5 Stars Review | August, 2024
My neighbor recommended AK Paving for my small driveway project. The project consisted of removing 3 layers of asphalt and repaving, add a Belgium block apron, and leveling a prefab concrete trench drain so vehicles can enter garage smoother. When the owner, Alex Lino surveyed the job, he suggested building up the cement walls of the trench as the original installer pitched the trench properly and addressed the ~3" step up when vehicles entered garage with anchored perforated platforms. Secondly, the driveway is both on a decline slope into garage but also on hill, so you are dealing with 2 angles if that makes sense. Lastly, vehicles entering or exiting top of driveway always bottomed out either the front of the air dam or rear undercarriage. Previous owners tried cutting away and repair with cold patch as seen in pic. What an eyesore. The projected started on time as scheduled and the team of 3, 4, or 5 people depending on phase of project were professional with various skillsets. I watched probably 95% of the project and learned a lot and their meticulous workmanship. It took 3.5 days to complete. Alex is very conscientious and extremely knowledgeable mentioning his 30 years of expertise is any complex stonework which he prefers, concrete, and asphalt paving. What's also important about the company is the front office is staffed properly and any email communication has always been answered within 24 hours but typically within the same day. The proposal presented to me was very competitive and met scope. I highly recommend AK Paving for your project needs in vision, budgetary, and timeline requirements

AK Paving came highly recommended by several people and they did not disappoint. We had them replace our bluestone walkway and we are extremely happy with the quality of their work and their reasonable prices. They are a pleasure to work with and we would recommend them to anyone.

5 Stars Review | November, 2023
What did we do?
We contracted AK Paving in April 2023 to repave our old driveway and install a double line of belgian blocks on each side.
How did we chose AK Paving?
Before starting we had obtained multiple quotes from different contractors and chose to work with Alex because of his great references and great online reviews. We wanted a quality job and, because we work in the city and would not always be present during the day, we wanted to work with someone we could trust.
How did it go?
Since the beginning Alex was responsive and explained us how things would work. He started on time, finished on time, and was available to come by when we had questions and to discuss progress/questions. AK Paving's craftsmanship is really amazing. Not only do they use top quality commercial grade materials, the crew is knowledgeable and professional, and they take the time to do things well, without shortcuts. Alex takes real pride in his work, and asked multiple times his crew to fix various things along the way which he really didn't have to: we would have been none the wiser. But he did so to make sure the final product was something he would be proud of.
Final Words:
Our driveway now is simply stunning!! We could not be happier. Most highly recommended.

Experience: If a picture is worth a thousand words, you may reference the photos of completed work on Facebook for the best representation of the expertise and quality of A K Pavers.
I first wrote about A K Pavers in 2015. Since that time they have returned to do additional work. Why? Because there is no better contractor and company that exceeds the quality of their work. A K Pavers is synonymous with quality, perfection and their attention to the smallest details is impeccable. The contractors arrive early and diligently fulfil the specifications of the job. The superiority of workmanship is only surpassed by the integrity and honor of the owner, Alex. He is in high demand because of his integrity and quality of work, as such I schedule a job, he gives me an estimate of a start date and I patiently wait for his availability, which is always on target with his estimate, because I know there is no better contracting company than A K Pavers. There is no job too big or too small and Alex is forthright in regards to the parameters of his expertise.
My family highly recommends A K Pavers. Rest assured that all of your expectations will be fulfilled and exceeded when you contract with A K Pavers!

Front walkway
Experience: Very very pleased with how our walkway turned out. The crew removed the old builder's concrete walkway and replaced it with a serpentine path of pavers. The path has gone through several winters and still looks like it did when installed.
Herb Perten
Experience: Great work, done exactly on schedule. Couldn't be more pleased!
Elaine Royal
Experience: We had AK paving do some work for us about 2 years ago. Alex's work was great! He installed pavers in front of our home, replaced an old sidewalk that had cracked from years of root growth, as well as install a patio in our back yard. He gave our property a major face lift and made it's exterior space much more usable! We still get neighbors complementing us on how much better the properly looks! Alex and his crew worked hard and were very good about answering the questions that we had. We would definitely use him again.

Thank you, Alex!! Hillary Krane

AK Paving did an excellent job on our backyard! They performed excavation, grading, drainage, concrete work, herringbone brick patio, and a sand box.
I'm in the construction industry for over 20 years and the quality is excellent! Their pricing was also very competitive. We ran into a couple of unforeseen conditions that added a couple of extra days to the project, and Alex took care of them without asking for any additional money. Our budget was very tight, but we were so happy with the outcome of the project that we gave Alex some additional money for the extra days added. JOB WELL DONE!
Thanks Alex! Danny & Danielle, Eastchester, NY
Driveway
Alex does great work! This is our second time using him. He also did our patio, walkway and steps. I would never use anyone else. Work is perfectly done and done quickly. He takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Alex and AK Paving. You will not be disappointed.

Driveway
AK paving did a thoroughly professional job! From the first estimate to finishing the job, it was a pleasure to deal with the whole team. AK paving completely redid the back portion of the driveway and resealed the remaining portion. Alex kept us updated through every aspect of the job. I highly recommend them.

