Type of a scam Home Improvement
The owner of Hot Pave, Jamie Mayson, or one of his employees comes to your door during the daylight hours ( I believe to target the retired or elderly population) with his asphalt truck and says he was pouring asphalt at a job down the road and has some extra that he needs to "get rid of right now while it’s hot." He offers a very cheap price since it’s left overs, and has the homeowner sign a form that says he can dump and roll the asphalt. He does NOT provide a written estimate "because I’m not sure how much is in there still but you will like the price " , he assures the person. He then presents an outrageous bill to the homeowner – $3800 to my father, $5200 to another elderly man that I know….and the homeowner feels trapped into paying because the asphalt is already spread AND because they signed the paper before the asphalt was laid….which Mr Mason reminds them of. When I called to complain, Mr Mason said " Oh, my son must have estimated the job wrong and I will send your dad an $1100 refund check. Which over a week later he has NOT received.
Homeowner was paid $1100 in full. People file a complaint but when we stick by our word they don’t update their complaint.
