G&L Paving and Masonry is a Norwalk paving and masonry company with a 4.8-star Google average from 52 ratings. Its own site lists a service area running from Norwalk, Westport and Stamford up to Danbury, Bethel and Brookfield, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer said they and their neighbors had G&L repair and pave a private road, and that Luis honored his original quote more than a year after it was given. A recent customer described the removal of an old driveway and the paving of a new one in less than two days total. A recent customer thanked the company for a new concrete sidewalk and a driveway redo. A recent customer with a New Canaan property wrote that they were up-charged $4,990 after work started, including for relaying apron stones they were told did not need re-laying, and that co-owner Luis Rivera told them the "bill is the bill." That customer said the complaint was reported to the Better Business Bureau and the Connecticut Dept of Consumer Protection. A recent customer warned against the company over a very bad attitude. A 2024 customer with two driveways said G&L did one in asphalt and the other in gravel, reset the Belgium block borders, and priced the job competitively with other quotes. In a 2024 review, a customer said they graded the base to direct water away from a garden and pool and did a small masonry project. A 2024 customer described a $30,000 cash job that started with a $9,000 change order after the driveway was ripped up, and bad puddling and cracking a year later. That 2024 customer said the contract called for 3 inches compacted to 2.5, while the thickest area was 1.5 inches. A 2023 customer wrote that Luis and Jose, the owners, were personally involved in making sure the work was done properly. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0649185, as active, held by G & L Paving and Masonry LLC.
G&L Paving recently repaved my driveway, and the quality of their finish is absolutely outstanding. They are undoubtedly a top-tier asphalt paving company. The crew does amazing work, and I am very pleased with the final result.
Do not trust or hire this company: We were significantly up-charged $4,990 AFTER work was started for (1) relaying apron stones that we were told did not need re-laying in our signed contract and (2) for less manual labor and equipment (drain pipes) than was estimated for our New Canaan property. To top it off, Mr. Luis Rivera, a co-owner, is the most unprofessional and rude "contractor" we have ever encountered. Rivera refused to go through our concerns and repeatedly told us we were stuck and the "bill is the bill" despite a signed agreement. We regret not hiring one of the other firms that bid on our project. Don't make our mistake. (Also, end work product is average, at best.) We have reported our complaint to the Better Business Bureau and the Connecticut Dept of Consumer Protection.
My neighbors and I recently had G&L completely repair and pave our private road after decades of neglect. While I can’t say enough good things about the exceptional work they did, what impressed me most was how easy, professional, and genuinely positive the entire experience was from start to finish. Carla and Caraleese were incredibly supportive throughout the process. They patiently answered all of my questions—and the many questions from my neighbors—with the same grace, professionalism, and responsiveness they showed from the very beginning. The paving crew was equally impressive. They were clearly experts at their craft and did an incredible job working through the layers of damaged ground and debris left behind by years of neglect. They were careful where it mattered, paid attention to every detail, and were very deliberate about keeping the area clean throughout the project. They were even superstars with the little kids on our road, who loved watching them work! And then there’s Luis, who really made the entire project come together. From our first conversation to the completion of the road, Luis was professional, knowledgeable, detailed, extremely patient, and incredibly fair. We first contacted G&L more than a year ago and received a very fair quote. Because of various circumstances, it took us much longer than expected to move forward, but Luis honored that original quote more than a year later. At no point did we feel pressured to “hurry up or else.” He simply continued to work with us and treated us fairly throughout the entire process. The end result is a beautifully repaired road that our entire neighborhood can finally enjoy again—but honestly, the finished road is only part of what makes me so happy we chose G&L. Great work is one thing. Great people are another. G&L has both. I’m incredibly grateful to Luis, Carla, Caraleese, and the entire G&L team for making what could have been a complicated and stressful project such an easy and positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend G&L to anyone looking for paving work done by people who genuinely care about doing the job right.
Full driveway replacement. Final product is excellent, would recommend to anyone.
Thank you G&L Paving for the great work you did on our new concrete sidewalk and redo on our driveway!! Karla, Luis and the gang did an amazing job!! You all were friendly and courteous to my husband & myself. Much thanks - Mario & Vicki
