"It was an absolute pleasure meeting, and doing business with you...Thanks for the terrific review! -Dominic"
"Thanks for the great review! I think it should be noted that you share your driveway with your neighbor, who entrusted you to choose a contractor. That neighbor did not do his research, resulting in his dissatisfaction after the job was completed. He verbally abused both of us in person... then submitted the only negative review I have from an actual customer. All through the ordeal, you acted like a gentleman, and kept your cool... my compliments to you, sir! Thank you for the business, and for your review. doing business with you was my pleasure! -Dominic"
"We are the highest rated contractor in the area, but its not because we always get it right the first time... its because we ALWAYS make it right in the end! Thanks for the great review... it was truly my pleasure! -Dominic"
"Its really a great thing to do business with a customer who recognizes value. Someone once told me "poor quality workmanship will haunt you long after the thrill of a cheap price has faded.". Being a homeowner myself, i can definitely say that is truth! Thanks for the great review... it was my pleasure! -Dominic"
"Terrific review, thanks so much! -Dominic"
"It is unfortunate that you hired some guy who knocked on your door to pave your driveway. He did a terrible job... then, you went to Angies List to hire a reputable contractor like me. The problem is that you didnt want to do the job correctly (due to cost), and asked me to fix someone else's mistakes on a thin budget. Its a common situation that almost always leads to customer dissatisfaction... even after my careful, slightly long winded description of the proposed work. I even gave you $1,800.00 worth of completely free services without you even having to ask!!! We went FAR above the call of duty on this project... I'm very sorry you don't recognize that. -Dominic"
"Great review... I worked hard for this 1! Initially, I assumed you wanted a heavier duty product, and I priced it accordingly. After some negotiations we realized that the initial spec was a bit overkill. As a result, we were able to provide you with the right product to fit your budget. Thanks for your patience, and persistence... it was my pleasure, sir!"
Also, his crew used a product from SEARS that says on the can "do not dilute." I watched as he and his crew diluted the product with some other liquid before they poured the diluted product into a big container on his truck so that the product could be sprayed on through a hose.
"Doing business with you has been like my own personal episode of Jerry Springer. During our time together I observed you: 1. insisting that I overcharge your neighbors to pay more than their fair share, because quote: "they never pay for nothing!" 2. Dropping 5 F bombs in front of your neighbours children (yes, I counted!). 3. Gave your neighbor the task of hiring a contractor for the shared driveway, and then berated them by repeatedly saying: "how could you hire a contractor with bad online reviews?!” You are the first bad review from a customer in my 4 years with Angies List! 4. Listened to me explain for 40 minutes that the product that YOU chose would not fill the cracks you had in your driveway, then had your wife call me after the job was completed to tell me that you quote: "did not understand". 5. You were very obviously annoyed as I took too long in explaining the different products that I offer, and barely listened to anything I had to say before the job was done. Then, in typical bad consumer fashion, you perform a Google search after the job was completed, and suddenly acquired more knowledge about my industry than I have gained in 26 years of business. It's a shame that I met your neighbors before meeting you, because if I had met you first, there is no way that we would have done business. Shortly after we met, it became very clear to me that I was being drug into your little "neighbor war". You wanted the driveway repaved... one of your neighbors just wanted to seal coat... and your other neighbor wanted to do nothing. I'm sure that your anger issues have interfered with your communication with them about this project, so its no big surprise that you are unsatisfied. BTW… we do not buy any materials from Sears, nor do we dilute our product. Your credibility level is zero… your a liar, and a thief! I am not the only contractor who has had these issues with you either!-Dominic"
"If you did not like my price... why did you contract with me?"
Dominic came out the following week and completed the work on the scheduled day and time. There were a lot of cracks that needed to be filled which he worked with me on the price. My driveway now looks beautiful.
":) Reviews like this are what I live for! It was my pleasure doing business with you, sir... Thanks for everything! -Dominic"
"Thanks for the terrific review! We have done driveways for you, and 6 of your neighbors over the last couple of weeks, and everyone has been very kind. Thanks for the business!"
Dominic was very professional, he answered all our questions and readily admitted that we could definitely get a better price but the quality would not be the same. He mentioned oil based sealant versus water based sealant. I was also hesitant because we had a very small driveway, perhaps too small for his company, but he said this was the perfect time to do these kind of jobs.
We scheduled a date and when that date came around --my wife went into labor! Dominic was still able to handle it and as I called him from the hospital and he took care of all the misc things such as moving things off the driveway in order to complete the work.
