BBB Fraud Alert - Bargain Driveway Paving

Asphalt Company Will Ruin, Not Resurface Driveway


Colorado consumers have been getting bargain deals for resurfacing their driveways from door-to-door salesmen, but the quality of the final product has been just as low as the price. The BBB is warning consumers to be aware of a scam involving a company offering to pave driveways with “leftover” asphalt from a previous larger job. Customers have been typically left with poor work that must be replaced.

Misleading solicitations like these can be avoided if consumers look for the specific warning signs offered by the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association (CAPA). The following aspects of a potential offer are normally uncharacteristic of a reputable asphalt company:

 Solicitor claims its “leftover” asphalt.
 Deal is too good to be true.
 Company only accepts cash.
 A “one-time offer” is presented.
 Involves a door-to-door salesperson.

If you suspect you have been presented with a questionable offer, contact the BBB at 719-636-1155 or check the company’s reliability report at www.bbb.org.

Additional information on asphalt pavement can be obtained by contacting CAPA at 303-741-6150 or their Web site at www.co-asphalt.com.
