They arrived early on day way and completed the job on time doing a great job. Highly recommend!

So far so good. Very quick process. We watched the whole time. In a year, time will tell. Hopefully it will be good. The crew was professional. read more

This happened on 8/26/2024 at 3:30 pm. We were driving on 390 exiting at Lake street. The J&S driver went west on Lake Street. He was driving at an accelerated speed-on my tail-drove in the left lane on 390. He was dangerous and could have hurt and injured people with his recklessness. He should not be allowed to drive a vehicle that us a potential weapon. It was awful. I wouldn't do business with your company based on the behavior of this driver. read more

We widened our driveway with J&S. They were quick to respond. turn around was about two weeks from the time the measured until completion. Both crews were fast and meticulous in their work. The Quote provided was competitive and it was the price I paid. Thank you J&S! This will be a much better winter! read more

J&S Paving replaced my large asphalt driveway. This company has been the best experience that I've ever had with any home improvement. Their paving equipment is top notch and the crew doing the work is skilled and professional. I am extremely pleased with their pricing for a top-quality job. I am a somewhat critical person that has nothing but good things to say about J&S Paving - A+++++. I had three quotes, and J&S was the best price. They quoted the proper thickness on their quote. Make sure you compare apples to apples when looking at quotes. One of the other companies quoted me a bare minimum thickness for a residential driveway for about the same price.

Outstanding company to work with from the office to their road crews. They returned my call for a small job where others never did. We could be more pleased with their work. We would highly recommend them. read more

We called for a quote and were surprised to find one dropped on our doorstep the very next day. Now, this sounds like amazing service but the weird thing was that no one ever called me back or even knocked on the door. I was at home that day but never heard or saw anyone. They simply came by unannounced and dropped a quote on my door without ever bothering to meet us and ask what we needed. I didn't just need my current driveway redone, I needed it widened. This company gave us by far the lowest quote, but with no personal contact made, frankly we were concerned that the same "get in, get out" attitude might show up in their work so we were not comfortable hiring them. I can't personally speak to their quality of work because I haven't experienced that, but I feel their sales/customer service could use some improvement if my experience is a common one. read more

Not the cheapest contractor but you get exactly what you are paying for. They were on time for both estimate and actual job, super professional attitude, attention to details. The driveway looks like new after 3 years - no sagging, no cracking. Would recommend to anyone. read more

J&S did a pretty good job when I hired them. They were able to finish in one day which was awesome and they gave me a very competitive price. However a year later when I was trying to get it sealcoated, two separate seal coaters told me that the paving company did not do a great job with the aggregate. So this caused some problems with the initial seal coat. I would maybe use them in the future but just pay attention to how it is laid down. read more

Sounds silly but I have been looking forward to replacing my driveway for years. J & S provided a fair quote and were extremely easy to work with. Of course we had issues with inspection but they worked through it, problem solved and came up with a great solution. Everything went smoothly and they were always on time with whatever schedule we set. Driveway looks great. Thank you! read more

This is the second driveway we purchased from J&S. My daughter's in South Elgin and our in Bartlett just laid yesterday. Both driveways look really good. Great communication throughout the project, reasonable price. On Monday they prepped the driveway and called me that it was going to be $515 more to dig some hard clay out at the end of the driveway. Don't they have machines for this digging? The price sounded too high. We were less than 20 minutes away and headed over there as soon as the call ended. We got there and there was no one there. So, sad to say but it sounds suspicious that $515 worth of problem clay was removed and everything perfect in 20 minutes. The driveway was prepped and ready for it to be inspected by the village Tuesday and the asphalt laid on Wednesday. We told the inspector about this and he said J&S is very reputable and the inspection passed. But I'm writing this so if it happens to a lot of other people who are not on the property at the time, people should be aware. read more

We needed our driveway done and heard about J&S paving through a friend. They were highly recommended by the village. They came and gave us a free and prompt estimate. It was quick and the owner was nice and professional. Overall, would go with them again in the future . read more

Had our driveway done by J&S. The quality of the work is pretty good. I would say that the end price was not close to what was quoted. If that is ok with you, you'll be fine. read more

