Horrible experience, I think I was scammed. Story: They came by the house while I was out and told my wife they had "extra" from doing neighbor's and our driveway needed it. They said $48 to fix patches. My wife would always say no, but for some reason said, ok for $48. They say no $48 per gallon, so about $1200!!!! She said Hell no. They said "but we already started". Wife "but I didn't give permission", etc. They gave a real hard sell and she said she didn’t have a checkbook so they would have to wait for me to come home. When I arrived, 80% of the driveway was already covered, they had just sprayed on a coat and filled some cracks in a very poor way. The cracks were not just filled like you would fill a crack with caulk (with precision), they had a good 4 inches of crap on either side. This “fill” was very sandy looking was made the driveway look worse than the original crack. Also there were some large holes and they dumped the sandy stuff in there and sprayed over it. It was obvious it would not last. So we argued about them doing work without permission. They played the Christian card and the Jesus card and I said that had nothing to do with business. Oh, and Jesus would not perform work without my permission and then try to charge me. They gave me a sob story about how they used $20 gallons, but given how thin they sprayed in on, I highly doubt that. The one guy was arguing that my wife said “ok”, but the other guy that actually talked to her admitted she said no. I challenged the first guy to confront my wife and call her a liar, but halfway up the stays he stopped and said he “didn’t want to fight with her”. For some reason I then caved in and agreed to $300. They had run a con on men and broke me done like a used car salesman and I fell for it. I think I was so mad I just paid them to leave. After they left, and too late, I examined the work quality. The hole filler was terrible and will not last. They sprayed over mulch and other debris that was on my driveway. The crack filler was shoddy. They over sprayed and ruined my steps. They over sprayed and got the bottom of the garage door. They over sprayed and got black on my concrete at the bottom of the driveway. The coating was uneven. On the bright side, they did not happen to kill my dog or anything, but that is the best I can say. True professionals…at conning and scamming people. FYI, my driveway is 16x56 or about 900 sq ft. At Lowes their 5gal bucket is $33 and covers 320 sq ft, so about $99 for my driveway (one coat). They sprayed the stuff on thin, so I bet is was even less product and they definitely did not do two coats.
