J Pips Paving Reviews

Check references! A good job is in the prep which you won't see when the job is done but the driveway will fail much sooner when done wrong. And check references of driveways that are at least one Winter old.
The above suggestions are excellent (getting three estimates, and checking references.) We have used Scenic Paving in LV for both driveways and been very pleased. Harrington in LV is very good as well. Both companies have been around a long time. Good luck in your research!
Actually looking at having my driveway done as well. I share a driveway with my neighbor who recently received 3 estimates. Has anyone heard of Cole Paving? Apparently they gave the best price. My main issue with them right now is, I have called many times to try and speak with someone regarding the estimate, and have yet to actually speak with someone. Any words of wisdom for someone who really doesn't even want to spend the money to have the driveway done...?!?!
Hicks did ours 3 years ago and srill looks good. Full pull up and removal of the old one and repave. Did a great job, good price and came back to seal it 6 months later. Most quotes i got were within 500 of each other except one that came in 3k higher
Used Scenic. They were slightly less than Harrington. I also liked that they stripped off the old driveway, added stone where needed, rolled it, and then let it sit for a week to let rain firm it up before paving it. Ours is five years old and holding up great.
Whoever you decide to use make sure they put down a good amount stone first and compress it. Make sure its included in their estimate. I had an outfit stop by my house one day claiming they had leftover material and asked if I wanted anything done at a low price. Stupid me I watched as they put down a small amount of stone and reshuffled what stone was on the driveway already and then they paved over it. A month later a friend stopped by and parked his pickup truck in the driveway. When he left several hours later, there were divets where the tires sat. Had to have it all done again later. I had to learn the hard way.
One thing that is happening with asphalt this year is ground water pressure. Once the cold started the water had knowwhere to go but up through the asphalt even if it was done correctly. Water and frozen water will always find the easiest route to escape.
Does anyone have a phone # for scenic paving, or know if they're still in business? They're not listed in the phone book and have no web site. Need to get my driveway repaved. So far the only numbers I've been able to come up with (that were recommended in previous posts) are Layman's and Harrington. I know Harrington is going to be expensive and Layman's hasn't called back yet. I'd like to get 3 estimates anyway. Thanks.
Thanks GC I did the google search but the Hillside NJ address threw me off. I thought they were in Long Valley. They also have different phone numbers now but they are 908 numbers so maybe they just moved their yard to Hillside. Thanks again.
I'm going to need to have my driveway redone in the relatively near future.
I moved in when the house was 4-5 years old and about a year later I started to notice a crack. Then it spread. Then more cracks. Every year.
I don't know what a driveway costs, but if I have it repaved and notice cracks in another 4-5 years I will not be happy.
Considering looking into concrete or maybe cobble.
We used hicks paving and were pleased with price and service. @ josh if you are concerned with cracking the concrete will be no positive alternative. Pavers while more expensive would probably be one of the few alternatives that you may stay away from cracks.
Apparently Scenic paving in Long Valley is retired or semi-retired. I talked to Scenic paving in Hillside NJ and Patrick said they were cousins or something of the LV Scenic. It seems all the positive reviews on HL were for the LV scenic. Has anybody used or heard anything about the Hillside NJ Scenic Paving?
Hicks did ours several years ago ..they did it before we had rain after assuring me it would be ok. Well the rain splattered all the asphalt onto my white garage doors and then one of the younger workers said that my garage door already had the black on it . They eventually cleaned the bathroom doors.
Stymie, What's the issue with Harrington? I got an estimate from them and am considering them. The company seems very professional. Some have said they are expensive, but I'm hoping in this case you get what you pay for.
Just do the reverse scam. Find 3 of your neighbors that want driveways and you can get a great deal if you do them all at the same time.
It's not really a "scam" but it worked well for a group of us.
I used All Image Asphalt. They were the company I found when I was searching for Layman's last year and discovered that the owner had died & they were now closed. I had my old asphalt completely removed and a new driveway installed for less than $5800.00 last June. Nice job. Done in basically half a day.
Liberty and Lonesome... to give a perspective could you guess an average square foot for the prices you had gotten? Thanks!
Also on a bit of different note ..does anyone know if blacktop driveways are taxed? I would think not but covering all bases...
I definitely recommend Noce's. They weren't the cheapest and they weren't the most expensive out of the estimates we got, but after speaking with Jon about the scope of the job (tear out old parking pad, replace and expand size) we knew they were the "right" company to go with. His approach to the project made me feel like they were committed to doing the job right and not just doing it quick.
Keep in mind that he's quoting you a price for thickness but he will be paying the plant by the ton. Did he quote you 3" compacted? If so, they should be laying and rolling 4" loose and the guy on the screed should be checking that thickness with the "ski pole" regularly.
I ended up using Hicks Paving last year for my driveway. They are a family run business and did an excellent job at a fair price. They removed all the old driveway, added stone, and put down a minimum of 4 inches compacted to 3. Some areas were slightly more to make it nice and level. No low spots or puddles when it rains. They also had a money mailer add for 5% off the job maybe they still do.
You have to be very careful paving over an existing drive. If the base is not up to snuff, then you will pay the price. Blacktop will "reflect" any imperfections underneath it. Meaning any dips or imperfections will eventually show up on top. If everything is only minor then you shouldn't have any issues.
Noces ! still waiting for the sealer to dry . tar all over my house and clothes and dog from a sealer cover job done 2 months ago. And they have been back once to fix the problem that is not fixed. keep looking.
Noces done me three times over the years, all good. Did sealing and repairs, all spotless. Keep calling, I would be surprised if they can't make this right for you, or better at least. But keep calling, they are pretty good at responding, but this is their season, it is short, they may be making up for last year, --- they should make it right.
I did have some sizeable cracks and they apply a crack filler that is flexible and therefore can move, but I have yet to have it adhere to things like feet and tires, although it has moved and I can see tire tracks. I could see if this was a big crack and near your entrance, there could be problems. But whether I do it myself or have others do it, it goes with the fix and I would rather have have something flexible to stop ice from breaking up the driveway faster. Then again, I have never tracked it anywhere.
Nope, overall great service, great guys, will have them back.
I did call Noces to repair their first unsatisfactory job . Jon returned to see the problem sent men soon after he reviewed the work that had already been done. My problem is the second try at the job did not solve my initial problem either. I'm not sure about a third try to seal my driveway this is not a complicated job for a paving and driveway sealing company that specializes in driveway paving and sealing.
