Kingston Ontario Residents Urge Caution When Choosing Paving Services – Kingston | Globalnews.ca

Kingston residents want to warn the community about the paving service scam.

“I feel a little bit like a victim,” says Jason Harris.

He urges caution when choosing a driveway flooring provider after spending $5,000 for a service. Dynamic paving and masonry He says it is not complete.

“On Friday they came over and did our driveway, and part of the contract was to remove all the trash that was left after they were done,” Harris says. “And they left without cleaning it.”

Several piles of driveway debris could be seen throughout his neighborhood, like Harris’s. His neighbors used the same service.

“I’m really concerned about other people who may not have the ability to deal with a pile of garbage like this,” Harris continues.

He was able to rent a U-Haul with his neighbors to collectively dispose of the waste.

Across town, Frank Drawbridge and his daughter Darlene say their experience with the company was also negative.

“They’re not legit, not at all,” says Darlene Drawbridge.

Like Harris, Drawbridge says he has tried several times to approach dynamic paving and masonry.

“They kept saying they were going to come back to clean up and fix some areas, but they didn’t return phone calls,” Darlene continues. “My dad actually had to track him down on two separate occasions, and both times he said he was going to come. He never did.”

Global News reached out to the company but did not get revert.

“My dad is so frustrated, he’s had sleepless nights over this,” says Darlene. “I mean, there’s a lot of money for him to be out and it’s a lot of disappointment.”

Drawbridge says their driveway is already storing water and their neighbor’s tree was damaged during the paving process.

About three weeks after the work is completed, sections of the driveway remain soft and tacky to the touch, he adds.

“I’m left wondering whether I have a really good product, or whether I have a bigger problem on my hands in the near future,” says Harris.

Kingston Police say this type of situation is a civil matter, leaving those who paid for the services to fend for themselves to try to sue the company.
