Apparently happened a couple weeks ago. Who else makes them anywhere close to the quality/size that Phat Boy made? They were so good. All my favorite places to eat keep closing while the big chains that serve garbage are thriving.
Just turned away a friendly man who is driving an (unmarked) white Ram 1500 with work gear in the back, simply because I've seen this play out before. They typically go door to door offering a quote on a paving job for your front pad, and from everything I've read online the quality of the work done is so bad that it crumbles and falls apart within weeks of being done and you're out of luck on getting it fixed except to pay someone else to start it over.
To confirm something noted in others' anecdotes, he did have an Irish accent but that may not be helpful depending on what kind of crew they run. Historically these crews are using extremely poor quality product, fake credentials, and may not even be in Canada by the time you realize you were deceived.
If you want a quality job on your aging and rutted driveway, it's not likely to happen as a result of a knock at your door. Be especially cautious of a proposition such as "We have extra materials from a previous job and don't want it to go to waste, so here's a discount". Just decline and wish them well, it isn't your problem after that.
