EJ Paving

From start to finish EJ paving has been Very responsive, with the original site walk and quote, to other questions. Either via email or a phone call, or text I never felt ignored. I had a few odd concrete sections near my driveway, that Joe was confident that they could take care of, cleanly. Day one, PREP,  a couple people arrive with a bobcat and were able to dismantle and remove all the old asphalt , then grade back the area and put down a base layer..I was very impressed how skilled the removal went, the bobcat driver was like  a surgeon, never getting close to damaging anything and regraded and leveled/smoothed the base material , and pitched everything away from the house. Took about 7 hours, I have a large odd shaped driveway. Day Two, The day of the paving was a spectacular feat to watch. A crew of 10-12 people arrived, Each person knew exactly what they needed to do, from the paving machine moving around and the dump trucks moving in and out to keep the paving machine fed, and all the other guys working efficiently, either  compacting the already paved layer or raking , scraping or shoveling the material to make sure every spot had the appropriate amount to make the levels correct. It took less than 2.5hours. After both layers were complete I got a kind wave from all the guys , 2 were left behind to complete the rolling/smoothing it out, and compacting specific spots till it was perfect. I'm Very happy with my decision to choose  EJ Paving, I could tell that they were skilled in their jobs and took pride in their work. They far exceeded my expectations and I have already recommended them to a couple of my friends/family.

I recently was referred to E.J. Paving for a badly needed driveway at my home. I contacted them and 2 other firms. E.J Paving picked up the phone on the first call and went over all that was to be done in detail and stated they would be over to provide a firm estimate. (The other 2 did call back over the next few days.) E.J. came over the next day and left the estimate in the door. They followed up that evening & answered all questions. I eventually received the other quotes and decided E.J. was the best BASED upon their response time, the value and detail they offered and the trust that the owner Tom and his forman Steve imparted to us. Bottom line we agreed, and they were more than competive with the price. They said they would be able to do within a time frame that was more than acceptable. They called and was actually able to do it sooner as they were in the area. They did it all the same day. WOW, is all I can say - They exceeded my highest expectations as paving a driveway is not an exciting event in my life..But the quality of the crews, the equipment and the on site supervisors were exceptional - They had as many people here as if they were paving Rt 93 and it definately came out perfect. They even moved a sprinkler head so we could widen the drive a bit. Absolutely accomadating on everything. Don't even think of using anyone else - Tom, Steven and the crew are without doubt all you will ever need ..THANKS E.J. PAVING...

Follow up to my original review. Here it is several months later and I STILL have not received the paper estimate for a driveway. I no longer want one, but that is beside the point at this time I've been told at least 20 times that the estimate is on it's way. The verbal estimate was $35,000 for a driveway that's 800 square feet. A person named Andrea replied back about this over-inflated amount and accused ME of providing the wrong area and TOLD me that the area I needed paved was 2600 square feet. First, *I* didn't tell them anything. They came out and measured the area themselves. Secondly, I'm 100% positive that my house is no longer than 40 feet long and we don't need a whole parking lot for our TWO vehicles. It's unbelievable that they're still going to insist on estimating $35,000 for a driveway that goes to Canada. Apparently they STILL don't believe that they could have possibly made a measurement mistake. I urge everyone to read the review below. I would be amazed if this type of thing hasn't happened with anyone else. Such poor business practice. They came out a week after the promised date to look at my land. They couldn't even keep their original appointment. Then they didn't get the estimate to us when they said they would. It took 4 weeks and at least 35 calls back and forth to even get a spoken quote over the phone. Then it was 4 times the cost of the highest of 6 other paving companies. Apparently they thought that we were only looking at them because they came highly recommended by a friend, so they thought they could string us along as much as they want and overcharge us as much as they want. When I showed my friend my phone records with them, and how many times they didn't call back or keep their promises, they also vowed not only to never use them again, but to never recommend them ever again either. They don't return calls, they don't keep their appointments or their promises and they are way overpriced. Not just disappointed. Disgusted. No idea how well they do at paving, but their customer service leaves much to be desired. it should not have been that difficult to give a quote on a simple driveway.

Nothing but a great experience working with EJ Paving ,from the overnight response for a quote request Steve was there with in 2 days (because of my schedule) , quote was in the range I expected and below other quotes I had received from companies that I literally had to keep calling to get anyone to come out . Steve walked the the entire job and listen to what I was looking for and made suggestion on how it could be done better. Steve kept me updated on schedule of crews and the arrived promptly on time ! The prep crew who graded the driveway was a subcontractor FR paving and Landscaping, the owner (former EJ employee) was also outstanding , prep was done and he explained how the grade was being set to assure proper drainage, driveway looked perfect when he finished and was marked with direction of run off for paving crew. The very next day Steve called and advised that he could have a crew to my house in three hours if it worked for me , I said yes and three hours later they where there ! They where the most efficient crew I have ever seen work ( I seen my fair share of paving jobs) , job came out absolutely above my expectations! Thank you to EJ Paving entire crew to include FR paving subcontractor for a great job!!!!

I couldn't be happier with my new driveway and with the experience of working with E.J. Paving. I was impressed every step of the way from my initial contact with Steve Kupiac to the amazing crew that prepped and paved my driveway. As a single mom of two young adults with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, I was concerned about cost, convenience and also about being able to get my two sons in their power wheelchairs in and out of the house while the driveway was being paved and setting. Steve and his entire crew went out of their way to help me. One of the guys used his chop saw to modify a metal ramp I had so that it would fit in my sliding glass doors. I had 18 manual wheelchairs stored on my pavement in the back of my garage to be donated to Joni and Friends Wheels for the World and Steve moved them all for me. Every time I called him with a question or a concern, Steve called me right back. We built our home 15 years ago so I have dealt with a lot of contractors but never have I dealt with a company so professional and compassionate. I highly recommend E.J. Paving!!!
