## The honest read

A-1 Paving & Junk Removal is a driveway sealcoating and crack-filling business run by Pedro, and it holds a 4.9-star rating from 48 ratings on both Angi and HomeAdvisor.

A 2021 customer said Pedro and his sons cut the grass back off the driveway, cleaned it with a blower, filled all the cracks with liquid tar and put down paper tape against the stone walls, brick walkway and house before applying the sealcoat. That 2021 customer said Pedro squeegeed the sealcoat at their request instead of spraying it. A 2020 customer wrote that Pedro and his crew filled cracks, then did the walk and driveway with squeegees, and that Pedro came within a couple of days of quoting. A 2020 customer who had a driveway sealcoated said Pedro cleared the edges, filled the cracks, squeegeed the hot sealer and taped off edges around stairs, walls and garage doors.

A 2018 customer said they got four estimates and Pedro's was the most expensive by $60, and that they chose him because he and his team manually brush and squeegee the sealant rather than spray it on. A 2020 customer who needed a driveway patch and seal said Pedro showed up the next day for the estimate and charged about 10% more than a bigger local company. A 2020 customer said they received a written estimate the next day and the work was done within the next two days. A 2024 customer wrote that the people Pedro had with him were good hard workers, on time, cleaned up after and were very polite.

A 2020 customer said Pedro was a little more expensive than their other quotes but felt it was worth the extra money. A 2017 customer thought they went a little thin on the filling for the larger cracks.

**Strengths:**
- Hand-applied sealcoat — a 2018 customer chose them for brushing, not spraying
- Careful prep work — a 2021 customer described cleaning, crack filling and taping first
- Next-day estimate — a 2020 customer said Pedro came the next day

**Concerns:**
- Thin crack filling — a 2017 customer thought larger cracks were filled thin
- Higher quote — a 2020 customer said Pedro was a little more expensive
