Paving Scam Warning for NY, NJ & PA Homeowners
Homeowners across the Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) are being targeted by door-to-door paving scams offering “too-good-to-be-true” deals.
At Warner Paving, we believe in protecting our community—so here’s what you need to know before hiring anyone.
Common Paving Scam Tactics
Many scam contractors follow the same pattern:
Unsolicited Door Knocking
They show up uninvited, claiming they were “working nearby.”
“Leftover Asphalt” Pitch
They say they have extra material and can give you a “discount today.”
→ Legit contractors do NOT operate this way
Demanding Cash or Large Upfront Payment
Often asking for full or majority payment before work starts.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
“This deal is only good right now,” or “we’re in the area today only.”
No Contract or Documentation
No written scope of work, warranty, or proof of insurance.
Disappear After Payment or Poor Workmanship
Many victims are left with incomplete or low-quality work—and no way to contact the contractor.
Real Risk to Homeowners
These scams can cost homeowners thousands of dollars, often leaving behind:
- Uneven or failing driveways
- Thin, poorly installed asphalt
- Drainage problems and cracking within weeks
- No warranty or recourse
How to Protect Yourself
Before hiring ANY paving contractor:
- Verify local business address
