W STANLEY ASPHALT SVC

These guys approached us saying they had extra asphalt and would do our driveway for $8 a square foot. The would measure it "later " sounds good we naively said and over the next couple hours 4 guys did pave over our old asphalt ( no grading or removing the old stuff). It looked nice enough. Then at the end they measured. 800 sq ft but then they go times 1.5 so that's 1200 sq ft and before you know it they want $9600. The times 1.5 was for "thickness" (???). Stupidly we paid them and in cash ( they "came down" to $9000). I yelled at them for bait and switch but no luck. These guys are crooks and I feel taken and embarrassed. And frankly the pavement before and after is okay but certainly not worth the thousands we paid. Argh.

They were on time and did a great job.  Had a little trouble with the bob cat taking down a tree limb but it was unavoidable and we were going to cut it down anyway. 

Please think before you hire this company. On September 18th
around 9am, someone came to my front door claiming they had "extra"
asphalt from a job down the road and seeing as we need a new driveway, they
were going to offer us a deal. My girlfriend answered the door as I was working
on my construction site at the time, and she asked them to call me to see what
I thought. After a brief conversation with "Bill" (who I believe was
the owner's son), he said hold on, I?ll call you back. I received a call back
from the owner's nephew who explained he would remove the old asphalt and
replace with fresh asphalt for under $4 per square foot. I work in the business
as a contractor and this seemed like a deal, so i said measure it out and call
me back with an order of magnitude. (Ballpark cost of project). After two hours
I received a call from my GF who said, "They?re paving, what's the
cost?" To which i then made several attempts to call the nephew (who later
claimed his phone was dead). I then called the owner's son who said "don't
worry about it, you're getting a good deal" I then realized that it had
only been a few hours and there was no way they could have torn up and regarded
my driveway in that short amount of time. I called back the owner's son and
said ?get your men off of my property or i will be calling the police."
which they did pack up and leave. Then they tried to get cash from my GF with a
charge of the driveway for $6700. If my driveway was ripped up, re-graded and
replaced this would be ok, but since it was not done properly... I was
extremely upset.
Since then I have been repeatedly called by the owner and
his son trying to get me to pay for the work done. I am not going to pay for
work that I did not agree to and was not even remotely done properly. They have
gone so far as to even go to my next door neighbor to ask for money!
To all readers:
I work construction, there is no such thing as "extra
asphalt" it would be hard as a rock within an hour, just like concrete.
I had hired this company to do my bosses house 4 months
prior to this and had a positive experience. They ripped out and replaced a
1570 sq. foot driveway for $4,000. My driveway was 1610 sq feet and they tried
charging $6700 without ripping out the old asphalt. Something is wrong with the
way they estimate their projects.

Their service was very good. I like the supervision on-site of the owner, always on time and they completed the work within the time frame ordered.

They did a good job overall. They kind of pressured us on the sales pitch. The workman did a great job. They went over in the budget and would not come down for us.
