Description

The guys were driving around in our neighborhood and approached me twice, lowering the price each time they talked to be about paving my driveway. Once I agreed to them doing the driveway, their crew descended within minutes. One of the men, came to my door midway through the job was done and demanded that I pay them cash. I told him I would do an e-transfer but he refused, said it had to be cash. I went to the bank and got the cash and inspected the work before I paid them. Already there were cracks along the edges so I had them fix them. They also stole a push broom from my garage. They told me that I had to wait 30 days to get the driveway sealed. I called them about a week after the 30 day mark and the voicemail was not set up at the number. Someone did call me back but said that they were running a bit behind due to the rainy weather. At this point I was suspicious and looked up the address on their website only to find out it was the UPS store nearby and that the company had just started in April 2025 (they did my driveway in May 2025) Since then, the number has been disconnected and the website taken down. My driveway now have many cracks in it already and I recently found out it should have been sealed immediately after it was done. The sealing was part of the contact. I also found out that other neighbors have had even shoddier work done by the same people and never had theirs sealed either. The one guy's name was John (probably in his 40's) and the other James (Looked to be in his 20's or early 30's), both had British accents. They had men who spoke Spanish working for them
