Hosfelt Paving

Did a tear out and new asphalt driveway. When speaking with Jerry before the job. He was supposed to put base rock in before he starting laying new. asphalt. He did not bring rock in. Payed asphalt over the top of dirt. New driveway looked good initially. 3 months later. It started cracking and breaking apart. Try to contact Jerry several times and left messages. He would not return my calls. Fast forward 3 years. My wife had forgotten we used Hosfelt paving on our current driveway. She booked a time with Hosfelt paving. They were supposed to be by to give an estimate. So I was at home waiting for him to show up. And hopefully he would be a big enough person to take accountability. For his mistakes he made with our driveway. He showed up all right. Realized saw the driveway, backed up the road and drove away. Never once did he stop and get out of his truck to look at. I was watching for him out my window. Hosfelt paving will take your money. Will not stand behind his work.

I am very proud of my new asphalt driveway. They did a fantastic job!

Great communication and got the job done right away at an affordable price.

Did a great job

The paving job still looks excellent a couple years later, there are a couple of tiny cracks, but give the slope they were pouring on that isn’t too surprising. Best price to value of everyone I spoke to for the project. You don’t get a super polished customer service at that price, but considering what the others were going to charge it was well worth it.

I submitted a request for quotes for my driveway, which is very large. He was the first to reply and came out within hours. After receiving several quotes, his was the best. I hired the company and there were out on the day and time that he said he would be there. The job they did was nothing less than spectacular, I couldn't be more pleased. Most importantly, the owner, who came out to give the estimate came across as hard working, reliable and honest. If I need any more paving, he will be my first and only call!!!

The company responded quickly, gave a competitive price, and came in the day after I chose them to replace our driveway. It was amazing service and very well done.

Very professional and did a great job. Hope the next time it won't be so hot.

Really satisfied with their ethic and job well done.

Although he did do a good job on the driveway install his business manners are terrible. He was supposed to come back and seal our driveway before winter he was very hard to get on the phone. He is very bad at returning calls. He finally said it was too late to do it before winter he would do it in the spring. We tried many times to reach him. He would not return calls. Finally he said he would be out on Friday. No show, no call. Tried again to reach him, wont take your call. Finally gave him a deadline and we have not heard from him. It has now been over a year since he installed it and we finally had someone else seal our driveway. If he didnt want to do it we would rather he said that so we could get someone else more reliable. He is not worth the hassle.

It was good.

Very knowledgeable and efficient. Promised a timeline and delivered. Absolutely no complaints

Good work. Good price. We love our new asphalt driveway. Our thanks to the whole crew!

Extremely happy with the work done.

Jerry came out and reviewed the project in a timely fashion. He offered a very competitive price. I later asked him to put it all in writing and he made an extra trip back out to provide a handwritten job description and contract. Things went fine and install is decent. It was a cheaper price than many, so the non-symmetrical waving lines on the 100 driveway was not a huge deal. However, once they left, my wife came out and said **it does not look as wide as it use to be**. She did not let it go and went to get a tape measure. It was 10 most of the way. **Most** of the way because of the wavy lines. It was not 12 wide anywhere. The contract said 12. I assume the price was based on coverage. I asked Jerry to come back out and let u;s say he was not concerned. He said if he added a foot to each side it would just fall off. I said yeah to do it right it needs to be torn out. His response was oh if you are going to nitpick then I poured it 5 thick in many places and I tore out multiple layers that cost him more time. The extra thickness means nothing to me and has no realized value. It probably means it was not compressed well. I never thought I would have to measure to make sure someone fulfilled their contractual obligations. The contract said to tear out and replace with the description of how it would be replaced, including dimensions. He is the expert, not me. If he did not account for 3 layers and not 2 that is his responsibility. If he did not know, he should have done more exploration/investigation before supplying the bid. Not only did I get shorted but it creates an enormous amount of work for me to pick up all the extra fill rock on the sides that were not covered. Beware. He can do a good job but make sure you get what you negotiated. As for me, I will likely have to hire someone to pull this out and replace it. It will likely be cheaper than legal actions to have him deliver what was contracted.

Jerry and his team are very professional. I had gotten several quotes from many companies and he was by far the most reasonable. I studied his reviews and decided to hire him. We live in Old Leawood and we have an older home that we are renovating. Our circle driveway was crumbling everywhere so his team removed the old and replaced with new. They took great care of our surrounding landscaping and even showed care with the bricks lining our driveway as I did not want them disturbed or out of place. I am very happy with my decision to hire Jerry Hosfelt and his team. They know what they are doing!!!

This firm responded in a timely manner to request for bid. They followed up. They showed up on time and went right to work. They were polite, professional and meticulous. We were delighted with the company and the final product.

I am so disappointed that I had such a bad result for my driveway, especially after reading such good reviews by others. Hosfelt Paving replaced my asphalt driveway in November 2019. The completed driveway was very crooked on both sides and had uneven grooves on the surface. I was told they **ran out of asphalt and the factory is closed for the winter**. Jerry Hosfelt promised to fix the problems in the spring. Met with Jerry Hosfelt in Feb 2020. He said he could not make the surface smooth (without grooves) because he did not have equipment wide enough, but maybe he could put a coating on it that **might help**. He said he could **put some more asphalt on the sides to try to straighten the sides**. (My understanding is that you cannot add to already cured asphalt because it will crack between the old and new.) This did not sound like a satisfactory solution to me. He ultimately agreed to refund me $8,000 of the $11,500 that I originally paid, but he has yet to send even a partial payment. Every time I reach him, he has a different excuse (less work because of COVID, had to bail someone out of jail, a tree fell on his truck, etc.). He always promises to send a payment by the end of the week, but I have not seen a penny and it has been almost 6 months now. I believe that they really did **run out of asphalt** when they did my driveway and now they are unwilling to re-do it and make it right or to give me even a partial refund.
