The worst decision we ever made was hiring Yorkway Paving & Construction. Robert definitely knows the talk and makes you feel like you are in good hands and that they will guarantee their work, but none of that is true. The quality of install is horrible, they don't respond to any calls to fix the issues and definitely over charge! Beware, they should be reported to the Better Business Bureau. Yorkway Paving was referred to us and the biggest mistake we made was trusting the referral, which in the end we found out was a friend of theirs. I hope this review can help others not make the costly mistake we made by hiring Yorkway Paving & Construction.
This is a very unprofessional company, and I would not recommend them at all. I am extremely disappointed with their service. They left my driveway incomplete and I have been following up with them for more than 3 months on an almost weekly basis. They promise to come but don't turn up and don't even return my calls. I will need to source the stones myself so that my driveway can look complete. You can see from the pics the sloppy job they did, not even 3 weeks had passed when plants started popping up in between the asphalt. I have no hope of them rectifying it. Their contract says that their work is valid for one year but that is useless , if they can't come to complete their work, I have no hope of them rectifying anything.
The actual paving and work done on the driveway was really good. However they were very careless and sloppy with just about every other aspect of project.
1) Empty & half full coffee cups were left on my veranda
2). About a half dozen black circles and streaks on my lawn. The grass is dying in these spots. This is where they put their pails with diesel fuel so they can clean the asphalt off their shovels and other tools. The pails were put right on the grass and there was spillage. Nothing was used to cover and protect the grass
3) My garage door was left open and my sprinkler, attached to my hose in the garage, is missing. It’s fairly obvious they used my water and therefore my hose during the project
4) The yellow barrier tape was strung along the end of the driveway blocking access from the road and along only side of the driveway blocking access from the lawn. Not a big issue but still another example of cutting corners or not paying attention. If it was necessary to block one side of the driveway with yellow tape, why not the other
4) When they initially showed up to tear up the existing driveway, I was told to move my car off the driveway by 7:30 am. At 7:10 am there was a pounding on my door and when I opened it, one of the workers started yelling at me that my car was not moved yet.
l signed a contract with " Mike " from Yorkway Paving May 29/2020. He also signed it. l phoned Mike many times as when they would pave my driveway and he kept saying the following week. The following week never came. I phoned and e-mailed the company asking for my $ 200 deposit back. No answer. Be Warned- DO NOT deal with this company. Stan B Fenton 905 788 1322 (Welland)
After speaking with Rob ( the owner ) l was told " Mike " the salesman was no longer employed by Yorkway. That was good news. Rob reimbursed my $ 200 deposit. I have no further issues with Yorkway Paving..Stan
I am sorry for any inconvenience. Mike no longer works for the company. Please call the owner ROB ALPINELLI directly at 416-410-5026 to resolve any issues you may have.
Thank you
Mike took our $200.00 dollar deposit in April. Has ignored us ever since. Snake oil salesman! Shame on me, should of seen this crook coming.
Looks like we're not the only people that have been scammed by this fine gentleman.
Signed a contract 2 1/2 months ago (June 22nd), Mike has promised 3-4 times on a specific dates that they would show up to do the job each time no show no phone call. The latest date was Sept.3rd. That date was given to me when I simply asked for my $200. deposit to be returned. It has become apparent that I can not trust this company and I recommend that you do not also.
This company just repaved my driveway and I am quite displeased with the quality of the finished product, not to mention that they made the process totally unpleasant. Can't believe they have been in business for more than 30 years!! At first, the salesman seems knowledgeable and they came very quickly after I gave them the contract. However, one of their workers got injured on the job and they had to stop the work for an investigation. Once the investigation was completed, they were not allowed to continue and left a pile of rubble in the middle of my driveway. It took them 5 WEEKS to come back, even though they were given the authorization to come back a week later. Never did they phone me to give me updates. Total lack of communication! I had to phone them every week to find out when they would be coming. When they finally showed up, they expedited the work, left the asphalt surface not as smooth as expected and half buried a water drainage pipe. The minute the job was finished, the salesman was at my door asking for his money. He didn't even offer a rebate for the inconvenience! And women beware! It is the most macho company I ever dealt with. The salesman kept calling me "Love" when addressing me, and I felt I wasn't treated the same as a male customer.