April 2016 - Driveway, patio, drain, walkway, wall
I first became aware of the fine work Alex and his men did when my sister hired them. She was so pleased with the the great price and even more impressed with their fine work. I called Alex and he came over the next day. I explained to him what I wanted to have done. Alex was very attentive to my needs and even gave me some recommendations that saved me money. He then gave me a very fair quote. He and his men worked in a very professional and speedy manor. They first put down Belgian block on both sides of my driveway (they used a saw to make the edges really straight), broke out my old concrete patio and installed paving stone,They took out the old cobble stone in the backyard and replace it with wall that matched my paves. He repaired my sunken walk and filled the empty spaces around the paves with sand. All through this time Ales would explain to me exactly what was being done and why. I even changed some things I wanted to have done in the middle of the job with no difficulties from Alex. He was very flexible. The job came out better than I could have ever imagined. Every one I show is very impressed.
I highly recommend AK PAVING. This has been the best experience I ever had with a contractor. I highly recommend AK PAVING. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!

Repair front brick and concrete steps
Experience: We were so pleased with the work that AK Paving did for us years ago, we didn't hesitate to hire them again when our next need arose. The first project involved creating a patio and side walkway. Both turned out beautifully, and the staff was a pleasure to work with. The more recent project involved repairing damaged steps. Rather than gouge us for an entirely new set of stairs, Alex found a way to repair the damage and replace only what was necessary. The work was again performed expertly and courteously. Even after he received full payment, Alex didn't hesitate to return to the site to respond to a couple minor adjustments we requested, and further work was done without argument or hassle. Alex's response: "You have to be totally happy." Amen to that! And we are.
Susan and Dan, Eastchester NY
Alex was a pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job. He did everything he said he would do and more. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Repair driveway and walkway
This summer, Alex and his crew did an excellent job repaving our driveway, installing stone at the base where the driveway meets the street, and in completely redoing the walkway to our house with new stone. His crew recently returned to seal both the driveway and the walkway. The initial start time was delayed a bit because of other work that Alex had and weather conditions, but once the work was started in it was done meticulously, in the time estimated, and on budget.

November 2015
I observed the quality of AK Pavers work for years and when I was ready to do work in my home I did not hesitate to contact them. Alex, the owner is an honorable, respectful, and humble man. At the same time his vast experience and wisdom guided me through two major projects. He recreated an oasis in my backyard with pavers and a stone planting area.
When I returned home and saw his creation, complete with organic dirt for planting, I was not only satisfied but delighted. The following season I had him return and complete the entire front of the house with concrete. Once again the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. I look forward to him returning to redo my front steps with granite risers. I highly recommend Alex and AK Pavers. Customers are guaranteed a quality job. Alex reputation proceeds him as he is in high demand through out the tri State area. As I go forward, I will not be using any other contractor. Customers will experience no regrets working with AK Pavers. They far surpass any contractor in the industry not only because of the work but more importantly, the man who stands behind the work.

Pavers in the driveway and new steps
I had my driveway and steps done by Alex and I could not have been more happier with the job done. His men were very knowledgeable about what they were doing. I would definitely recommend AK Pavers for any job, in fact he is going to do another job for me.

We had a major project regarding the removal of our deck a couple of years ago. Alex and associates provided an excellent job, were punctual, professional, flexible, reliable and very honest. I have since called Alex to return for another project, we truly value his expertise. I have recently recommended him to my 2 other neighbors because I know they will be quite satisfied with the quality of his work.

Excellent Work! High quality, fast and very reasonable. I would definitely recommend AK Paving to anyone looking for a quality job at a great price.
John Ganis
I had a fantastic experience working with Alex and the AKPAVING crew. First I hired them to build a paved staircase and 22x16 patio on a terraced plot of land in my hilly backyard. They worked wonders, leveling the land and installing the whole thing in three days. Alex always showed up on time, always answered calls and questions, fixed the couple of minor issues I had without trying to talk me out of it, and made me feel completely safe. So many contractors I worked with argue every point before you have to finally beat them into concession. Alex's crew was so professional that I hardly had any issues, and the ones I had were immediately remedied.
I then hired Alex to resurface a retaining wall. Again, exactly same level of professionalism, timeliness, and responsiveness. Absolutely no complaints.
I recommend this company without reservation!
David Thomas
AK Paving is a reliable company with talented masons. I recently had AK do a paver driveway, patio and 2 paths and I am 100% satisfied. The owner designed the layout and helped us choose the pavers. AK started the job and came back every day until it was completely finished.

Project: Install Concrete Driveways & Floors
Comments: After meeting with several contractors I decided to hire AK Paving based on presentation, knowledge / grasp of job needed to be done and list of past clients with positive / satisfactory results. Alex and his crew were reliable in every way, very professional, helpful and friendly. They started the day early, at the end of each work day left the work area neat, went out of their way to ensure the job was done "the correct way." The scope of work AK Paving did entailed waterproofing foundation, breaking concrete and brick walkway front and back of the house, then rebuilding brand new -- paved, etc. When done, the entire job came out so beautiful and the area was left completely cleaned. We have received many compliments from our neighbors. Without hesitation I would recommend Alex / AK Paving and am confident others will be as happy as I am.

Comments: Excellent experience with AK Paving and Alex and his crew. Returned all phone calls and emails promptly; showed up when he said he would; completed job 1 day before schedule and was a true gentlemen. One more thing: even repaired some Belgium blocks on my driveway which were not part of the job and did not charge me. Highly recommend them.

Alex did a great job on expanding our patio-it is hard to tell what is new and what is the old part. They worked quickly, did extra pointing to make it look better and cleaned up well afterward. I would definitely use them again.

I couldn't have imagined how beautiful the work created by Alex and his team would be! Alex guided me on design which proved to be perfect.
He is knowledgeable about color and texture and we selected the best possible stones for the look of my home. On top of their expertise, they are skilled craftsmen and executed the design flawlessly. Working all day, each day until the job was finished; no skipping a day to do other jobs. I was delighted each day i returned home to see the progress and dedication. I am highly recommending AK Paving to anyone who seek quality and professionalism.
