driveway sealing

Mike and the people that work with him are definitely the BEST! Quick to do the work and did a fabulous job. My driveway was in horrible shape and to be honest made me pretty discouraged. I use to do it myself but I had let it go for so long that I knew the amount of work and money it was going to take. That was the discouraging part. I started looking for a Co. on Homestars and they were the 1st Co. I called. Man did I luck out! They filled in the cracks, the pot holes and then sealed it. It looks so, so much better now. Customer service like you won't find anymore. They want to make sure that we, the consumer are happy with everything. Start to finish and then even afterwards. They said if I have any complaints at anytime to be sure to contact them and they will make it right. Can't tell you the last time any Co. has said that to me. It was much appreciated.

Thank you Vicky! I could tell from the start that you were going to a delight to work with. I was right! I know I'm only a "driveway guy" but what I enjoy about what I do is making customers happy with my work. Very happy to see that you approve of our work. All the best :)

Driveway Seal and Patch/Ramp

I am rarely happy with any services these days, however, this company impressed me.
I have used them twice in the last three years. The blacktop coating lasts approximately 2 yrs.
Last year we did the black top and they built a slight angle of asphalt where our driveway meets the garage door because the driveway was sinking. The generic term for this is "cold patch" and in most cases it lasts 1 month. I did not believe their job would be good quality, but I went ahead with their service and it has been one year. The driveway is still dark and the ramp to the garage is still all in one piece and not crumbling! I am very happily surprised by the quality of the materials they use. They are not cheaping out on Canadian Tire/WalMart or even Home Depot materials. The quality is #1 and their marketing skills and attitudes are #1. I know this business will continue to do well if they keep doing what they are doing. I am happy to see their hard work paying off with great reviews.

Driveway sealing

UPDATE: Photos of my driveway 2-3 weeks AFTER the sealing are now added. This is in response to Mike's reply to my initial review. I remain quite disappointed.

Sadly I am not sure that I feel I made the best choice.
On the positive side, Mike was incredibly pleasant, quick at organizing quotes and job dates, and very helpful with answering questions. He was punctual and did the job on the day as arranged. Despite leaving the drive for a longer than requested curing period, it still appears patchy, and a number of fine cracks have become more obvious than before. My rating is based on the most recent conversation with Mike, when he suggested I wait 2-3 weeks for the shine to fade, and reassures me it will look more even. Although I have completed the payment, he implied he will fix things if still not satisfied. If things improve as he says, then hopefully I will update this review.

Hi Vanita, it was discouraging to read your review. I treated your driveway with care and precision as I do every driveway I work on. I feel that when you requested our services you expected a different outcome. Maybe you didn’t understand how oil based asphalt sealing works? What puzzles me is that I informed you with everything that was necessary for a customer to know when I give a quote. I feel I made myself completely transparent with my approach.

I would like to address your concerns about the things you mentioned. CURING PROCESS & PATCHY: When a driveway is sealed with an oil based product it will be shinny and will appear to have a “wet look”. This is why you think you have more cracks than usual. Those small cracks were there before and in no way would my sealer create them. If that was the case I assure you nobody would want there driveway sealed. Furthermore, if it did create cracking in only 2 days then if your theory is correct then the asphalt should be massively damaged in a weeks time. Sorry but it doesn’t make logical sense. In regards to it “looking patchy” the reason for that is because your driveway has rough spots. The asphalt isn’t new so it’s not smooth. Wear and tear with aging is present. With it being shiny it shows more. When the driveway loses its shine (2-3 weeks) it will blend in.
CRACKS: When we spoke I told you that I would fill all major cracks. I did that. Since I didn’t have regular liquid crack filler I used a far more superior (trowel grade) crack filler. The cost for using that product would have been $35. I didn’t ask for payment. I did it willingly for free. I also gave you a free patch which would have cost $15. I also did that for free and mentioned to you that I was going to do it for free. With all respect I think you expected a different outcome with your driveway and in no way was that an error or fault on my part. I left that job knowing I did it the right way. I believe you have compared your driveway with a driveway I did down the street from you. The difference with both driveways is the one down the street was in excellent condition and never had only 3-4 small cracks on it. Maybe you thought yours would look like that? I am someone who always wants to make sure the customer is happy with my work. Please feel free to reach out to me in 3 weeks and I will gladly answer any follow up questions.

Driveway sealing Woodbridge

Mike was always quick to respond, polite, very clear with what he would do, and did exactly that. Warranted his services in case there were issues. What more can you want. Oh yea.. can't beat the price too. Feels like a new driveway again. We'll be working together again shortly if we move Mike!

Michael is the best! He was quick, efficient and did a wonderful job sealing our driveway. He powered through a massive Rogers phone outage where we couldn’t communicate logistics and showed up as promised. It was a seamless experience from beginning to end. Thank you Michael!
