Bottom line: Poor quality work and lots of excuses. Do not hire.
We were approached in early August of 2018 by Morgan's Paving to pave the driveway to our home. They were performing a job in our neighborhood and said they could be there later that day or the next day. After negotiating a great deal, they sent over a wildcat to clear a patch of grass they were going to pave over. The operator just dumped the grass and dirt in large piles in our front yard with no attempt to smooth them out. After over a week of cancelling and rescheduling for various reasons (weather, asphalt provider closed, etc) they finally came and the result was very sloppy. Several patches of the driveway were very rough with large crevices, the seams between sections were uneven and curved, the edges near the house and fence were just piles of rock and unpressed asphalt, there was a hump in the middle of the straight part of our drive almost like a speed bump, the end of the driveway at the street had grooves and was not even. When we asked Dino (the owner) about it, he said we had to get it seal coated to fill in the gaps, which would cost another $2000 and would not even fix the problem. Additionally, there were loose rocks and debris all over our walkway and adjacent to the drive with no apparent attempts by them to leave the job site in a tidy manner.
Within a week the driveway had already started to deteriorate and we also noticed that there was a depression near the house that was filling up with water and funneling it towards the house when it rained. The depression was located over the spot that had been cleared on day one and was a result of them not using any rocks or base material below the asphalt in that area. Subsequently, grass and weeds began growing through the asphalt in multiple places, and chunks the size of golf balls have since come out, leaving holes down to the dirt below.
Unhappy with the quality of the work, we called Dino and asked him to come back and address the issues we were having. He agreed and said he would be back in the next few days. After a couple of weeks without hearing from him, we called again and the excuses began. First it was that their asphalt provider gave them bad asphalt due to wet weather, then it was they had to lay some portions by hand because their truck was too big to make the turn (even though the area he referenced was almost the size of a basketball court). Phone calls every 2 weeks until the end of December yielded more excuses (lost our number, truck was in a wreck and waiting on repairs for over a month then totaled by insurance and he was looking for another one) and no resolution. Now he will not even answer my phone calls.
We had another company provide an estimate to fix the driveway, and they told us "this job is so bad we would have to tear it up and start from scratch." We were waiting to post a review to allow Dino the opportunity to make things right, but that is obviously not going to happen. We cannot recommend Morgan's Paving due to them cutting corners to save cost, their poor quality of work, and their terrible customer service. read more
