Rick Cooper Paving

Rick Cooper Paving is a Billerica outfit that has been redoing driveways, parking lots and private roads across MetroWest since 1972, describing itself as family-owned and run today by Andy Cooper. The volume of recent work stands out: eighteen reviews run from a 2016 Houzz account to a steady run of Google reviews through mid-2026, and the current pattern is consistent — homeowners describe fast turnarounds (one 100-foot driveway finished in a single day), crews that show up on schedule, and pricing several call fair or competitive. A few customers single out drainage fixes and cobblestone borders or retaining walls as standout details, and some have hired the crew for repeat jobs over several years. What's worth knowing before calling: in 2025, Boston 25 News and Hoodline reported that owner Richard Cooper, 71, was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to a multiyear scheme that concealed roughly $5.1 million in customer payments from the IRS. That's a serious matter tied to the business's own finances, separate from the paving work itself. A single 2025 Google review also described an odd phone call while getting an estimate, though it gave no further detail. For a straightforward driveway or parking-lot paving job, the work itself carries a long, well-reviewed track record — just go in aware of the owner's tax case before signing anything.
