Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read "His asphalt was a true 3”" — that is how an April 2025 Google reviewer described Geno's driveway job for M&J Paving, along with a base he called the best he had seen. The Bridgeport company's website says it has delivered asphalt, concrete and paving work across New Haven and Fairfield counties for over 20 years. Driveways lead the reviews. A September 2026 customer wrote that the crew paved their driveway and a neighbor's the same day, and came back to fix tire marks from extreme heat free of charge, though it took a little while during the busy season. In a December 2025 review, a customer whose driveway was paved and a side sidewalk added said Chino was very professional and the work was done on time. A May 2026 review describes front steps and a walkway replaced on schedule, with the surrounding plants protected, and a September 2025 customer had excavation and a retaining wall built for an above ground pool. An April 2024 Angi review credits Mercedario and his crew with a brand new driveway at a price the customer called affordable. One July 2026 Google review, rating the job 4★, says an asphalt driveway was replaced with gravel and almost all of the work was completed in good fashion, but the job was not fully finished as expected. Google shows 4.9★ from 10 ratings, and Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 5.0★ from 3 ratings. The website offers free estimates and says the company is insured. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0699902, is active. **Strengths:** - Asphalt driveways — 2024–2026 reviews describe new paved driveways - Came back free — 2026 customer's heat marks fixed at no charge **Concerns:** - Finish details — 2026 review says a gravel driveway job was not fully finished ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - An April 2025 customer said the asphalt was a true 3 inches over a well-built base _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvOGJTR3RBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xe26c859ccc151fab!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCo8bSGtAE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Geno was such a man of his word !!
