M & M came out to redo our driveway. They stated in the contract they were going to remove 4” of dirt and replace with 4” of base. First thing they failed to do he removed roughly one pick up truck load of material from a 3000 sq ft area. It should have been roughly 15 pick up truck loads. Then he tells me instead of base they are going to put down 2-3” of asphalt in stead.
Not understanding or being a professional I thought that sounded good it’s not good at all! I’ll tell you why after speaking with multiple reputable companies they explained to me the importance of a good base something M&M failed to do. I good base provides a strong base for the asphalt to adhere too and one that is flat so you have a smooth ride. It also helps prevent weeds and grass from growing through. If your going to deal with M&M make them do the contract and make sure you put everything down in the contract you want done.
We also noticed multiple spots where the asphalt is about a half inch thick no where close to the 1.25” stated on the contract. Weeks after there are cracks in the asphalt, plants and grass growing through, and it is already breaking apart. I’ve had 3 reputable asphalt companies come out and tell me we’ve been had and most agreed it was one of the worst jobs they’d ever seen. Wish I had shopped around before moving forward with M&M. A realtor showed up a few days after it rained with tons of water standing in the driveway and she asked us if she could refer us to an asphalt paving company bc it looked like we needed work done! Man that one stung after spending $5400 on a $6700 project. Then agreeing to a $7500 project to fix it only to be told by the owner they weren’t interested in doing it for the higher price and sorry for the inconvenience.
We had worked with this company for almost a month and gave them many chances to make it right, including accepting a hire cost only to be left hanging. He even mentioned we’d receive a full refund if they didn’t make it right and here we are heading to court.
Not only that but the product provided by M&M won’t be touched by other companies bc they didn’t put a base down so the whole thing needs to be redone. According to Mr. Nix that’s our problem that we’re having another company redo the job bc they already did the job. Ok but we’re having to do so bc you didn’t do the job correctly.
I’ll leave you with this Mr. Nix is a good salesman but that’s about it. If you get a quote from M&M asking for half up front don’t pay it. The 3 companies I also got quotes from require full payment on completion of project and they aren’t much more expensive. You can private msg me and I’ll be happy to share those contacts with you and your welcome to come inspect the work M&M has provided for us before choosing.
After a we left a bad review they reached out to ask if we would be willing to do the $7500 deal after they had a lawyer draw up the contract and then they’d decide if they were going to do the work. We declined!
He likes to say we are lying which is amusing bc I don’t think he realizes we’re relaying information from our text thread with M&M that came directly from Mr. Nix the owner operator.
Don’t go through what we have and are currently going through. I’ve also found out that 2 of the other companies I’m working with are also quoting others to fix what M&M has done. I’m not the only one but I hope this will help others not get taken advantage of the way we have.
We are seeking a full refund from M&M and if we have to go to court we’re seeking court costs plus additional funds to remove and discard the product they placed.
