Eight years ago Sandman tore out existing base and supposedly hauled in 6 loads of grade 9 gravel…read morefor a 6"-8" depth base. Blacktop was supposed to be 4 inches thick to accommodate heavy trucks on occasion. The driveway appears to be more like 2.5- 3 inches thick. I had immediate concerns as the driveway did not appear level and had low spots. I was told it was fine! From that day forward I had and still do experience water pooling in a few areas. Each year it gets worse. After about 4-5 years, it was cracking around the edges, center and at the end of the driveway. The driveway also was not sloped properly to drain. Horrible.

Last summer we had Sandman Paving tear out our existing driveway and install a new one. After 2 no…read moreshows, they came to do a full replacement. They were paid 100% half way through day 2, right before completion of work. The owner Jerry came into my house to collect the check for the final payment before he left. The job was not yet completed. Before the workers left for the day I showed them that there were two low spots on the end of our driveway that were collecting water. I suspected the worker didn't speak English and had a hard time understanding. I emailed contacted Sandman about the issue and Eva told me that they would be back before the end of the season to try and heat and roll our the low spots. There were numerous calls and emails from my husband and I, I never heard back from the company. Innthe winter, after submitting a complaint to BBB, I finally got a response from Eva. She said they were closed for the season. They would be back beginning of the season. Since the beginning of the season there had been many calls and emails trying to get confirmation on when they would come out so we could resolve the issue and sealcoat our driveway. Finall after a no show, in June, they came and tried to heat and roll the driveway. It did not resolve the issues. It left burn marks in my new driveway. The workers said Eva would call. I never heard back. After many more emails Eva told me they could seal coat our driveway as compensation. I told her we did not find this fair because the problem is still not resolved and we paid close to $4,000 and a seal coat is $200 or less. I saw the crew and the owner Jerry working in my neighborhood. I pulled over to talk to Jerry about how i have not hear back from Eva. He got in my face accusing me of harassment. Accusing us of not sealing it, we cannot until the issue is resolved. He had us confused with another customer as well. He lit a cigarette while he yelled and blew smoke in my face, 7 months pregnant at the time with my 4 year old in the car. He said he would come cut out the lower portion of our driveway and repour it. I have still have not heard back. Do not use this company. They have terrible customer service, time management and ownership. Jerry only cares about collecting a check, not his employees or quality of work.

The care the entire crew put into building our new patio really paid off. Eduardo and his son Eduardo Jr. are true craftsmen and they have put together an excellent crew.

The cost was more than fair for the quality of the service received. Our patio looks amazing and we highly recommend this business.

I would not hire them again. My patio is fairly new. Before they came it was sealed properly…read more After they came it fell apart after 6 mo. They'll tell you every excuse in the book, saying the patio has too much shade, poor drainage, etc. But the fact is, it was sealed and fine until they came, resealed/sanded it and then it was a disaster. Now I have to get it redone properly again. What a waste of money that was. Do not listen to the excuses they provide. They will reply here and it's 100% a lie. They would not come and redo it for me. So I will never recommend this place to anyone. Poor craftsmanship on their part. And they would not resolve it, so not a trustworthy business. Come with the excuses. Adios. https://youtu.be/e7CbCTkfPxE - view of the shoddy craftsmanship applied to my entire patio. The whole thing looks like this now and did after 6 mo of them redoing the patio. Before this, I never had problems to this degree, period. Nothing even close to this state. My entire patio has sun hitting it, there's no excuses here. There's guards along the edge to keep plants from penetrating it, always has been. They'll throw every excuse at the book while other contractors will just make it right, even if they have to redo such a poor job that did not hold up even for a year.
