TOTAL ASPHALT REPAIR

Broken concrete edges were removed as planned. Crew seemed conscientious and professional. Paving preparation began. Adjacent chain link fencing was taken down and polls were bent with heavy equipment. Asphalt was poured with gaps near borders. A portion of the driveway was incomplete and there were visible dips and roller tracks. I called the owner who told me that I didn't know anything about asphalt and that the job wasn't complete and that it would be fine. The remainder was poured with smaller rock, which meant the two portions of the driveway didn't match. The side of the driveway opposite of the fence was very uneven with clumps of asphalt offering a 8" variation. The driveway butted up to a concrete carport where more of the original concrete edges needed repair. In addition, I had a lookalike wrought iron fence with gate between the carport and driveway. This was removed during paving but took 5-6 visits for it to be reinstalled correctly. The crew took it upon themselves to drill holes in the concrete carport and place it at a different location. When they put the chain link fence back up, the fencing wasn't attached to the support posts, so this became an issue as well. The pavement was so disheartening that I had another company (one who had given me a bid from the beginning) come take a look to see what could be done to fix the dips in the driveway and make it look like pavement. This person told me that he was 99% certain that the material used was binder and not topping. He also showed me where I would have water standing, and, sure enough, he was right. I was very disappointed and will never used this company again.
