Galvin's Asphalt

Galvin's Asphalt is a Hyannis-area paving business associated with Joseph Galvin; its BBB and Porch pages use the same PO Box 613 address, while a HomeAdvisor profile under Joseph Galvin Trucking describes 41 years of experience and free estimates. The work shown is driveway-centered: asphalt installation, repair, sealing, and commercial paving are listed services. There is a real split in the customer picture. HomeAdvisor shows 19 ratings averaging 4.8, and customers writing in 2021 and 2022 repeatedly described newly paved or repaved driveways, grading, drainage, prompt estimates, and competitive pricing. A 2022 homeowner described a 130-foot driveway and parking area sloped to send water toward the street; several 2021 customers also praised explanations, schedule updates, and finished surfaces. The newer Google comments are much more serious. In May 2025, one reviewer said holes had formed near a porch and reported ten unanswered calls. A 2023 reviewer alleged driveway cracking, irrigation damage, thin asphalt, and unsafe equipment use; these are customer allegations, not independently established findings, but they are specific enough to raise before signing. Google shows 2.3 from three ratings, far below the other directory averages. This is a reasonable call for someone seeking an asphalt driveway quote, especially if they can inspect recent local work. Ask for a written scope covering base preparation, asphalt thickness, drainage, price, schedule, and a clear repair or callback process before booking.
