Chris Wages (if that's even his real name) operates under multiple company names "Strictly Asphalt…read morePaving" and "C & E Paving" to skate around his bad reviews. I was working on a car in my driveway when Chris drove by and stopped to offer me seal coating services, which I did need. We agreed on a price after negotiating and he came back later that day to do the work. This company is full of false promises. Do not pay them a dime until all work is completed to your satisfaction. Chris is a scam artist and acts like a nice charming young man trying to help out his grandfather with his family business. They seal coated my driveway and there was a spot approximately 10 sqft that I requested they seal coat. Chris claims he ran out of material after I paid him and said he would be back in the morning to finish the job. Chris did not return nor did he contact me to let me know when he would be back. As soon as Chris didn't show up, I searched their company name to read reviews and was very surprised and concerned to see such bad reviews, the common theme is that he doesn't get back to you as soon as you pay him and that his '5-year guarantee' is a complete lie. I became very concerned that I would fall victim to his scam and called him immediately (in which he answered right away). I expressed my concerns about his reviews and gave him an opportunity to dismiss my concerns and finish the job that we agreed to. As soon as I mentioned his reviews, he became extremely defensive and combative, a true customer service nightmare and an unprofessional way to speak to your customer. He made ridiculous analogies that I was asking for more than what we agreed to (Again a 10sqft spot to be seal coated), suggesting that what I was asking him for was no different than going to a fast food restaurant and asking for free fries with my meal. Chris goes on to tell me that he still needs to get more material and that he didn't know when he would be back. I continued to press him to give me a date so I could hold him accountable to that, but he refused. Needless to say, he never came back, called back, or returned any of my voicemails.

I had Glen quote me on fixing my concrete issues. He only offered me the option of removing and…read morereplacing my entire front concrete porch that has two cracks in it --one was jagged -- so did not look good ($5500). Another company came out, drilled down the uneven concrete and coated the cracks with matching concrete for $100. Is this a lifetime fix? No, cracks do re-open but even brand new concrete can crack over time. Then Glen said to repair walkway was $2500 (completely take up and replace so it sits at higher angle to front patio so the step up to the front concrete porch is not so high up. Another company put in a form and built me a concrete step that makes it possible to not replace the walkway, and then they filled in concrete imperfections and cracks in the sidewalk and left me extra concrete color, if it re-opens. My garage needed a new step (replace old wood one with concrete) and he quoted me $225.00 which is reasonable, and my side step had sunk and he quoted me $525 to replace it. The other company simply added a step to the side concrete, anchored the new form to the house, recoated original step and charged me $200. Their cost on the garage step was similar but they made it extra wide, so we can fully step out on it. I guess what I'm saying is there is more than one way to fix concrete, and Glen only does it the expensive way. If you have a large budget (I would have had to allot $8000.00), then yes, go for it. I also had concerns that all the drilling of the front patio would affect cracks in basement wall on that side and re-open them and queried Glen re that in the email (no response). Glen does not respond well (if at all) to emails, so remember to call. I think that he does great work, but remember it's only replacement work. He's not going to offer you any kind of "fixing" it work. I've learned through watching the other mason work, that concrete is fixable, also, by a home owner. It's fascinating watching him mix colours to match whatever imperfection needs patching. I now have fixed some low places and cracks in my garage floor myself!!

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.
