I think we have used Stringer for our Glenview driveway since 1990 and have always had good experiences. Once they had to replace the driveway, but most years they just seal-coat it. This year Carlos did a great job for a very reasonable price. read more

When I first called I was told that Stringer was booked up, but they took my name in case an opening came up. A couple of weeks later, they called with an available spot. The workmen came on time and did their work quickly and neatly. Their charge increased by 32% since 2016 but inflation has increased less than 10% since then. This seems excessive. read more

Timely, professional, through (grass surrounding blacktop removed), polite. I have used them for many years and have never been disappointed. read more

Mike did a fantastic job and worked very hard to seal and recoat my driveway. Looks SO much better! Thanks so much! Very well priced for the quality too. read more

Stringer did a nice job on our driveway. They came when they said they would. They did get sealcoating on brick in a few places but did come back to clean up. Then there was pealing at a corner near the street. Initially, I was told it was due to the material not adhering to dirt underneath. However, when I looked carefully, I saw that there was asphalt under most of the peeled material. When I called again, Stringer arranged to come out while I was home, reviewed the problem with me and took care of it. I appreciated their responsiveness. read more

Tommie did a great job sealcoating our driveway. Work was done quickly and on time. Thank you!

Stringer Blacktop is the best. I have been using them for years at two locations. Their prices are very fair, they are reliable, and do an excellent job. And, unlike a lot of companies these days, they have excellent customer service. They want you to be satisfied, and act like it. read more

I had an appointment scheduled for 07-06-2020. I took a day off so I could follow their work because they did a terrible job last year. Guy showed up at 8:55 in the morning, he was sitting in the car for about an hour in front of my house. When I finally came out to ask him what he was waiting for, he told me there was too much work on my driveway and he has no desire to work in such hot weather!!! He jumped in the car and ran away. Everything was prepared, cars moved, driveway thoroughly cleaned. I called the company to ask for an explanation. The next day they called me back and said they were too busy now and would try to reschedule appointment. I am refused the offer. I can't believe that they are so unreliable and unprofessional. read more

The only people who have sealcoated my driveway over many years is Stringer. While I thought when I moved in that I would need a new driveway, this one has held up with their help for many long years. They are laid-back, and easy to deal with. I recommend them. read more

Stringer did a great job and Kenny was great. The driveway looks better and hopefully will last longer.

Because of the record rain in April and May Stringer Blacktop was understandable backed up on their jobs. Ken, who does the scheduling, always kept me informed if they would be able to work on any given day as they need at least 6 dry hours after the sealcoating. When they finally got a decent day they did my driveway. I have a large circular driveway that is crazed and in need of an expensive replacement that I am trying to salvage. When I called Ken after the sealcoating and said, despite the condition of my driveway, I had hoped for a better job on filling cracks they came back and did the whole job again for no additional charge. When part of the drive needed touchup Ken sent a guy out to take care of it. I am very pleased with the service and price from Stringer Blacktop and will definitely use and recommend them in the future. read more

We have used Stringer Blacktop Sealcoating for about 20 years. Highly recommend! Reliable, reasonable, excellent work, trustworthy over the years. Tommie was great! read more

I have to update my earlier review of "very average" to "really bad"! After two weeks of normal Chicago weather my driveway looks exactly the same as $135 ago. And now of course the owner who could not wait to schedule the job will not return my calls. My fellow Yelpers let me down on this one. read more

Excellent job done. Great communicators. Super reasonable price. Highly recommend them.

Been meaning to write this for a while now, i was very impressed with Stringer Blacktop and the work they did on our parking lot, what a difference. Jerry and his helper wear real nice and hardworking. Its a pleasure to pay someone for hardwork and to get a nice job. They work hard for their money i would highly recommend them, thank you. read more

I've hired Stringer several times to sealcoat our driveway. Each time I'm impressed with their availability, speed and quality. Truly, it was as good as it gets. read more

I have been using Stringer Blacktop Sealcoating for many years. I did not get the driveway sealcoated for the last three years and the driveway had some cracks and places where the blacktop sealcoating had worn off due to the years of use. This was just a lapse on my part. I called Stringer and they came out the very next day. The driveway looks like brand new again! You will get a professional job every time. I will never let another year (or three) go by again without calling Stringer. Thank you! read more

