Beware of the man in a new shinny white pickup truck soliciting to reseal your driveway! His pickup trucks rear window has in white lettering, Driveways By Design. He is a fast talker and we foolishly let him do the job. He pressure washed the areas and did not allow sufficient drying time before applying the sealer. The result is terrible with large foggy areas and blistering. We called his phone number, on 3/31/2021 which we learned was out of state, and given a promise he would correct the issue. Have not heard from or seen him since. Please use this as a heads up when you are approached by Solicitors for hire!

I'm sorry to tell you that this is an urban myth in TV. It is not prohibited legally.

Contact Seniors Against Crime and file a complaint. Hope you got a license number and paid by check or credit card.

If anyone just stops by soliciting work, tell them to pound pavement.....period.

I don't know what you mean by an out-of-state phone number. It is probably a cell phone. But, either way, a phone number can be from anywhere.

How do these 'solicitors' get pass the gate security? Not really looking for answers lol

[HeleneGB]

All anyone has to do is press the red button. Anyone can enter The Villages, no security.

Let them pound it, not seal it.

Oldest scam in the book,! Its not that he didnt allow drying time before sealing. He didnt use a sealer, just thick black paint. Scam has been around for decades

[stadry]
