Nice Job Learned a few things
While the new asphalt driveway we had installed is not perfect, it is 95% better than what we had. Aesthetically the drive looks very nice with a few exceptions. There are a few cuts in areas that are not symmetrical side to side, but not awful. There are a few uneven spots in the driveway, as well as at the bottom, that puddle a bit of water that could not be seen when the job was being done. Also, not awful. Then there are two areas along the sidewalk where water puddles which will be a problem for ice when the time comes. I mentioned this to Drew when the job was being done and he said it was because the sidewalk had sunk a bit. I thought, well maybe, let me see it when everything is settled and wait for rain. Well, it's not that at all. It's because the asphalt is raised over the lip of the sidewalk in those areas which then collects water. The sidewalk was never flat to the stone driveway we had previously so I blame myself for not making a point of that to Drew before the job. But then again, in my opinion, the asphalt should not be over the lip of the sidewalk in some areas and not others. In other words, make it even or lower the asphalt along the sidewalk to avoid any puddling.
This is not to give a bad review. It is to point out details that others may not think about when looking to do a project like this. Drew has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was very polite, interesting in conversation and followed through on everything. The crew worked VERY WELL together, very efficient. They left us nothing to have to clean up which was a big plus. Drew and both of Mickey's sons, who were also very engaging with us about the job, were on the job on work day . Several neighbors have made nice comments on the driveway as well as several others stopping in their cars to admire, make comments and take a picture of the sign in the yard, so hopefully more jobs were created for Mickey's Asphalt. I did give a good word for those that asked me about Mickey's service.
Overall, we are happy with the job. Price was reasonable.
