KIRO-7 first alerted you about this company four weeks ago -- on how they allegedly ripped-off customers.

According to the state, George Stanley of Community Paving lost his license to work in Washington more than a month ago, it was suspended.

KIRO 7’s Consumer Investigation team found Stanley and his crew still working even though it's against the law.

Just days after Community Paving laid asphalt on Paul Davis’ driveway, the Port Orchard resident was charged more than $2,000 for a job he describes as “shaky, crumbly.”

"It's barely an inch or less in some places," Davis said.

Community Paving’s pitch is a clever one -- State officials say Stanley will go door-to-door offering discounted paving. Once the job is done, customers say the work is usually faulty and the bill through the roof.

Mike Myers of Tacoma says his father fell victim to the paving pitch. Their towing company, Gene’s Towing, paid Stanley more than $40,000 for a newly paved driveway.

"My father just about had a stroke when he saw the bill," Myers said.

By the time Community Paving finished, the driveway was cracked, thin and uneven.

Washington State Labor and Industries has already issued Stanley one ticket. Now they are investigating at least four other consumer complaints.

"This is a common scam. They're going from door to door. Good contractors aren't doing that," said Shari Purves-Reiter of Labor and Industries.

Stanley was arrested in California earlier this year. There he faces a number of felony charges.

California state records show Stanley faces nine felony counts of grand theft, four counts of felony elder abuse, 16 misdemeanor charges and seven other pending felony charges. He also has a warrant out for his arrest for contracting without a license in Arizona.

State officials say Stanley and his crew went from Arizona to southern California then moved north - luring in more than a dozen victims. He was arrested twice in Idaho before making his way across Washington.

Davis says community paving stopped by his place in Port Orchard in early October. He says his driveway is now falling apart.

Davis says he never paid Community Paving a cent, but that wasn't the case for one business owner down the road. He didn't want to go on camera, but he told us he paid $17,000 for Stanley and his crew to repave his driveway.

In a phone conversation with Stanley, he told KIRO 7 that he wasn't aware that his license was suspended until he saw our news report. He claims he's innocent of all charges and says he plans on getting his license renewed in Washington.

As of Thursday, Stanley's contracting license remains suspended.

Davis said he knows it could have been worse, although he's not out any cash he worries others may not be as lucky.

L&I officials says they can’t take any legal action against Stanley because they simply don't have enough on him.

They are urging anyone who thinks have they may have fallen victim to Community Paving to contact them.
