I hired JRH Asphalt/Paving to resurface my Mom's paved driveway (about 2,000 sf) in Skillman, NJ. In short, they did a great job! I got a quote from Jimmie at JRH Asphalt/Paving last year, but Mom didn't want to do it for various reasons. The quote was no pressure and reasonable. I got a lot of confidence from speaking with the owner (Jimmie) who would also be the person supervising the job (he has been in the asphalt business since a little kid - ask him the story - it's cute!) After a year and her health better, Mom agreed to resurface her 50+ year old driveway. Jimmie and his crew (of 6?) came on-time and did the job in less than a half day (he kept me up-to-date via text with the arrival time). Being a former Director of Operations for a large firm, I can appreciate how well he executed this project. I was impressed with his crew's attention to detail, specifically the edging the was done (soil and grass over the years tend to creep onto existing driveway - all of that was scraped back). I was also pleasantly surprised with all the equipment brought in to do the job - this is a "smallish" family owned business, but you'd never know that all the big pieces of equipment and trucks/trailers he uses (he actually owns a lot more equipment that what he brought to this jobsite). I appreciated how his crew used a flame thrower to kill the weeds growing up thru the existing cracks. Lastly, I like how he minimized a drainage problem at the bottom of her driveway. If I were to give a helpful hint to others about this process, it is to check every 15 minutes or so on the day of the project. You'd be surprised and impressed how much work goes into laying asphalt. My mother and I are very pleased with her "new" driveway. I even created a time-lapse video of the project (3.5 hours of work in 3.5 minutes of video - ask Jimmie for the link on YouTube). I would absolutely recommend JRH Asphalt/Paving to others! read more

JRH has been an EPIC waste of time to deal with-- I have wasted 6 weeks with them. I should have not bothered when they missed the first 2 quote appts with me. But after speaking with the woman, I felt better and decided to stick with them. They promised me the quote 4 times since speaking with them and bc we are in such great need of it for insurance to keep the claim open (we had a tree fall and cause damage to the driveway) I continued on with them. And now they have ghosted me for over an week. Hell of a business model. What a WASTE of my time and I am actually worse off since even starting a conversation with them bc their lies of telling me the quote would come the next day have delayed my progress in trying to put this tree damage situation behind us. read more

I do not recommend them, these guys demolished my old driveway, we accepted without objection, they quoted $ 18500 but advancing the work they changed to $ 20000 last spring of 2021, and all the construction failed, but many parts were poorly done, being left with so many failures, they hid in the ground, wet and that would come at the end of summer 2021, but they never answered the calls and messages, the last time the owner spoke to me, I treat myself with a very bad attitude with verbal threats, and that he would solve in spring 2022, but now in spring, he does not answer messages and ignores my calls, the work is totally degraded, and I have to get another contractor to repair and cover the multiple shortcomings that this company left. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM, THIS COMPANY DECEIVES YOU, takes your money and vanishes... they are a danger and a headache beware... No los recomiendo, estos chicos demolieron mi antiguo camino de entrada, aceptamos sin objeción, ellos cotizaron $18500 pero avanzando la obra cambiaron a $20000 el año pasado primavera de 2021, y toda la construcción falló, pero muchas partes quedaron mal hechas, al quedar con tantas fallas, se escudaron en el terreno, húmedo y que vendrían al final del verano 2021, pero nunca contestaron las llamadas y los mensajes, la ultima vez que me hablo el dueño, me trato con muy mala actitud con amenazas verbales, y que el resolvería en primavera del 2022, pero ahora en primavera, no me contesta mensajes e ignora mis llamadas, el trabajo esta totalmente degradado, y me toca conseguir otro contratista para que resane y cubra las multiples falencias que esta empresa dejo. NO LOS RECOMIENDO, ESTA EMPRESA TE ENGAÑA, toma tu dinero y se esfuma...son un peligro y un dolor de cabeza tengan cuidado... read more

JRH Asphalt did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price on our driveway in Flemington. It needed work badly. We had gotten various quotes over the past few years and finally went with Jim. He was great to work with and explained the job thoroughly and got it done in a timely manner. I can tell you that price isn't always the bottom line - the quality of the work and the materials used makes a big difference! I would highly recommend Jim and his team! read more

Jim and his crew are incredible. I requested a quote for a new paved driveway and Jim called me himself to explain the scope of work and pricing. He is very accommodating, responsive,transparent and it's clear that he is very proud of the work they do. They are very skilled and experience and completed my project with ease. They pitched the driveway perfectly to direct all water away from my house. They got me on the schedule extremely quickly, showed up on time, and were very knowledgeable and professional. They treated my driveway as if it were their own and wanted everything to be perfect. It is clear that they are the best at what they do and I would recommend them to anyone looking for these services. read more

We contracted with JRH Paving for an overlay repave of our driveway in August 2019. The job cost $3600, covered 2100 sq. ft. and came with a two year warranty. The two years will expire this coming August. Within six months of installation, multiple large cracks across the entire width of the driveway developed. At that time we spoke to Jim Harrison and described the problem. He told us his asphalt supplier had modified the formulation of the asphalt and this was causing similar problems with other clients. He promised he would return within three weeks and fix the problem, even adding a complementary sealcoating to make it right. We never heard from him again. We have made 20-30 calls to his business and personal numbers, often getting a recording and sometimes reaching a woman. She assures us she will relay the message and Jim will get right back to us. Last week I emailed him to say I would be complaining to BBB since he shows an A+ BBB rating on his website. I have not gotten a response. I would advise people to not fall for low ball estimates from unscrupulous contractors, With all the choices out there, why not choose to do business with someone that honors their commitments. Anyone but JRH. read more

I don't know how this went down, but I called JRH Asphalt last year based on a recommendation from a friend, and the job was apparently sub-contracted out to an affiliated business, Productive Asphalt (Mark Harrison). Well, here I am 8 months later and the job was started but never completed, and my phone calls are not being returned. Very unfortunately, I can't speak to the quality of JRH's work but I am pretty cheesed that my project got subbed out by them without me being told. read more

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience with JRH Paving. They did a good job on the main section of the driveway however not the bottom. The bottom is now unevenly pitched causing cars to bottom out when they exit and enter the driveway. This didn't happen before their involvement. While the contract provides a 2 year warranty, they haven't honored it nor attempted to fix it. Be careful and do your research before hiring. read more

Needed a driveway and walkway at my house in Hillsborough NJ. Got multiple quotes and Jim's was in the middle. He was one of the few that took time to brainstorm with me on the best design AND quoted me a 3.5 inch asphalt layer AFTER its compressed. Other companies quoted 2 to 3 inches. He did the job in 3 days and HE was the one making sure my driveway was graded properly so rain fell away from my house. Well I waited to post this review after the last 3 days of heavy rain and everything is perfect! I love my driveway and Techo Bloc walkway! read more

I had a gravel driveway that was full of ruts and low spots that caused all kinds of drainage problems. JRH showed up exactly when they said they would, stripped the entire driveway and put in a brand new asphalt driveway. But they didn't just spread out the asphalt, roll it and leave. They were meticulous in making sure the pitch was right, water testing the drive continuously to make sure the water ran out exactly the way it should. Jim and his crew are excellent!! read more
