One Satuarday afternoon last april a Man from Roualside Paving Inc showed up at my house and asked me if i was interested in paving my driveway. I had two other qoutes at this time and his price was almost half of his competators. In may they came to start the work and took the top layer of gravel off and put down some fresh stuff and compacted it. I was told they would be back in two months to pave it and that it needed time to settle and be driven on. One week later i came home and it was paved! I called and asked why? He told me that thye did a compaction test and it was hard enough to pave and that i could park on it in three days. He came 5 days later for the rest of his money and asked me why i hadn't parked on it yet and i told him i was concerned because it seemed really soft. He assured me it would be fine 5 days was more than enough time. My f-150 sank into the driveway an inch where i parked. And my wife dodge neon was leaving tire marks all the way from the bottom to the top where she parked. When i call him to come out and look he said it was normal for some tire marks and they would go away. After the first rain fall when the driveway was wet you could really see the poor quality as there where also FOOTPRINTS all over. when i called him he told me that they were mine and i walked on it to soon!!! Not the case. They were soles from steeltoe boot not running shoes!! By the end of the summer my driveway looked horrible and i had asked him a dozen times to come out and look at it. At first he stood me up 3 times saying he would be there at a certian time and then not show up or call. when i called him to find out where he was he got angry with me and told me he had jobs to do and they were more important. BS. I took pictures and mailed them registered mail. Called his boss and even his boss was giving me the run arround and told me that it was the salemans job to keep the customers happy and not to bother him>> again BS. So here it is a year later and i am now going to take legal action against them. I have Miller paving engineers coming to do a compaction test and sample of the paving. Oh yea i didn't notice until the spring thaw that they took the layer that they scrapped of and dumped it in the bushes at the side of my house causing a water dam and the run off doesn't make it to the road. my estimate is about three yard of gravel and dirt.
I am totally disgusted with there work and told all the neighbours what was happening and some of them lost there deposit because they didn't want them to pave there driveway.
IF ANYONE SEES A ROYAL SIDE PAVING SIGN PLEASE STOP AND WARN THE HOME OWNER OF THESE GUYS AND THE QUALITY OF WORK THEY DO.
