Pave Tech LLC

Pave Tech LLC is Eddie Henriquez's paving outfit in Newton, and the thing that keeps showing up across years of reviews isn't just smooth asphalt — it's drainage. Customer after customer describes a driveway that used to pool water or flood a garage, and Eddie diagnosing the runoff problem and building a fix into the job: a dry well and angled asphalt to keep water off a garage door built under the house, a below-ground pipe tied into a downspout that had been dumping onto the pavement, a regrade after a builder's drainage grate kept caving in and icing over every winter. The written record runs from 2021 to today, 81 reviews across five platforms with a 4.9-star Google average and a BBB A+ grade. Most of the work is driveway paving and seal coating, usually finished in a day or two, and several customers single out Eddie personally — showing up the same day to quote a job, driving the paver himself, handling city permitting a homeowner had been stuck on for months. Masonry and hardscaping come up too: a 2025 review describes retaining walls, a front walkway, and a stone pathway all rebuilt in one visit, and a 2021 review recalls cobblestone borders added to a driveway back in 2020. Two complaints stand out and are worth asking about directly. A recent review describes being strung along for nine months, then stood up twice for a scheduled driveway date with no call either time. A 2025 review says a small patch job started caving in within a month and the owner didn't return calls about it. Neither is the norm in a record this size, but both describe exactly the kind of follow-through problem that's hard to verify until it happens to you. Separately, the state registry shows Pave Tech's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration has lapsed — worth confirming its current status before signing anything. For a straightforward driveway or a job with a real drainage problem behind it, this is a company whose customers keep coming back for repeat work — seal coats, additions, second driveways. Ask about the registration and get a firm date in writing before you commit.
