"Very professional, on time (early!!), great customer service. Price competitive compared to other contractors for asphalt paving and cobblestone edging of our very large driveway (over 4300 sf). Eric was very personable and kept his agreements. Lee showed up with a crew of 6 workers and really got the job done quickly and professionally. The only sacrifice is, with more than one worker working on the same line of cobblestones, they had to meet in the middle, resulting in some stones needing to be cut smaller to fit in along the edging. Not a real problem unless you're a perfectionist with a bit of ocd tendencies (me? lol). Otherwise it looks & works great. Expensive, but money well spent, a real upgrade in curb appeal."

"Last year, part of our Asphalt Driveway was slowly sinking and sink holes were slowly appearing everywhere, Bill had a very good quote and we had him fix this. After he fixed the sinking section he let us know that next time we are ready he could expand and replace the whole driveway to prevent shuffling the parked cars. Come this year around end of April 2020 we had him quote to not only replace the whole driveway, but expand our driveway from a single lane driveway to a two car driveway. Bill arrived today with his crew early and on time at 7AM, and from beginning to end the process was very quick and efficient. They even gave us more driveway than expected, and that is very much appreciated. Bill's prices are very reasonable, his work is top notch, and he and his crew are very courteous and professional. Next time I need another paving project, I will definitely be in touch. And if ever I do know anyone who needs a paving project done too, I would definitely recommend Bill's Construction Inc!"

"Valter and his crew were prompt, courteous, respectful, and hard-working. Communication was great, and Valter consulted me at every step. His crew flawlessly re-pointed our foundation in several spots, built a new border around our front garden, and laid in a paved walkway. The results were stunning. Valter was direct, honest, and fair in his estimate and pricing. We will definitely work with him again!"

"The normal lifecycle of working with anyone who does work on your house is: they do work, you inspect work, you see there's an issue, you bring the issue to the person doing the work, they try to convince you it's not a problem (even though it obviously is), you argue back and forth painstakingly until they finally fix what you asked them to, The lifecycle of working with South Shore Excavation is: they do amazing work, you feel fantastic about it. I have never worked with anyone who took such pride in their work as Matt and John. They were extremely hardworking, transparent on their progress and pricing throughout the project, and provided incredible customer service. I would recommend South Shore Excavation to anyone looking for any of the work they handle. I legitimately can't say enough great things about this company."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

Maintaining a driveway depends on its material. For concrete and asphalt, it's best to clean the surface thoroughly twice a year with a stiff broom and a pressure washer to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Sealing the driveway is crucial to protect it from water damage and freeze-thaw cycles. Before applying a sealant, pressure wash the surface to remove any loose sealant, dirt, or stains, as sealing over them will trap them. Any cracks or expansion joints should be filled with a flexible polyurethane caulk or asphalt sealer. In colder climates, use sand instead of salt for de-icing. Sand helps melt snow and ice without accelerating the freeze-thaw process, which can cause cracks.

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.
