Nortown Paving & Construction Inc

We originally approached Marc about doing our driveway, we had someone else lined up to do interlock. In the end we ended up with Nortown paving the two (joint) driveways as Marc did a great job of dealing with our neighbor and also doing the front interlock.
Marc was always happy to discuss the design and plans, in person or via sms/phone.

The small army of workers with their equipment showed up within the time frame we were told to expect, they did everything in one day, cleaned everything up, and so far everything looks great. Will update after the winter has passed :)

We needed to re-pave our aged asphalt driveway. Marc responded quickly, paid a site-visit, and provided an estimate. He also gave a lot of helpful advice and tips on how to approach this project. Marc was always friendly, polite and professional. Nortown also gave a fair price for the work done and did not ask for a down payment. Marc kept us posted on the schedule for our work, and the teams came on time. Their work was professionally done. Marc even came back to do a touch up on a very small part of the driveway to complete the work. I couldn't be more pleased with the work that Nortown has done. I won't hesitate to recommend Nortown to any one who wishes to have their asphalt driveway re-paved.

We needed to replace the front steps to our house and the driveway. We also wanted to extend the front paved area next to the driveway. Marc came from Nortown very quickly to provide an estimate, and also gave a lot of very helpful advice even though that advice steered us away from some higher-cost items that would have benefited Nortown more. He came back several times as we changed our conception of our project, always friendly, polite and helpful. Nortown also gave by far the best estimate, and did not want a downpayment. When the time came to do the work, we realized we had a very heavy item in the way of the project -- no problem: the Nortown team used their equipment to move it and, when all the work was complete, they moved it back again for us. Marc kept us posted on the schedule for our work, and the teams came precisely on time. Their work is absolutely beautiful, both the concrete steps, the extended pathway and pad, and the new asphalt driveway. The driveway paving now merges beautifully with the concrete which it abuts, the steps and curved extension are lovely, and the curb appeal of our house has gone way up. And the job came in significantly under budget as well. I have already recommended Marc and Nortown to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. We could not be more pleased!

We would like to applaud the workmanship and professionalism demonstrated by the staff of Nortown Paving and Construction Inc. From the initial visit when we obtained a very competitive quote to the completion of the job, every aspect was addressed as promised. Each hard-working crew member, knew their job and carried it out with no time wasted, taking pride in a well finished product. The owner, Sam Volante, visited our home and made several suggestions to fine tune the work and in the end, exceeded our expectations! He is extremely knowledgeable about his business and ensures his clients our completely satisfied with the job...even going above and beyond with some of our requests. The job of excavating an old asphalt driveway, regrading, laying down new asphalt with soldier course around the perimeter, lifting an existing interlocking walkway and relaying a newer, much improved one, was undertaken with our 100% satisfaction. A job well done!!!!! Thanks for the landscaping tips...great ideas!!!! Many of our neighbours have stopped by to comment on how great the work looks!!! We would highly recommend Nortown Paving and Construction Inc. to anyone looking to have this type of work completed. We are so impressed, that we are hoping to have additional work completed in the fall.

We had our driveway paved and also had stamped curbs installed July 2013. I would highly recommend Nortown Paving & Construction. From the initial meeting with Marc to the completion and follow-up of the job, Nortown displayed quality workmanship and excellent customer service. Marc was most personable and suggested many helpful options and colours without trying to up-sell us, definitely placing the customer first.

My wife and I are 100% satisfied with Nortown paving. In comparison to other paving companies in the GTA, Nortown sets the standard. The customer service is second to none; the staff are professional and knowledgeable. Would I recommend Nortown to my closest friends? The answer is simple: YES.
They deliver on time and with excellence. They care about their customers - customer service is their number 1 priority. My driveway looks great.

NEVER AGAIN- I hired Nortown Paving to pave my driveway in 2011. Only 2 months later my driveway was completely cracked in many different areas. Cracks ranging as thick as 1/2 inch wide and 8 feet long. Sam Volante (owner) would only repair it with driveway caulking filler. i paid for a new driveway (not a repair job) . why would a professional company only repair the cracks with caulking (which looks horrible) and not replace it as should be. Mr. Volante would not return any of my calls and when speaking with him was extremely rude and arriogant saying he would not replace it. Only until issues involving numerous letters to Nortown, my lawyer and BBB, Nortown came back to pave it again a year later in 2012 (at the end of my warranty). 3 months later, my driveway once again, is completely cracked again in all different areas- exactly same as before. Nortown will not return my calls as my 1 year warranty is expired. I have never experienced a more unprofessional company who has no regard for customer service and customer satisfaction. i would never recommend Nortown Paving to anyone.

