Franco's Paving and Masonry

Frank Gilk owner and operator of Franco's Paving does not honor contracts. My contract calls for a sealing in 2024. Frank was supposed to call me to schedule my driveway for seal. I left several voice messages and 0 return calls I gave up. Only after I text him saying I would be writing this review he returned the text. If you continue to read reviews on this company you will learn Frank has poor communication skills, and will not honor contracts once paid in full. BEWARE HE DOES NOT HONOR CONTRACTS. READ ALL REVIEWS ABOUT THIS COMPANY CAREFULLY.

Buyers Beware DO NOT USE Frank like stated in other comments is a smooth talker and will not come back after taking his money, he will not make sure you the customer is happy with the job, and he will not warranty the job like he says he does. Frank will constantly call you and make deals to get the job and get money out of you but will not answer his phone after.

We are very happy with the paving of our driveway by Franco's Paving. The crew arrived when they said they would, they worked hard, and with attention to detail. We were skeptical at first because some sites have negative reviews, but there are also many positive ones. The owner, Frank Gilk worked with us to plan what we wanted to our satisfaction. We are glad we put aside our doubts and went ahead with the project because it was done well and we are pleased with our beautiful driveway. Customer Service is great.

Unfortunately, my wife and I hired Franco Paving to do major paving work on our property. On the first day we met, Frank Gilk, the owner, asked for $20,000 for the pavers, which we gave to him. And after that, he never returned to do the job, or deliver the pavers or return our money. My wife and I had to file a lawsuit against him, which cost us even more money. Everything I'm warning you about is well documented with the New Jersey State courts. Beware - Mr. Gilk is a very smooth talker!

Mr. Gilk applied repeatedly re-heated asphalt left over from another job. This covered about one fourth of our driveway. He then paused several hours while he procured fresh asphalt to complete our job. The initial application is visibly more coarse, lighter in color and mixed with dirt, while the balance of the driveway is a smooth, uniform dark black. Mr. Gilk assured me the dirty section would wash out to match the rest of the driveway, but it has not done so in over seven weeks. Asphalt was also negligently applied, since my garage now floods every time it rains. Mr. Gilk has repeatedly promised to make it right, but, after weeks of phone tag, I now intend to sue.

This began on June 23rd of last year. He removed the wood steps and we had iron supports which he threw over our stone wall on our property. He left concrete blocks by the side of the driveway. He absolutely trashed our front yard, tossing things like cigarette cartons, beer cans, and coke bottles. He even cracked our cement while replacing the wood railing. He ripped us off and never even sealed our driveway.
