AA Asphalting

I woke up to very loud construction noise before 8 AM on Presidents Day. I walked down and spoke with «Kyle,» who stated that he was in charge. When I asked whether he was aware that regulations prohibit construction noise prior to 9 AM on a legal holiday, he said that he was. He laughed me off when I took pictures to document a DPD complaint, and continued the LOUD work of pounding down patches in the street. This company has no respect for laws and regulations, or for neighbors that they disturb when they break the laws and regulations.

I was very impressed with AA Asphalting. I had multiple companies come out for a bid on a driveway apron (the easement in front of the property and part of the driveway). The guy who came out was prompt, courteous, and got me a quote via email in a day. Most of these guys can’t even be bothered to show up on time, much less be nice about it (like they are doing you the favor!).
The bid was slightly higher than other quotes, but they were very clear as to the scope of the job and I have seen their trucks repeatedly in our Shoreline neighborhood and took that as a good sign.
I signed the contract and they emailed me a day they scheduled to come out and asked if it was good for me, which it was (a Friday). The Saturday before the scheduled work, the job foreman (Aaron) came out and inspected the site thoroughly so there would be no surprises on the project. He was friendly and took serious all of my requests and concerns.
Friday, they showed up promptly at 8:00 and worked non-​stop on the job until it was completed around 4:00.
They had a huge crew with many different machines and you can tell they really cared about getting the job done well and completely. All of the guys looked professional and were courteous when I asked them a question, or needed to get out of the driveway. All of their equipment is clean and looks like they invest a lot in it. The foreman was present pretty much the whole time.
I had one issue with the asphalt: There were a few spots where the rocks were a little more exposed and there were gaps where the rocks may come loose. I saw a spot near the driveway and pointed it out to the foreman. I asked why this was and he said that the density of the asphalt load varies from their provider. ***The important part is that even though this was a trivial issue, they spent the time necessary to fix the couple of spots without complaint and were very nice about it.***
Whoever runs this company knows what’s important to their customers!

The only reason this company is getting this rating is because Mandy who came out to put no parking signs up at our location was very helpful and cooperative especially when we were not going to be able to use our driveway.
Otherwise this company was frustrating. Blocked our street parking for a week, then never showed. Took down the signs and re put them up a week later blocking parking again. Then after the job they dumped something in our bushes leaving a concrete residue that after rain still isn’t gone. Concrete reside down poured down the sidewalk after they dumped it. The worst– they left concrete rubbish and rockery in the side grass area. Don’t use this company!
