Description

This business is running a bait and switch scheme. A 19 year old came in to my salon and said he had some leftover asphalt and asked if I wanted him to fix my parking lot. I said sure, how much… he said $7 per square foot and that he did not have much asphalt. I told him to cover the dip in my lot and to let me know a cost. He never came back in and shared a cost. A bunch of Hispanic workers were in the parking lot for an hour sitting, I went outside and asked what they would be repairing and the worker pointed to the pot hole. I went back in the salon to finishing working and I looked up and noticed trucks pouring a lot of asphalt and they nearly poured 75% of my parking lot. The young boy appeared and said that the cost was $14,000.00. I never got an estimate, invoice or contract to sign. I said that was insane and I just wanted to pothole fixed. He said he didn’t know how much asphalt he had and they just poured what they had. I said, I never agreed to that. The boy went on to argue with me and then took the price from 14k, to 10k then to 7k cash. Then I knew something was not right. He then panicked and said he’d lose his job and the company doesn’t care about him. I then called the company and the owner turned out to be the boys brother. This company is scamming people and getting away with it. Then the owner texted me the attached. He basically said he would pull up all the asphalt that they laid without my permission, melt it down and use on another job. I am a hardworking small business. It’s sad that companies like this prey on people like us. I’ve since read their reviews and this is not the first time that they’ve done a bait and switch scam.
