Holy Smokes! That’s a lot of snow – Blizzard of 2026

Stay safe out there guys – Providence County and Woonsocket Area Rhode Island just broke the snowfall totals for the legendary blizzard of ’78… this is crazy.
Anytime snow has ever been mentioned in my entire life, my father’s life, and literally anyone I’ve ever met, the resulting praise that hovers over the legendary blizzard of ’78 has not been topped until TODAY. Crazy.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we have the internet, social media, and news outlets that warn us of impending doom hours and days before hand. There’s no reason anyone should ever come to harm from a simple snow storm, but none-the-less… stay safe out there guys. We love our neighbors!
Survive the white out, and see ya’ll in the spring!

Always Improving! Masterson Paving

Progress! Progress! Progress!

At Masterson Paving 2025 we are making a HARD PUSH to forward our online presence to match our physical presence in the community!

Let’s face it – as a small business, our work GREATLY outdoes our online presence. We’ve kept our nose to the grindstone to keep a small startup company producing outstanding quality driveways, at the expense of a good online presence! Gone are the days when local small businesses simply take out an advertisement in the newspaper, purchase a billboard slot, or even pay for a timed ad’ on the local radio station to attract new customers. Now, thanks to the rise of the internet and social media, local service businesses must seriously adapt or sink. Luckily, we at Masterson Paving, not only will do whatever it takes to make your driveway the best it can be, we are also now striving for complete and total world-wide-web domination! *cue evil laughter cut*

Lets make 2025 the year YOUR FAVORITE local driveway paving company becomes the favorite of the internet as well! Our yard signs are great; we all love them. Word of mouth is excellent advertisement as well, as our reviews simply speak for themselves – however, the internet needs to know that there is a simple, easy, awesome solution to any driveway problem you might have if you live in MA, RI, or even CT. To tackle this goal, we will be expanding our blogging updates via wordpress and linked in Google maps postings, as well as the usual Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and youtube shorts additions. Should we sign up for X formerly Twitter?

We have a clear goal – to let the internet know exactly what’s happening in reality right next door to our neighbors. Driveway paving is something we’re not only good at, but possibly the best in New England… online marketing and advertising? Not yet. But we will be!

What can you look forward to? Well, to start, fun and interactive short videos will be released to keep up with our paving team’s speed coming soon!

Feel free to let me know what you all are thinking in the comment section:

David Gaboury – owner Masterson Paving

Paving is Our Passion

Paving is our Passion

Its currently 1:09am EST and my 36yo blue-collar behind woke up from a dead sleep because, much like a little kid awaiting Christmas morning, I cant wait to wake up and pave! Now, dont get me wrong, Im physically and mentalltyexhausted, but the 6 year old David Gaboury beating from inside my chest is one hundred and ten percent ready to rebuild all of new england one blacktop asphalt driveway at a time. Brick by brick? Try hot stone by stone!

Paving is our passion; and Im not the only one who feels this way! At Masterson Paving, we only allow members of our team to onboard if they share the same uncommon elation for asphalt. Your home is very special to you – and your driveway is a HUGE part of it! Now there are certainly larger paving companies, there are certainly companies who will charge you less and who will charge you more, but I can guarantee you this – not a single one will CARE MORE about your home’s driveway than me and my team at Masterson Paving.Its simple really! I am living the American Dream. Every day I wake up with what I feel is a God-given purpose and direction, and in paving driveways, im doing exactly what the Good Lord Himself wills me to be doing. Now, would you want anyone else designing your driveway for you? I wouldn’t! Our hearts and souls are poured out into every stroke of the shovel, every step of the way because we believe God called us into the paving business. So take advantage of our faith for the good of your home!We love paving driveways. There are hundreds, thousands of paving companies in America, and each one with dozens if not hundreds of crew members – all of which are simply punching a time clock to make a living. If you arent doing what you absolutely love, are you really even living?? Quit paving. Go make croissants at your local bakery. Become a bird watcher. Go sell realestate. Do what your heart desires… but for the love of God, let the ones who desperately enjoy every knuckle-busting minute of laying down hot asphalt, and working it into driveway artwork, do what we do best on YOUR home! Leave the baking for the bakers, and the paving for the pavers – Masterson Paving.

Ill leave you all with this – a few verses from who just may be the happiest man alive in the world today, living his best life, enjoying every minute doing what he feels God wills him to be doing: asphalt driveway paving.

When the time comes to renew your driveway, who are you going to call?

I am David Gaboury of Masterson Paving, and I believe your choice is simple.

A Driveway Paving Company vs. An Asphalt Paving Company

Why choosing the right driveway company for your home makes all the difference.


Why Choosing a Specialized Driveway Paving Company Makes All the Difference

When it comes to paving your driveway, you might be tempted to go with any asphalt paving company. After all, asphalt is asphalt, right? However, there’s a significant difference between hiring a company that specializes in driveway paving, like Masterson Paving, and one that handles asphalt paving as just one of many services. Think of it as the difference between shopping at Walmart for a shirt versus going to a tailor. Let’s dive into why opting for a specialized company can make all the difference for your home.

Expertise Matters: Driveway Specialists vs. General Asphalt Paving

Masterson Paving: The Driveway Experts

At Masterson Paving, driveway paving is not just a service we offer—it’s our specialty. Our team is deeply familiar with the nuances of residential driveways, from the importance of proper grading to the need for precision in installation. This specialization means we’re equipped to handle the unique challenges that residential driveways present, ensuring a finish that enhances your home’s curb appeal and stands the test of time.

Competitors: General Asphalt Paving Companies

On the other hand, competitors who offer asphalt paving as one of many services might lack the focused expertise needed for residential driveways. Their experience might be more geared towards larger commercial projects or general paving, which can result in a less tailored approach to your driveway. While they might be adept at asphalt work, they might not fully grasp the specific requirements for residential paving, which can impact the final result.

Attention to Detail: A Matter of Professionalism

Masterson Paving: Courteous and Comprehensive

One of the hallmarks of a specialized company like Masterson Paving is our commitment to maintaining the integrity and appearance of your entire property. We understand that driveway paving isn’t just about laying asphalt; it’s about ensuring that the job is done neatly and respectfully, from start to finish. We take great care to protect your landscaping and surrounding areas, minimizing disruption and leaving your property as we found it—if not better.

Competitors: Potential for Oversights

In contrast, companies that don’t focus specifically on driveway paving might not have the same level of attention to detail. They may not be as familiar with the specific requirements of residential properties, potentially leading to a less thorough job. Issues such as inadequate protection of landscaping, careless handling of materials, or lack of respect for the overall property can arise, resulting in a finish that doesn’t meet the high standards you expect.

Why Choose Masterson Paving?

  1. Specialized Knowledge: We bring in-depth knowledge and experience specific to driveway paving.
  2. Quality Workmanship: Our focus on driveways means we’re meticulous about every detail, ensuring a high-quality finish.
  3. Respect for Your Property: We prioritize protecting your landscape and property, leaving your home in pristine condition.

Choosing Masterson Paving means investing in a company that values precision, professionalism, and respect for your property. Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all approach when you can have a dedicated team that understands the unique needs of residential driveway paving. Just like you wouldn’t go to Walmart for a tailored shirt, don’t settle for a general paving company when you need specialized driveway expertise.

For a driveway that stands out and lasts, trust the experts at Masterson Paving. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help transform your driveway into a standout feature of your home.
