Asphalt Paving By GW LLC holds a 4.7-star Google average across 142 ratings. The company says it has been in business 33 years and lists Old Saybrook as its service area. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0649118, is active on the state registry under the name ASPHALT PAVING BY GW LLC. A 2026 customer said George, Bubba, Ramsey and crew excavated a hillside, built a retaining wall, dug out and repaved the old driveway and moved a boat port, all in 2 days. A 2026 reviewer quoted George's attitude as “IT HAS TO BE DONE AS WELL AS I CAN DO IT”. A 2025 customer said Ramsey called within 10 minutes of a website estimate request, before the 8am opening, and that the new driveway was finished before noon; that 2025 customer also wrote that the company covers warranty repairs for up to a year. A 2025 repeat customer said the company first paved their driveway in 2018 and later redid the apron after a cable company damaged it. A 2023 customer with a 500-foot driveway said Ramsey explained why it should be torn out, leveled, given a new gravel base and repaved, that the quote came in lower than competitors' and that the job took a day and a half. A 2023 customer said the company quoted a complete basketball court within hours of the inquiry. A 2026 customer whose driveway was paved in September 2025 said that by January the upper parking area had heaved, sinkholes and cracks had formed, water entered the garage, and asphalt dug out near one crack was not even 3/4 inch thick where it was supposed to be 2½ inches. That customer said Ramsey inspected in March and suggested patching a couple of cracks, and that no reasonable solution had been reached. A 2025 reviewer wrote that the driveway started cracking after a few weeks. A 2024 customer said the estimate for a small driveway was double what a local company was charging. A 2023 customer said a 10:00 seal-coat appointment saw a worker arrive at 12:33, after the customer had cancelled. A 2022 customer said a request for a driveway estimate never got a call back.
What a fantastic job! Reliable, quick and always wanted to make sure that I was happy. Please consider them for all your paving needs.
Really professional installation, the attention to detail was exceptional by all the workers, all were very respectful to us, George had that Old School attitude of “IT HAS TO BE DONE AS WELL AS I CAN DO IT”
⭐☆☆☆☆ I hired Asphalt Paving by G.W. to pave my driveway in September 2025. Choosing a paving contractor is not a decision I took lightly. I obtained multiple estimates and ultimately chose this company because I believed they would provide the best quality work. At first, the driveway appeared acceptable aside from a few minor imperfections that I chose to overlook because nothing is perfect. However, by January, serious problems began to appear. The upper parking area developed significant heaving, and numerous depressions and sinkholes formed where vehicles were parked. After every rainstorm, these areas fill with large puddles, making the defects impossible to ignore. I also began noticing extensive cracking throughout the driveway. The lime from the crushed concrete base started leaching through the cracks and staining the asphalt white. During a heavy rainstorm, water entered my garage because the driveway was pitched toward my house. The area near the road is in especially poor condition, with cracked edges and large sections that are sinking and deteriorating. One cracked area became so concerning that I dug around it myself and found asphalt that was not even 3/4 inch thick. The driveway was supposed to be installed at 2½ inches and rolled to approximately 2 inches. I contacted Ramsey in February, and he came out in March to inspect the driveway. To my surprise, he did not believe there was much wrong with it and suggested sending a crew to patch a couple of cracks. The issues are far more extensive than a few cracks. I tried to work with the company to find a reasonable solution, but that has not happened. A driveway should not be failing after only a few months. I thought I had chosen the right company, but based on my experience, I was wrong. I cannot recommend Asphalt Paving by G.W.
What a fantastic job start to finish! Owner was on site the whole time. Crew was great even with me bothering them.I would definitely recommend Asphalt Paving by GW! Very pleased.
Was so impressed with the work that George, Bubba, Ramsey and crew did for us. They provided excavating of a hillside, built a retaining wall, dug out our old driveway and removed all the asphalt, rolled, paved and moved a boat port from our lower driveway to the upper driveway, all in 2 days. They were courteous, efficient, obviously very experienced, the whole crew worked together very well and we could not be happier! We felt the price was reasonable and they were meticulous in finishing the edges, rolling and cleaning up the site. My husband Wally and I highly recommend you give them a call!!
