Business ProfileforCardwell Construction & Paving LLC

I engaged the services of Cardwell Construction Co. last May 21, 2021 for a driveway rip-out and new asphalt, for a quoted price of $3300, after meeting with their sales rep, Mike V. The rip-out took place on 8/21/21. During the rip-out I was told by Rich (one of the principals of the company, I believe), that I would need more crushed stone than originally thought, for an additional charge of $300. I questioned this at first, but then agreed to the additional charge. Per the agreement, after the rip-out was done, I paid $1800 by check, half of the now, new total of $3600. Way after the established waiting period, due to rain and other customers ahead of me, I finally had the new asphalt poured on 11/3/21. On that day I went into my garage and noticed Cardwell's multi-thousand pound steam roller sitting on my $2000, epoxy garage floor! Dumbfounded at first, I asked the driver (Rich I believe), why he was parked there. He had not asked for permission to do so. If he had, I probably would have said , "No way," or questioned him extensively why he felt he had to park the machine in my garage!?! He kind of nonchalantly mumbled something like, "...that's how we do it." When the job was done, the garage floor was a mess, but like a good customer, I paid the balance due of $1800 by check, per the agreement. Afterward, with the warmer weather, I was able to thoroughly wash and dry the garage floor. I detected some damage that was not there before the steam roller incident; brought it to the attention of Mike V. and the company, and was told by Mike on 1/11/22, his company, "...was walking away from any damage claims;" this after he apologized profusely, and said it should never have happened! Please see the attached "Statement of Complaint Against Cardwell Construction Company," dated April 30, 2022, discussing this matter in greater detail.
