Central Asphalt, Inc.

Central Asphalt has been a high quality company for decades. While road construction employees can be given a bad rap and be a little coarse sometimes, the can be a bit touchy because the nature of the work is sometimes tiring and challenging. But the quality of their paving work is top-notch. Had a semi-circular driveway paved over 15 years ago, and the quality of the work has held up well, despite the harsh Michigan weather. Finally, I live about 4 blocks north of the plant, and witness daily the improvement in air quality brought about through regular updating their emissions control equipment. Central Asphalt for me always!

Central Asphalt is NOT a pleasant neighbor to have here in Mt Pleasant! Both the noise and stench are substantial and affect our entire neighborhood, about 1 mile northeast. You can hear and smell them as well through most of Chipp-A-Waters park, so we don't walk there anymore. It's bad enough to give you a headache and make you cough. Hot mix asphalt production produces pollutants including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and asphalt fume. We can't enjoy our yard or open our windows for fresh air when they're operational, and they're open 6 days a week. Their trucks leave the plant and travel north on Bradley, spewing the stench along the entire neighborhood from Remus to Pickard St. We hope they're at least using the best pollution control equipment to reduce their emissions and their impact on the health of we their neighbors. They need to do everyone a solid and move farther away from the city!

Outstanding business, quality workmanship and fast friendly service. Highly recommend.

We had our rather large residential driveway paved by Central Asphalt and they by far exceeded our expectations! Anyone we communicated with while planning the project was knowledgeable & professional, and the onsite crew was very friendly & helpful, too. We are SO happy with the finished project and the service we received!

Good material and equipment, but the crew was abusive, used strong and foul language, and unresponsive to service requests while on-site. There are better contractors out there.
