    Had an asphalt driveway installed may of 2022. It looked terrible. They came back out and told us it would look much better after a year of driving on it. Fall 2023 it still looked terrible and now had two cracks. Ive emailed them multiple times. Filled out their online request telling them whats going on. And called and left messages. And not a single reply. They sell you on their 10 year warranty that makes them cost more than everyone else. We wanted the security of knowing we would be safe for 10 years with our investment. Its a complete scam. Ive emailed **** who was our salesman multiple times. I can share them. Ive called their phone and left messages asking for a call back. Ive filled out their online report asking for help with the driveway. 100% avoidance.

    Asphalt and Specialties Company installed a concrete apron to my driveway in July2022. I sent them photos of the pitting and scaling that had occurred by December and January. They advertised a 10 yr warranty and was told they go over and above other companies in that regard because most offer a 1 yr or 2 yr warranty so that is why I hired them for work. I understood they were not working in January and they told me they start in May and would reach out to me then. Ever since then I have either called or emailed on 4 occasions only to be told there is no time frame that they would get back to me after I was told I would be contacted in May. Basically it felt like I was bothering them for asking. Initially I only was seeking acknowledgment of the situation and for some to take 15 minutes to come out and look at it. I have been patient this summer and understand they may have a busy season. I followed up with them again now in September and still have no reply. I was not looking to get the work done right away but havent had any follow up and dont trust that they will get back to me. The damage done to the concrete should not happen in this short of time. I have a 25 yr old sidewalk that looks better than this 1 yr old apron. I would like to request help in this situation.