I used Stringer to sealcoat our blacktop driveway for the first time (our house and driveway were about a year old). They repaired the few minor cracks we had and did a flawless top sealcoating it. They use a mat finish that makes it look similar to repaved new asphalt (as opposed to the shiny paint-like finish that many other companies use). They were careful with the edges of the driveway, thorough, right on top, and finished the job quickly. I would highly, highly recommend them. read more

Called yesterday and left a VM message. Received a return phone call today and was told they were not able to come out for 9 days. When I mentioned I had company coming in a week and really needed it done soon, I was told "you should have called sooner". Well no kidding, but thanks for insulting a prospective customer rather than working with me to see if they could fit me in. Glenview and Wilmette are very close communities so my thinking calling them was I'm very close by. This guy was a major crab. No thank you! read more

I have been in property management and real estate for the last 5yrs. My condo association chose Stringer for our parking lot needs. We needed it sealcoated and striped. They came on Saturday and sealcoated the parking lot. I was out of town and was watching on my outdoor Nest camera and noticed they did NOT crack fill the parking lot AND were using a very cheap sealcoating product. I contacted them on Monday and informed them that their crew did not follow the contract we agreed upon and did not fill the cracks. The manager (Ken) said they would remedy the situation. They were supposed to come out on the following Monday and never showed up. I had to again call and follow up. On Tuesday they showed up. Guess what? They "crack filled" the lot but it had alresdy been sealcoated (this should have been done before seal coating). They then proceeded to line the parking lot with our preexisting parking spaces. The yellow lines now look as though a small child was finger painting. They're uneven not straight, and look ridiculous. Lastly, before servicing the lot they did not sweep and prep it properly. Thus, the lot has uneven coloring and you can tell the seal coating layer was put on top of debris. Overall, I received atrocious customer service from this company and they have shown absolutely no care. Guess what? They still expect full payment...avoid at all costs. read more

Since purchasing my home a few years ago I had several companies come out to perform the seal coat on my driveway. Needless to say they used inferior products that didn't last. The only good thing the other seal coating companies did was get rid of the weeds on my driveway. It is unfortunate that such a simple type of job cannot be done well. I am satisfied with Stringer Blacktop Sealcoating they performed nice patchwork and sealant I hope they keep their pricing competetive. read more

I attempted to contact Stringer with an online estimate form and got no response. After several days I decided to make a phone call. I got voicemail not an answering service. I eventually got a call back and requested an estimate. The price was satisfactory so I scheduled a day to have the work done. It rained that day so no one showed up. I never heard back from him as to when he would re schedule. I called again and re scheduled. They never came to seal my driveway and I did not even get a phone call. They should change the name to Stringer No Show Sealcoating. Very unprofessional operation. read more

Used these guys services for 7 years. Price went up by 85%, and quality went down - no more patching included in the price. It's time to look around... read more

After several reschedules due to rain, we had our driveway resurfaced yesterday. Will applied the blacktop sealer with a large hand brush that looks more like a giant windshield wiper around 4 feet wide. The end result was that in a little over an hour we had a smooth, sealed driveway that looks great. Will was professional, polite and on time. The office was timely in their communications with us and emailed us a fair estimate with clear and helpful information pertaining to the work. read more

Quick, professional and courteous service - top of there game. Freddy explained the entire process and was complete with my 6 car driveway in less than 1/2 hour. I recommend Stringer for your next Blacktop sealcoating job. read more

They came out promptly, did a great job at a great price. We purchased the house last summer and it was evident that the driveway was neglected for years. This was a fantastic investment. Thank you guys! read more

FIrst time I've needed sealcoating and decided to give Stringer a try. Very pleased with the process. We set a date about a week in advance. It was forecasted to rain when the day came, and I got a robo-call to cancel and reschedule that morning because the rain would damage the sealcoat. Someone called to setup a new date a day later and when I came back from work that day my 200 foot driveway was sealcoated and barricaded off. It looks like did a nice job prepping - the driveway looked clean, a splash block a forgot to put away was placed by my garage, and they even took down some weeds that were in the way. A couple small to moderate sized cracks were filled in - not perfectly, but good enough for me. The sealcoat was applied pretty precisely as well, right up to my house without getting on the walls. All in all, a totally painless process and my driveway looks almost brand new. As long as it holds up for the year, I'll definitely be using them again. read more
