Benjamin Asphalt charged us $800 per hour for 2 guys to pressure wash our driveway for 2 hours. When we got their bill, I thought there was an error, so I sent the payment for the seal coating portion and requested a corrected bill for the pressure washing. I backed it up with a Homewyse Estimate, and a bid from another contractor for $700 for pressure washing the driveway that I had obtained a month earlier. Unfortunately, my husband only got a verbal quote of "a few hundred dollars" from Benjamin. They responded that I was using "rude intimidation" to "strong-arm force a price reduction after the fact." They said I was charged the going rate, and called me a thief and a deadbeat client. I then wrote to the owner, hoping he would want to clear his name. 2 weeks have passed, and he has yet to respond. Today I paid the full bill, even though I know I am being robbed. I would never recommend these folks. I don't know what is worse, the outrageous price or their rude customer service. The entire thing feels even worse because Mr. Benjamin is my neighbor, and I had always found him to be a very nice person. The way I have been treated by his company and the fact that he has not even bothered to try and address my concerns leads me to know otherwise. read more
