Blacktop was supposed to be 4 inches thick to accommodate heavy trucks on occasion. The driveway appears to be more like 2.5- 3 inches thick. I had immediate concerns as the driveway did not appear level and had low spots. I was told it was fine! From that day forward I had and still do experience water pooling in a few areas. Each year it gets worse. After about 4-5 years, it was cracking around the edges, center and at the end of the driveway. The driveway also was not sloped properly to drain. Horrible.

Last summer we had Sandman Paving tear out our existing driveway and install a new one. After 2 no…read moreshows, they came to do a full replacement. They were paid 100% half way through day 2, right before completion of work. The owner Jerry came into my house to collect the check for the final payment before he left. The job was not yet completed. Before the workers left for the day I showed them that there were two low spots on the end of our driveway that were collecting water. I suspected the worker didn't speak English and had a hard time understanding. I emailed contacted Sandman about the issue and Eva told me that they would be back before the end of the season to try and heat and roll our the low spots. There were numerous calls and emails from my husband and I, I never heard back from the company. Innthe winter, after submitting a complaint to BBB, I finally got a response from Eva. She said they were closed for the season. They would be back beginning of the season. Since the beginning of the season there had been many calls and emails trying to get confirmation on when they would come out so we could resolve the issue and sealcoat our driveway. Finall after a no show, in June, they came and tried to heat and roll the driveway. It did not resolve the issues. It left burn marks in my new driveway. The workers said Eva would call. I never heard back. After many more emails Eva told me they could seal coat our driveway as compensation. I told her we did not find this fair because the problem is still not resolved and we paid close to $4,000 and a seal coat is $200 or less. I saw the crew and the owner Jerry working in my neighborhood. I pulled over to talk to Jerry about how i have not hear back from Eva. He got in my face accusing me of harassment. Accusing us of not sealing it, we cannot until the issue is resolved. He had us confused with another customer as well. He lit a cigarette while he yelled and blew smoke in my face, 7 months pregnant at the time with my 4 year old in the car. He said he would come cut out the lower portion of our driveway and repour it. I have still have not heard back. Do not use this company. They have terrible customer service, time management and ownership. Jerry only cares about collecting a check, not his employees or quality of work.

They helped us design a space that fits our home perfectly and made great recommendations we wouldn't have thought of ourselves.

They showed up on time, kept the worksite clean, and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. It's rare to find a company that delivers exactly what they promise, on schedule and with such high quality. Our backyard has completely transformed into a space we're proud to show off. Highly recommend to anyone looking for expert hardscape work!

Hired this company to do a partial chimney rebuild. In securing the job Lenny was very friendly,…read moretalkative and personable. After sending the down payment money, all those attributes changed. There was absolutely no communication between this company and myself and quite frankly I never saw Lenny again. My main contractor turned out to be a guy named Ethan. My main problem with this company was their serious lack of communication with me. They would call when they were already in route and leave little information on what to expect. I was supposed to know the ins and outs of a chimney rebuild with NO explanations from the supposed professionals. I never really had any conversations with them unless they didn't show up and I would call to find out why. My 1st impression was on the day they were supposed to start work here, after waiting 6 weeks, they requested to push the job back 2 more days. When I was not happy about that idea, Lenny said Ok they would start the next day. The next day Ethan showed up late, set up some scaffolding and then left at 10:30 never to return. Elite had successfully pushed my job back the 2 days they originally wanted in a very sneaky way, by pretending they were starting my job. I really don't appreciate a company that I have hired to act in such an unprofessional manner, thinking they pulled a fast one on their client. Nothing was ever communicated to me through the entire rebuild. Oh, but the day they finished they could knock on the door because final payment needed to be made. The invoice was in my email promptly the next morning. Previously they would maybe show up, maybe not a couple times with no explanation at all. This company felt no need to communicate with the client unless they wanted something. If I questioned something I was an annoyance to anyone associated with Elite. I was a non person with a checkbook to them. Not the kind of company I like to hire for a company with the highest quote! I could not tell you about the quality of the actual rebuild , I was relieved the stress was over. I certainly would not recommend Elite to anyone because in my opinion they are terribly unprofessional and did nothing to educate me about the process, did not like being questioned and after they received final payment reached out so they didn't get a bad review. Hopefully they treat the next paying customer a little better.

I'm very disappointed with my experience with this company. I felt like the salesman who came out…read morerecommended a significant amount of work that was unnecessary, and the repair they ultimately offered was extremely overpriced in my opinion. The price they quoted me was around $3,000, and I've included some pictures below. What concerns me most is the lack of trust I now have in their recommendations. I previously hired this company to do tuckpointing work for me. About three years later, I contacted them about touching up a few areas, and I was told the work was already in bad shape. When I reminded them that they were the ones who had performed the original work, the response was essentially, "Oh, we can just repair these couple of bricks. It's not a big deal." After that experience, and now being presented with what I believe is an unnecessarily expensive repair, I simply don't feel comfortable doing business with this company anymore. When you hire a company and spend good money on their work, you expect fair pricing, honest recommendations, and quality workmanship. Unfortunately, that's not the experience I had.

They'll tell you every excuse in the book, saying the patio has too much shade, poor drainage, etc. But the fact is, it was sealed and fine until they came, resealed/sanded it and then it was a disaster. Now I have to get it redone properly again. What a waste of money that was. Do not listen to the excuses they provide. They will reply here and it's 100% a lie. They would not come and redo it for me. So I will never recommend this place to anyone. Poor craftsmanship on their part. And they would not resolve it, so not a trustworthy business.

My entire patio has sun hitting it, there's no excuses here. There's guards along the edge to keep plants from penetrating it, always has been. They'll throw every excuse at the book while other contractors will just make it right, even if they have to redo such a poor job that did not hold up even for a year.
