Buyer Beware! Don't hire George Stevens from All American Asphalt for any of your driveway, sealing or paving repair needs. He did not perform any of the services that were outlined in the contract I had with him. He lied several times during the job about the work he was intending to do and even lied about coming back a week later to give me a refund. He didn't care that I was not satisfied during or after the job. He was rude, argumentative, and very unprofessional.
I hired him to repair a cut through my driveway which was done to run a lawn sprinkler pipe. The contract called for a "Hot Asphalt" repair, then the removing of the existing oil stains on the driveway and the re-coating of the entire driveway.
The day of the job he showed up an hour late, immediately left his young son and another worker to do the job while he took off to Home Depot to pick up the incorrect material (Cold Patch) for the job. I watched them work and they seemed unskilled, but I was hopeful that I would end up with a good end result. This was far from the case. Besides not using the correct material to repair the driveway, the oil stains are coming through his new seal coat.
In the end, I had to hire another Asphalt company to do the job correctly and correct the mess he left behind. When they arrived, even the workers could not believe how bad my driveway looked.
The Director of Operations at COD Funding, Tom Carl wrote this...
"Upon arrival at your residence to give you a quote for repairing your driveway, I was extremely surprised to see such poor workmanship by the company who attempted to patch the irrigation line in your driveway. I could immediately see that whichever company who attempted to repair the irrigation trench hole in the center of the driveway did not properly do the repair correctly nor use the appropriate materials.
It appears that the hole which is approximately 10" wide by 15' long was simply filled with a cold asphalt mix similar to a product commonly sold at Home Depot. This area was completely soft to the touch and my foot sank into the soft asphalt which was a serious safety hazard.
It was also clearly evident that there was no fill added to the hole prior to placing the cold asphalt mix into the hole nor was the asphalt compacted or properly leveled out to match level with the main part of the driveway. Simply put, the wrong materials were used for this job. It was also clearly evident that the cold asphalt patch that was used was starting to be washed away by the rain over the last few days because it was not properly installed. The proper materials that should have been used for this job consist of DOT Approved Hot Mix asphalt."
Cod Funding cut out the area that needed to be patched and removed all of the cold asphalt that was improperly added into the above mentioned hole. This job was excellent, nothing like what All American Asphalt did. read more
