NJ Paving & Masonry

I hired James McCaan to perform a large yard renovation project, which he claimed to be perfectly capable of performing well, mostly because of his availability and very competitive price. I learnt the hard way that if it is too good to be true, it generally is. His initial price turned our to be a teaser; elements of the project he claimed he could do well turned out to be above his professional skills; the work he has done has been low quality. Most mind boggling was his insistence that a drainage systems for water, which apparently is a key element of building retaining walls on which all other professionals agree "do need to be done". I guess it was my luck that he made such an outrageous statement which convinced me I was in the wrong hands. I ended up having to hire a real professional to undo and redo portions of the project. I suppose he can still do simple projects like a repaving a horizontal driveway at an OK quality, but beware from hiring him for any complex project.

James and his crew are very professional. The job was fairly priced. James replaced an asphalt walkway in the rear of the house and repaired cracked asphalt on the driveway by cutting out the cracked areas and putting in new asphalt. James also installed a new slate walkway in front of my home using slate I provided. The walkway looks terrific.James made sure that both jobs were done correctly. He is a gentleman, very personable and definitely know the business. I would recommend him and will use him again.

Professional crew excellent advice and workmanship price was very reasonable compared to others I would definitely recommend James and his crew

Excellent quality work. The job was completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company.

The contractor was very professional and very conscientious of my time. He showed up well before his scheduled time but was not pushy and did a thorough job before starting the job. I would definitely recommend.

During the work, the contractor's ladder slipped and broke several windows on my porch. After promising to repair the screen and broken windows, he has not returned to repair what he broke and has not returned my last phone call. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone.

James and his team did a great job installing Belgian blocks and repaving our driveway. The job was well priced and he kept to his time commitment. I would definitely recommend to friends.

James and his crew show up on time. Did the work professionally and on time.
