Get matched with top driveway sealcoating pros in Orange Lake, FL

"The owner Paul came to our house, promised us a great job and no matter what even if the work was not right he would make it right. The first day his crew showed up around 11 am. Soon after we realized we possibly made a mistake by seeing his broken down equipment which was the main truck to put down the asphalt which had to be towed with the skid steer because it did not run And appeared to have Out of date Arkansas plates on it. The guys on the job worked until midnight and the owner Paul did not provide any food or drink for his people in the scorching Florida heat. We fed and provided the drinks. Paul and his wife showed up at midnight to receive their payment not giving us a chance to really see the driveway in the light. The next day we realized the issues. There was a large hump near the garage, and at the end by the road plus parts were not at 8 ft. Edges were very thin and Also they were supposed to trim the edges and clean up the asphalt that was left over. It was a mess. It is very bumpy. We called the owner Paul and he said he could not reach any of his people and that the asphalt factories were closed so he could not send anyone to fix our driveway. We agreed to wait. Approximately 2 weeks later a crew with homeless people that are not skilled workers showed up around noon without the proper equipment and William the homeowner had to use his tractor to break up the asphalt to get ready for the new asphalt. The new asphalt sat in the truck for about 6 hours because the proper equipment was not here for them to do the work. Apparently when the equipment was on the way the truck towing it had broke down. Once again they worked into the night about 2am and a patch of asphalt is not setting up properly and is lower than the original. So we have a new driveway less than a month old with patches. After contacting the owner about our displeasure he accepts no responsibilities for his business and hasn’t even been over to evaluate the situation himself. I gave the company a chance to fix. I don’t believe it can be fixed 100% due to the fact that Paul does not have enough skilled workers or the equipment to get it done. I now have to find someone else to help me get it fixed properly."

"Went well"

"Great Job was done."

"Took the deposit and refuses to return it: Signed a contact with Florida Crete in anticipation of permits being granted for a lanai extension. Unfortunately the approval process for a 2 foot variance took much longer than expected and ultimately was denied. I attempted to contact company for several weeks to recover my deposit with no call back…After calling from a different phone number (seems they were screening my call), finally got a hold of Ruben, who indicated that the deposit would not be returned because “it has been more than 30 days since I signed the contract.” Now I have to go through small claims to recover both my deposit and the small claims filing fees instead of just dealing with Florida Crete directly. Attempted to give deposit in good faith and kept Florida Crete updated of the status of the permit applications on a weekly basis; never was I told there was an expiration date on the deposit (and is not written in our contract). More of a hassle than anything else to file all of the small claims paperwork, and speaks to how Florida Crete does business."

"Professional and top notch equipment"

"Great service and will be hiring them again to perform additional modifications to my landscaping."

"Due to improper initial installation, a "swim spa" at the house we bought several years ago was sinking. I contacted APD in July and their response was immediate. Joe of APD made a personal visit and gave a detailed explanation of the process his company would use to stabilize the spa. He also advised of any possible concerns. A reasonable price was also provided. We had full confidence in Joe and APD. However, shortly after his visit, a storm caused significant additional damage to the spa and we were forced to go in a different direction and have the spa removed. I would recommend APD, their concern and response was swift and very professional."

"Southern Brothers did a wonderful, very professional job. They put in a patio, and a dog run (artificial grass) for us. The workmanship is excellent. They were on-time, responsible, a pleasure to work with. They are a little more expensive than most, but the quality is very good. My only issue is: make sure you get exact quotes for additional work after the initial bid."
