Back in January he offered to lay a driveway from my front yard to my garage with extra material he had from a job. He told my wife one price then tried to get me to take another. We agreed on a number which I knew was higher than what he told my wife, but I also knew the value of the work at full price. I was willing to accept this difference.
He performed the job the next day. When I got home, there was a long run of millings in my
yard. He told me he was done and wanted to be paid. This was recycled asphalt chunks. I told him this wasn't what we had agreed to, and he told me he couldn't do the actual heated asphalt due to the cold weather but that the work was done and he wanted to be paid for the labor.
He assured me he would be out in march to seal it and there would be no issues. He has never been back, the rock mess he left is now a weed infested pile of debris. Come to find out, what he laid down would never have been able to be used as a driveway and he had no intention of returning. I called him and gave him one chance to come out here today to settle this outside of court, but he did not call or show. I am filing with the BBB and the MHIC tonight to push the issue. I have received an estimate from another contractor on the costs to fix what he did.
