Replace driveway

The crew expended considerable efforts to prepare good bed for paving. The paved surface was well laid and hand formed curbing well formed to accommodate North Vancouver heavy rainfall. Details like joints between pavement and house are well done. The crew took care to do minimal disruption to yard areas and left the site in excellent condition.

Replaced the old concrete driveway

We wanted to replace the old concrete driveway at our home in Tsawwassen which had become cracked and had heaved over time. It is a large driveway with a circular turnaround. We selected Bortolo & Sons after talking to several contractors and worked with Lui Rinaldo to negotiate the contract. After some delays due to rainy weather, our driveway is now finished (March 3 2016) and looks great. The new driveway is exposed aggregate with a tooled design. I would recommend Bortolo & Sons if you are looking for a high quality job.

It was a pleasure working with such a reasonable client. We were able to survive the paper boy walking on the newly placed concrete while we were trying to finish the driveway. Bortolo and Sons is pleased to know you are happy with the final outcome of your exposed aggregate driveway.

Garden walkway, retaining wall and stone patio

Lui gave us a detailed estimate. He also gave suggestion as to how to incorporate the two steps that go down to the paving stone patio. As a result the patio area becomes very pleasant and open, no longer boxed in. On top of that he and his crew went beyond what was in the plan to add a concrete planter along the walkway. That extra planter has enhance the look of the walkway greatly. The quality of the work is excellent and the crews were great. The job was completed on schedule, and the yard was cleaned up.

We are glad to hear that you were happy with us installing the raised planter for you at no extra cost. We always strive to exceed our customers expectations. My crew enjoyed working for such a kind & caring client even though the access to back yard was limited when it came to the removal & disposal phase of your project.

Driveway Paving

Bertolo & Sons removed old asphalt from a very large ( fits up to 9 cars ) damaged driveway and replaced with new. Excellent work, very nice edges. Excellent clean-up. Very happy with our choice of company. Pricey, but would highly recommend for a top notch job.

Thank you for your kind words, We are glad you feel that your money was well spent even though our price was on the high side of the spectrum. Dependent on which of our competitors submitted a quote on your project, will determine where Bortolo and Sons pricing will rate, high or low. We usually end up being in the middle of the pricing spectrum. The price always includes using superior materials and the latest paving & concrete methods.

rear driveway asphalt paving

During this busy construction boom; it is hard to find a good contractor that will do what they promised. Lui from Bortolo & Sons did exactly that. He came out and gave me a competitive quote. Once I decided to go with this company, Lui kept me informed as to the start date. His crew came out and worked on my driveway on the day Lui promised and right on time. His crew was very friendly and professional; the driveway was completed in a day. The job site was cleaned up and they gave me a few very helpful pitfalls to avoid. My driveway looks great and all the water drains away properly. Great Job!!

Thank you for your review, and your time spent highlighting what is was like for you as a client in dealing with our company, from start to finish of your project.
Bortolo and Sons prides itself on keeping the lines of communication open with the client before, during, and after the construction process. As promised, we ensured that your newly constructed asphalt driveway, would direct rainfall or water into existing drainage catch basin.

Stress Free Renovation

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I'd like to thank Lui & Danny Rinaldo for giving us a wonderful experience. It's very stressful for people to undertake the extensive home renovations that we did, but Danny and Lui, and their crews, gave us a lot of confidence that the results would be great. And, they were! And, where there were problems, and there always are, they were terrific at working things out with us. This is one of the important marks of a great company. As part of this, I'd like to say that their concrete sub-contractor, Mike Allen, and his sons, Curt & Nick, did an awesome job on all the concrete work (5 parts). This turned out particularly well. And your demolition and paving crew went above & beyond in making sure we we happy with the final results. So well done Bortolo.

Irrespective of price, Bortolo was the frontrunner from the get go. Your site, membership in the BBB, length of time in business and good reviews have gone a long way to offsetting any cheaper quotes that I might have received. Cheers!

Thank you for your time spent on writing such a great review. It was so easy to work on your multi surface project because you new exactly what you required and your drawings made it that much easier for my crews to build exactly what you expected. It is always nice to hear that all of Bortolo and Sons crews were respectful to you as a client, and problem solvers. We understood how important this exterior yard hardscape renovation was for you and your wife, due to the upcoming marriage of your child. You wanted everything to be perfect for the quests of the wedding. It was good to hear that the exposed aggregate rear patio/front staircase, regular smooth finished concrete carport pad, drainage work, and asphalt driveway all met your final expectations.

driveway

Our driveway was the last thing we needed to do after putting a new foundation under our house. I called a few different companies before landing here. The whole process was very straight-forward. Very clear and simple. At this point in the reno I was done with it and just wanted a no hassle finish. These guys totally provided it. Fast, conscientious, on budget, professional work and great look to the finished driveway. It was a small driveway and project but in no way did I ever feel it was less of a priority than anything else. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your review, and the time spent explaining what is was like dealing with Bortolo and Sons. We are extremely pleased to know the your colored exposed aggregate concrete pad that we constructed, met your expectations, and the installation of a riser to your existing collector drainage sump was not a big deal due to you informing us of its existence, and its location under a small amount of soil.

Paving driveway

Bortolo & Sons were referred to us by a neighbour who also had their driveway paved and concrete work done. We were able to see their work first hand and were suitably impressed. Shortly after providing a quote and our agreement to proceed, Lui called and confirmed they would be paving the following morning. They were here at 8:00am and promptly started to dig out our driveway. Everything was done as per the quote and finished by 1:00pm. Professional and well equipped, they did a superb job. We are very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. they definitely know their business!

Driveway Paving

We had a great experience with Bortolo and Sons and will definitely recommend them. The project was finished in the scheduled time which was very important since we had an event and needed the driveway to be finished. Lui and his crew were very helpful and answered all questions that we had. It was nice to have one company take care of the concrete carport and asphalt since they coordinated everything to ensure both parts of the project were done on time. The driveway and concrete carport look great!