I would recommend Nortown Paving and Construction to any prospective customer after our positive experience.
The Job: Our job consisted of breaking up an existing concrete pad at our front door that sunk and cracked, and completely removing the existing paving, excavating, adding new crushed aggregate, grading and then repaving. Note that due to the position of the concrete pad, it had to be broken by hand because a machine would not fit the space. Removing the existing concrete was in itself a very difficult job.
The Estimate: I had two quotes (one of which I found on this site) prior to Nortown. The first was very, very low (so low it made me uneasy). The second was much, much higher, and they did not care to respond to a follow-up question. Conversely, Marc from Nortown provided an good assessment as to cost and the reasons for the costing and Nortown was willing to work with whatever brick material the customer chooses. Marc also is willing to work within your budget constraints.
The Integrity: Unlike other contractors who both demanded a deposit, Nortown insists they are not paid until the job is complete.
The Quality: Given the poor condition of the old driveway (that was cracked and had many layers of patches that still allowed water to permeate, but it did not 'breathe'), Marc cautioned me, at the time of the estimate, that the condition of the soil underneath (even after excavated and refilled) might be too soft to immediately repave. The driveway foundation did prove to be too soft to proceed; however, instead of simply paving over as others might have to save the cost of another deployment, Nortown proceeded to explain the situation and promised to return when the new gravel aggregate settled and allowed them to finish. The crew finished the interlocking stone at the front entrance, but had to leave a gravel driveway to settle and dry out. I was very impressed with this display of professionalism to complete the job correctly. Recall that there is no payment until complete so I was satisfied to wait.
The Finish: After a few weeks, Marc and his crew came back with their equipment, added more gravel and compacted and graded the material, then installed the new driveway paving.
Overall: I can state that although others make a good pitch at the estimate time, Nortown is the Company that actually delivers an excellent job. Good indicators of their professional quality can be found from their registration with the BBB, a no pay until complete clause, a full work crew all the time with all of the heavy equipment, a full clean-up after. I would recommend Nortown and consider them for any similar work in the future.

For couple years now we have been looking to get our driveway done, and so after much research we came across Nortown Paving and Construction. We decided to meet with them to see what they were about. We had a pleasant meeting with Marc and was very satisfied with our search. During our meeting we appreciated Marc's openness as he gave us great input and ideas of how to do the asphalt and interlocking. We also appreciated his honesty as he gave us a run through of different competitive pricing. However, Marc gave us a great deal!!! Marc and his crew were fantastic!! They were very punctual and confident with their work. Not only did Marc and his crew provide us with the best work on our driveway but they offered great customer service, was very polite and got the job done surprisingly FAST! They attended to every single detail we would ask them for (with a smile, I must add) and in just 2 days, everything was finished! Their professionalism and thoroughness was evident with watching how fast they got everything done, even taking into account the tiniest detail. The end result was beyond what we expected. We are really happy with how our home looks. The whole front entrance looks like a complete makeover and we absolutely love it! At the end, Marc even gave some tips in how to maintain the asphalt and interlocking for a longer period of time, and gave us great ideas for landscaping. All in all, a highly recommended team who without a doubt will guarantee an end result you are sure to love!!! Thanks so much Marc and crew!!!

I wasn't having much luck getting quotes on replacing our double car driveway. It has been a rainy spring, so with the onset of decent weather I wasn't getting any return phone calls. I checked Homestars and found Nortown Paving. I called and was pleasantly surprised to be talking to the owner who was manning the phones that day. Shortly thereafter he sent his son Mark to our home to give us a quote. Although I met with other companies, we just knew Nortown was the right choice. They were professional, and reasonably priced. We had a full crew show up on construction day. They.did an excellent job. Most of the workers were related to the owners and they treated us as family too. Looking at the driveway, the best thing is the large soldiers course they recommended. Since having it done I have had neighbours I have not even met before stop to tell me how good it looks.
