      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      Hello, so my issue is that I hired a company to pave my driveway and their employees excavated an area they were not supposed to. The employee offered me a discount for them to continue the work if I paid for the extra portion but at a discounted rate. That option did not work for me as I budgeted to spend what I was quoted. They told me they'd replace it with sod or soil and grass seed but that isn't good enough. They put back the sod already today June 13th. Unfortunately the ground is completely unlevel and dipped in the middle. This will cause the water from rain to pool in the middle of the ground. This area of ground is in front of the gate to my fence. Another reason why this is an inconvenience is I'm having a 3rd birthday party for my daughter and my guests will access my house and yard through that side with the gate. I spoke with the owner Of Canark Paving and she advised me they would do nothing other than fix the sod but did they did not even do that. I also overheard the worker and owner mocking me due to the fact they remembered who I was since I emailed about the special rate they gave me and my neighbour's. I was unaware of this special rate so i was double checking with them.The date this took place was June 13th 2022. The company is Canark Paving. The cost for the work is $7910. Due to all the factors I've listed above I feel like they should be offering me a better price or something to compensate for their mistakes and unprofessionalism. Thanks.

      We needed our walkway interlock repaired so we went with Canark based on the good reviews. We have never been more disappointed with their *********************** etc....They were the most expensive services offered and what we got in return was a very unsatisfactory finish. One of our steps has sunk even further after their job was finished and they refuse to repair it. They took our money and ran. I would never use their service or recommend them to anyone!*****
