Not happy! In September, 2023, we got a new driveway from Theriault Paving. It has been a trying experience, to say the least.
The driveway looked good until the first rain, when we noticed a hump in front of one the garage doors. It was channeling water into the garage. We called. Three weeks later they came to fix it. Their solution was to cut out a 10'x10' area in front of the door and apply a rough looking patch (see photo). We spoke with owner, Dave Theriault, and three weeks later he arrived to inspect the job. Dave said "That looks like sh*t!". I also showed him where the asphalt was lifting and where car tires (light weight cars, too, like a Kia, and my Husky lawn tractor) were leaving marks in the surface and where the asphalt was crumbling.
In 2024 they came back, cut out the house half of the bad driveway and repaved the whole thing. Unfortunately, they did NOT remove the entire surface, as Dave had promised. Instead, they paved OVER it. Now my driveway is 4'-6" ABOVE the landscaping (something we told him we DIDN'T want when we contracted for the job to be done). And the driveway does not meet the town's requirements so it has failed inspection (somebody at Theriault Paving failed to get or convey the requirements for a driveway, I guess).
In October of 2024 we met with Dave and the town road inspector. Dave then promised they would have this resolved in May, 2025. It's mid June and nothing is done yet. It's been almost 2 years since this started and we have an unsatisfactory driveway that sits WAY above our lawn (like a runway!), making it tough to mow, the edges are cracking because there's no edge support and the surface is starting crumble and give way to tires, again!
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this company. They have decades of experience but it doesn't show in their work or follow up with their customers, so far. Dave has been apologetic but follow through and workmanship is greatly lacking. read more
