EJ Paving

EJ Paving is a family-owned asphalt paving contractor based in Methuen, Massachusetts, doing residential driveways as well as commercial, municipal, and state paving, milling, grading, reclamation, and snow removal across New England. The company states 39 years in business, with Tom Evangelista as President, Lee Evangelista as Managing Director, and their son Tommy Evangelista as Vice President. It is BBB accredited with an A+ grade, and its crews are stated to be OSHA certified. Many reviewers describe strong driveway work, citing named project managers such as Graham, Jason, and Joe Greene for clear communication, on-time crews, and attention to drainage and pitch. Several 2025 and 2026 reviews describe smooth, well-managed jobs, including one where the company proactively refunded an overpayment. Recent activity over the last six months (7 reviews) shows no reported complaints. The written record also includes a recurring set of complaints spanning 2022 through 2025: driveway edges cracking or crumbling within a year of installation in more than one case, a project cancelled and the homeowner left unreached after being told the job was too small, a job that reviewers say took close to a year to complete with an unannounced change in asphalt type, and disruptive early-morning work and equipment left near neighboring properties, including one account of oil stains on a neighbor's property that went unaddressed after repeated contact. In at least one case, the company returned to address a driveway that had cracked from erosion after the customer followed up. For a homeowner considering EJ Paving, the volume of specific, positive driveway work is real and recent, but it's worth asking directly about the warranty on cracking or settling, expected timeline commitments, and how a small residential job is prioritized against larger commercial contracts.
