Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Midstate Paving is a driveway paver, and a 2025 commenter in r/Connecticut said Midstate Paving from Wallingford replaced their driveway and recommended them. A recent Google customer says the finished driveway looks gorgeous. The base under the asphalt is where the work gets specific. A 2024 customer said their driveway had no base, and Nick Jr explained that adding one could make it last 25-30 years; that 2024 customer said Nick Sr also advised on where to end the driveway and how to fix a lip at the front. A 2025 customer wrote that Nick paved a large shared driveway and two private driveways: in one day they tore out the old driveways and releveled a new base, and the new driveway went in six weeks later. A 2024 customer whose house sits at the bottom of a hill said Nick and his crew designed a solution to the drainage problem. A 2024 customer said Nick supervised the replacement of a cracked 25-year-old driveway himself, brought slight damage to a garage-door trim piece to their attention, and reimbursed them for the repair. A 2023 customer wrote that they gave Nick an $8,000 down payment for a driveway and patio and then could not reach him. A 2024 customer whose driveway was done in 2019 said a 10-year warranty had been offered in exchange for a review, and that a hairline-crack repair dragged from March into June before Nick asked them to hire someone else; that 2024 customer later updated the review to say Nick dropped off a check for more than they requested. A 2022 customer said the company promised to come look at a driveway but never did and did not return messages for two weeks. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0575852, as active, held by MIDSTATE PAVING INC. **Strengths:** - A new driveway base — a 2024 customer was told it could last 25-30 years - A drainage solution — a 2024 customer said Nick and his crew designed one - Trim damage reimbursed — a 2024 customer said Nick paid for the repair **Concerns:** - A lost deposit — a 2023 customer could not reach Nick after $8,000 down - A slow warranty repair — a 2024 customer waited from March into June - An unreturned call — a 2022 customer said no one came or called back ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2025 Reddit commenter said Midstate Paving from Wallingford replaced their driveway and recommended them _(confidence: high)_ - [reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Connecticut/comments/1o4qg0v/driveway_paving_companies/nj3wj5t/) — “r/Connecticut — I had Midstate Paving from Wallingford to replace our driveway.
