Morgan Construction Services

We had a total loss house fire last June. We went through the gambit of dealing with multiple contractors. Most were unreliable and untimely. Fortunately we found Morgan. Our schedule was very limited in the city of Saratoga Springs, and we had more obstacles than passes. With our short time frame Mike gave us confidence in an otherwise grim future. He changed our entire site in 2 days, making all of our new project possible. He showed up every time he said he would....which is great! He's almost done with the project, and I can't wait!

I absolutely do NOT recommend Morgan Construction for driveway/asphalt work. My wife and I hired Mike to tear out our old driveway and relay/repave a new driveway about 2.5 years ago. This was a terrible mistake!

The initial meeting with his sales rep (I believe his name was Richard) was fine. Richard promised the world and was very confident/believable. Problem is Richard didn't do the work. Richard promised that they were able to get started quickly, and that's why we hired Morgan Construction.

Our contract said that Morgan Construction would excavate 8", then backfill with 5" of compacted stone and 3" of asphalt. However, 8" was never excavated. I would estimate that ~3" was excavated. Not only did this not meet the contract of 5" of compacted stone, but it wouldn't even leave enough room for the 3" of asphalt that was supposed to be added. After pointing this out to Mike, he assured us that we have "a good base" and he didn't need to excavate a full 8". Well, Mike was wrong.

Fast forward 2.5 years. We noticed this past weekend that our driveway is literally caving in. I can put my hand into one of the holes...and it's getting larger by the day. Mike's warranty on his work? 2 years. Pretty convenient, huh? I guess he should have excavated the full 8" like he originally said he would do...but never did. I'm now making calls to other more reputable asphalt contractors in the area to see if anyone can fix Morgan Contruction's mess without ripping out the entire driveway (again) and starting over.

Do not hire Morgan Construction for asphalt/driveway work!
