Upon arrival to my house, I explained that my primary reason for the work was to have the cracks sealed to prevent further damage to my driveway due to the freeze/thaw process of the winter. I asked if they used sand to fill the cracks. The gentleman giving me the estimate quoting the compound they used to fill the cracks and the temperature the compound was heated to and said that all the cracks would be completed sealed. The price was in the range I wanted so we scheduled the work for a few days away.
I made the mistake of leaving the check for Sowers at my house for him to pickup when completed. They only sealed the driveway and did ABSOLUTELY NO filling of cracks, which was my primary reason for having them out. When I returned from work to see that none of the cracks were sealed, I called and he said that they forgot the equipment to seal the cracks. He said he would be out by the end of the week.
The end of the week came and went with no one coming to my house or even calling. Mid the following week, I called again and was told that the weather kept them from coming, but they would be there on Friday. Again, no show and to this date I have heard nothing from the company.
Bottom line is they got my $ and were trying to get as many jobs scheduled done as possible before the weather got to the point they couldn't do any more.
While their seal job was good, they only did half the job. After reading the bad review regarding the window issue, I still went with Sowers. Wish I would have had someone else do the job I needed. I hope that there is not too much additional damage to the driveway over the winter until I can have someone seal the cracks in the Spring.
All in all, everything was very stressful and I regret having gone with Sowers.
"Everything that [member name removed] stated in his review is incorrect and totally dishonest and it's very unfair. I have been in business for over 26 years and never have I had any complaints about myself or my work. I go above and beyond to make sure every customer is pleased and satisfied with my work and I have never had any complaints in the 26 years and certainly never been referred to as a bully. I agreed to fix the microscopic crack that was in the window in question even though I wasn't responsible for it. It was blamed on me even though they had damage to their home from a hail storm prior to me doing their driveway. At any rate, I wasn't rude to anyone, nor was I a bully. That was a very interesting choice of wording to use to describe me when I go out of my way to keep the peace no matter what the issue. That flies in the face of my good nature. I have thousands of references that would tell you exactly what I'm saying to be true and accurate. And in all fairness, I was the victim here. I was the one that was treated rudely here, not to mention, had to wait for well over a month for payment because of a small crack in a window that I had nothing to do with, but agreed to repair because as I stated, I try to keep the peace no matter what the issue. I'm very sorry the Rothenbacher's feel the need to throw me and my company under the bus like that, but to each is own and I know what truly happened and that's all that matters."
I called to ask some follow-up questions, and Jamie was very courteous and professional when explaining things.
When performing the job, they prepped the driveway one day and applied the rubberized sealer. Jamie called and said he'd prefer to wait until later in the week to do the remainder due to the threat of rain. He called the evening before they came out to finish the work, and they wrapped up on the second day with applying the gator mat and sealing the whole driveway.
I'm very pleased with the professionalism, communication, and service provided. Their price was very competitive, and the result looks great. Our driveway looks so much nicer, and I know it will be protected from excessive wear for the next few years.
