I feel bad that I am just now posting this review! I was reminded yesterday by one of our condo owners, at a building in Snohomish where I have my business, that our experience with and results from Economy Asphalt were over the top! We had an eruption of water and clay in the middle of our back parking lot in January that Joseph and his team were able to quickly excavate, refill and repave a large area to prevent further eruptions. The building HOA will be using them again soon to complete repaving the lot. Great work and fairly priced!
As president of a cul de sac homeowner's association, the time arrived for me to gain support to seal coat and fill cracks in the development's private road. An investment of this size always brings significant scrutiny. Joseph was extremely helpful in answering my neighbors' questions and concerns prior to their approving the project. He was extremely helpful scheduling mutually acceptable time for the project. After his very professional crew completed the work, Joseph's exemplary customer service to finalize with some minor touch-up was most impressive. I give Economy Asphalt & Concrete my highest recommendation.
We just had our driveway asphalted today, Joseph gave us a great bid and they went above and beyond our expectations. They were early, took extra time to go over the work they did. They also recommended some work on the side of the driveway and took care of that in the same day. All the workers were professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
I would recommend Economy Asphalt to anyone & everyone! There service was prompt, their communication was fantastic and they went ABOVE & BEYOND what I expected. They poured a concrete floor in my garage & my barn and built a gravel driveway. I got bids from a few companies before I hired them and they were the most affordable of my quotes. I made a few last minute changes and they were able to to accommodate me with no problem. It's refreshing to find a company that is dependable, skilled and affordable. You won't be disappointed.
Joseph and his team did an excellent job replacing our asphalt driveway with concrete and paving our weed infested parking strip. They were communicative, efficient and did fantastic work. I would recommend to anyone looking for concrete and/or asphalt work.
We had our driveway redone by Economy and was extremely pleased with the result. We found few companies that did both concrete and asphalt. Of those that did, not all use rebar in concrete (which was a must for me). This was definitely an expensive project, but they not only came in at the lowest bid, but I was most pleased with their service and what they offered compared to others, so it was a no brainer!
There is a reason these guys get 5 Stars over and over. Why? A++ work and an honest fair price. Joseph ( Estimator/Co-owner) is the details guy, very professional and actually shows up when he says he will!! Wow! What a concept. Nice guy and no sales talk. Measures the yardage and gives you an actual honest price. When they come out, the crew is methodical in how they pave your driveway. So surgical. The quality of the work is top notch. Nobody is rushing or cutting any corners. The asphalt laid was THICK too. They hammered through 6 straight hours and finished the job early. It was amazing. They leave your property exactly as they found it. Worth every single penny. Really great price, (remember paving ain't cheap!) and a final product of ultra high quality. Get an estimate 2 months prior to when you want your project to be done. These guys are busy! Would recommend them to anyone all day long. Thanks Joseph and crew!!
They were very thoughtful and took pride in their work . Very easy to deal with and I would recommend them.
They were professional and on time. They keep working until they finish the work. I was so happy with their work and my driveway looks great. They are honest cooperative and easy to work with.
Great asplhalt, detailed and great quality work, the staff is very professional and they really know their stuff. Recomend 110%
My experience with Economy Asphalt was outstanding in all respects. Joseph was on time for the estimate and provided a detailed email describing the work required along with photos. The actual job had to be delayed for several weeks due to weather, during which time Joseph kept regular contact with me. When the date was set, again Joseph and his crew were right on time and did a fantastic job. When they left there was not a trace of their presence, other than an amazing looking driveway. I would not hesitate to use Economy Asphalt again.
Second time doing business with the company and i am very pleased they are Awesome and honest with excellent work and integrity,
Simply the best. I needed my driveway to be repaved, with an area that needed to be regraded because of a new drain. Joseph, Abi and their crew did a phenomenal job; the driveway is as smooth as a runway and looks so good that we were hesitant to drive over it for the first two days.
Joseph and crew at Economy Asphalt & Coating did an excellent job on our 1,100 Sq Ft driveway at our West Seattle residence! We have a slight incline at the entry to our driveway, and he and his team worked hard to get the slope graded correctly. Now we will be able to maneuver our vehicles into the driveway from the street easily and without scraping. Their expertise was evident in every step of this asphalt job. They also did a nice job of joining the driveway to the street. We would most definitely recommend Economy Asphalt & Coating to anyone looking to pave a driveway or do an asphalt project.
Economy asphalt is a great company to work with, Joseph and his crew did a fantastic job. Really Thank you Jos.
Hi Joe Thanks again for completing another project on time, and on budget. In the last 7 years you have never let me down! You have a great team.
Excellent experience with Economy Asphalt, I wanted to do an upgrade on my back yard and their quality of their work was outstanding. Great costumer service by the whole crew. They were on time and keep me posted on everything.
Joseph and his hard working crew were great. Outstanding quality of word and product. Very pleased with results.
Economy Asphalt is a great company to work with! We recently had our very steep driveway paved and Joseph and his crew did a beautiful job. Joseph was very clear when he walked us through each aspect of this project. And before starting the driveway, he supervised and worked with the crew on a concrete pad in front of the house. We also made some last minute changes that went smoothly. The price was very reasonable compared to other bids we received. Good price and top quality!
Very professional and friendly to work with. Just had a driveway asphalt paved by them. After the work is done i contacted them for a small spot that I want them to check. They responded to my call right away and came out to meet with me to check on the work and explain the how the work was done.
Very professional and hard working! Cement sidewalk and patio look amazing! Thank you!
Common Questions
Potholes are prevalent in Seattle due to several factors:
- Frequent rain and moisture that seeps into pavement cracks
- Occasional freeze-thaw cycles in winter
- Heavy traffic, especially in urban areas
- Aging infrastructure in some parts of the city These conditions combine to accelerate pavement deterioration and pothole formation.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) aims to repair reported potholes within 3 business days, weather permitting. However, during peak pothole seasons (typically late winter and early spring), response times may be longer due to high volume of reports.
Common methods include:
- Cold patch for temporary repairs, especially in wet conditions
- Hot mix asphalt for more permanent repairs during drier weather
- Spray injection patching, which can be effective in various weather conditions The method chosen often depends on the weather, severity of the pothole, and available resources.
The lifespan of a pothole repair in Seattle can vary greatly depending on the repair method, traffic volume, and weather conditions. Temporary cold patch repairs might last a few weeks to a few months, while proper hot mix repairs can last several years with good drainage and maintenance.
Yes, pothole repairs can be done year-round in Seattle, including during the rainy season. However, wet conditions can affect the durability of repairs. Crews often use specialized materials and techniques, such as cold mix asphalt or spray injection patching, that can be applied in wet conditions for temporary fixes until more permanent repairs can be made in drier weather.
Seattle residents can report potholes through several channels:
- Use the Find It, Fix It mobile app
- Call the Pothole and Street Repair hotline at (206) 386-1218
- Report online through the SDOT website
- Use Seattle’s Customer Service Bureau at (206) 684-2489
The property owner is responsible for maintaining and repairing potholes in private parking lots, driveways, and private roads. The city of Seattle only repairs potholes on public streets and roads under its jurisdiction.
Seattle is open to innovative solutions for road maintenance. Some newer methods being used or considered include:
- Recycled plastic materials mixed with asphalt for more durable repairs
- Infrared asphalt repair technology for longer-lasting patches
- Preventative maintenance techniques to reduce pothole formation
- Data-driven approaches to predict and prevent potholes before they form
