What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I had a paver double driveway installed three years ago. Every winter beginning in the first year, the bottom of the driveway lifts. Six - ten pavers are loosened. I have called the landscaping company every year since the install and they have fixed them. This year they refused to call me back or fix the driveway. They have told me that I'm out of warranty. My questions are: 1) shouldn't the warranty start for the repaired part of the driveway after each fix? 2) Don't I have an implied warranty that the pavers will do what they were purchased to do? Be a part of a permanent driveway? 3) There is obviously a defect at that part of the driveway since it's the same area and the same pavers that lift after every winter. Is the landscaper responsible to fix the underlying problem that is causing the pavers to lift after a cold spout?
It is very frustrating and I want to hire another company to fix it but feel the original company should be held accountable since the product has never worked to what it was intended to do - be a permanent improvement to my property.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
