My wife was approached by a man at our door saying he had extra asphalt and was willing to unload it really cheap if she was interested. My wife and I have always wanted the lower portion of out driveway blacktopped so we asked him how much would it cost for the area we wanted done. He quoted $25/yard which we responded we don't know how to figure that out quickly can you please give us a solid number, he then said he could do the work for about $1250.
We agreed to the price and he had his crew there within an hour and started. My wife went out when they were about half way done and he said things were going well and that they were at about $2200 at the moment. My wife told him that is not what was agreed upon at the begining and he stopped his crew immediatley. He then measured what he had already put down and did the math right in front of my wife and said it would be $2200 for what they had done and if we wanted the rest done then it would run about $3800.
My wife then told him we do not have that much and to stop work. He ended up "settling" for $1700 which we had to write a check for and have since put a stop payment on that check and filed a police report with out district. Please do not do any work with this company and he does go under several different names.

E & J Road Works ripoff

E & J Road Works came to my home saying they had extra ashault left from another job. Told me it would be $23/sq yard laid down. Showed them the area I wanted covered and he said that it would be about 100 sq yards or $2300. I told him that for that price I would let him do it. After laying the asphault he said he had another truck and would do that one for $20/yard. I told him I had to see where we were after the first truck and when he measured it up he said I owed him $4600 which was double what I was told. I told him I would not pay it and would only pay the $2300.
He tried to say that I had not understood what he said. Fortunately I had not signed the contract and had two witnesses. He tried to tell me what a horrible person I was and I told him I was only paying the 2300. He huffed and puffed and finally left. At $2300 I got my monies worth. At 4600 would have been greatly overcharged.
