Bad Quality

They did my driveway in October 2019. I was happy with their work and even wrote a good review for them. However, this year in spring (16 months later) I discovered that my driveway is all covered with cracks. It was shocking for me to see that after I paid lots of money and it began cracking just over a year later!
I called the office and lady asked me for pictures and promised to send someone to have a look. She also mentioned that I will have to pay for repair because it’s been done more than one year ago. I asked her what can be the reason? I use my driveway no more than once a week since I work from home all this year. I live along and have a small sedan so there are no heavy vehicles and no traffic. My neighbors’ driveway was done 5 years before mine and looks like new with two pickup tracks coming and going. She couldn’t answer my question.
It’s been a month since our conversation, and nobody came or even called. I guess nobody would.
Don't let this happen to you. Avoid Mancuso Paving.

Narrow toronto mutual driveway paving

We wanted to give a shout out to Frank and his gang for doing an excellent job with our very narrow Toronto mutual drive. It was extremely important for the driveway to be paved in such a manner that the water from any rain would flow down the middle away from the houses on each side of a very narrow driveway. The drive was done last May and with all the rain we've had this past year, the job Mancuso Paving did was fantastic. Not only that, over this past winter, a couple of small cracks had developed and Frank sent a couple of guys to patch them up. We are very happy with the work that was done and the responsiveness of Frank and Mancuso Paving.

Driveway paving

Mancuso paving did a great job doing our large circular driveway! They came when they said they were going to,they stuck to the price they quoted and did precisely what they promised. Removed all broken pavement, fixed our grading and paved a beautiful new driveway. We would definitely recommend Mancuso!

Driveway

We hired Mancuso Paving to repave our driveway two years ago. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received. The whole staff from the sales rep to the crew were all very knowledgeable and professional. Recently I hired them again to rebuild my retaining wall and once again they have surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend Mancuso to anyone looking to get work done. Its been 2 years since we did our driveway and it still looks fantastic!

Driveway paving

What a nightmare. I won't go into the details of all the mistakes that were made a how long it took to finally get the driveway paved. My biggest issue was that it was paved in June 2014 and cracks appeared in the asphalt within 3 months. I contacted Frank in September and December with photographs and asked what they were going to do to honour their warranty. No response. I then contacted him again June 2015, and his solution was to patch it, which is unacceptable. His final response was that he can't help me because I won't accept a 20 foot patch on a new driveway that didn't last 3 months.

Sept 2015 Update. After going through the BBB and corresponding back and forth with the owner, I'm told that this is not their fault and isn't a warranty issue. Note also that the cracks are now much wider than this original photo, and chunks are about ready to break off. I'm now looking at having this redone at my own expense as it annoys me to see it every time I pull into my driveway.

We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your driveway. Due to existing conditions and certain limitations the driveway could not be met to your satisfaction. It is important to consider that when Frank met with you to discuss this project, you expressed to him that you wanted to widen and repave your existing driveway. Frank then informed you that widening the driveway could be an issue because it would be in close proximity to the extremely large tree on your property which would not be compliant with the City of Oakville. He also warned that the tree would have roots under the driveway which could lead to cracking in the future. With this information in mind you still decided you wanted to proceed with the work.
We came to excavate and widened the driveway as per your request. After this was done the City of Oakville noticed that the driveway did not follow the tree compliance laws and wanted to fine you. Due to this we came back and changed the driveway back to its original size to avoid you having to pay a fine.
When the driveway was paved we used road mix asphalt HL3 which is a stronger mix. We hoped that this would hold up against the roots and make the driveway last longer. We have been very co-operative with you from the beginning when you initially called and complained about the cracks. We came to repair it immediately. We then returned to repair the driveway a second time. At this point when our crew was about to patch the cracks you told one of our workers to leave because you expected the whole driveway replaced. Unfortunately due to the roots on the property and the warning given beforehand our warranty does not cover a full replacement. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to prevent the tree from creating cracks.

Paving

My neighbour and I share a common car parking lot. Mancuso was obtained by my neighbour and recommended for the install. Leo the owner met with me and promised to "treat the job like it was his home". After some discussion Leo recommended that a commercial grade asphalt be used because of the vehicular usage. After some research, this recommendation seemed fitting and was well received. Everything seemed to be coming together.

As I could not be present during the install, I asked Leo to approach me before any changes were made about drainage and the shared boundaries before they proceed as it’s a touchy subject with me, my neighbours and lawyers. They however, did not communicate any changes to me while I was at work. I came home to find a concrete retaining built along the right-of-way/shared property line, without prior notice. To further exacerbate the problem, my chain link fence was damaged removing concrete because it was removed using large machinery (further care could have been taken cutting the fence away from the concrete rather than just tearing it away with a bobcat). Further I still have water pooling in my in garage because it was not graded to drain out. I have sent pictures prior to the winter and was promised that they would address it in the spring (as they were shut down for the season.) It is now spring, and when I try to reach out for recommendations and to vet solutions, my emails go unanswered.

I would not recommend mancuso, as they do not transparently communicate with their clients, and further don’t stand by their mission statement of “treating the job like its their home”.

We would like to take this opportunity to reply to Andrew with respect to the work he has poorly reviewed. It is important to first note that the initial contact was made with his neighbor for landscaping work and re-grading of the driveway. It was clear upon meeting Andrew that there were existing issues with his mutual neighbor. All work was completed on schedule and both Andrew and his neighbor were kept appeased of the work being done. A curb, not a retaining wall as Andrew stated, was installed as per our contract with his neighbor and was fully on his neighbor's property. Also as part of our contract with Andrew, we were asked to remove an old concrete pad in the rear of the property. As the concrete and fence were a minimum of 20-25 years old, the bottom of the fence was built directly into the concrete. Therefore, in order to remove the concrete pad, the fence was damaged. The fence had rusted and deteriorated due to age and there was no way to detach the fence from the concrete in a way that would allow it to be utilized again.
Once the work was completed, it was our understanding that Andrew was completely satisfied as he paid the contract in full. However, as the garage was not excavated, it was only compacted and overlayed. There was subsequent settling which is what caused the ponding. Andrew contacted the office and wanted someone to attend the site immediately to discuss a plan for repair. It was not feasible for this to occur as it was winter and a proper course of action could not be determined at that time. Andrew was told that Mancuso Paving’s policy for repairs is that they are only to be done on Saturdays and asphalt plants are not open on Saturdays until late spring. Also, a specific repair plan is made on site at the time of the repair. Our crew are skilled and experienced employees and repair work is determined specifically on site as required.
In any event, the issue was repaired. This review is both surprising and disappointing as both Leo & Mancuso Paving were sympathetic to the issues between neighbors and had provided work that was timely and professional. Andrew had also committed to removing the poor review after the repair had been completed. It is clear that this issue and dissatisfaction is with his neighbor and not with the work completed by Mancuso Paving Limited.

We hired Mancuso Paving to pave our driving and build a concrete retaining wall. They did a great job and we would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future.

repave driveway

My 30+ year old asphalt driveway needed replacing. Mancuso was recommended by the excellent contractor who had rebuilt my garage. (Turns out they had done the original - so long ago I had forgotten). My big issue is drainage. With an upslope ravine at the back of the yard, all rain and snowmelt must flow down the driveway to the street, but the slope is minimal. Keeping water away from the adjacent house walls is also essential. These requirements were discussed, the gravel bed raked to the required dished profile and left to settle, and discussed again in detail during the relaying of the paving. Some of the interlocking stone front walk had been displaced during removal of the old blacktop. This was all reset during the paving process.
The result - perfect. And at a great price.
