Sealing Blacktop Driveways is hot, dirty work for the most part, so why would anyone want to do it for 30+ years?

Quite frankly, many of our customers ask us that very question. Well, we certainly do it for the money, but it's you our satisfied customer that get your driveway done year after year that keeps us going.

Moreover, Its your thank you, cold glass of water, on a hot summer day, your smile, your referral to your family and friends and we thank you.

Our team at Jim Reynolds Asphalt Contractor, Inc. are so fortunate to have such a great community of fans.

Why did I say fans? Because we are artists... we treat each job like artwork, painting a master piece, and our job is to make your asphalt driveway or business parking lot look beautiful so you will rave about it.

Back to the reason why we seal, hence, the main reason we do it is because we enjoy doing it!
