Family Values pointed us to 3 goals - the best quality product for our customers, the best work environment for our employees and the best paving company in Minneapolis. We continually learn and strive to fulfill these goals. Today we pave millions of square feet per year using company-owned, state-of-the-art paving equipment and the talent to use it.
The Minneapolis asphalt paving experts at ACT Asphalt Specialties specialize in a wide range of asphalt paving services, as well as maintenance and repair of asphalt surfaces, curbs and drains. Our professional asphalt contractors know that proper installation and maintenance of your asphalt project remains vital to extending the life of the surface.
Customer service is very important to us, and we want to make the process as convenient and easy as possible. We will get back to you in a few days to discuss your request. For the best assessment of your needs, please attach a photo. This allows us to better determine your request and provides us with a visual of your needs.
Your driveway can last up to 20 years if given the proper asphalt or concrete maintenance. However, if your driveway is reaching the end of its lifespan or you notice significant damage, it may be time to give us a call. We are an experienced driveway paving contractor dedicated to offering the best service for our customers.
As one of the top concrete paving contractors Minneapolis has to offer, we understand the importance of good quality concrete aprons. Concrete aprons are necessary when concrete needs to change grade. You have probably noticed the "slant" at the beginning of a driveway, garage, or where a sidewalk meets a street.

Highly recommend these Folks. After 10 years their warranty had nearly elapsed, but they were honorable enough to stand behind their warranty and come out and repaired an asphalt job that was really not their fault but more the nature of my driveway. Regardless they did the most honorable thing and came out and repaired it. (Just cracking around the edges that needed back filling with dirt.) HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR FOR ANY SERVICES THEY OFFER. They are to be trusted and used !

Asphalt Specialties did a fantastic job replacing our driveway. Mitch Minnig is really a pleasure to work with and keeps his word. They do a very nice job and if there is any oversight they come back and fix it without question. Would recommend them without reservations.

Demo and rebuild retaining wall. Demo and re-install asphalt driveway. Install new concrete patio in the back yard. All communications were very professional. Prep, set-up and install of all were completed in just over a weeks time. Better warranty than competitors. Overall excellent experience. Cottage Grove, MN.

DO Not use this company. Our project was a new driveway, a garage apron, sidewalk with front step and a block retaining wall. First thing was the retaining wall. I rented a metal detector to find the marker and marked it for them. They still put the wall on the neighbors property and then argued with me that it was fine. They did finally move it. Next was the concrete work. First of all I came home to find they poured the concrete not on the day they where scheduled to do it so I had no way into my house. We only have 2 doors into our home 1 front door with new concrete step and a patio door in

I had a very similar experience as Melinda's post. Delays, excuses, more delays and excuses. Then it was the last possible day due to impending cold weather and they did a so-so job, with seams and poor cosmetics. Now 2 years later, the driveway has a couple of issues that need to be addressed (including a crack across the entire width) yet they won't come out at all. I was told I would "have to wait until next year... I can put you down on the list for next spring, since we stop servicing past customers after Labor Day." Incredible that they would treat their best customers

Contracted with ACT Asphalt Specialties Co for a driveway replacement. The end result looks great! But the road getting there was a bit bumpy.
The office and/or paving crew had poor communication and would pass blame around when I was not notified that crews were coming.
Our driveway was torn up for an entire month (9/14 to 10/14) due to rain delays and a failed first attempt at laying asphalt.
Their sales documentation stresses that a dry base is essential for laying down a good driveway. Despite torrential rainfall a day prior, they attempted to pave my driveway, only to call it quits once

We recently had our sidewalk and driveway replaced by Asphalt Specialties very satisfied with the final product. Every time they scheduled a stage of the work needed to be done they were always on time and sometimes earlier. Our sales person Joe was always there when we had questions and when the city inspector needed us to expose the property pins he took care of that. Great company to work with would definitely refer to others.

**This is a 2 part review. My wife and I were both negativity impacted by this company so they are getting 2 reviews.

We have had so many issues with this company that I don't even know where to begin. We agreed to work with ACT on 8/2/18. As part of the agreement, we sent them a check for $3,475. Within a week of sending them the check, they cashed it & held onto our money for over a month before even beginning to work on our new driveway on 9/18/18. After tearing up our old driveway, there were a lot of days where it rained & so the driveway installation was pushed back until 9

After building a second garage on my property I needed to rip out my old driveway and replace with a new wider asphalt driveway. My experience with Asphalt Specialties was fantastic. The sales rep worked with me regarding my concerns, needs, and the budget I was working with. He did not try to oversell me on anything and came up with helpful suggestions on getting the right end result I needed within my budget. I ended up hiring them to build a retaining wall as well as part of the project and they did a great job on it. I have done a lot of remodeling/construction the past 5 years. I will say

So far, very unhappy. They finished my job minutes before a huge rainstorm. They covered the concrete, but poorly, so it got poured on before it could cure. There are several spots with obvious damage. In addition, the sealant or whatever they put on top was just slapped on, and looks terrible. I and my wife both left several messages with the office, none of which were returned. My salesman was very responsive, but he said it would be at least 10-12 days before someone could come out and look at it. Apparently they only have one person who is able to do that, and I am not high enough on the priority
