Obama destroyed America
Had them widen my driveway approx. 800 sq. ft. Said they gave me a good deal because they're doing another drive right up the street. Estimate says:
They did the work on the Thursday before Memorial Day. I noticed there was no evidence of any rock base laid (there's always excess around the edges). They also did not do the seam sealer, they just ran the new asphalt up and over the old.
I parked boat on it that Saturday (boat only weighs 1600 lbs). Trailer tires sank into asphalt. Called Charlie Sunday evening. He said he'd come by and fix it that week and that I should not have parked on it for 4 days. He admitted to not telling me this nor is it mentioned on their estimate or website.
A week goes by, no Charlie. I call office and leave voice mail. Melissa calls work phone at 6:30pm 2 days later and leaves v/m. I call Melissa following day. She says Charlie never should have told me 4 days that they tell people to wait 2-3 weeks. Asked why I crossed the caution tape...there was no caution tape!! The one up the street had caution tape. She said she would have Joe Marini call me tomorrow. That was on May 31. Still have not heard from anyone. Been parking boat on street.
I was going to let it go figuring that the asphalt just hadn't hardened yet. Parked boat on asphalt Sunday afternoon. Guess what? Yep, tires sank into it again.
I will now be filing small claims against Marini. This week.
Copenhaver never even responded when I was looking for quotes. Too bad because they did my original driveway a couple years ago and did a great job.
- Install culvert pipe into existing one.
- Grade approx. 800 sq. ft., haul debris to dump.
- Put in rock and grade then roll to compaction.
- Hand tamp all edges, crack fill the seam from the old asphalt to the new asphalt.
