Nortown Paving & Construction Inc

Our driveway is 16 years old and it is a good size (I can park 8 cars) and is showing wear and I wanted to have the driveway replaced.

Based on Homestars reviews I called a few companies for quotes and Marc came over the next day to provide a quote. Marc is super friendly and easy to work with. I was thinking of either just replacing the asphalt driveway or doing additional paving stone work around the driveway. Marc gave me some very good recommendations and provided me with a quote for replacing the asphalt driveway alone or the asphalt driveway along with a paving stone soldier course along each side. Marc also encouraged us to get other quotes so that we would feel comfortable with whoever we chose. We decided to go with Marc and Nortown and have them do the driveway and soldier course. We didn't have to pay any down payment. Marc only wanted payment once the job was completed.

Marc and Nortown was terrific to work with. Marc is very responsive. If I reach out to him, I always get a response back within the same day, and often within the same hour. I was having other work done, and Marc accomodated my schedule. When the other work was done, he showed up 2 days later with a full crew. They were able to rip out the old asphalt, lay new stone down, put in place the soldier course and put in the new asphalt all in that morning (since my old driveway foundation was solid and I didn't have any problems with the foundation, he was able to do it all in one day, however, he had warned that if they found issues, then they would fix the foundational issues first and then come back later to lay the asphalt, however, it was not in the case for us). Marc also went to get the exact same paving stones (same brand, model and colour), except the larger size, that were used for our walkway so that it would be a perfect match.

They did a terrific job and the new driveway looks great. To me, the mark of a good company is the after sale service - will they be responsive after the job has been done and paid for. In my past experience with some other contractors, once I paid, they were hard to get a hold of after. Not Marc and Nortown. There was some touch up work that needed to get done after the driveway was set. I reached out to Marc and he showed up the next day and took care of it with a smile.

I have no hesitation in recommending Marc and Nortown. I learned from Marc that Nortown is a family business and they really take pride in the work they do, which was very evident. I've recommended him a few people already. Thank you Homestars for your reviews to be able to find Nortown.
