****Avoid do not hire ****
Contracted Javier (Amigos interlock) to do my driveway and backyard which I later removed the backyard scope due to poor contract performance. Although they provide 5 year warrantee but if you call them they never show up.
They did 90% of the driveway in 3 weeks against initial quoted 3 days. Job was done very poorly per following:
1- the pavers were not put in a streight line until I stepped in complained . Attention to details sucks.
2- they had to fix my steps, all what was done was removal and replacement of the pavers, the slop was never fixed . Complained and Javier gave me some nonsense about how houses are sitting on rocks in newmarket and that's the best they can ... brought a second company and issue was fixed.
3- they cheapout on using palemeric sand and limestone screening , there are areas which gaps exist and still not fixed even after I showed to Javier and his crew.
3- They keep asking for money ahead of contractual terms. Avoid paying him. when they were 35% done Javier asked for the 2nd contractual payment which should've been asked for when they had done 50% of the job ... I told him your only 35% done however if your cashflow is low I don't mind prepaying you ahead of terms for 2/3 of what will be due . Instead he left the job site and removed his workers to corner me to payhim up...! To prevent having to deal with different contractor and end up double paying I agreed to pay . Which I shouldn't have cause Inended up bringing second company to fix the mess they called work of art.
4- they have left 4inch gaps between my borders and where my grass line is which they are supposed to be filled with limestone sand . Javier promised to come and fixed it. Well they did come in to fix other poor craftsmanship but he never fixed this,claimed he forgot to fix . By this time his was the 3rd time he said he will fix it and didn't. This after the second round of sealant was applied.
5- 2 days after the first round of sealant was applied there was white stains all over the pavers .. called him and after many heated conversation he came to fix it and resealed. But problem never went away.
6- they never used retainers for borders to keep the pavers from moving away . Brought a second company they were pretty much laughing at how these guys done the job .
I am filing a complaint against small claims court to bring these froudulant people to justice .
I tried keeping this story short. Hopefully this will help you make a right desicion . Newmarket/Aurora people be aware of poor performance which the company has.
