Pro Paving and Excavating

Pro Paving and Excavating handles the whole site, not just the top coat. From its Westport yard the company does asphalt driveways, parking lots and roads — patching, line striping, grinding and removal — plus the work underneath them: grading, site work, retaining walls, septic system installation, drainage fields and underground utilities. It describes itself as a second-generation family business, started by Alfred T. Nogueira and passed down to his sons. Its BBB file lists Alfred Nogueira as president and Jennifer Nogueira as co-owner, with the corporation formed in July 2007, 19 years in business and six employees. The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry lists a Women Business Enterprise certification, number 20100203, as active — though it expires on 10 September 2026, so if that certification matters to your project, confirm it has been renewed before signing. The paperwork is stronger than the customer history. BBB has accredited the company since July 2012 and grades it A+, with no complaints or government actions on its page. Against that sits a single written review: a March 2025 Google comment praising a driveway, mentioning a parking lot done for a friend a few months earlier, and crediting the owner and crew with caring about the quality. Google's average is 4.2 across five ratings — lower than that one review alone would suggest. The company is also inconsistent about itself. Its home page claims over 25 years of experience while its About page says over 40. Its Procore profile — claimed, and matching the Westport address and phone — files it as a general contractor specializing in earthwork, with two projects since September 2023 and an average project size just over $11.4 million, a figure that sits oddly beside a six-employee BBB listing. For a driveway, a lot, or a job that needs the digging and the asphalt from one outfit, this is a long-established, credentialed local option. Ask for addresses of recent driveways you can go look at, get base preparation and asphalt depth written into the quote, and ask straight out about the years-in-business and project-size differences before you commit.