Im a new homeowner and have never had to maintain a driveway before so I really didnt know what I was doing. I got about 10 different quotes and am glad I chose J&S. I had my entire driveway torn out and replaced and added a small addition. They responded quickly and answered all my questions. They came out right away and provided me with a very reasonable quote that clearly explained what was included and what would be done, as well as references and proof of insurance. My appt was set for about a month out and I was nervous with all the rain we had that it would get pushed back, but no. Their team showed up early, got the job done fast and didnt leave a mess. The driveway looks awesome and I will definitely be using this company in the future to seal and maintain my new drive. Prompt, friendly and honest. read more

Very professional crew, had my driveway done the price was very competitive , and could not be happier.

Terrible experience. I needed a new driveway for a garage project. I initially sent in a sketch of my intended driveway location and they quoted based on the sketch. The location of the driveway crosses a drainage slope and partially overlaps an utility easement with a buried telephone cable (per JULIE marking). This driveway also needed a culvert pipe underneath, so there are some complications involved. After receiving the quote, throughout the planning phase, I called J&S several times to request an on-site visit to better understand how the construction needs to be done and if any adjustment is needed. The lady kept pushing it off and said it's too early and was in general impatient in answering questions of a dumb inexperienced home owner. Around middle of October (near end of construction season), I finally had the garage concrete pad framed and she now agreed to come out. From the start of the visit, it was nothing but negativity. Concrete crew left us too much dirt to remove, you need a retaining wall next to the driveway and it needs to be put up before the driveway can go in (which turned out not true), and she also asked what happens in the event they hit the telephone cable when excavating. She questioned if the phone cable was high voltage and if her crew would get electrocuted and who will pay for the repair if that were to happen. She then said I might need a permit for the retaining wall and I better get that done first before the driveway. I was stunned with all these issues and didn't know what to say at the time. She quickly left without even inspecting or discussing the rest of the driveway construction. She said she was going out of town and may be able to come back in a couple days with her partner. I called a couple days later and she did not answer or return the call. I took the time to call AT&T and they were a bit surprised about the questions. They told me how deep they typically bury the cable and if someone were to hit the cable it would be billed to the digger (in this case J&S) but they should have insurance. They also indicated phone cables are signal level and not high voltage. They were puzzled that a professional driveway company would asked these questions. AT&T indicated all these types of companies should know how to dig around cables, that any company that puts up this much fuss is probably not worth their salt. I finally got a hold of her a few days later told her about the phone line situation and that we are not digging as deep as the phone line are buried and if they should hit it, they should have insurance to cover it. Get this, so now she says it's not fair for her to bear the risk and have to pay the insurance deductible and if I, the homeowner, would be willing to bear the liability. I didn't think my homeowner's insurance would cover such situation so I said I would need to think about this and call her back. After this point, she did not pick up any more of my calls. Keep in mind this is middle of October and I now have to start my search for a new driveway contractor all over. It was difficult, most companies at that time were struggling to finish up the jobs they still had open and were not taking more projects. Luckily, after calling about 30 (yes I kid you not) companies, I was able to find a few that were willing to quote and take on the project. This time I insisted that they come out and physically inspect the site before quoting. Their prices almost doubled that of J&S (no change of plan). I asked if it would have been lower earlier in the summer, they indicated no, it did not fluctuate that much from earlier in the season. The amount of material needed simply added up to the required amount. By the way, all these companies said they dig around cables all the time and have no issues with it. It became clear to me then. J&S most likely low bid the project and because they refused to come out for an onsite review of the land layout, they did not anticipate the amount of material or work needed. When she finally saw the layout, instead of offering solutions and indicate the cost would be affected, the technique was to put up obstacles and raising issues to delay and wear away time until I finally give up and go away. Luckily, the company that I eventually selected to do the project did a great job and now I have an awesome driveway and sure enough, we were above the cable. But I wanted to put the experience out there. If you have a plain Jane project with no complications to consider, J&S may ok but if you have anything that might require some amount of difficulty, don't count on them to be willing to take on the liability or be willing to work with you to devise a solution. They certainly don't seem to care about leaving you holding the bag out in the cold and bailing out on you. read more

