I hired NU LOOK Seal Coating to put in an asphalt driveway. I specified I wanted heavy duty for large trucks to use. He recommended 4 inches of heavy binder and 2 inches of top finish. I had him do the job. He had his crew come back the next day to complete the details and they marked the driveway up badly with a skid loader doing back fill. I called the owner David and he came out to inspect the damage his crew did. He promised me to do a full seal coating as soon as the driveway set for a few months. We stayed off the driveway the recommended day to let it cool and set up. 2 days later I parked my wife's Kia Rio in the driveway and it sunk in on all four wheels and left an impression. This continued with any vehicle. If I turned the wheels in my pickup without moving, it scrubbed a hole into the driveway 1/2 inch deep. I called Dave at Nu Look and told him all the trouble I was having. He promised to come out and check it. That was the last time he ever returned my call. Six months after having the driveway installed, I was using a compact tractor to move some shavings and the back wheels spun like I was in mud and dug down 3 inches. I had to get the pieces of asphalt and a tamp and try to repair the damage. I filled a claim with the Better Business Bureau. He didn't even respond to them. The thing that kills me is he is now advertising an A+ rating with the BBB. I called them to see what happened to my complaint and they told me after 2 years they discard it and restore the companies rating. I have spoken to other people that told me they had the same soft material applied on their driveway. As an experiment, I went to a local Dunkin Donuts that recently opened. I pulled in on their new driveway with my pickup and sat there turning the wheels back and forth and got out to examine it. Not a mark! Apparently, if you get a good company, they can give you a quality job. I paid approximately $10,000 for my driveway and specified I wanted the top of the line, heavy duty. I got junk. Don't you make the same mistake.

Nu-Look Sealcoating name change?

I just wanted to let the people know that no matter how they spell it. Nu-Look Sealcoating or NU LOOK Seal Coating it is the same company with the same lousy workmanship. Dave Harris is the owner. Same guy I dealt with.

NULOOK Lies

I was interested to see that NULOOK has filed a rebuttal saying the problem has been resolved. I am the consumer who was ripped off and I was never contacted. Nothing has changed. David, the owner avoids me like the plague. He has not called or made any attempt to resolve this long standing problem. If they did resolve a problem, it wasn't with me. Probably another customer they blessed with their shabby service. Hey David, if you want to resolve it, go to Pulaski Rd and fix that customer's problems. I have called his business many times and he has never returned my calls. As far as he super BBB rating, I already explained they routinely remove complaints after two years and restore the businesses rating. That is even with an unresloved complaint the company would not even discuss with the BBB.
