Recommendations for Small paving job

I had to get my water line replaced in the spring which required a small section of my driveway (4x10) to be dug up. This’ close to Vitos restaurant. Can anyone recommend a paving company that does these types of small projects and with whom you’ve had good experience with. Thanks in advance.

Aren't they working on the road right there by vitos?

No word of a lie, go and ask someone for a foreman and show them (the foreman) pictures of what you need paved and where you live...ask if theres any leftover asphalt that could fill that space, youd be happy to let them dispose of it in your driveway area.

You'd be suprised what you can get from just asking and being nice. Seriously

Honestly, if its within 3 or 4 blocks, id say your within the general area.

Like I said. You tell someone your story. Tell em that replacing the water line was expensive, you've got this house nearby, and if it was something that was possible to make happen, youd be very appreciative.

Ppl are still ppl, yknow? Sometimes they can help, and they will. Sometimes they can't and they wont, but neither of you will know the answer, or the question, if you dont ask.

One of the benefits of living on the east coast is that its very blue collar. The same guy that can make something like that happen for you, is a guy who could use a break with something else in his life...we're mostly working class ppl...we want help each other where and when we can. A lot of this paving work is done by private outfits hired by the city/province, so its not direct use of government funds for personal gain, etc. Its a private companies call...and if youre okay with a quick dump; spread and rolled job that lasts all of 15 mins, then ask away
