PAVE - MINT

Pave-Mint is a Shrewsbury paving company run by Keith Kniskern, and the thing customers write about most is that the owner is on the job. Reviewer after reviewer describes Keith walking the driveway with them at the estimate, being on site through the pour, and answering calls and texts himself. The work is residential asphalt: full driveway replacement, patching and crack repair, sealcoating, edging and drainage. A 2026 customer measured the pitch of a new driveway after heavy rain and reported no puddling and drainage working exactly as intended. Another had a drain installed alongside a replacement, then brought the company back twice more — to rebuild a drain on one of their roads and to put in a driveway and walkway. A 2026 sealcoating customer described tight edges and a thick, even coat applied with a squeegee, done in a little over an hour. Several people mention the crews sweeping up debris, one even sweeping out the garage. Pricing comes up as often as the work. Customers who compared quotes say Pave-Mint came in competitively; one 2025 customer noted a five-year guarantee on the work; a Barre homeowner who had been quoted well beyond their budget elsewhere found the company willing to travel out from Shrewsbury and do the job. A Worcester Reddit commenter in May 2026 said neighbours had their driveway done by Pave-mint and it looked like a good job. BBB lists the business as started in 2011, graded A+ but not accredited, with two Lakeside Drive addresses in Shrewsbury. Google shows 5 stars from 52 ratings, and the 47 reviews on file all date from 2025 and 2026 with none negative, so while the praise is unusually specific and consistent, there is no account here of a job going wrong. If you need a driveway paved, sealed or drained around Worcester County this is a strong shortlist candidate; ask what the guarantee covers and get it in writing.
