Soft pocket in driveway
Robert F.

My wife and I bought a house, the driveway needed to be replaced after machinery damaged it during installation of septic system. We got a quote from a company (not APC) that said it was going to be 6500 to replace driveway and widen it in areas. The sellers said the quote was too high and did not want to give concessions. They got Pete from APC to come out and he gave a quote that was 2k lower than ours, and this quote was the basis for lower concessions given to us at the closing. Now in hindsight, my wife and I made a mistake. We are first time homeowners, and are a little too trusting. So we thought, hey a lower quote is good, we'll use them. We did not do our our research. Called Pete, he came out, seemed like a nice young man. Talked about going to church. Said he would honor the quote, he could do it for that much no problem, very agreeable guy. Told us what we wanted to hear (like a good con-man). Well, turns out Pete is a typical sales guy who tells you what you want to hear to hook you, and once all that machinery is parked in your driveway and tearing it up, you have little choice but to pay up. So at the bottom of the contract it says, "We are responsible for removal of only 1 layer of any kind of surface, anything more than 1 layer will be an additional charge." Well turns out that makes the $4,360 price turn into 8500 dollars. And that nice, easy going Pete you saw in blue suede shoes and 50,000 dollar truck with a Bose soundsystem suddenly turns into a hardliner that forces your wife to pay up, no questions asked. He did not widen the driveway in parts in had said (to cover a crack in sidewalk), there are soft spots in the driveway that I can literally press down on with my foot, and water pools at the base of garage. Does not appear to be 2 layers of asphalt as he told my wife at the time. And good luck getting Pete to come out to fix it, because you will never see him again. He will send you a million text messages, tell you he'll do a sealcoating in the fall when "things slow down," tell you a million stories of why he hasn't come out yet. But I know a liar when I see when. Just wish I spotted it sooner.

Being a business owner myself I know what it's like to have disappointed customers give you bad reviews and the good reviews go unposted. That being said I read the above reviews and decided to give Associated Paving a try. They did not disappoint. Their price/quote was well below the other 3 estimates that my husband got from other companies. They called and sent texts numerous times to make sure we were all on the same page as to when the work would be done and finished. This is a family owned business and I could not be more pleased with the work and friendly nature that Pete and family brings to it. If you need paving done I would recommend Associated Paving for the job. As with any company make sure to get a contract with a start date and a completion date as well as payment expectations.

Our driveway came out great and the new patio / walkways are also very nice. It took much longer than expected.

Poor quality work. Unresponsive to any form of communication (phone, email, text). Refuses to fix defects in work (driveway paving).

Horrible service, they took my money and ran with it. Never came back to finish the job. At first I…read moretold them I did not want to pay everything up front since the job wasn't done, then this guy named "John" (perhaps a fake name?) started to yell at me for not paying them for the job they have already done. By then I had already paid him 80% of the full price. I ultimately need a cellar door replaced and couple of minor fixes he promised to have done for me which he needs to come back for it. Due to the pandemic and all the stores being closed, we weren't able to get the materials on time. Since I wanted to trust them and this all happened while middle of the coronavirus pandemic, I did not want to stir up any dispute so I trusted that they would come back to fix it. Now that I have the door delivered to me, whenever I call John up, he would ignore my calls and texts. Now I need to hire a lawyer and take this to the small claims court. Horrible, horrible people. Do not hire him. He sounds super nice and professional, but it's all a scam. If you do hire him, never pay him upfront - but that would be hard because he will somehow make you pay. I can write more of the detailed story if anyone needs it.

I was looking to have the stairs in the back of my home replaced. I called a few masons and lo and…read morebehold when I got home I found a mason's truck in front of my house doing a job in the neighborhood. I called the number on the truck and got the owner Joseph George. He was very nice and said he would send someone over. So his guy Clayton shows up and he seemed very nice. Gives me a bid for between $3,000 and $3,500 for the stairs. Then recommends that I should reseal my driveway. I hadn't thought about it but he said he had "extra material and he could do it cheap". He said $400 and I got him down to $300. He told me he was going to do the same job for a neighbor for $700, please don't tell them what I was paying he tells me. He said that it would look great, they would fill in all the cracks and blow the debris off the driveway prior to doing the job. He calls me back about an hour later that his boss Josef George said they should use fresh material and could they come back Wednesday. Sure I said. I waited for their call that they were coming and it never came. I ran some errands and then my mother in law who is 83 calls me in a panic. Some guys showed up to do the driveway and they wanted her to pay $475. I get the guy on the phone and he says I should get 2 coats and it will be $475. I said we agreed on $300. He says fine but I am only getting one coat. I asked him how long it would take and he said he would be done in 15 minutes and I could bring the "cash " to his job site down the street. I thought that 15 minutes did not seem like enough time to do the job. I get home and the job was a joke. There was bare spots all over the driveway , they never cleaned the driveway and debris and leaves were just covered over in the tar, the cracks were never filled either. It was a hack job. I called the number for Joseph George the owner. I told him my concerns hoping they could fix the issues. He got angry, nasty and started cursing. He told me to "accept the job as his gift and never ever call him again." Now I am being treated like the crook. 15 minutes later his son shows up, also a Joseph. I told him what just transpired and he say, "Yeah my Dad is a nasty angry guy. Don't start with him." I show him my concerns and he gives me some sob story how the sealing was his job and he's out money. I give him $150 and he says that Clayton will be back to fill in the cracks because they don't even do that normally since it will come out in 3 months (mind you my last guy sealed some cracks and it had lasted 2 years). I gave them the money because I don't need their charity or their guilt. Stay away from these guys. Beware the name Joseph George. He apparently had another Paving and Masonry business called AFFORABLE ALWAYS PAVING AND MASONRY. Here is the link to the lawsuit from the New Jersey Attorney General. Same guy different company. Their cards look like they were done at home on a computer. http://njconsumeraffairs.gov/press/pdf/always102705.pdf Also seems to be based out of Freehold with an Emily George as the President.

The experience of having a roof installation can be stressful. However, the entire team at Jersey…read moreRoofing made the entire process easy and calm. From the sales team to the installation, and customer service, everyone was helpful and responsive. The installation crew and foremen were knowledgeable and kept the team on schedule working into darkness. Clean up was amazing. No debris was left overnight or the next day. Nails were vacuumed, even attic spaces were vacuumed. I can not say enough about Minn!!!! When customer service is no longer valued, she exemplifies what it means to put the customer first. She answered all my questions (no matter how trivial) with respect and kindness. She was extremely responsive dispatching a team (prior to the installation) when I had a ice damming leak She kept us inform throughout the installation process. If I could give them 10 stars I would. GREAT JOB!!

Well let's start from the beginning. The salesman Patrick nice guy set up appointment quickly we…read morewanted our basement encapsulated. We paid upfront the product is guaranteed for life. Well after install on May 21,2026 i signed paperwork and the crew left. Upon a more thorough review with my girlfriend and our handyman several issues were noticed. There were small holes throughout the installation area. There is several places that the dimple board was not placed under the installation area or it moved but seems to be missing. So we called Patrick on May 22,2026 to explain our concerns and since it is warranted to get the work completed. Well he then directed us to another phone number of a person that does the repairs. Well this person has yet to give us a date for said repairs. It's been three weeks and busy or not setting up a date should not be this difficult. If you look at above pics why would they leave one vent original and the other vents capped in black vent looks crazy. What if the humidifier breaks or these holes enlarge. This would destroy my property down in basement and this was the reason we paid a lot of money to have this project completed. They don't seem to stand behind their product and their installation.
