Nice new driveway, but left behind a horribly stained street mess
We hired Burnaby Blacktop to install an updated asphalt driveway in our Port Moody home. Their team was responsive, and the asphalt driveway looks good, except for one important thing: the heavy equipment that the company brought to lay the asphalt left behind an incredibly stained, trashy-looking mess on the roadway in front of our home, which has rather spoiled the look of our nice little cul-de-sac and left the neighbours furious with us. Burnaby Blacktop subsequently acknowledged that their team seems to have released a big puddle of used diesel fuel on the road, and then tracked big black tractor-trailer marks in big spirals around the street. When we expressed our distress to the company, and asked how to get the street cleaned up, their polite reply was "sorry about that - the stains should fade over time." We're putting our home on the market soon, and suddenly the street in front of our house has become a public eyesore.
