Unfortunately the company we selected for pawing of our driveway was not able to complete the project.
Initially, as an excuse, they told me that Quincy Police Department were short on their officers and they could not schedule police detail.
Looking back, I think it was not entirely true. Over the past 3 months I called Hatch Asphalt for status updates almost every week and gradually learned that some of their key workers left the company (like, one of the project managers and then a project coordinator). It feels like the company is going thru some tough time and they tried to keep our project on a back-burner hoping to regroup and get things done. I guess it did not worked out.
When I called them last week they started asking if we would like to reschedule the project to the spring but I was not comfortable dealing with them again. The company will be refunding 50% down-payment we made and we will be searching for a new contractor again once the snow melts.

As a heads-up, within next few days we will be patching the pothole in the driveway in front of our garage gates to keep our area safe till the driveway is finally refinished.
Thank you
