Needed small repair for their work and a full seal. Never showed up to complete or return multiple calls

SCAMMERS! Seal Team is nothing but take your money and run scheme. I spent $thousands of dollars for them to repair a quarter of my driveway and they still couldn't do it. They came back and it's even worse condition than before. Joaquin and his wife refused to return my phone calls. They could care less about negative. This is why I want to file a mass class action lawsuit against these people that steal money and do not do the job properly. This company needs to be shut down by the Better Business Bureau or they will continue stealing money for Shawty work. read more

Very unsafe and unprofessional. One of their drivers cut me off and ran me off the road while driving. Very aggressive and dangerous. Use extreme caution with this business. read more

SEAL TEAM PAVING AND SEAL COATING BEWARE TO NEVER USE THIS COMPANY! First things first! I never do this lol. Because God knows I don't have the time. However, I'm so frustrated this happened! At the end of this I post a picture of our text conversations and a company picture I found online. Location: 86 Bloomingburg Rd. Posting this so no one makes the mistake I made. On Nov 6, 2020 I was in search of a company to redo my complete driveway. After researching I came across SEAL TEAM PAVING AND SEALCOATING and their team from a family friend who had recently done their driveway with the company. I saw a couple negative reviews online but met Joaquin's wife and truly liked her personality and that she was Spanish and wanted to support her business since I too am a Spanish woman from the Bronx. I connected with the owners and felt like they were a good fit. Which I believe is important when hiring a company to do something in your home. On November 20, 2020 our drive way was ripped out and redone completely by this company. On Dec 12, 2020 the driveway cracked at the end of the driveway. I contacted Joaquin and his team. I sent pictures of the driveway and he said that someone must've intentionally did this. Which I found hard to believe however we have a 3 yr warranty with the service so he was to come out to take a look and fix the damage. He looked at the damage and mentioned that the asphalt plants were now closed for the season and that he will come in April to fix the driveway. I was very upset since we had less than 3 weeks with a perfect driveway and now have to wait months to have it fixed. However, I assumed it was out of his control. On April 20, 2021 I contacted Joaquin via text to his company phone number (845) 699-6444 and asked when the plants will open to have the driveway fixed and he said "Hi I will be there this weekend". He never came. Texted him again because I wanted to have some written documentation of the communication. On May 1, 2021 he stated "Hi yes definitely Friday or Saturday this week" he did not come. He then stated "Actually Monday I will be in highland Mills" after not showing up that weekend. Joaquin's company finally came back and completed the fix of the driveway summer 2021 . For it to just to CRACK AGAIN. On the bottom of the driveway and now along other areas of the top and along the sides of the driveway. I contacted him again and yet again plants are closed! He mentioned coming to fix it.. fast forward now April 2022 (IM STILL IN WARRANTY) and haven't had a perfect driveway for longer then 3 weeks after spending 10k to redo the driveway. I've been very patient. Joaquin is aware that I am a hard working woman a nurse and my husband a police officer and his response " Don't worry ma I got! I told you I'll come and fix it" I contacted him for months via phone call from April-June. His response he's coming every weekend. On June 22,22 I texted Joaquin. "Hey, It's Jormarie 2 rainbow drive. We spoke in the beginning of the summer in regards to coming and fixing the driveway. Was wondering when you would be available? He responded "I will be available next weekend " never shows up. On August 1, 2022. I texted "Hello again you mentioned the following weekend when we spoke last and didn't hear from you this passed weekend. His Response: "Hi sorry I have a job coming up in highland mills I didn't forget you I will definitely call you once I schedule that job so I can come by you that same day it will be done in the next 2 weeks. August 22, 2022 I texted: Hello again, it's been another 2 weeks I'm having people over for Labor Day and I don't want my driveway not to be accessible. His response: Ok I understand i will get to you ASAP September 22, 22 I texted: Good morning, "Jormarie kern 2 rainbow drive here again. We have tried the entire summer to have our driveway fixed that is still under warranty. We have been more than patient waiting for it to be fixed. Every weekend goes by with no communication. You spoke with my husband on august 23 and said you would be coming out that weekend and still nothing. This is very unprofessional at this point." NO RESPONSE. I then contacted his wife because this is literally the worse communication. I've been patient and felt like speaking to his wife would help and I would get a better outcome since, in fact meeting her is what made me support this awful business. On sept 28, 22 I spoke with Joaquin's wife via a different number 8456706721. I spoke to her about my concerns and communicating with her husband and she said she had no idea about the matter and that she would be out the very next day. On sept 29, 22 she came out. Which was a relief I thought the driveway would be fixed and that I was making progress. I will post another review with a continuance of the situation read more

