A Driveway Masters

Minutes after calling for an estimate, someone showed up, we agreed on the scope of work and the price. We signed a contract and I gave a 50% deposit. Two hours later I received a call to verify the check and that it could be cashed. That was on Oct. 23rd. Monday came and went. Oct. 28th, I informed him that I now had a contract to sell the house and need to get this done before the closing. On Oct. 31, he came by and made two 12" cuts in the driveway and proudly sent me a picture. On Nov. 5th, I got a text that said they would have the concrete removed by the following weekend.... On Nov 9th, I got a text that said the weather had slowed things up but he should have it finished up by Thur. or Fri. Nov. 13th, got a text that said he was officially caught up and could start the job Monday. Nov. 15th, got a text that said he was on the way. Nov. 17th, someone should up and needed to know where to plug in a jackhammer, On the small front step.....near the door....Amazingly the old driveway was busted up. Half of it piled, the rest remains in place broken up. At this point, you can no longer us the driveway. Nov. 20th, reminded of the closing on the house and the importance of getting this done. Nov. 21st, told, via text that someone would be there tomorrow. No one came. Nov. 23rd, got a text that said he would call me in the morning. Didn't call. Had never called and spoken to me the entire time other than the initial call for the bidding. Nov. 25th, got a text that said he would have some quote end quote "Mexicans" out there tomorrow. He had to fire the job crew leader for drinking on the job. No one showed. Nov.28th, got a text at 2:20 in the afternoon explaining that the dump will reopen on Monday to remove the concrete, he would call me then. Nov.30th, got another text that said he will be there tomorrow. I guess at this point you know what happened.....that was the last I've heard from them. During the whole ordeal, I only got to speak to him once, when he answered thinking I was someone else, then began explaining that they were working h****** the project, but were going to need another $1300 dollars for unforeseen expenses. It seemed as though I was not the only customer being taken for a ride. I also received a call back from an employee who said that he was out and would call me back. Again, that did not happen. Dec. 1st, Myself and some friends began removing the concrete ourselves. We hope to get the rest tomorrow, form it up and pour before the closing in 3 days. This company STOLE my entire deposit, BLOCKED my number and NEVER RETURNED to finish the job. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Verbally said they would finish in 3 days. Signed contract allotted for 14 days to account for possible weather delays. Lied and said a brand new tractor from Home Depot was broken. Did a few hours of work and never showed up again. Stole my deposit and not finish the work per contract and was rude and belligerent and threatening..

Brandon came out on Thursday and gave me an estimate and said they could have the work done by Saturday. He said they would get started on Friday so I left my dogs in our master bathroom all day while I was at work only to come home and find that no work had been started on the slab. I call Brandon and he told me that he would be there Saturday morning to get started and to tell me that he would not be able to finish the job on Saturday as promised because he couldn't get the concrete mix. They did come out Saturday and dig out for the slab only to have it fill with rain that afternoon. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of that next week I had to call him several time before he would call me back and each time he told me he would be out there that afternoon to bail out the hole and get started. He would come out look at it and leave. On Thursday I called him again and he told me he would come out and dig a trench to drain the water off which he did and left. Thursday after noon he came back and told me that the ground was still too wet to pour the concrete but for an extra $100 he could do some additional work to dry it out. I refused and told him i expected him to have the work completed by Friday. Friday morning he did show up and eventually get the work finished. I am not completely happy with the finish on the concrete and the yard is a mess with concrete and rocks all over but at that point I just wanted te be done with him so I paid him expressed my dissatisfaction and he went on his way. I still need to pull the form board down clean up all the rocks and concrete in the yard and patch up the grass before I can start enjoying the new patio slab. The price was great, so If you don't mind baby sitting a contractor, can be flexible with the schedule and don't mind doing some cleanup yourself then maybe Driveway Masters is the contractor for you.
