## The honest read

A 2024 customer said McDonough Paving showed up when promised and worked from 7:30am until about 6:30pm to rip up the old driveway, dig out tree roots, add a base material and repave it.

The company describes itself on its website as offering asphalt repair, installation and sealcoating for residential and commercial customers, and says it has been in business for 30 years. Its stated service area includes Marshfield, Norwell, Hingham, Plymouth and Quincy. On Google it averages 4.7 stars from 12 ratings, and it holds an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau.

A 2025 customer said they arrived at 7:30 and were finished by 4:30, reported no damage to the lawn and called the price spot on. A 2021 customer described Patrick McDonough and his crew removing a compromised asphalt driveway and repaving it, and said Patrick updated them as he proceeded with the project. A 2023 customer said Patrick and his team were on schedule and on time the day of the work, and that everything quoted was delivered.

A 2025 customer said the driveway still looked good a year later and that the owners helped them decide what was best for the property. A 2023 customer praised the seal coating on their driveway.

A recent Google reviewer objects to engine brake use on Main Street in Norwell and calls the drivers unprofessional.