See all

In response to Jay C's nearly coherent response to our review, I have a few additional notes. His lack of understanding with how a General Contractor operates is understandable, but still a little shocking. The reason behind getting several estimates as a home owner is to get the best pricing for the quality desired. When you are a general contractor, you get the estimates to establish a base line for appropriate charges to your customer. We are not paving contractors, so we could in no way predict what it would cost. The first two companies we received estimates from were multi-generational pavers. They saw the concrete removal was going to be an issue, both for labor and disposal, and priced their work appropriately. When Seal Team came in $2000 less than all other contractors, I thought perhaps they knew something the rest of us didn't. But, in any case, the base line given by the 2 other companies was where we estimated the work to our customer. We did not add the standard 20% GC charges. In other words, we saved the customer money. The estimate was viewed, agreed upon, and the work was performed. With much grumbling and complaining on the part of Seal Team as it turned out they did NOT know something the rest of us didn't and it took several extra days of labor and many more loads of disposal than they thought just to complete the prep. Now, let's address the fact that Jay is bold faced lying about this not having been discussed prior to him doing the job. I'm not surprised in the least that he would lie about such a thing, ignorantly believing that there was wrong doing on my part throughout this process. But, it shows his character. The fact that he would approach a customer, any customer much less an 80 year old woman, to attempt to upset and defame my company is yet another in the long line of red flags. I have spoken with the family several times on the issue and they are and have always been fully aware of the process and are extremely pleased with the work we performed for them, as well as the pricing we provided. I do not want the entire driveway redone. I want only the area where the cap was laid at 1/2". Which is the area where the old driveway existed. I've had, again, several estimates done for the work. All well established companies and every one of them said that there's little chance the 'cap' these yahoos put down can be removed effectively without damaging the old paving. So, a complete rip out of those areas is needed. The new paving they placed seems to be fine. Not to mention Seal Team never cut away the driveway at the street entrance. They simply mounded it up to the edge. Again, every company that came out pointing it out and simply shook their heads. Seal Team is a running joke with every other paving company in the area. If this is the type of contractor you want to involve yourself with, by all means. He has a litany of complaints and now two pending lawsuits against him and his company. Choose wisely. read more

Destroyed our driveway and will not come out to fix it. Won't answer our telephone calls. Don't use this company I promise you will regret it! read more

This company is the worst business that I've ever dealt with in my life, and that is of any business not just a driveway company. No one should consider them. Their employees are rude , unprofessional and just downright awful hotheaded people. Absolutely disgusting behavior. I hope for your sake that you look elsewhere for your driveway needs. If I could give them a zero rating I would, but then it wouldn't be calculated into their overall rating. read more

Don't know what these long winded reviews are all about. People have too much time on their hands. All I can say is Seal Team did our driveway in 2022. We had a small issue at end of driveway. He came and fixed it (even though this was a year after he did the job). Fixed the problem. He was 3/4 (at least) cheaper than everyone else. And by the way, in my nearly 40 years of dealing with contractors, I have never had one that didn't tell me the "last guy" did a lousy job (that they now have to fix). Lol. read more

CONTINUATION of previous review... She spoke with my husband and she stated "Your wife made it sound worse than its and it's a quick fix" My husband than told her it wasn't that ...it's the fact that we've waited a significant amount of time and wanted it to be fixed and they haven't done it yet! I've contacted both numbers numerous times to fix the job and now Nov 2, 2022. Every-time I call the number goes straight to voicemail. I am very disheartened with the situation because we wanted to support local family businesses and this is the outcome. We've given the company many chances and We've be calm and patient with no positive outcomes. I have all my documentation and pictures to follow up this matter in small claims court. PLEASE DONT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Kind-Hard working people should not be treated this way by a company. read more

Absolutely NO NO NO NO. I will follow up with pictures. Taken them to court. Worse customer service and sloppy job. They are nice until they take your money. Please please do your self a favor pay more and save yourself the headache. Is only been a week in a half. They did a horrible job, came once to try to fix it and my driveway looks bad. Will post more in details later on. Mr Joaquin did not want me to place his sign up because he knew it was a bad job but yet he won't come back to fix it. His slogan states: let us rescue your driveway .. that is a joke read more

We had a fire in July 2021. Our driveway was damaged. We decided to spend the money to make much needed upgrades and repairs to the driveway. Unfortunately. We choose Seal Team. Before they left my job. I knew the work was sub par. Within weeks. It began to crumble under my feet and we had grass growing in the middle of the new section. I reached out to them. The owners wife came to access the situation. Gave me some long winded excuses about the poor quality. Assured me they would be back in the fall to make everything good. Needless to say. Dispite many attempts to contact them fir theses repairs to $7000. Wirth of work. Nothing. The driveway is now crumbling away. It has holes in it. The water drainage is worse today then it was prior to the work. I finally realized that Seal Team was not going to stand up and resolve this issue. I called a reputable company. They told me the job was done so poorly. They would only recommend tearing the entire driveway out and starting from scratch. They sited poor quality material. Improper grading. Overall. I got what I was taken by the owner of Seal Team. My recommendation. Pay the extra $ and get tge job done right. It's now going to cost almost $10,000 to replace the poor, poor quality job that Seal Team did. Live and learn. read more

Well they do do decent work. However there customers service is the worst I have ever dealt with. We needed some repairs to the work they did, but you can't reach them via the phone. You call and call and leave message. when they do respond and tell you they will drop by....that never happens. I regret using them to save a couple of bucks. I would rather pay more and get better service. We give up on this company and will never use them again. read more

We had our driveway done recently. We love how it came out. The owner Joaquin knows his business and is very professional, friendly and open to our requests. His team was also professional and knew what they were doing. Joaquin was great about getting back to us when we contacted him . He kept us up to date prior to scheduled day of paving. He gave us a great price for a great job. Would highly recommend. read more

Seal Team Paving and Sealcoating - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

My husband and I had our driveway paved, and we love it. Joaquin and his team were very professional and did an amazing job. His wife Yvette was also a big help, and very professional. You can tell when someone has mastered their craft, and takes pride in their work. Joaquin and Yvette exemplifies honest business owners, that want to do right by their customers. They return your phone calls, even if you have any question afterwards. I highly recommend this company, and I already referred this company to 4 of my neighbors. That speaks volumes, because I don't refer companies, unless I am confident in their business practices and skill level. read more
