W Stanley Asphalt Services

Nobody has written publicly about what it is like to hire W Stanley Asphalt Services. Its BBB profile carries no reviews, no complaints and no rating, and there is no customer account anywhere else — so everything below is either the company's own description or a matter of record. The record part: the BBB lists the Middleboro business as a sole proprietorship with two employees, a business start date of March 1987 and 39 years in business, with Bill Stanley Sr. as owner and sole contact, a second location on Everett Street, and the alternate name Asphalt Services. In its own words, the company paves driveways, parking lots and roadways for residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers, using its own equipment, and also does seal coating, striping, excavation, stone and gravel work, and pipe and drain repairs. It says it has led in asphalt work since the early 1980s, that it is family-owned, and that the owners stay on site to check the work. Its own site dates the company to the early 1980s while the BBB records a 1987 start. A long-running local paving outfit with no written track record to read is a call you make on references, not reputation. Ask for addresses of driveways or lots they paved nearby, ask what base preparation and drainage the quote includes, and get the price and schedule in writing.