The finished product was excellent, aesthetically pleasing and all within a 1 day turnaround. His price reflects the final product.
"You have put a permanent smile on my face today, thank you :) ! What a great review... these are so important to me, and my business. It is satisfying to know that my team, and I have performed a job well done. Congrats on the new family member! The new driveway may serve as a safe place for him/her to play (my kids use my driveway to display their artwork). It has been my pleasure doing business with you. If you have any questions at all, you have my number. Thanks for everything! -Dominic"
It could not have been any better! Dominic is very professional and very good at explaining what needs to be done, and laying out the various options for the customer; from the start, my neighbor and I (who share the driveway and parking area) were very confident that we'd made the right choice. His workers were extremely competent, professional and polite, and the finished job was absolutely beautiful. I have to admit that I approached this project with a lot of trepidation, having had NO previous experience with paving, but Dominic made it all go smooth as silk and a very pleasant experience. He and his crew deserve 10 stars! The driveway and parking area are absolutely beautiful, and the price was very reasonable for the amount and quality of work that was done. This company gets my highest recommendation--they are TOP NOTCH in every way! Trust me, if you need paving, you cannot go wrong with Dominic's Paving!
"Woweeee!!! Where do I start! Ok... 1st off... I think you, and I are simply like minded people (which always makes for a smooth business experience). You are analytical, and I appreciated that, as I am a bit long winded when it comes to explaining my thoughts of how the project should be tackled. I believe that a well informed customer is a happy customer. Believe it, or not... some people ask too few questions about what is usually a big expense, and then are caught by surprise when the finished project does not match the vision in their heads. You were very easy to talk to, but your hospitality is what really hit it home for me, and my crew. The pie you baked me (that's right Angie's List... she baked me a pie!) was delicious! My family, and crew devoured it! So, here is my AL review of you: 5 stars out of 5, and 2 thumbs up! Thank you for the experience, and your business... It was truly my pleasure! -Dominic"
They put the base layer down and had to wait a few days for it to dry, for it rained.
He returned when he said he would and completed the job.
I have recommended him to my church to repave our church driveway.
"Doing business with people like you makes a very stressful business like this sooooo much easier! Thanks for your business, and the great review... It was my pleasure!"
"Sorry, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, but your husband was a gentleman. Thanks for your business... greatly appreciated!"
"Thank You!"
"Very nice review! I did enjoy doing business with you. It was easy for me to speak freely during our conversations, and take off my "business hat" at moments which was quite refreshing. I'm very satisfied to have pleased you, as I know you are not easily impressed! Thanks for the business, and the kind words!"
"Thanks for the good review, and your business!"
ADDENDUM 5/31/14: After the driveway began to show spots where the sealant may not have adhered properly, we called Dominic and he came back right away. Explained that the marks we were seeing were normal from tire wear but redid the whole job anyway, at no cost!! Dominic is a prince! You can't go wrong with him! Guys/companies like him are almost impossible to find!!
"These sort of reviews really keep me going... great job! I enjoyed meeting you and your wife very much, and I am glad to have been of service! Thank you, sir."
"Thanks for the great review. It was a pleasure meeting you, and your husband!"
"An overall rating of "B" is a failing grade for me, but thanks for the mostly positive review."
"Great review, thanks!"
"Thanks for the great review... very much appreciated! -Dominic"
Dominic did the driveway and I am so very happy with it. I have had countless neighbors stop by for his name and number. This project has been years in the making for me but something more important always got in the way.
I rarely write reviews but you will not go wrong with Dominic. He gets it!
Thank you Dominic to you and your team for a most excellent job!!!

"Wow... just wow! Unbelievably nice review! It was truly a pleasure doing business with you. I knew that this project was very important to you, and that you were a bit nervous in the beginning about it. We talked about it ALOT! I have been in business for 20 years now, and still stress about every project, but especially when I know how important it is to the customer. I feel a great sense of pride (corny... I know) when I deliver. I'm so glad you like it! Also, thank you for being so generous. My guys enjoyed the Chipotle lunch that I got them with your act of kindness! -Dominic"
"Sometimes all thats needed is a small repair. Your driveway was done right when the house was built, and will last a very long time with the correct maintenance. I am lucky enough to not have to hit a "home run" at every bat... if ya know what I mean! Thanks for the great review... It was my pleasure! -Dominic"
