I decided to have the asphalt on my driveway redone so I called a few companies in the Avon Park, FL area. Spoke with Zachary Watson from Goodfellas Sealcoating & Paving and he seemed nice on the phone. Quick to get me an estimate and settled on a price. Zach asked me for a deposit of 50% of the job which I gave him at the time happily. We set up a date to do the job and I was excited.
The day came for for him to do the work and I call him to confirm and that’s when things started to go bad. He gave me an excuse as to why he couldn’t come that day but said he’d be there the following day. Things happen, I get it. The next day came and again I call him and he gives me an excuse as to why he can’t come and that the job would have to be rescheduled. This same pattern happened 3 more times over almost 3 months with a different excuse as to why the job could not be done. Broken equipment, trailer being welded, no asphalt at the plant, the asphalt plant is broken and a few others.
I asked him him for my deposit back and he explained it would take him a few weeks to get it for me. I’m completely guessing that he is probably broke and runs his company from job to job.
Zach and I agree to try one more time to get the job done and he showed up. His equipment is old and small and was broken down in my yard. He tore up my lawn and my neighbors lawn and left ruts everywhere with his equipment. His estimate quoted a bonding agent and two coats of asphalt. No bonding agent was used and he layed one coat of asphalt but the job was done and since he couldn’t afford to refund me I felt it was a win.
The pictures of the work completed on his google page in my opinion could not of been done by Goodfellas Sealcoating & Paving because his equipment is way to small and too old but I could be wrong.
Stay away from this company! Read his Google reviews which are quickly turning real bad for him and his brother Michael Watson. They will rip you off, give you a crappy, low budget job and you will be chasing them for either your money or to finish the job. If this helps one person then it was worth writing.
