Asphalt Paving

I contacted multiple paving companies and received estimates in July. Silvano from Nortown Paving contacted me in early October to follow up on the estimate I received.

After finalizing a price, Nortown Paving completed work on my driveway the following week. The job was completed while I was at work and I returned home to a beautifully paved driveway. They ensured that rain water would flow away from the house and all my expectations were met. In addition they did not leave any debris behind.

Silvano did a diligent job answering any questions I had and I do not hesitate recommending Nortown Paving.

Paved parking lot of small office building

The parking lot of my small commercial building needed paving, and I’m glad I chose Nortown. When I first called, Silvano responded quickly, and he was great to deal with. His price was the most reasonable (out of five) and he emphasized that would be the final price. No extras! Then on paving day Silvano, the crew, and machinery arrived right on time. They were professional, efficient, friendly, and paid attention to details. For example, their asphalt butted up perfectly to the sidewalk, with a nice straight edge (unlike the ragged edges in some other contractor’s photos). The whole job was on time, on budget, and painless. And for me, painless is priceless, so I highly recommend Nortown.

re-asphalt drive with curbs - shared drive

Quickest to respond to request for a quote in the spring. Best price of the 4 contractors. Worked with neighbour to ensure everyone was on the same page. Arrived to start first phase within a week of promised date. Finished second phase when promised. Good quality work. Obvious experience. before asphalt was place, ensured they would meet key criteria of having water drain away from both houses by engaging Nortown Paving owner who was on site. Grading was adjusted accordingly.

Driveway interlock

This review is long overdue. We had Nortown come put in an interlock extension to our driveway the fall of 2013. Over the course of the winter the interlock showed significant buckling. In the spring of 2014 we called them back and without much hassle they relaid the interlock. I think it took them longer to do it the 2nd time around than the first. These guys truly honour their warranty and while they are not the cheapest, they do stick around to make sure you are happy with their product. While I'm not happy that we did have to call them back, I'm very happy with how they honoured their warranty. It's been almost a year since they've redid it and we have not seen the buckling reappear. I would recommend this company - they stand behind their work.

Paved driveway, interlock walkway and patio

Called Nortown for a quote, and Marc Volante cam out the very next day (Saturday). After listening to my ideas, Marc proposed 2 others that include changes to my landscape and lawn. Both were way better than I had in mind. After agreeing to his proposed interlock style, Nortown's entire crew came back 2 weeks later and completed the entire job in one day. I couldn't believe it myself. It seemed that the entire street came out to look and crew and all the equipment at work. Bottom line, I'm extremely impressed with the dedication Nowtown has to completing their jobs and level of customer satisfaction they aim to achieve. I highly recommend Nortown.

concrete walkway

We hired Nortown paving and construction approximately two years ago to replace a walkway we had around our house for over ten years. We were lifting it up to do some work in the basement and flood protection. The original was in fairly good repair. They came reasonably quickly, were in the upper middle of the pack in pricing and completed the work in an acceptable amount of time.
When they arrived to remove the old walkway they commented on the solid and strong workmanship of the previous walkway calling it old school. We had a few small issues after it was completed and with a few calls the person who did our quote came out to do the repairs and assure us that it was solid. Last summer we noticed a number of cracks and were surprised as the work had just be done but unfort. I didn't call thinking we can live with it, now chunks are coming out of the side walk were they slanted it ( I had originally asked about the corner and rear area when it was done and was told it would be fine(It looked uneven)). It looks more of a mess than the over ten year old concrete we had and now we are going to have to pay someone to fix it. The sales guy said small hairline cracks are expected after a number of years, but otherwise concrete is a good solid way to go. The man who came to look at the cracks and chunks missing gave me a quote sheet with the guarantee on the back to prove they would only guarantee their work for a year, and was extremely impatient with me, only blaming the frost and this type of damage can be expected and its normal. I was annoyed and asked about all the bad weather over the past ten years that left our old walkway in better shape? He said concrete will crack and chunks will come out, its the weather and they will not be doing anything about it.

He was still impatiently talking and muttering as he walked to his car. I mentioned this online review and he didn't seem too concerned. We are a small project - I expect as they normally work on larger projects and schools, but for us this was an a project that we budgeted and we hoped would enhance our home; not look like garbage after a few years. I would not recommend this company there are others with higher standards of customer service, stand by their work, or at very least make have a conversation/ make recommendations on how it might be repaired.

Company Response

It is most unfortunate that you can accommodate this costumer

After two years nortown received a complain on the concrete sidewalk

Industry standard Warranty work is for 0ne year.

As customer service call and warranty expired Nortown paving went to do an inspection

On inspection of concrete sidewalk we notice two cracks at the corner of the house. Our warranty does not cover this, the owner is well aware of this since is part of contract see information below.


WARRANTY

Nortown paving offers a ONE YEAR GUARANTEE on all materials and workmanship.

Nortown Paving & Construction Inc. does not guarantee cracks on concrete
surface & scaling of concrete due to excess usage of salt.

INFORMATION ON CONCRETE WORK
Yes- concrete does crack. We do not like it either but in most cases, it is bound to happen. This is why we install crack control joints where the concrete is most likely to crack. If the concrete cracks in these control joints, this is exactly what we had hoped for.
We do everything we can to control cracking, but there is NO GUARANTEE that concrete will not crack in other places. Cracks that are 3/16” of one inch or less (in height or gap) are considered normal and are within industry standards.

Colour shown on chart can vary slightly. Conditions that will cause variation are inconsistent slumb ( water ratio Content ), Finishing and curing methods, weather conditions, concrete raw materials & colour.

Above guidelines are based on recommendations listed in
"A Guide to Residential Driveway Paving", published by the
Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.

Driveway paving and cement curb, new front steps & walkway

Called for a quote and Sam (owner) came the next morning, followed by a quote on the spot and in writing within a couple of days. Timing before the work could start was accurate, as well as how long the work would take. Team arrived promptly each day and in all cases were EXCELLENT at their craft. Sam, Mark, Rocco and their teams, as well as Joe & Colin and their team did an outstanding job of the driveway, curb, walkway and steps and made sure we were completely satisfied. Dealt sensitively with neighbouring properties and went over and above to ensure they left things tidy each day. Highly recommend - we are very pleased!

Repair work in backyard

Marc and Rick arrived at 7am sharp. We had broken patio stairs that needed to be replaced. We also needed some work done with our patio. Needed to lift up patio stones and add some new ones. Within a couple hours these guys had the backyard looking good as new. They even helped me cut off/trim some large trees that were rotting out. If you are looking for a reliable and professional team look no further than Nortown Paving! Ask for Mark- he will get it done right. Thank you Nortown

Driveway repaving, interlock path and patio

Nortown was efficient and did an amazing job. Our house looks so much better and the little touches they added like angled cuts near the front bed really made the job look like something special. The patio in the back is beautiful, easy to care for and makes our yard a functional space for entertaining. The job was done in 2 days and many of our neighbours came over to comment on it. We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs driveway paving or landscaping work done.
