Pilgrim Paving is a family-owned asphalt contractor in Hanover whose yellow signs, as one customer put it, turn up in driveways and parking lots all over the South Shore. The company says it was established in 1992 and works the South Shore, Boston and Cape Cod on residential, commercial and industrial jobs: driveways, parking lots, walkways, sports courts, berms, line striping and sealcoating. It says its owner is present on every job, and customers name him as Bill Dyer. Most of what homeowners describe is driveway replacement and expansion. This summer, one customer said the owner suggested a change to what they had planned and was right, and another described a crew that demolished, dug, pitched and graded the old driveway and left no trace of mess. In a 2023 review, a homeowner laid out the build they got: six inches of compacted grading material, two inches of base asphalt and an inch and a half of top coat, at a reasonable price. A 2024 customer with a 25-year-old driveway said a seven-person crew tore it out and repaved it in seven hours, and another that year had a gravel driveway redone over landscape fabric with a cobblestone apron. A Reddit commenter this month said the crew took out an entire worn driveway, dug down, laid a base and asphalt, and were fussy about getting it right. Customers regularly mention fair prices and several describe coming back for more work over many years. There are a few complaints. A 2024 reviewer said the owner tried to fix water flow that iced over in winter, but icing still occurred, if less than before. In 2022, a customer praised the driveway but said the crew arrived half an hour past the scheduled window without calling, and their messages went unanswered for days; a 2021 reviewer said the company never got back to them. Separately, a 2022 news report states that William E. Dyer, owner of a Hanover paving company, was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for a tax evasion scheme in which, according to court documents, he had Pilgrim Paving customers write checks to him personally from 2014 through 2018.
“Pilgrim Paving did a nice job on our driveway. Was pretty beat and they took out the entire thing, dug down some, laid a base and asphalt on top. They were really fussy making sure it was done correctly.”
“Owner of Hanover Paving Company Sentenced for Tax Evasion Scheme ... A recent scheme involving the owner of a commercial and residential paving business in Hanover, Massachusetts, has come to an end. William E. Dyer, 57, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and one year of supervised release for his role in a tax evasion scheme. ... According to court documents, from 2014 through 2018, Dyer diverted payments from Pilgrim Paving customers by directing customers to write checks to him and then cashing those checks.”
Excellent staff, from our first foreman on site, Bill, with what I call the demo crew to the several men who joined the process of digging, pitching and grading to the necessary but tedious hand operated rolling machine at the end, for the finished product. Everyone was kind, hardworking, respectful and cleaned up so well at the end, you would never know they were there.
The owner Bill Dyer was totally on point from the first time we said hello until the very last sweep of a broom. He suggested a change to what I thought I wanted based on his experience and he was 100% correct. I could not be happier with the end result. I highly recommend Pilgrim Paving for their professionalism, Work ethic and caring about getting everything done the right the first time.
Provided high quality and value residential driveway service in Norwell MA. All current new equipment, plenty of knowledgeable pleasant manpower. A pleasure to work with from quote to completion.
We couldn't be more pleased with the work Pilgrim Paving did on our driveway. It was in terrible shape - potholes, cracks, and uneven spots that made it a real eyesore and hard to drive on. From the first meeting to the final paving, their team was professional, courteous, and clearly experienced. They arrived on time, explained the entire process in detail, and completed the job efficiently. The end result looks fantastic. The surface is super smooth, no more bumps or cracks, and it really makes a difference in how the whole front of the house looks. Super happy with how it turned out. If you need your driveway paved or repaired, I’d definitely recommend them!
