Ron Baker reports the price tag for a new asphalt driveway at his Cleveland Heights home went from a great deal to a nightmare after a contractor knocked on his front door two weeks ago.
Baker told News 5 the contractor offered to do the job for $7 a linear foot, but after the paving crew started the job, the price was suddenly changed to $7 a square foot, hiking the finished cost to nearly $10,000.
Baker showed News 5 the incomplete job on his driveway. The asphalt pavement wasn't rolled and was loose in a number of areas. Baker admits he should not have made a quick decision on the job, should have had a written contract and noticed some red flags with the company while they were on his property.
“They put some little heat thing over it for a half hour and then they left, but it didn’t fix the problem," Rivera said."It got to the point that every time they came out, they were making it look worse than the time before.”
