S & S Asphalt Paving, Inc.

I'm in the middle of having S&S redo my driveway which was built in the 1960's and was in dire need of replacement.

Their estimator came out discussed the project with me, we talked about the process, he made some recommendations, they sounded great to me, he gave me a quote on the spot and he left, telling me that S&S would be in touch to give me a date for the project. I had planned to get other estimates but between recommendations from friends, the fact that many towns around here use S&S, and my confidence in the estimator, I cancelled the other estimates and just went with S&S. I'm sure they aren't the lowest priced paving contractors but I think it's worth it to pay a bit more and have confidence that the job will be done right.

They came yesterday and the crew was very friendly, highly skilled, and they all worked together like a choreographed ballet. I've always appreciated skilled work and S&S is a very professional and highly skilled outfit.

The removal of our old driveway took the excavator about 2 hours, filling two large dump trucks with asphalt debris (which is recycled into new base layer). Then the excavator dug down further, pulling out some rather large boulders, and filled two more dump trucks with debris and old base layer. Then two dump trucks arrived on cue with new base layer and the excavator spread it out. As it was being rolled, another dump truck came with top soil and the excavator spread that on his tracks (rubberized tracks) and areas around the driveway that were dug out.

All of this before lunch!

Then another crew came, the concrete crew and they dug out and formed up what will be a drain in front of our garage. The concrete for that drain was poured this morning.

The entire driveway will be graded and then paved in the coming week(s).

I'm quite confident writing this review before the job is done that the grading and paving will be handled in as professional a way as everything so far. I'll certainly come back to edit it if I have things to add but I'm extremely pleased with the work S&S is doing and I have absolutely no reservations about recommending them for any paving job.

Update: I'm writing this in in mid January and the new driveway is incredible. The paving job was perfect and remains perfect even after ice and snow and oil trucks and more. I remain delighted with the work S&S did and I highly recommend them for any paving job.
