Thank You!

Marty and the crew – THANK YOU SO MUCH for fixing our driveway – we were getting water in our garage ever since we bought the house – and we had Pavex come over and Marty said “oh we can mostly definitely fix this issue so that this will never happen to you again”. Well with this drenching rain we’ve had – we have not had a single drop of water in the garage! You are a man of your word! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Linda and Mike

How Poor the Quality Has Become

I had my original driveway installed by Pavex in 2002. It was excellent. Level, looked great. Lasted 10 solid years. In 2012, I had a large section that began to crack and heave with the winter weather. It was to be expected after so long. I naturally called Pavex for a repair. The deteriorated section had been removed and repaired and looked OK. 11 months later, I find the same cracks in the same places of the new pavement and it appears the underlying surface was not properly prepped and the new pavement cracked in the same fashion but after only 11 months!I will now have to attempt to seal it with unsightly crack sealer to get thru winter, and in the spring will have to get the repair done again, but by someone else. Im very disappointed and wont be using them again.

Water drainage problem - SOLVED!

Shortly after moving into our new house, we found that when it was raining hard or the snow was melting, all the water ran down our driveway, and right into our garage. To make matters worse, it would pool under the garage doors, and when it was cold enough, it would freeze solid, trapping the garage doors in the ice! We had a several damaged areas in the driveway anyway, so we called Pavex to repave our driveway. First the tore up the old driveway. Then, despite the fact that the driveway runs downhill into the garage, they regarded it so that the water would flow off to the side and into the yard. That was two years ago, and we have yet to have even a puddle in front of the garage, let along water inside or frozen doors! An awesome job by the experts at Pavex. Highly recommended.

Great Job!

Pavex paved our driveway last month. I have to say I never write reviews, but I was so impressed by the way this company is run that I feel I want to tell everyone! Marty (the owner) came out to give us the estimate. We have a water issue and he was very patient and polite, explaining what could be done to solve our problem. No other contractor seemed as concerned or informed as Marty. He gave us great ideas! We signed up. When it was time to get the job done, Pavex called the week before and scheduled our date. The job took one day. The crew worked like clockwork, what a pleasure to watch! So glad we found this company. They did what they promised and did it well.

Honest and fair.

A couple of years ago I was looking to have my driveway paved. I didn't know where to start but I can tell you that PAVEX was the only company that answered their phone. Johanna was very helpful and set up an appointment for Marty to give me an estimate. He arrived when he said he would and I felt that he was honest about the work he would do to pave my driveway. I am very satisfied with the quality and service that I received. I have a feeling that I will be enjoying my driveway for years to come.

No service!

We had "millings" put down over an existing gravel driveway (2000 ft.) to help clean things up. We started experiencing issues within the first month but we waited to call in order to let the work settle.Our first call was to the office and we were informed that it is a "soft" surface and there is nothing they can do. We informed them that we were simply looking to discuss the issues (holes) and receive some guidance on possible repairs. We were told that they would take our names and the owner "may" call us. That call never happened.A month later (waited for a response) we emailed with our concerns and again let them know that we were looking to correct the issues (more millings, rock, etc) and simply wanted to discuss the best course of action. Nothing!It is really a shame that a local business that is located less than three miles from us is not even willing to talk.

Great job!

We have a very long driveway that needed extensive leveling & had water drainage problems, we had Pavex do the driveway about 5+ years ago. The prep work & materials that they put into the job made all the difference to give the driveway the support & strong base it needed, We just had them sealcoat recently too. We are very pleased with the quality of work that this company has done for us. Thumbs up!
