Barry and his crew did an awesome job. All phases of the job were done in a timely fashion. Area was pulverized and regraded with a new binder coat put down. They repaired our catch basins and installed new asphalt finish course along with an asphalt berm to our perimeter. Excellent company to deal with!

They showed up as promised and did the job in one day. At first it seemed like a good job. They advised staying off the driveway for a week. We stayed off it for almost a month, just be sure. However, the top layer has deteriorated in several spots up to 1/4" deep. I blow off lots of gravel weekly but it continues to deteriorate. It is not in an area where we turn around and is not due to the light scuffling that can occur on hot days when you turn your wheels without moving. This is not normal. I called Barry Millbury, the owner, and he said he would stop by and look at it. After several weeks I called him 3 times and left messages without a return call. On the 4th call he answered and said he would come by at 10 am. I waited but he never showed. I called again and he said he would be by at 2 pm. He did not show. I called again and he said he would come the next day. He never showed up. This company does not stand by their work and are unprofessional. Once they have your money you have no leverage.

All aspects of the work were executed by a professional and efficient crew who were attentive to detail, considerate of neighbors, and minimally disruptive to street traffic. The driveway, when done, was precisely what we had requested at the price quoted. Because the cobblestone apron is installed after the hot top is laid, minor cosmetic touch-up of the edging is to follow. All and all we were thoroughly delighted by and impressed with the work done by Mr. Milbury and his crew.
Description of Work: Excavated, graded, prepared site and installed hot top driveway with decorative cobblestone apron.

This was a difficult project because the business is in operation and we needed to minimize closures and interruptions. Excel kept to their schedule (excepting for weather) and did a thorough job of planning and completing the project. it was obvious that they cared about what they were doing, checked their work multiple times to make sure the drainage and dimensions were correct. They have followed up a couple times to check on things.
Description of Work: This company removed and replaced the front parking area at Putnam Pantry in Danvers, MA. In addition underground utility chases were installed and the front walk and stairs were replaced with an integrated paver ramp

He never came back to seal the apron of the driveway as promised. I called him many times the next year to have him seal the driveway and apron. He kept promising he would be there and never came. He's a nice guy but I wouldn't use him again.

We have used them twice. They did a back deck patio and also our driveway. They had really good prices and better estimates than other providers. They did a very good job and they were super fast with asphalt. The full crew came and finished within a few hours. The patio they did was was paving stone.

This project went very well. The Excel team were here on the stated time and got to work immediately. In fact the owner Barry Milbury was on site before his crew to spec out the job and order the pavement. Barry started the prep work before his crew arrived. He seems to be very organized and efficient in his work process. They found they were short some product at the end of the driveway and ordered more to finish up. This kept them here about an hour longer, but Barry is the type of person that would not have stretched what he had and not completed it correctly. He made sure it was completed correctly and was the last person to leave the site. I have and will recommend the Barry and Excel Pavement to anyone. The total time spent, including waiting for more pavement, was about 3.5 hours. I was very pleased with the results. I contacted three other pavement companies before selecting Excel. Two called back and showed up. They were professional, polite and knowledgeable, but were significantly higher priced than Excel. One did not call back.
Description of Work: Overlaid 1.5 inches of payment over existing pavement. Also increased the driveway and removed payment which would have caused a height issue around a sewer cover. The driveway had holes and dips that were repaired.

After I saw my neighbor's new driveway that Execl had done and heard how great they were to work with, I called and worked with Barry too. Great experience! He was responsive, knowledgable, easy to work with, and just a great guy. He always followed up exactly as he said he would and communicated with me in detail so he knew exactly what we needed. He made some tweaks to our existing driveway layout so I'd quit driving over the grass and so we'd have a bigger berm at the street to keep other drivers off too. The new driveway is perfect! The lines are perfect, water drains well, and it looks fantastic! And I can't understand how they can do such intense work without messing up anything...there was zero damage to the yard or surroundings. Barry is my hero!

The experience dealing with this company was a waste of time and frustrating. To miss a scheduled visit along with not returning calls in a timely fashion is very unprofessional. I would not use this company for any future projects nor would I recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: On 7/5/11 I called Excel Paving to request an estimate for an asphalt paving project. Later that day Dave called and scheduled a visit for 7:00 a.m. on 7/7/11. At 7:30 on 7/7 having not seen nor heard from Dave I called the company to check on the status of the visit. I had to leave a message on the answering machine. On 7/8/11 I called and left another message to determine why the visit was not honored. On 7/14/11 I received a call from another representative of the company to schedule another visit. He was unaware of the 7/7 visit that was not honored. He apologized. I informed the representative that I was no longer interested in getting an estimate from his company.
