***BEWARE***SCAMMER*** He conned me out of $1,750.00. He came in August 2020 and took 50% of my money right away. He said he would come back to do the job the following week but he never showed up. He kept throwing excuses at us, such as that his mother is sick and that is truck is at the shop. I had to keep chasing this guy down for months. He even cursed me out and called me rude and obnoxious when I asked him about a refund. He said numerous extremely RUDE remarks about me and hung up the phone. This guy shows up immediately for the estimate and to pick up the money, but once he has your $$$, he'll never come back. I took vacation time off from work and he never showed up. An absolute waste of my time and completely aggravating. It's clear that I'm not the only one he has scammed. I hope I save someone from hiring him. ***HE'S A SCAMMER AND A LIAR***DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM***

Terrible! We paid frank to do a 3 “ recap of my driveway and an extension. Where the extension was done he didn’t use the proper amount of material and it sunk within the first month. The driveway is wavy and not straight. Almost the recap was at most 1 1/2 “ and placed so thin at the top It’s crumbling and I can see the old driveway. After the first weeks I called frank and brought up my concerns and he said it was all warrantied and he would fix. Yeah right, I have chase this guy for 2 years and he has made 8 appointments over these years and never ever shows up or notifies us to cancel, after many texts and phone calls he would come up with excuses why he can’t make it. I have taken off my contracting business many time to meet those guy for the appointment and he doesn’t show. All I know as a contractor in his own business over the past 16 years, I would never treat a customer like he has us. And further being that I use to work as a paving company many , many years ago As a laborer , take it from me, the mistakes and blatant disregard for me and my driveway shows he does not care , takes your money for a very, very poor job. Do not hire !

Frank Carusso and his team, blacktopped my driveway about 20 years ago and did a great job then and today, free of charge, repaired the end of my driveway where the driveway had a few holes etc... He also extended the blacktop to my mailbox at no expense to me. I would reccommend Frand without hesitation.

Very easy to deal with, driveway was repaved and looks great. Price seemed fair and reasonable and work was performed quickly. Even got a discount for recommending him to a neighbor!

Very unprofessional and a complete scam artist. Agreed to a 10 ft wide drive ended up with a little over 8ft that is very rough and cracking after 3 yrs. Both parties agreed to a warranty but after repeated attempts to have Frank Caruso come back to discuss a solution he never shows up. Would never hire him again. He will answer the call or show up every time when it comes to picking up a check, once he has your money he is done with you. WILL NOT stand behind his own work. BEWARE OF THIS CON ARTIST!!

It went well initially, however I specifically asked them to make the bump at the end of the driveway smaller. He agreed and said fine. IN FACT, they made it much higher, at least 2 inches. IT's ridiculous. I asked them to come back and fix it. He came back and said ok, he'd fix it. Then I never saw him again. I called numerous times. Also - he's extremely opinionated and not to my liking. THIS is better left unsaid! I WOULD NEVER hire him

It went poorly. He left the driveway inches higher than the garage and the garage floods EVERY Time it rains. He made promises to come back and fix it but never kept his promise. Took the money and disappeared. He cam e back to seal the next year , said he would fix the problem but never did. Find another paving company,
Description of Work: Paved driveway. He left the driveway a few inches higher than the garage entrance and it floods every time there is rain, EVERYTIME. He did not come back to fix it after repeated requests over a few years. Says he will come, then suddenly has an emergency. The owner/manager does not do fight by his customers. My neighbor had a similar problem. I would use someone else in the future, Caruso never.
