The initial experience was good with what we believed was a fair price and a professional service by the family owned business. Within a month, it was obvious there was a defect in the installation and a low spot led to a large collection of water near the garage.
It took multiple interactions to get a reply and offer to repair the situation. The repair was a very poor "patch" and the work crew left without any interaction as to the correction of the problem. The owner was notified and promised to fix to our satisfaction but then never returned. A year later and after threatening legal action the repair was made to our satisfaction and the owner put in writing his agreement to seal the entire driveway (normal maintenance) with us paying for the wholesale cost of materials. HOWEVER, they never returned and now that the season is over, we are left with a driveway unsealed and vulnerable to winter deterioration.
Charlie's Paving offers a 10 year guarantee if they seal the drive so we are now concerned we have lost that insurance and will find a deteriorating driveway due to lack of proper maintenance. We are now seeking legal action to resolve.
We would not recommend their services and wish we would have paid more for someone more responsive. If someone should choose their company, I would recommend everything in writing and have a very low threshold for seeking legal solutions to an inadequate service.
"We did come back and make all repairs you did not mention that"
I knew Charlie's Paving is a well established, 40 year plus respected local business specializing in asphalt driveways and while discussing a future driveway replacement, talked about my backyard needs. He stated that he would be happy to assist with that project as well and that in addition to asphalt driveways, they also install concrete walkways, backyard patios and projects like mine. We discussed many options and spent over a year having numerous conversations about what would be the best solution for our family from both a budgetary and overall functionality perspective. After discussing many options, we determined that by bringing in fill and topsoil and installing sod would provide the best overall use of space for us.
We scheduled a date for the project and the Charlie's Paving crew came on schedule with their equipment. Charlie Finocchario oversaw his crew performing the necessary site prep work before bring in the necessary fill and topsoil to level our backyard. As Charlie indicated that he would, he brought in loads of topsoil via bobcat, raked out by his team and perfectly rolled flat and hard, ready for the installation of sod, as promised. His team was respectful of neighbors properties in our somewhat confined work area, they were professional and committed to the task. Upon completion of the job, we had completely new back yard, flat as a pancake and ready for sod to be placed. The work was quality, and performed in the timeline promised. All remnants of the job were cleaned afterward, to the sweeping of the driveway and road areas where dirt was transported from to picking up water bottles on the job site. The area was perfectly neat and clean after they left.
I would definitely hire Charlie's Paving again without question, highly recommend their work and we will be discussing a new driveway next summer.
