Guarco Construction Driveway Paving & Snow Removal

I would highly recommend Guarco Construction and Paving. We had our driveway replaced and Carl and his crew did an excellent job. Carl is responsive, reliable, skilled, friendly, and responsible. He called right back, came and gave us a quote within the day, explained what he would do. We also had a wooden ramp that had to be removed and replaced at the end of our driveway and Carl had the perfect crew member to do that as well - Carl’s crew were also friendly and skilled - great work ethic and got the job done with positive attitudes. We are extremely happy with his work and would highly recommend this company to anyone.

I would strongly recommend Guarco Construction if you need your driveway re-done. It was a great experience all around. We had called other companies to no avail and Carl responded so quickly. He was professional, kind, honest, timely and most importantly, he and his crew did an incredible job. The driveway looks amazing!!! I couldn't be happier.

We had spent the last few summers touching up our driveway but it was finally time to remove and replace it entirely. Our hesitation had been the inconvenience it creates yet after seeing the smooth process and quality work Guarco Construction did for our neighbor, we reached out to them to get an estimate. The Owner Carl Guarco was responsive and booked our project shortly after our initial call. There were no surprises. He walked us through the timeline and told us what to expect. The project was completed on time and on budget. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work and his team has a high attention to detail. Upon completing the work, he walked us through the job to ensure we were satisfied with the results and gave us lots of tips to help maintain it. Overall the team was professional and efficient. The full process from excavation to paving created minimal disruption to a busy household.

Super result. Reworked and added to the gravel base and compacted it the first day. Let it sit over the weekend and rain settled it more. Then paved it and made a difficult match to existing strip drain. Carl Guarco stayed with the original estimate despite increased material costs. Careful attention to detail.

Fantastic careful work and attention to detail. Guarco and crew listened to what we needed, helped determine the right solution, explained their process, and then executed with precision and thoughtful effort. The driveway was about as perfect as I could imagine. They put time into the edges as if they were artisans. We were very impressed. Clearly an experienced and tented crew who knows what they are doing and works well together. Fair price. We can’t recommend more.

We couldn’t be happier with the end product, as well as the entire process. Carl of Guarco Construction in Granby, CT was responsive, communicative, and thorough from start to finish. He was flexible with scheduling all the pre-planning and site work in addition to planning the final paving; nothing was rushed and he was honest with all ground conditions and concerns. An added plus, he always answered his phone whenever I called to talk about the project. Price was great and would highly recommend.

Carl Guarco and his crew did an excellent job removing the old asphalt driveway at our home in West Hartford and installing a new one. Carl took careful measurements to make sure that rainwater & melted snow would not pool on the driveway. I appreciate that he went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right.

Beautifully done. I love my new driveway. Carl and staff so friendly and hard workers.

I am the sexton for a cemetery in East Granby, CT. We had a drain cave-in. I called numerous people for this small job. No one had the time to look at it. I found Carl Guarco of Guarco Construction. We met the next day. He quoted a price and repaired the drain. Excellent work. Several months later we had another drain cave-in. I called Carl, and within several days the work was completed. Our road is quite long, ending in a culdesac. It's old and was never installed properly. I had Carl look at it and quote a price. We came to an agreement, and as promised, weather permitting, he started the new road. About 4 days to do the job. Start to a perfect finish it took 4 days. Through the hottest, muggiest, and bug-infested days Carl and his men worked and performed. I could not ask for anything more. Thanks Carl.

I highly recommend Guarco Construction. Carl Guarco and his crew just completed paving and curbing my parents' long, steep, curving driveway -- not an easy job. They dug up and removed the old asphalt, gave extra attention to preparing the bed, paved the main driveway, installed curbing and a secondary driveway/parking spot. Carl kept me well informed during the entire process and always responded to my calls and questions right away. The driveway looks beautiful. I would definitely hire Guarco Construction again for other paving work.

Best contractor I have at my home of 33years.Knowledgeable,fair,honest,top quality workmanship,great price and just plain good people...Carl is the best.

Carl and his team did an excellent job! Throughout the entire process Carl was very professional and easy to talk to. He explained what was going to be done every step of the way. His crew was timely and left now messes behind! We will definitely use in the future!

I hired Guarco to put in a new asphalt driveway. From prep of the material under the driveway to the finished product, they did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them!! Thanks!!

