Slender Paving

Started out great, they were very responsive and were out to quote the job in a couple days. Charged what seemed to be a fair price to chip seal my driveway. I was concerned about longevity due to an area with a steep incline and the monsoon rains we get here in Tucson. They assured me it would hold up and that it would be 100% covered for the first year under their warranty if I had any issues. Sure enough when the rains came the chip seal began to come up. I called a dozen times and left messages asking for help but no response. I called from a friends phone and pretended like I needed a quote in order to get a call back. They said they would be out within a week to look at it but never showed. Now the driveway is 10x worse than it was before the chip seal. $5k down the drain. Stay away from these guys, they do not honor their warranty and will duck your calls soon as they get your money.

Gravel covered the holes and cracks for a short time, but soon ended up in the street. Where I drive and needed the coverage and repairs most is just as bad as before. Nice guy and generous with dry gravel initially, but I left several calls about this and no response.

Having waited weeks for a local paving company to set a date for my driveway a representative from Slender paving knocked on my door and asked if I would be interested in having my driveway blacktopped so I asked for a quote. They came in several hundred dollars above what the local company had bid it for and I said that I would go with the other company. He asked what the bid was and when he was told agreed to do it for the same amount. Promising that they could do it the next day I agreed. A few specific requests, which were part of the bid from the other company (e.g. wings on the entrance), we agreed upon the price and work to be completed. As they were finishing the paving I noticed that there were no "wings" as were requested and physically had been drawn in the dirt with my foot. I was told it would be taken care of and as I had to leave to take care of some business in town I left assuming it would be done as requested - MISTAKE. When I came back the representative came to collect the check I went out and showed him what was not done as requested and he simply said "sorry" and took the check. To add insult to injury, prior to starting the job, he had asked me if I have a 1/2" deep socket they could use to replace all the planks on there trailer which was rotted (just another clue I ignored) and when I asked if I could have it back, he said "could we still use it for a little longer as we are still working on the trailer?" He must have read the look on my face and said "I will go get it for you." Over all the driveway is blacktopped but the wing was not completed and the sides are not done very evenly - having never blacktopped I assume this was normal - but having done concrete work for many years I doubt it to be so. Another concern was that they stated they were out of Meridian, Idaho but all my research on reviews showed them only out of Phoenix, Arizona, all though most of the reviews were fairly good. Lesson learned; go with your local provid

My old driveway was an eyesore. I contacted Leonard Slender, he came to my home the same day. Leonard suggested colored rock chip seal. He provided a sample of the material explaining how it would appear next to the garage and yard. Leonard took me to see other jobs he completed. I decided to hire Leonard to do the driveway. The work was completed two days after our initial meeting. His crew was hard working and diligent. The new driveway enhanced the appearance of my front yard. It exceeded my expectations. Leonard is a knowledgeable professional. I highly recommend Leonard Slender.

I own ABC Insurance in Tucson, AZ and Leonard and his crew recently paved a one-half acre parking lot for us. We are a very busy operation and could not be interrupted during the week, so Leonard's company arranged to do our job on the weekend. I could not find anyone who would do this for me. Before starting, I obtained 11 quotes from Tucson and Phoenix companies. Leonard's price was extremely competitive, and he over-delivered on the quality of work-it exceeded our expectations by being done quicker than Leonard had promised and well within our budget. We looked at Leonard's local paving and chip-seal work and were impressed. Leonard anwered each of my and my wife's many questions patiently; his crew was quick, professional, polite and very clean and thorough. From grading the entire parcel to final paving, we could not have been more pleased--highly recommend Leonard Slender Paving for paving, chip-seal, or even a parking lot sealing job.
