United Pavement Maintenance

In another review, I said they broke the French drain. They did not do that but they did a whole lot of other really stupid things They removed the first 2 feet of a brick pathway and put river rock there instead who even does that and why??? who steps over river rock to get to the front of their house? They took all of the river rock out of a 20‘ x 1‘ erosion control ditch, took out the weed suppression cloth, threw it away, Filled up this ditch with dirt some of which came from 7 feet inside my yard & put a few rocks on the top. They had river rock left over so they decided to throw it all over my flower bed. As they were digging up dirt from 7 feet in my yard they broke our drip irrigation in two places and hacked up a bunch of flowers growing for the spring. When they threw the river rock in my garden they killed a significant portion of the flowers growing there. To cover their tracks digging 7 feet into our yard. They reconnected the obsolete overhead system to my drip line system when they were doing so they found a piece of broken PVC so they decided to just throw it into my bushes real classy. You can’t even throw garbage away in the right spot. They thought they’d broken a sprinkler head 6 feet into my property as they were digging out dirt (illegally)so, to cover their a****,they went down to the hardware store bought a new sprinkler headand put a new overhead sprinkler in. I’ve removed all of the overhead sprinklers, and we only use drip. I had to fix the irrigation myself because it’s getting dry and my plants would’ve died. Unfortunately there’s another leak down by the sidewalk still down deep in the dirt somewhere when I turn on the irrigation, it turns into a swamp by the sidewalk. They blocked my 78-year-old tenant in her home for three weeks. They falsely claimed they sent her two warning letters. She is not a slouch. She has a PhD and teaches online for San Jose State university. She literally could not leave her house because she had no brick pathway to walk down nor could she get her car out of the garage. She had to order groceries and takeout food online for three weeks and could not get into her friends car because she couldn’t walk down the rocky and broken up driveway or broken up sidewalk I would never suggest you hire this company until they answer for all of these problems. This review remains. When I met with a rep from UPM, he looked at me and said what proof do you have that we did any of this? In all of my 67 years on this planet nothing like this is ever happened to my garden! To suggest that we don’t know who did it is absolutely absurd. I’ve been waiting five weeks for the city of Stockton to hold this company accountable. If you live in the city is Stockton be very suspicious of the public works department go straight over their heads to a woman called Rosie Alvarez. Don’t waste your time with the junior engineers. It’s a lesson you learn in kindergarten fix what you broke. put things away in the right spot put your big boy pants on grow up. Admit your mistake. Apologize and fix it.

Did service as promised. Repaired cracks and put on new asphalt.

I saw the United Pavement Maintenance truck at a local gas station. It had its license number and info printed on the side, so I approached the driver and asked if he was the owner or a service individual for the paving company. He replied that he was the owner, so I told him what I needed and asked if I could make an appointment. He told me to call his office and speak with his staff to schedule a free quote. The owner, Rodolfo (Rudy) Rubalcava showed up on time for the estimate. He submitted a bid in a timely manner (within a few days of the service call to see the driveway!). I agreed to have the work done, and he showed up with a contract, per a follow-up appointment. We had the work done over a weekend. Rudy and two employees showed up exactly when they said they would early on a Friday morning. They performed the patch work. They cordoned off the area to traffic and marked it well. They returned on schedule on Saturday to lay down the seal. They returned the following Monday to paint traffic lines and mark parking spaces and handicapped access. The owner and his staff were courteous, punctual, efficient, and did a great job on our project! The only reason I gave a and quot;Band quot; on the Quality score is because, a year later, the dips and flaws (unevenness) in the driveway are visible again. The handicapped space also has an uneven surface on which the parking bumper was placed. Rudy did return to bolster up the block, but it sits on a little built-up mound of blacktop, instead of on a flat surface. However, I do qualify the work on the driveway as and quot;A GREAT JOBand quot; because I did not hire United Pavement Maintenance to re-pave or grade the surface. I hired the company to only seal the driveway. There are no weeds popping up through cracks in the work, so I did receive well-done work on the service for which I contracted.
