Northland Paving Ltd

Last year we decided to have a new asphalt driveway installed. We were impressed with our neighbours driveway and asked them who did the work. We contacted Northland and they sent Georgio to our home. Georgio took the time to listen to our plans for our home and then made some great suggestions and answered all of our questions, The workmanship was excellent and the work was completed per schedule and we could not be more pleased.

This project was expensive but I chose the company based on the quality of their work in my area. It was a good choice. The final product looks good. The process from beginning to end went smoothly. I was well informed at all times and pleased with professionalism of the crew. Special thanks go to Sean with whom I signed the contract for his consistent availability and patience for answering all my questions (I had many).

We had a project that involved 4 components: a cement floor in the garage, interlocking brick patio with stairway and retaining wall in the backyard, a front porch face lift with interlocking stones and liquid cement, and new asphalt in the lane way. It went well and we are satisfied. We have experienced a customer focused service that was top notch. Very impressed with the finished product.

So just in their nature not all contracting jobs are a straight line start to finish. I judge a firm by how they navigate the path to successful completion and post payment service.

Northland provided super advice on planning the job. Very responsive email on planning and coordinating all the services. Most importantly when a few things poped up after I paid, they continued to be prompt and helpful.

I know they are not the cheapest. But I'd use them again and recommend them to my friends.

We had our driveway paved by Northland last July. I waited to write this review to see how the driveway would hold up in a year or so. It is a very long driveway that curves into our carport. The driveway is looking alright. A few areas that could have been done a little neater but I can live with it. Actually, I have no choice. Georgio quoted me a price that was higher then everyone else but I decided to go with them anyways due to their reputation and paid the extra. If I had to do it all over again I probably would have gone with the lesser quote as I have seen the work their completion did and it was quite acceptable. After signing the contract, it took approx. 2+ months from the time they ripped up the driveway till the paving. The workers were quite friendly and went about their business in a timely and professional fashion. They did a fair job in cleaning up after completion. Other then what I mentioned above, the one complaint I have is after the contract was signed and job completed I had a discount coupon that they wouldn't honor because the contract had already been signed and paid for. I thought this was a tad petty but it is what it is.

I resurfaced my very long driveway with asphalt. The asphalt was lined with pavers. I am very satisfied with the work done by the company. All the staff were professional and a pleasure to deal with. The neighbors were not inconvenience by the resurfacing job due to the efficient operations.

Our new interlock patio and walkway, and garden walls, look spectacular. We give Northland Paving the highest recommendation.

With Northland Paving, it quickly became apparent that we had hired the best – both in the superior quality of the work done, and how we were treated as customers. Everyone at Northland was easy to deal with, pleasant to talk to, very accommodating, and really cared that we were satisfied – sales rep, office staff, excavation crew, interlock installation crew, and the person who did the decorative concrete finishing.

Northland did all of the following for us:
- installed interlock front patio and side walkway with steps
- built garden walls
- installed a drainage system (so downspouts could be disconnected)
- waterproofed the basement wall
- applied a decorative epoxy finish to an existing retaining wall
- coordinated the irrigation system installation with Rainbow Sprinkler Services (also do excellent work)

It started by meeting with Giorgio, who asked what we wanted, provided suggestions, and gave us the estimate. What really made his proposal stand out from others was the garden walls, full steps, and the “quilting “ (a border of different coloured interlock which looks great and adds a touch of elegance). He knew all aspects of the job, made several helpful recommendations, and was involved throughout the entire project, including coordinating with the irrigation system installers. He responded immediately when unexpected changes were needed and extra work required (waterproofing of basement wall).

Sheila from Northland’s office, was so nice, helpful, and pleasant to talk to. She kept us informed throughout, letting us know when work would start and was expected to finish, and when crews would be showing up.

Gabriel and his crew handled the excavation. He knew all aspects of the work being done, and really understood how his work laying the base for the interlock would affect the work being done after - a sure sign of a real pro. He assessed the job, explained what he and his crew would be doing, and discussed the all the work being done to ensure the excavation was exactly right. While installing the base, he realized the grade at the side of the house was too steep for what we originally planned, and recommended some changes that fit in perfectly with what we wanted for the walkway.

Milan and his crew installed the interlock patio and walkway, and garden walls. He was meticulous in the precision stonework he and his crew did, and took real pride in his work, insisting that everything had to be done right. He’s a true craftsman, and it really shows – like I said earlier, spectacular.

Dave did the decorative finishing for the concrete retaining wall, which now looks great. He provided photos of work he’d done ahead of time, met with us to discuss options and provided suggestions, and helped us chose the style and colour of finish. The stucco-like finish blends in nicely with the interlock walkway.

Even the cleanup was noticeable - everything was spotless when they finished.

Thank you Giorgio, Sheila, Gabriel, Milan, Dave, and the rest of the people who did such a fabulous job.

A few asthetic issues prompted me to call Northland paving after a few months. They were responsive, and addressed my concerns immediately, in person. So far we are happy.

I would recommend Northland.

In late summer 2015, my wife and I hired Northland for our front pathway interlock and driveway paving. We are very pleased with the results. Their representative suggested an antique tumbled brick complemented by colour-contrasting textured inlay or “quilting." Looks great. Two areas of special interest are a horizontal “Gothic arch” feature (where the pathway meets an "English" garden) and a stone flower box. The masons and paving group worked in tandem to ensure that the decorative interlock and inlay along the driveway meshed with the asphalt. Kudos as well to Giorgio Simonetta, for his design advice, and to Northland’s attentive office staff.

Excellent job. Clean and professional. Took care of a double layer of old asphalt. They were timely and i have recommended them to a few people already. I believe it to be a Reasonable price
