Do not ever do business with this company. Let me tell you a brief story to give you an idea of the kind of people you are dealing with here: These guys knocked on my 85 yr. old father's door and told him they were working on a job down the street and had an extra load of asphalt. They told him he would get a "great deal" because it was left over. To begin with my Fathers driveway did not need to be repaved. He is 85 yrs old and has very poor eyesight and a difficult time even walking to the door to greet the scammer. So the scum bags talked him into repaving the driveway that didn’t need any work and didn't even give him a quote on the cost. Just told him he was getting a "good deal". He got a good deal OK. So they bought the truck over, did no preparation to the existing surface and dumped the asphalt onto the drive. In some places as thick as 5" so that they did not even complete 1/3 of his driveway. They billed him $9,300 and then told him if he wanted the rest completed it would be another $15,000 or so. Nice of them to give him a quote on the remainder of the drive. So he now has a drive that is now 1/3 completed with 1" to 2" rises where the new asphalt starts and finishes in the portion of the drive that is only partially newly paved. I tried calling these ripoffs and received no call back. If you want to be ripped off give them a call. Otherwise stay away. My next step will be to call NEWS Channel 8 to see if they are interested in doing a story on this kind of taking advantage of the elderly. Don't go near these low lives and keep an eye out for the story on the News. Their sales slogan is “Customer satisfaction is out #1 goal” it should read more like “Ripping off elderly people is our way of business”.
