I came home from work, and they were just finishing up. It was raining most of the day. Harder when I was on my way home. I've read that you're not supposed to pave in the rain, because of the oils in the asphalt. They just left afterwards. Besides the yellow caution tape across the driveway, not a word from any of the workers. I emailed to ask if the work was done, and that there were no instructions left. I asked when it was safe to park in the driveway. They said 5 days. So we also read that give it a week before parking on it. We waited almost two weeks. I came out after the first night, and found my tires sunk about 1/4"- 3/8" in the asphalt. My wife's tires also left indentations. I emailed pictures, and was told it shouldn't happen, but it does. I was also told that maybe when I drove in the driveway that I pressed on the brakes too hard. It's not that big of a driveway to do that. We stayed off the driveway way another week. I emailed again and she told me that it's normal because it's hot out. We decided to park back in the driveway. Well, we ended up making more indentations. I emailed again to share my concerns and that I would not pay the balance. She said that she would have the owner call me. He never called. He instead, showed up unannounced on a Saturday about a week later. I wasn't home. He spoke to my wife, said he sees nothing wrong, they do good work, and I have to pay. She mentioned the day they came that it was raining, he says it wasn't, and that he had called me. He told her to have me call him. I never spoke to him before, therefore I don't have his number. I emailed that I want his number or for him to call me. Nothing. I called and left messages. Nothing. I finally reached a woman who told me that he is in the field and doesn't get service, when I asked for his number. Huh???! She took my number again, and still no call from him. I emailed every day saying that I have his check, and for him to come get it and talk about the bad workmanship. No emails back. No calls back. Obviously they know something is wrong, and they will have to fix it. I took pictures of my driveway in the rain. There is puddling in many spots. It's horrible. I have talked to other people who have had their driveway done around the same time. They have no indentations. If this is normal, why is mine the only 1 of 3 done by Nardi's, that has this problem? Yelp review is step 1. Next, I am going to BBB. Then to social media. Last stop, small claims! The cheaper price is not worth the aggravation afterwards. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more
