Asphalt Engineering

Asphalt Engineering, LLC is a Bellingham, Massachusetts paving company that works on residential driveways, commercial and municipal lots, and the drainage and grading that goes underneath them. It holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 205966, verified active with the registry under the company's own name, and has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2010 with an A+ grade. What customers describe most often is the estimate and the prep. Reviewers write about multi-page quotes with photos, sketches and dimensions — a 2021 customer who took two bids said the other contractor sent two paragraphs — and about crews that tear out the old surface, correct the pitch for water runoff and install a graded base before the binder and top coat go down. Named foremen recur across years of reviews: Chris, Alex, Tim, Dennis, Rickie, Christian. Several customers describe a two-visit sequence, prep then paving, with both crews arriving when promised. Drainage work comes up repeatedly and is worth knowing about: reviewers describe dry wells installed, downspouts piped in, driveways widened, and grading corrected so water drains away from the house. In April 2013 a local news profile said the company had then been working in Wrentham and most of Massachusetts for about nine years, and in November 2021 it donated labour and materials with another firm to repave the Bellingham VFW lot. The complaints cluster in two places, and both are recent. Sealcoating is the first: a 2026 reviewer says the finish came out uneven with crack filling that was not properly levelled, and another says the work was subcontracted out on the day and did not match what was sold. Scheduling is the second: a 2026 two-star reviewer describes repeated weather-unrelated reschedules and delays of more than two months across two separate jobs three years apart, and a three-star reviewer reports erosion within a year plus promises made at the time of sale that were not followed through. On BBB, all three of the most recent customer reviews shown are complaints, including one that ended in small-claims court after payment was withheld. For a new driveway from a company with a verified registration and a long, deep review record, this is a serious operator. If you are hiring for sealcoating specifically, or you need the work done in a fixed window, put the application method, the schedule and the warranty terms in writing and confirm who will actually be on site.
