The retaining wall at the front of a customer's house had been built wrong when the house went up — a November 2025 reviewer said Thomas worked that out at the first look, then his crew rebuilt it. Metric Paving and Masonry is a Waltham, MA family business that its site describes as three generations deep and over 25 years in the trade, working driveways, steps, walkways, walls and sidewalks across Greater Boston. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry. Driveways are the bread and butter, and customers tend to describe them by the clock. A May 2026 homeowner laid out the repaving as it happened: a clear estimate up front, two days to pull out the old driveway and prep the base, one day to lay the asphalt, with a channel drain built into the job. An October 2025 customer had a driveway replaced and extended while the crew repointed a stone-and-mortar foundation more than a century old. The Google page stands at 5 stars from 45 ratings. The masonry side runs from brick to bluestone. In a June 2025 review, a homeowner described new brick steps — bricks clean and straight, the alignment right, the old ones hauled away. An October 2024 customer had bluestone patios power washed after years of weather staining and grouted so weeds could no longer come up between the stones, and a May 2025 project covered a widened driveway, a new front walkway and stone patios in one go. Thomas is the name that comes up most, with Paul and Michael close behind; a June 2026 reviewer noted that Paul provided the quote, worked on the job, supervised the crew and did the talking with the customer. Pricing gets described as fair and clearly explained, and an April 2024 customer said their number beat the other quotes. If your job is a wall or a driveway where water is part of the problem, this is a natural call — ask for the drainage to be spelled out in the written quote, along with the base prep and the day-by-day schedule, and confirm the registration number against the state register before you sign.
We wanted a walkway ramp to replace our several step walkway. I did a bit research and Thomas was the first contractor I called. He was timely, well mannered and offered exactly what I wanted. The job was done beautifully, on budget and on time. They did such an outstanding job, we had them redo our entire patio. If anyone is looking for a crew that can do one of the items on the list of what Metric can accomplish, I highly recommend them. You cannot go wrong!!
Trying to make a decision...look no further! Professional, accommodating, great outcome. I am quite pleased and as a Property Manager, I plan on using Metric Paving for future jobs!
Very professional, fair price. Paul did a great job. This is a family business. Highly recommend! Paul provided the quote, is on the job doing the work, supervising the team, and communicating with his customer. He is really invested in building the business. We had a large crack across the driveway and some areas that have bubbled up. The team came to dig up, lay mixed stone foundation, let it set, then asphalt. We are very pleased with the care with which they laid the asphalt - the edges into the garage, adjoining existing stone walls and pavers, and next to lawn are beautiful. Hard work when the weather is so hot and humid!!
Had an excellent experience with Metric across the board. Driveway needed repaving. Got a fair and clear estimate quickly. Job was completed the following month. Two days to remove old driveway and prep the area. One day to lay asphalt. This job included channel drain and dry well installation for runoff that involved digging up some of the lawn. They saved the sod that was dug up and put it back pretty seamlessly so the lawn barely shows the work. The team was efficient, neat, professional, and friendly. Left everything cleaned up nicely. It was hard to find a contractor to even provide an estimate for a relatively small job. I was very impressed by the whole team from start to finish. Would recommend highly.
Excellent quality work done by patient and professional workers. Arrived on time, finished on time and within stated budget. I Recommend without reservations.
