BUYER BEWARE: This company paved my driveway in May 2023, and the asphalt failed during the first winter—less than nine months later. A driveway that costs tens of thousands of dollars should last around 20 years—not less than nine months.
Since spring 2024, I've repeatedly contacted the company by phone and email, hoping they would stand behind their workmanship. Instead, I've experienced more than two years of unanswered calls, broken promises, and repeated inspections with no resolution.
In 2025, salesman Joe Reehl inspected the damaged driveway and said he would discuss repairs with the owner once L. Browe was working in the area. I never heard back.
I continued calling and emailing. In May 2026, another employee, Joey, met with me, assessed the damage, and said someone would contact me within two weeks regarding repairs. No one did.
After another call, I scheduled a second inspection with Joe Reehl on June 20, 2026. After looking at the driveway again, he told me, "I'll speak with the owner. It's his decision." Once again, I never received a response.
In July 2026, after yet another call to L. Browe, employee Gabby Boomhower told me she had heard they could "patch the damage" but understood that I didn't want a patched driveway. I replied, "That's correct. Patching a driveway that failed because the base wasn't done properly doesn't seem fair to me." (See the second video.)
Gabby then gave me owner Lorne Browe's cell phone number and suggested I call him directly. I did, but he never returned my call.
I want to be fair: the paving crew's work ethic was excellent. My complaint is not about the crew—it's about the company's refusal to stand behind its work after the driveway failed.
Mistakes can happen on any job. What matters is how a company responds. After years of phone calls, emails, inspections, and lack of follow-up, I am warning people so they don't end up in my position. Note: These videos document the condition of the driveway and the issues I've described:
