Modern Paving

One morning in April Samuel Stanley (Sam) of Modern Paving knocked on our door and asked us about our driveway, which was visibly in terrible need of repair. The Modern Paving crew was in our neighborhood, and Sam’s job is to keep his men working in one area as much as possible. While initially hesitant of the process, redoing and widening our driveway was a desire of mine for the past few years, so I heard Sam out. He slowly and clearly explained the process: that would completely rip up the old driveway, excavate the new area to make it wider, level the entire area, pour a thick layer of asphalt, and level it with his rollers in both directions so as to better compact the seal. He also assured us that he would lay asphalt right up to our stone-​paver walkway and flower beds, so that it would lock in the stones and make it look like it was always there. He also then guaranteed that his crew would be done by 5pm. Still somewhat skeptical, I took a ride past my neighbors house (whose driveway his crew was currently working on), and his crew was following the procedure he described. Upon returning home and discussing it with my wife, we decided to go for it. Sam worked with us on the final price that was mutually acceptable to both parties. Having had the finished product for well over two-​months now, my wife and I are truly happy with the job! The driveway looks beautiful, smoothly transitions to our stone-​walkway and is plenty wide for our two cars. Months later we still get compliments on how the job looks. Moreover, there are no cracks, divots, etc., and even if there were, he guaranteed the work for a year. Also, the crew started the job at noon, and they were done at 3:30pm — it was pretty amazing! We stayed off the driveway for a full week (7 days) after it was laid down, and have had no problems with it. We are very thankful and happy we went with Sam and Modern Paving. In fact, his work was so good and done so efficiently, my wife asked him if he and his crew do kitchen remodels too!
