Bob Muldoon Paving is a second-generation, family-owned asphalt and concrete contractor on Concord Street in Lowell that homeowners across the Merrimack Valley hire mostly for driveway replacement. The company describes itself as serving residential, industrial and commercial clients from Lowell, Chelmsford and Dracut out to Andover, Haverhill and Groton, covering driveways, parking lots, overlays, patching, sealcoating, striping, milling and reclamation, plus drainage, catch basins and concrete work. Its own site dates the business to 1947 in one place and to 1968 in another, and claims 79 years in business. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+.
The people who hired them tell a consistent story, and most of it centers on Phil, who runs the estimates and the crews. Reviewers from spring and summer 2026 describe a broken driveway rebuilt in 100-degree heat, a complex repave with grading, banking and an uphill curve handled with on-the-spot requests, a 40-year-old oversized driveway replaced, and stonework that brought a homeowner's vision to life. Work matching the quote, finishing ahead of schedule and at a fair price come up repeatedly, and several 2025 reviewers say the old pavement was ripped out and the new surface laid in a single day. Older accounts fill in the same picture: a 2024 reviewer praised the gradient, thickness and drainage through later rainstorms, a 2016 Angi reviewer noted Bob Muldoon pulled the city permit himself, and a 2008 reviewer described the crew grading a new driveway so rainwater ran to the dry wells. Google shows 4.9 stars from 77 ratings and Angi 5.0 from 16, with 11 reviews in the last six months and none negative.
Two things are worth asking about before booking. A July 2025 Google reviewer describing a summer 2024 driveway widening said the first install failed inspection because it was pitched the wrong way, and after the crew tore it out the second install looked shabby with asphalt pieces coming loose. An April 2025 reviewer set a next-day appointment window and got no show and no call, then could not reach anyone by phone. Both are isolated against dozens of positive accounts, but they are the kind of thing to confirm: who checks the pitch before the crew leaves, and how appointments are confirmed.
For a residential driveway replacement, a regrade or a commercial lot in the Lowell area, Muldoon is a well-established call with a deep run of recent praise. Get the quote in writing, ask about the drainage plan for your grade, and confirm the appointment the day before.
