Last 6 months: 8 reviews, 2 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Fast driveway replacement — a recent customer said it took less than two days - An honored old quote — a recent customer said Luis kept it a year later - Drainage grading — a 2024 customer said they graded water away from a pool **Concerns:** - Mid-job up-charge — a recent customer was charged $4,990 more after work started - Asphalt thickness — a 2024 customer said the thickest area was 1.5 inches - Dispute handling — a recent customer said Luis Rivera refused to discuss concerns ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.8-star Google average from 52 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=G%26L%20Paving%20and%20Masonry%2C%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJBeLuyYMe6IkRnw42GJJXhzo) — “Google: 4.8★ from 52 ratings” - BBB grade A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/norwalk/profile/paving-contractors/g-l-paving-and-masonry-llc-0111-87136286) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - Its site lists a service area from Norwalk to Danbury and Brookfield _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.glpavingandmasonry.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Norwalk, Westport, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, Greenwich, Fairfield, Wilton, Ridgefield, Redding, Eas…” - A recent customer said Luis honored an original quote more than a year later on a private road job _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT20xRU1GVmtTbUphVm1KeU1HeHFlVnBuZDNwdlRFRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x3a87579218360e9f!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm1EMFVkSmJaVmJyMGxqeVpnd3pvTEE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ My neighbors and I recently had G&L completely repair and pave our private road after decades of neglect.
