Update- not so happy. Having Fasco Asphalt Paving do our driveway - so excited!

**Update: we had to put off getting the driveway paved for several weeks due to other work being done at my house. We called last week to say we were now ready for the paving (hoping to have it done before my sons birthday party on the 19th of this month). We were told the last time we postponed that it might not be as quick as they work on school lots now). Turns out we are expected to wait 4 weeks now. My husband tried talking with the office and asked to speak with the boss as he was getting nowhere with the scheduler. She refused to give a number and when he asked for a call back from someone else, she refused that and eventually hung up on my husband. Poor customer service.

Just wanted to edit as I raved about fasco but my experience now is no longer positive. ***

After getting quotes from 5 different companies, we hired Fasco Asphalt Paving to completely redo our driveway. Thought I would share how happy we are so far since I did all of my research on lifamilies when deciding who to call for estimates.

I received many different estimates, and Fasco was one of the lowest. Mike showed up and was personable, polite and had many great ideas. (There was one other company I called who had a similar estimate but I disliked the sales pitch/pushiness of the owner). Where other companies wanted to give us belgian blocks along the driveway, mike said he could do pavers along the driveway for the same price. Best yet, we can have the work started within a week, compared to others who said a few weeks. I feel 100% confident in our choice and am so excited for it to get done! We are widening to a two car driveway. :)

Will post a follow up once work is started and completed.

Fasco contact info:
Michael Sottile Office 631 544-4066
Cell 631 988-0404

Edited to add that when I said we would sign on the spot if the price was right and would leave a deposit, I was told a deposit was not necessary. I know I just read today where somebody was unhappy with a company they hired and wish they hadn't left a deposit, thought it was worth adding Fasco didn't require one.

we used them 7 years ago and my driveway with pavers still looks great.

ETA: We planned on doing the belgium blocks around the driveway just because but mike had some really good ideas and suggested teh pavers. Then we have a sloped property so they had to put a small "retaining wall" 3 bricks high at hte end of my driveway.

used Fasco at my first house about 13 years ago. They were great - and the driveway still looks perfect.

Good to know for when we can afford to redo our driveway!
