We have hired Charles Smith in the past for asphalt work and were happy with the job. We just had him do a job again after a heavy 6 axle dump truck [Not His] used our driveway without permission buckled the asphalt and are pleased with how the new asphalt turned out. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Charles in the future if needed and he's easy to work with and does answer his phone or calls back in a timely manner if you leave a voicemail.

Charles had done my parents driveway nearly ten years back. It's still in incredible shape today. I had a gravel driveway that was in desperate need of attention. Water was pooling up pretty badly near the garage and surrounding area. Charles and his team were hard working, paid attention to detail and, very obviously, took pride in their work. The driveway now drains beautifully and looks amazing. I've gotten dozens of compliments from friends, family and neighbors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
