So sorry your driveway is ruined. Who did you use so we know who not to call.

I never hire anyone without checking them out on this website

Sounds like Gypsies.

What sales tecnique did he use on you so we can avoid it when he comes back around?

Short of a Vulcan mind meld why would anyone need to know what his sales technique was ? Trust no one, check everything.

So, who was the contractor unless I missed.

Oh, we just finished a job in the neighborhood & we happen to have some extra sealer or paint left over-we can do your driveway REAL cheap-

one of the oldest scams in creation

Because I am curious to how he approached this homeowner and what he said. Nothing really odd about this question.

OP, could not use your photo link. Sorry that you were "taken". I would report this to Seniors vs Crime.

This type of post does absolutely no good unless you say who the contracter or company was who did the shoddy job.

Seniors vs Crime will tell you NEVER to hire someone who just shows up at your door.

Who did you use??

OP has disappeared and evidently doesn't want to help.

If you want a driveway finished by an expert, use Custom Ram Design. Carlos, the owner, is an artist and stands behind his work. Our driveway is beautiful and we get many people come to the door to see who did it. Their number is: 352-871-0473. I would avoid pavers, as they crack and look dull after one year. Carlos uses concrete coatings and will use a design that specifically compliments your home.

Ok I get the feeling with out a response from the original poster this may not have happened at all

Just how many times are you planning on posting that you don't like pavers? I have pavers, they don't crack, and they look great. Many of my neighbors have pavers and they all look great.

Jim, you are right. There was nothing odd about your question. Some posters are quick to dismiss other poster's thoughts if they are not inline with theirs.

Never pay until the job is complete to your satisfaction.
