Basic concept of running a successful business is say what you do and do what you say. These guys execute!
Dealing with GW Asphalt has been great. It started when you get a quote, everything is explained to you. Then the day they show up to prep the driveway and paving the next day, they just worked! We highly recommend them!!!

We had our driveway extended and repaved by GW. They are incredibly efficient and they work together like a well oiled machine! I couldnt believe how fast they got the grading and paving done and it looks amazing! You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their work. The team is also super friendly! My 7 month old son sat in the window and watched them work and the crew waved to him and made faces and kept him laughing and happy. I really appreciated that!

Very happy with the work GW Paving did. They provided a detailed quote mentioning the compacted thickness of the base and asphalt they would provide. The driveway was completed in two days (removal of old asphalt, compact new base and paving) and they did a quality professional job. I found many other companies are hesitant to provide any details about paving project.

Fabulous job done on my 30 year old hole filled driveway. I am very particular and wanted a quality job that would last and GW exceeded my expectations with the quality of their work and were more detailed than I was . Awesome group of hard working guys and were very responsive to what I was looking to have corrected. Thanks for an awesome improvement to my home!

I cannot say enough good things about GW Paving. They were amazing from start to finish, and I have a beautiful new driveway to show for it. They completely excavated and removed my old asphalt, prepared the site and laid the base on Thursday, then returned the next Monday to pave. I was so impressed with the way the team worked together, everyone knowing what was expected of them, they just got it done, quickly and efficiently. The fact that the owner was on-site for all the work speaks volumes for the way this company is run. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a quality job at
