I am shocked that paving isn't amongst your many skills. I have a lot on my plate right now, but I may be able to squeeze your project into my schedule. I'm going to need a hefty down payment in the form of a certified bank check; Bob Vila doesn't come cheap.

:lol:
This mult is pretty good.


Absolutely. Used sparingly, with perfect timing.

I would never let a guy named "Hitler" pave my driveway. Or run the country.

Talk about ruining a name AND a moustache. I mean, that used to be a popular style.

Now that you mention it, the Autobahn is rather smooth and luxurious.

I'm a little sad that this guy may in fact be sick, and I am not entirely proud of cancelling the contract but at this point, I did not see a viable alternative. The customer service and communication was quite poor. The BBB complain board seems to strongly echo very similar complaints. When I heard that the warranty service was poor, and the communication poor, it seemed to be my only choice.


I don't think there's any reason for you to feel bad about cancelling the contract. Based on your experience and the experience other people have had with this guy I don't think you had, as you said, any other choice. Even if his illness and excuses are legitimate, that's an awful lot of hassle for a customer to put up with in good faith.

It's gravel and I wanted to pave it with asphalt.
He had mine, my across the street neighbors driveway, the next door neighbors two driveways and his mom's driveway two more houses down. Well he's lost them all now I guess.

So the neighbors were supposed to get the drives done today... and guess what, no show. Again.
I went and got my permit for mine to get done, it takes 2 business days apparently. I asked if the neighbors had gotten a permit (the contractor was to have gotten permits) and they have not gotten an application for either of the three other addresses.

Your driveway should take all of 10 minutes to pave & 10 minutes to proof roll.

report to the city and any inpector with a shit will stop the guy from getting permits.

Such an easy, but pain in the ass issue to deal with, surprised Darko having the issues.

Maybe QBov can write a very stern letter for you.

I got my permit, and a contract with a reputable contractor for 8/21. No issues here.
Got my original deposit back. The new contractor did not ask for a deposit.
The other poor neighbors still dealing with this bozo.

One does. The guy who set up the whole thing.
The other neighbor, the Flanders, don't talk to us too much but they've got two drives and were also going to do the moms drive one more house over.

If this guy has the residents pull the permits...then the dude has little to worry about. For all we know, the Village already knows about him.

Nope. He said he was gonna pull all permits.
Getting the permit was actually kind of a pain in the ass. I'm shocked if he actually was going to do it.

If you read the reviews of him on the BBB and other places you can see this is a routine thing.
Kinda went thru the story a bit with the new contractor and he said that guy is a total asshole and he doesn't honor warranty work, might never answer the phone ever again or call back. He told me he's done a lot of repair on his work.
