I had Davano paving pave my drive about a month ago. It was around 2000 sq ft. They tore out the old asphalt and related. I got m4 estimates and davanos was the best price. I've worked comercial construction for 45 years and this company was very professional. The owners Carmen and Vince worked right on the job to make sure everything was perfect all the men worked hard and all knew what they were doing. I know is only a month but I feel I got all I payed for and more. Excellent job !!!

Review: Had driveway paved Aug. 2009 by 2012 we were getting noticeable bumps in the one section of the driveway. Contacted Mr. [redacted] he said he would send someone out to heat and pound down bumps. No one ever showed up. Contacted him again last summer he assured me he would come out and repair it. Again no show.Mr. [redacted] said the slag in the driveway was causing my problem.My question is he should have seen the base for the black top considering it was a gravel driveway.Desired Settlement: Repair the sections in the driveway which are bad. All I want is my driveway fixed.

MR, [redacted] HAD CONTACTED ME IN 2009 TO PAVE HIS DRIVEWAY. I MET WITH HIM AND REVIEWED HIS DRIVEWAY WITH HIM* I EXPLAINED THAT WE WOULD GRADE HIS “EXISTING” STONE BASE, ROLL IT AND THEN PAVE HIS DRIVEWAY. HE AGREED AND THE JOB WAS COMPLETED ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACTED SPECIFICATIONS. MR. [redacted] WAS WELL SATISFIED WITH THE COMPLETED WORK. [redacted] HAD THEN CONTACTED ME IN 2013 AND WANTED ME TO LOOK AT A SPOT ON HIS DRIVEWAY. HIS WORDS WERE “A BARELY VISABLE SPOT THAT YOU CAN ONLY SEE WHEN THE DRIVEWAY IS WET”! I WENT TO HIS DRIVEWAY AND COULD NOT FIND THIS SPOT. THE FOLLOWING SEASON (2014) HE STOPPED AND ASKED IF I HAD SEEN THE SPOT IN (2013). I HAD EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I DID LOOK AT HIS DRIVEWAY AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ANY AREAS AS HE DESCRIBED. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I WOULD MAKE A SECOND STOP AT HIS DRIVEWAY AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN FOR THIS SPOT, WHICH I DID AGAIN AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ANY DEFECTS. TO ME IT COULD BE A RESULT OF A BAD “EXISTING” STONE BASE, (STEEL SLAG), WHICH IS A GASEOUS SLAG WHICH IS VERY INEXPENSIVE AND COMMON. I EXPLAINED TO MR. [redacted] THAT GASES IN THE SLAG WILL MAKE PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO WHAT HE IS EXPLAINING TO ME. MR. [redacted] UNDERSTOOD AND WAS RECEPTIVE TO THIS. MR. [redacted] STATES THAT HE WANTED OUR COMPANY TO “POUND DOWN” THESE PARTICULAR AREAS. I CANNOT FIX WHAT I CANNOT SEE. OUR COMPANY CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STONE BASE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED BY MR. [redacted]. OUR PROPOSAL WAS FOR GRADING THE EXISTING STONE BASE AND PAVING OF THE DRIVEWAY ‘IN PLACE”. MR. [redacted] STATES IN HIS COMPLAINT THAT OUR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE STONE PRIOR TO PAVING. CHEAP STEEL SLAG AND REGULAR SLAG LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL. ULTIMATLY MR. [redacted] IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAD DECISION TO USE A SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT ON HIS DRIVEWAY YEARS PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL. IF YOU COULD SEND OUT A QUALIFIED FIELD TECHNICIAN TO MEETWITH ME AT MR. [redacted]S DRIVEWAY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THE PAVING PROCESS AND THE DETAILS OF THIS PARTICULAR JOB. “ASPHALT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE FOUNDATION THAT IT RESTS UPON” SINCERELY[redacted], DAVANO PAVING COMPANY
