Description of Work: sealcoat my driveway

Description of Work: They were hired to sealcoat my driveway. They advertise that they use a water-base sealcoat. Although I explained in detail that I wanted my pavers and bricks, etc.protected by painter's tape or trim boards from sealcoat this was not done. Brandy, the owner's wife, explained that any sealcoat deposited on those aforementioned items accidentally would be cleaned or removed promptly. She further stated that because of the water-base sealcoat removal would be easy if any was accidentally deposited. | |HOMEOWNERS BEWARE. On the day of this application, the two workers did not do anything to protect those areas. When I realized that sealcoat was on areas that it should not have been, I asked the workers to clean it off. I was at a disadvantage asking them inasmuch as one did not speak any English at all and the other one only bits and pieces. After some time of trying to communicate my concerns, the one worker who spoke bits and pieces of English went to his truck and got some paper towels and tried to wipe the sealcoat off where it should not have been. That effort did not remove anything. | |These workers were, obviously, trained to push the mop-type applicator and not trained to tape-off or use trim boards to protect areas where sealcoat should not touch. |This company does not stand behind its word and uses workers that cannot even communicate in English or speak very little and understand even less. | |Prior to using this company to sealcoat my driveway, the companies I used prior adhered to taping off the areas so that sealcoat would not be where it should not have been, plus their workers spoke and understood English. |I called Brandy, the owner's wife, about clean-up, but to this day she has ignored that request and no corrective action has been taken. | |In addition, the sealcoat was applied so thinly that it was not a good job. The charge was more than adequate but the job was not professional period. | |Don't be influenced by their ad of water-base sealcoat. They use inexperienced laborers,obviously, that apply the sealcoat so thin that the job was not a good one. This company does not care about your property, only their profit margin, as evidenced by the employees they hire and the thin application of sealcoat, and their lack of response to remove the sealcoat deposited where it should not be. They were paid good money to do a good job, and that was not done. | |
