JOHNNIE SMITH PAVING

Johnnie Smith is a very courteous and quick moving contractor. He does business around Augusta and any areas far reaching around Wrightsville. He gave us a decent price for the job so we didn't get multiple bids nor any references. That was a huge mistake. He came on the day we decided and did the job quickly. My wife noticed him dumping a lot of asphalt towards the end of the driveway. He did this probably when he thinned the thickness around the circle of the driveway fearful of having to order another truck to finish appropriately. The driveway thickness should be around 1.5 to 2 inches thick for a sturdy driveway. My damaged areas are only an inch thick. I could see it after removing it. One section crumbled and alligatored which he returned to fix for free. However, that area is getting another repair that I am paying another contractor to fix. I am paying to overlay the circle drive which he cheated the contracted thickness. He also seal coated the drive. I can't tell if he did anything. He said it would be gloss black and last several years like that. That was a tall tale. The second seal coat was free because of the repairs. It looks nothing like my neighbors do it yourself job; his looks great like a new drive. On Magnolia Lane off of William Few Pkwy, My neighbor hired him for the association to repair their private paved road. When I learned recently that their horrible looking repaired road was done by Johnnie Smith, I was astonished how he could get hired around here. Obviously, my brother in law who was in charge of hiring the contracted did not consult with others. So I am going through the trouble to put reviews on any site that records them. I would like to post pictures. But you can ride down Magnolia Lane and see for yourself before it gets repaired. Good luck finding a good affordable asphalt contractor. I will rate my current one after the repairs.
