DO NOT USE TRISTAR PAVING OR REECE PAVING!! Before summer, I signed a contract with Reece Paving to get my driveway paved. He bid on our driveway for $17,500 and we paid a $2,500 down payment. On the day of paving TriStar Paving shows up. They stated that Reece Paving had bid our driveway for 1000sq ft less than what it was supposed to be. So this increased our total by $7,500 which puts us at a total of $25,000. TriStar Paving owner, Louie, stated that the $2,500 down payment was not actually a down payment but is what Reece Paving kept for supplying TriStar the job. Reece Paving did not communicate this. The contract states a down payment. I was not subcontracting this out. So we get the paving done and I am NOT happy with it at all. There are two large spots that they had to patch and several "thin" places where it looks more like black gravel stuck together. Louie assured me that when we get it sealed, that would fix all of these spots. Louie stated they would seal my driveway for $1,600 and it would last three years. I stated I did not have that money now because I was not expecting to pay an extra $7,500 to get the job done. Louie stated that if I can pay $800 when they do the job, then I can pay the other $800 a month later. I agreed to this. The day the guys showed up to seal the driveway Louie texted me and stated that if I paid $1,000 that day they would call it even for all the prior trouble I had. After the driveway was sealed it looked like CRAP. It did not blend in the patched spots or fill in the thin areas. You can clearly see where they rolled in on, which looked good except for the spots they got on my concert. The rest of the driveway was sprayed on so thin you cannot even tell it has been sealed. There is a big line showing the difference between the rolled on and sprayed on.
I reached out to Louie about the issues. He asked that I message him after Labor Day so they can schedule to come out and fix it. I have since messaged him 3 times with no reply. Before our paving job I did not research TriStar Paving because that is not who I hired. After these issues when I did my research, I would have never hired them for reviews with similar issues. I have recently reached out to Reece Paving because I feel a lot of this falls on his lap as well. I am currently waiting for a reply. read more