My driveway was a big job, tearing out the old asphalt, building up the poor base material as needed and installing over 9000 square feet of asphalt. The pricing on all the bids I got were similar, but I chose Guarco Construction because the owner Carl explained exactly what he was going to do, what we might find along the way that would cause additional work at additional cost, and how those additional costs would be calculated. He then explained his process of paving, giving me two to two and a half inches of compressed asphalt. I knew my driveway would need additional work before the paving to prepare the base properly. Carl gave me the confidence that as we got into the job, I would be treated fairly as the additional costs. I felt the other contractors I interviewed were giving me a sales pitch, and left with the impression that any extras were going to be a profit center for them. Guarco showed up for the site preparation as expected, and the crew did an amazing job tearing out my old driveway in less than one day. They were very accommodating allowing us to get in and out as needed. As they found issues, Carl brought them to my attention and suggested a course of action along with what it would cost. I felt involved with the project every step of the way, and felt the additional charges were very reasonable. I explained my desire for minor changes to the grading, and job foreman Tony listened to what I wanted and did an expert job with the final grade, blending in the different elevations to give the driveway an excellent flow and visual appeal. Asphalt was done on one long day, and the finished product is superb. Any job of this scope is going to have little issues at the end, and Carl didn't hesitate to put the manpower and resources needed to make me happy. A new driveway is a big investment, and the kind of job that most homeowners are not all that familiar with. It is important to chose a contractor that will do good job while charging a fair price. I came away with the impression that Carl Guarco is an honest man, takes pride in delivering an exceptional product, and wants to make his customers happy.

Carl was great to work with. The experience of the team was evident, as the job was done as promised and on schedule. We would highly recommend.

Guarco Construction did an excellent job repaving my driveway. They removed the old asphalt, widened the driveway exactly as I requested, added stone to fill holes in the base and build more base for the widening. Two weeks later they returned to install the new asphalt and graded it to drain rain water away from the house. The finished product looks great! Carl and his crew were timely, courteous and left the site clean and orderly. Carl was easy to work with from start to finish.

Great job. Would hire again. Removed old driveway, laid appropriate base and stamped it down good. Paid particular attention to drainage of water and grade to Highway. Paved with specific amount of asphalt contracted for and rolled it out smooth and solid. Again, great job, very pleased.

Carl came to the home and helped me prepare a new driveway plan that both met our needs and was economical. In addition to the new driveway, we were looking to have the site prepped for a garage to be delivered. He was knowledgeable and worked with the building inspector to make sure the job was done on time and to code. Would definitely recommend! Remember cheap can turn out expensive. Make sure you do your research before hiring a paver.

Carl and his team just finished repaving our driveway, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The quote was reasonably priced, work was completed within the timeframe, and the work quality is excellent. Even the crew was great - polite, awesome sense of humor, and one of the crew performed a magic trick for the neighborhood kids. Great company and great people. I highly recommend Guarco Construction.

If you want the driveway you've always wanted, select Guarco Construction. Their people and quality are top notch. We recently had our driveway removed and replaced by Guarco Construction. It is about 150 feet long, portions of which have a significant slope. I am a Geotechnical engineer with a firm that does work all over the country, almost exclusively commercial. We work with contractors every day. In addition to designing foundations for skyscrapers, we routinely observe paving work, typically on interstate or other major highways. In a nutshell, our job is to confirm that suitable soils either exist or are placed (following removal of unsuitable soils) below pavements and that those soils are properly compacted prior to placement of the pavement surface. Without proper compaction of the soils, the pavement surface will not provide the desired performance or life expectancy. We chose Guarco because after talking to several contractors to understand their process and gauge their understanding of pavement behavior, Carl Guarco seemed to have a better grasp vs. the competition on how to deliver a superior product. I also took the time off from work to observe Guarco‘s activities from pavement removal through preparation of soils, including addition of high-quality base material where needed. I would choose Guarco again to complete a new driveway anytime given their understanding, expediency, polite, friendly and professional personnel, and first-class driveway product. Thank you, Guarco.

Carl responded promptly to our call and made an appointment to come take a look. After reviewing the damage Carl concluded that only half the drive needed to be repaved. We were not in a rush to have the job done and worked it out with Carl for it to take place later in the season. About half way through the summer Carl stopped by to tell us he was running a bit behind but had not forgotten us. It was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Workers were respectful, professional and good natured. I am not exaggerating when I say you will be as pleased with your results as we are with ours. The entire crew is conscientious and strive to get the job done right. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend him.

We have a long asphalt driveway that was in need of removal and replacement. Carl responded quickly to our request for an estimate and provided a competitive bid for this service. We we impressed with all the positive reviews on Angie's List. Carl and his team have lots of experience and the crew was very skilled and professional. Attention to detail and quality was excellent. They were hard workers and and worked well together. We recommend Carl and his team for your driveway project.

We now have the best driveway in the neighborhood. Excellent work in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price, Carl Guarco and crew delivered on his promise. We are very pleased.

Carl Guarco came out himself to measure the driveway and provided me with a reasonable priced written estimate immediately. Carl impressed me by his knowledge and extra attention on the pitch of the driveway on different sections to ensure proper drainage. We also had masonry work being done and Carl worked great with the masonry contractor so that he removed the old driveway prior to the masonry work and then waited to lay down the pavement after masonry work completed. The masonry/driveway seam is impressive. I would definitely recommend Guarco Construction for new driveway.

Carl Guarco, owner, was here right on time, 7pm, Friday night. He carefully inspected the crumbling driveway, discussed options, scope of work, price, guarantee, references, insurance, start and finish dates, and CT license. He covered it all. His consultative selling skills allowed me to decide right on the spot, that he would do the work. Thank you, Carl
