DO NOT HIRE. WORST PAVING I'VE EVER SEEN. If this deters one person from this company then this…read morereview has been worth my time. Owner, Kevin Consaul, may seem responsive, but runs an unethical business. We hired them to remove the old driveway at our new home, remove some cement and repave. Not only was the CONTRACT BREACHED in multiple ways, but Kevin & his foreman Anthony Close (subcontractor from Precision Paving & Concrete) attempted to lie about the cement found under our driveway. The original quote (which we now realize was outrageous) was for $12,244 to remove and repave a roughly 1,872 square foot driveway. After removing our old pavement on the first day and filling in gravel, they created and sent a $5,500 Change Order in an attempt to increase the price which stated, "825 cubic yards of concrete & additional stone to fill back in". By doing basic math, we calculated & replied that this was outrageously false as it would've meant they found & removed a cement layer 6 ft. deep under our entire driveway & would've needed 40 truck loads of gravel to refill. This was not true per surveillance footage: they brought 1 truck load of gravel & refilled everything - cement was not under the entire driveway. After being called out, the owner blamed the 'mistake' (aka egregious lie) on his foreman entirely, even though he created & sent the change order himself. After extensive property damage on the first day, Kevin promised in an email that he would fix everything and said, "I will make certain that your driveway comes out perfect!!". We allowed them to continue the job, trusting his word.
KEVIN DID NOT HOLD TO HIS WORDS in the least. The job was done so poorly & his abhorrently immature, disrespectful attitude & blatant ignorance is shown in video footage; from him laughing when confronted, to open admittance that neither the owner Kevin Consaul, or Foreman, Anthony Close, know how to do math (on video), we should've fired them at the FIRST of many RED FLAGS. (We wish we could include an 11min video of our ending discussion with them, which revealed their untrustworthiness, but only 30 sec is allowed.)
BREACH OF CONTRACT: DID NOT properly grade or install pavement correctly or include quoted amount of 2.5" of f6 asphalt (see images); reduced the sq ft. of our driveway; Left EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE: broke mailbox, steps, railings, garage door frame, left garbage/ large messes of concrete & pavement, destroyed garden by running over plants; LIT BUSH ON FIRE - employee caught on footage was not paying attention to where he was pointing a blowtorch. No one even attempted to fix any items listed via email that were broken (as he promised) or compensate for damages. The list goes on. We paid much more than was deserved for such horrific lack of workmanship. I was not able to see how bad the driveway was since it was dark when I got home, so I should have told him to get off my property and had my lawyer contact him. I hope others STEER CLEAR of all business endeavors by Kevin Consaul who suffers from severe lack of character & decency towards his customers. If he behaves in the manner we experienced, I can only imagine the appalling ways he operates any of his other business ventures.
Everything Kevin & Anthony claimed was lies; we continued to give him the benefit of the doubt, but every time their statements turned out to be false. He'd try to smooth things over to get us to be quiet. Unfortunately, we continued to give him the benefit of the doubt, only to be lied to. His claim to have insurance to cover the property damages was a lie.; claimed he had a 1 yr warranty that he was willing to extend because of his confidence in their work. Not only was there no warranty, but as is shown in the photos, the pavement was horribly done. He said he'd fix all the property damage right away, but did not; claimed, "at least 2.5" asphalt had been added, if not more" - complete lie, barely 1.5" in some places. These are only a few of the lies that he told. We're kicking ourselves for continuing to believe the lies, and for not ending the project each time he would break his word.
