the winter for traction. Everything was very good.

On time, professional, friendly, worked quickly, drainage perfect. It is 1 year later and I still dont have a single crack, and it is a very long driveway paved up to two separate garages.

I called Merit for an estimate for 1.) replacing or 2.) adding to and regrading parts of the driveway. A person called to set up an appointment and came as scheduled. He did not introduce himself to me or my housemate, when she joined us a few minutes later. He did not seem interested in any details of what we wanted done, just measured the driveway. There was no discussion of options, grading or drainage or materials. He left without giving us a card or any other identification. He promised an estimate in the mail the next day, which was sent. It was confusing and contained no drawings for explanation. There was no follow-up call to see if we had questions, and the timeline set for doing the job, per the estimate, was very short. Merit may do a good job with paving, but this was a very poor salesperson.

Everything went well. They did an excellent job.

They quickly responded to my request for an estimate and completed the work within 2 weeks. They would have done it faster but the weather did not cooperate. All staff were friendly and helpful. The work was done to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend.

They do a lot of commercial places, but they also do home. They only do asphalt. It's a large company. We have an old driveway. They did the driveway originally and then they've done resealing over the years and we have a wall at the end of our driveway that goes to the neighbor's backyard and it was starting to crumble and they said that's not any big deal we'll probably have the wall rebuilt and they said they can only do so much and we totally understood it. They did a great job that needed to be done because the cracks were there and they sealed the cracks and eventually we had the whole thing tore up and we don't know what they had to do, but they explained to my husband that they had to take all the re coating off. They were very thorough. They let us know what exactly needed to be done. We will probably get that done in a couple of years or so. They cleaned everything up, they washed everything down and they were very thorough. They were very professional and they put their logo cards (don't drive on your driveway) that was convenient for us. They were friendly, but they didn't want to bother anybody. They were gone before we knew. They were hardly here. Their punctuality was great. They arrived here on time. I did go baby sit and my car was not on the driveway yet so they knocked at the door and said we need you remove the car and I got the car moved and went back into the garage and one gentleman said could you pull the garage door ( I said no problem?) Their price is very comparable.

The work was done less than a week after we signed the contract. Mike Snapp kept in touch with us and answered all of our questions. The workers were very professional and did a good job. The filled-in area looks great. We will have Merit seal the driveway next year.

Bob Pedersen and Justin Barfknecht were great to work with. Bob responded to my inquiry within hours after posting it through Angie's list and I received timely responses to any questions I emailed him. Justin was out the following week for the estimate and actually made a return visit (my fault - I wasn't clear enough). Justin showed up the night before the work was scheduled to mark out the job. Although we were told they'd be starting first thing in the morning, they didn't arrive until the afternoon. The work only took a few hours and cleanup was excellent. Great job.

Smoothly, professionally, and quickly done.

Great. They dealt mostly with my husband, so I don't have all the details, but know he wasn't complaining. They worked around OUR schedule, as it was originally scheduled to be done a day my husband was out of town and they pushed it back a day, as my husband wanted to be home when the work was done to make sure they patched everything correctly. Great job, looks wonderful, and everyone comments on how great our driveway looks. I would highly recommend them for both a new driveway as well as sealing. It was a pleasure to work with Merit again.

A lot of our neighbors had used them and when they gave us the quote, it was right in the ballpark with everybody else. We just felt they were better known to us than the smaller companies. Some of the companies were just going to do sealing and filling in holes and Merit did much more work and did a really good job.

They did a good job. The project was complicated, and required more trucks and manpower than I had expected, but everything went well. We would certainly consider using them again.

They were polite, efficient, clean, fast and did a beautiful job. They were by far superior and just wonderful to deal with!

I attempted to contact this company twice to get someone to come out here to look at my driveway and patch it. I've called twice, got the receptionist twice who put me into the computer twice. To date, I have had no callback. Apparently this company is doing so well in the current economy that they don't need any business. So I won't be giving them any.

I was very happy with their service. They were very respectful, responsive and answered every question I had for him. I would highly recommend them to others.

It went very smoothly. I submitted a quote request online and it took about a 3 weeks before I get a response. They were very accommodating in scheduling the job, they came Monday morning and ripped out the old driveway and regraded. On Tuesday morning they repaved. Each time they were punctual and professional. The new driveway has been in for 4 months now and look great.

I requested 3 quotes: the first was to simply repair the apron after the city replaced my culvert pipe, the second was to replace the entire driveway if the stone base was adequate, and the third if the stone base had to be replaced. Compared to another company's quote, their quote #2 was higher and quote #3 was lower. They agreed to meet the other company's quote #2 so I gave them the contract. The work was scheduled promptly and the office staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. On day one, the first crew tore out the old driveway and fixed the stone base (it did not have to be replaced). They were very friendly and efficient. The second crew came the next day and laid the hot asphalt. I watched the entire process and was welcome. Everyone was careful and there was no damage to the garage or sidewalk. The driveway drains very well.

We described the problem area that needed widening and the reasons for the problems, but when the work was done, it was only widened about 1/2 as much as I expected. Additionally, most of the southern edge of the driveway has developed large, long and serious cracks along the length of it within a month of Merit Asphalt's work completion. I called about the widening issue and they blew me off saying that they did what they said they'd do. At the time of estimating, they didn't offer to supply drawings for approval, thus the apparent misunderstanding. However, they are the professionals at this, so I feel screwed. I am too frustrated with them to even call them again about the cracking. I just bought some filler and did it myself. Also, I got the surprise phone call telling me that we were going to have to pay about $500 more because they allegedly needed more material to do the job. For the length of time they've been in business, you'd think they'd be able to accurately estimate jobs by now. "Caveat emptor", let the buyer beware, applies to dealings with Merit Asphalt.

Went great- a crew of approx 5 came out and did a great job. Product they used seemed to be of great quality.

They are very courteous and very neat. They are also incredibly efficient and are good about keeping me informed on the job and on the details. I was very pleased and I would recommend them to anyone.

The service man has answered all of my questions. I have seen their work at other sites and they do good work. I am very excited to use them.

I would use them in the future. They were courteous and kind while they were here. The quality of their work was good. I would recommend using them. They were professional while they were working.

They brought in a machine and fixed it. There was another crack in the other side but they wouldn't fix it. I don't think we should have had to pay. It was worth it to have it done, though. We had a bulge coming up right next to the crack. They heated it to make it disappear. They took this out, I think it was included in the $451.
