Got Pavement Needs is an East Bridgewater, MA asphalt paving and driveway contractor, run by owner Bob Brainard, serving Milton, Weymouth, Easton and the surrounding South Shore. The company states it offers free estimates and focuses on driveway paving, parking-lot paving, sealcoating, crack and pothole repair, and resurfacing. Recent Google reviews (2024-2026) are overwhelmingly positive and specific: homeowners consistently credit Bob and his crew with prompt on-site estimates, clear communication, fast scheduling, and finished driveways completed on the quoted timeline and price. Several reviews from 2025 and 2026 describe multi-thousand-square-foot driveway replacements and grading for drainage, a stated multi-year warranty, and one reviewer noted the company honored a year-old quote despite rising material costs. A 2022 news report and a tax-law firm write-up both describe a 'former owner' of Got Pavement Needs, surnamed Brainard, who underreported personal income on tax returns and received a one-year prison sentence; the current owner named throughout recent reviews is also surnamed Brainard, though the record does not establish whether they are the same person. Separately, a single 2025 one-star review alleges the company withdrew a bid after learning the reviewer was collecting competing quotes and claims the company deletes negative reviews - one complaint among dozens of detailed, positive accounts.
“The former owner of Got Pavement Needs underreported income on his tax returns for seven years. Now, he'll serve one year in prison.”
“Brainard, the former owner of Got Pavement Needs, Inc., underreported income on his personal tax returns for tax years 2014 through 2021, resulting in an income tax loss of more than $593,993.”
Great job, quick work, good price! Professional team removed old, beat-up driveway in just over half a day and installed beautiful new one.
Bob and his crew were all business. They did a beautiful job on our driveway. I would absolutely recommend Got Pavement Needs.
I hired Got Pavement Inc. to remove my existing 4,500+ sq. ft. driveway and install a new one. I received several estimates, and while their pricing was competitive, Got Pavement stood out for four reasons: 1) Bob, the owner, provided the most thorough estimate. He used precise laser measurements and included a detailed diagram and total square footage. It gave me confidence that he had properly evaluated the project. 2) Bob has over 25 years of experience, which really shows. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and explained the entire process clearly. 3) Their 5-year warranty was the best I found. Most other contractors offered only 2 years. 4) Their equipment was impressive. They had a newer paving machine, were one of the few contractors equipped to install a proper Cape Cod berm, and brought two full-size rollers. My kids and I even enjoyed watching all the machinery in action! Once work started, it was clear this was a professional crew. Everything was well coordinated, the crew worked efficiently, and there was no wasted time waiting for materials or instructions. They were especially meticulous with grading because we have drainage and water issues. The finished driveway looks fantastic, and the attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Bob and the team at Got Pavement Inc. for anyone looking for quality paving work.
Bob and team showed up on time and ready to go. GREAT attention to detail and honestly just really nice guys. Clean up was perfect. Highly recommend!!!!
We recently had a brand new driveway installed, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Bob and his crew were professional, courteous, and hardworking from start to finish. They showed up on time, kept us informed throughout the process, and paid close attention to every detail. The finished driveway looks fantastic and has completely improved the appearance of our home. The workmanship is excellent, and it's clear they take pride in the quality of their work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable company that delivers outstanding results. Thank you for a job well done!
