"Great experience using Moretti Paving for my driveway. Frank was honest and quick to answer any questions. I had a quote for the job within a day. Pricing was very fair and the work was exceptional and completed quickly. Highly recommend."
"James and his crew did a brilliant job. They were very efficient, did high quality work, and left the site clean. James has also been good to follow up the work with phone calls to suggest things I could doto make sure the concrete cures well. I would not hesitate to have them back, and will certainly call them when I have additional work to be done."
"We recently hired Moretti Driveway Paving and Patios to replace our driveway and install a brand-new patio — and the results are outstanding! From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and extremely skilled. As you can see from the before and after photos, the transformation is incredible. What was once a patchy, uneven yard is now a beautiful modern patio, and our driveway looks brand new. The workmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and they made sure everything was completed on time and exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality paving and patio company, I highly recommend Moretti Driveway Paving and Patios. They exceeded our expectations in every way!"
"Always responds promptly to communications. Best customer service. Knowledgeable competent and friendly employees. Flexible scheduling and arrive when promised. Utilize sophisticated paving equipment. Can't go wrong with this reliable company."
"I have used L&Z Masonry Corp. for multiple projects over the past 3 years. In each case, the work done was excellent. The owner prepared professional quotations with line-item breakdowns of costs. The work started on time and was completed on time. The workers conducted themselves in a professional manner and put in a full day's work every day. The owner regularly inspected the work that was done and had his crew make adjustments to ensure high quality results. The owner also kept me, the customer, informed as projects progressed and was very responsive to my questions &/or changes that I wanted to make. L&Z Masonry exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."
"From the first phone call asking for an estimate, Alex was tremendous. He came out right away for the estimate and took time with us to talk through the options. Quote was provided immediately and upon acceptance he scheduled us for a job on short-notice. I do not have enough nice things to say about Alex and his crew (including his father). He is extremely responsive (answered/returned all calls quickly), attentive, knowledgeable, considerate, and detail-oriented. He was punctual, arriving on time every day on the job. He stayed on-schedule (started the job when he sad he would...finished the job when he said he would) and did top-notch work. When we had questions, or made changes to the scope of the work Alex took time to listen and address our questions with respect. He offered his opinion forcing it down our throat. On the last day of the job, Alex and his crew finished the work around 6pm. Shortly thereafter, some unexpected rain entered the area. Even though I knew a light rain at that time most likely wouldn't have affected the concrete, Alex surprised me by rushing back to the site (just after the rain started) just to lay down some plastic to protect the surface. He had already been paid, and had been several towns away but still had the pride in his work and consideration to come back and make sure there were no problems. Not only that, but he stayed on-site during the rain just to monitor the conditions. While waiting, he even helped me on a totally separate project I was working on! Absolutely fantastic family-owned company. A+ work and service."
"We found Cristhian to be professional and true to his word. The LGC crew did an excellent job. We appreciated their consideration and attention to detail. We would hire LGC again and highly recommend their services."
"Antonio can not be any more different than the average contractor that many of us fret having to deal with. We immediately felt a strong sense of trust with Antonio. He worked with us in providing suggestions to keep the cost of our project very affordable. He takes incredible pride in the quality of his work and the satisfaction of his customer, without relying on high-end pricing to achieve either. The more we dealt with him, the more we got to know what a genuinely great person he is. It made us completely comfortable working with him, and we even joined him and his workers for several morning coffee and lunch breaks. (Our 3-year old daughter even connected with him and often asked to go outside to see Antonio and asked us if he would be coming back the next day). Hands down, Antonio is one of the most kind, gentle, and trusting individuals you will come across, and especially in the world of contracting services. Antonio built us a new flagstone patio, at least twice the size of our fieldstone patio. We could not be happier with the finished project but there are a few points to highlight. Originally, we desired a 16 x 30 rectangular patio and after advising Antonio of our plans to use the patio, he felt that we might want to do 17 or 18 x 30. While my wife had also felt that way from the start, I was very stubborn in giving up a little more of our backyard depth. Antonio noted that if we changed our minds, he could add on to the depth if we so chose. Sure enough, after endless second-guessing and then seeing the majority of the 16 x 30 patio laid out, we decided to have Antonio build it 17 x 34 . The additional dimensions were seamless and despite it being a late change, the patio shows no signs of an add on A couple of final points about the quality: the subtle multicolored stones are exquisite and perfectly draw in the sand color of our siding just as we had hoped they would. Finally, and possibly the most impressive part, is the circular corner section that we will dedicate to our fit pit area. We were extremely nervous about how that would come out especially when learning they would be cutting the circular perimeter BY HAND. They blew our expectations away with the entire project, but the circular firepit section especially highlights the excellent craftsmanship of the work for Antonio. I have already recommended Antonio to friends and family, including a brother who is a quality-obsessed contractor."
The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
Heated driveways cost an average of $12 to $25 per square foot. Depending on the size of your driveway, you may pay between $3,500 to $25,000 in total. Several factors can affect your bottom line, including material, labor, and system types. Investing in a heated driveway can save on snow removal costs because it will automatically melt the snow that falls on your driveway.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