I had an AWESOME!! experience with this company and its personnel . The service was excellent, Management, and employees were attentive to my needs and concerns, about the look and residual effects of a finished job. Service was on time, payment process was straight forward, and the guarantee, future concerns, or work warranty was always reassured with an open phone call. The presentation of a professional & competent work ethic were always apparent. I have recommended this company to my family & friends, and a few coworkers. read more

I had high hopes with this company because of the review and the nice person on the phone. But they couldnt even quote the job the way that i asked. I will move my business else where, and so should you. read more

I had a really good experience with j&s . I received 2 quotes. Damico Paving was a couple hundred dollars less so we picked them. Bad mistake they kept promising to show up to repave our driveway two months later they finally showed up yea...not so fast. They're slick talking salesman Brad informed me I need a new base for an addl $1000 dollars while the trucks and equipment were waiting at the curb to get started. I told Brad to beat it. Scammer Brad could have cared less. I contacted j&s that day. They set up a day and time held to their original quote and did an awesome job...Highly recommended Btw I did not need a $1000 base as SCAMMER Brad told me I did...Beware read more

Great service! They did our driveway and it looks great. Very informative and answered all my questions. Price was better than most.

Highly recommend! Quick response when contacted them for a quote, answered all questions, crew did a great job!

Needed to have our driveway replaced. J&S gave us a bid promptly. When I went to the village to get a permit, the woman told me they never have any issues with J&S not following the village regulations. The crew was here at 7am. Answered all my questions. The crew did a fantastic job. Driveway looks great and look forward to parking on it for many years. read more

Called this company twice and left a message for them to seal my driveway. They never returned my call. I suspect they have no time for residential jobs read more

I had to replace a driveway at a rental property in Elgin, so I got about a half dozen bids and ended up going with J&S. For the record, J&S does asphalt, not concrete, as most companies that do one don't do the other. Anyways, they were among the most professional (their written bid included a cover letter, reference sheet, certificate of insurance, and BBB certificate which is more than I can say for any bid I've ever gotten from any contractor I've ever hired) and at the same time the least expensive. They started and finished work in a timely fashion, and when the job became extra work once the can of worms that is an old concrete driveway was opened, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of the additional charge. Imagine that: A contractor calls and says, "We ran into a problem - this is going to take some extra work," so you begin crapping your pants but immediately get to stop because it's not that bad. I wish that happened more. Hopefully I won't need them again anytime soon, but I highly recommend J&S. read more

Love my new driveway! Valerie was great to work with and Steve (project manager) got the job done in a timely fashion - even with the rainy weather! Very professional. So glad I found them! read more

I had a new driveway put in by this company because it was required by my homeowners association. The woman was extremely unprofessional and never returned my phone calls. I had to call her numerous times to figure out all the necessary information that she should have provided us. We paid the guys after the job was done and the following morning a lady showed up banging on our front door at 7:30 demanding payment. read more

We had J&S put in a new asphalt drive that was uneven, had standing water when rained, had roll marks, divots/sinking in areas that have weight (i.e. 25 lb rocking chair/bench) and 6 months later had cracks. I called Val (the owner) and she would not fix. read more

Stay far away from doing any business with these people. They may give the best quote, but you pay what you get for. The workers here were completely disrespectful of our belongings in our garage and took it amongst themselves to move a freezer in my garage and had my pumpkins rolling around my garage so they could access my water valve to fill their machine. Which they were also using my water (on my dime) for other people's driveways as well. Did not ask me if any of this was okay. My garage was completely soaked by water and then I notice that the water from their machine got into the motor of the new freezer we had just bought two weeks prior and fried the motor. Needless to say, it was broken! Never been so mad in my life and the attitude from the driver of the machine was shocking when I asked him why they were using my water, he replied, we need it for my machine to roll on the driveways, why is that a problem? All snotty. I said well yes, it is cause look at my garage, I would of moved these things, had I known and he said he would blow it dry with a leaf blower. I then closed my garage because I had enough of the nonsense. And that was when I noticed they broke the brand new freezer and water damage to Christmas decorations I had in the garage. Do not do business with these people!!! read more
