Cato Paving is redoing the street corners in my Fremont neighborhood for wheelchairs. While still under construction, they left a huge hole between the street curb and sidewalk that a person or animal (i.e., dog on leash) could have easily stumbled into and critically injured themselves. I pointed it out to the crew the day after I saw it and they fixed it by the time I got home. The work they are doing looks good but the negligence is very concerning. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Catos paving for our church parking lots in San Jose. The whole process was smooth and things were completed on time and according to schedule. They went above and beyond to make sure our requests were met. I want to give a special thanks to Jesse for his thorough communication and willingness to accommodate us. Our 30+ year old lots are now brand new! If you're looking to re-pave or re-seal your lots, don't hesitate to reach out to Catos! Thanks again to everyone at Catos for a job well done read more

I am a commercial property manager in the Northbay and we hire Cato's Paving to handle all of our parking lot paving jobs. Ruben is our estimator and he is always available and responsive when giving us a price. He offers options and very detailed descriptions with maps of what each project requires. I can honestly say that Cato's Paving has the best customer service out of any of my vendors. They are professional, communicate clearly and often, they handle closing off the portions of the parking lot that they will be working on ahead of time with notices and barricades. They can do work on the weekends if you need it. We manage many commercial properties and it's such a relief not to have to worry or micromanage Cato's Paving. They show up on time, they do what they say they are going to do and that is very valuable to us. read more

14 years ago I installed an asphalt driveway at my house. After all this time I've never maintained it and my driveway lost it's nice black color and developed a few minor cracks. It was time to fix the driveway before I needed more costly repairs. After checking online for highly rated companies, I got a few quotes for filling the cracks and sealing the driveway. The 3 companies I called were all pretty close in price and I decided to go with Cato's. The team arrived on time and went straight to work. They thoroughly cleaned the area that needed filling and sealing and quickly got the job done. The sealant was applied carefully and there were no signs of splatter or messy footprints. I'd highly recommend Cato's and would definitely call on them again. read more

We had contacted Cato's for a job we needed done they sent Robby to come do estimate he spoke with us for about 5 minutes saying he would look around so he can do estimate but left right after our conversation and never heard back from Robby or this company. read more

Caitos did a great job on repairing our warehouse driveway. They were reliable in scheduling, responding, cleaning up after themselves, sensitive to neighbors, and did a great job. Will definitely use them again! read more

We are so happy with the professionalism and skill of Cato's Paving. Ruben was friendly and helpful from the first call through to job completion. They went above and beyond to work in conjunction with our other contractors on our construction project. Our finished, newly graded and paved, driveway looks fantastic! Thank you Cato's! read more

I contacted Cato's Paving about filling and sealing some large gaps in our residential driveway. Although Cato's only services commercial properties, the individual I spoke with recommended products a handyman could apply to accomplish the job at a reasonable price. Greatly appreciated advice! read more

Our group of 6 neighbors share common easement/driveway areas totaling 8,200 sq. ft. Several of our asphalt areas were in need of tree root incursion repairs and then resealing of the entire 8,200 sq. ft. common and driveway areas. After contacting 5 companies for estimates, we decided to go with Cato's Paving. Here are some of our reasons and post work comments: 1. Our estimator Juan Delgadillo was extremely professional through all aspects of the bidding and project oversight from day 1 of our contact. Phone calls and texts were returned without delays on any matter or questions that were raised. Juan met with all 6 neighbors and did an onsite walk through explanation of the project and Q&A with all of our neighbors. 2. Cato's bid was competitive and detailed. One of the key reasons we decided to go with Cato's was their more comprehensive bid that included additional details that other bids did not. 3. Cato's back office support included separate invoicing for all 6 neighbors detailing separate work for both private and common areas. 4. Our entire project was done in 2 work days with the work beginning and finishing ahead of time. 5. The work crews were well staffed, professional, and the clean up could not have been better. We have been pleased from start to finish on our project. Doug L read more

We been using them now for two years now for our Seal Coat, Paving repair and stripe service they always done an Excellent job , great customer service. All the few projects that they did for turned out better. 1/3 of the parking lot about 160000/SF done in two days with Seal Coat the first day then re-stripe the second day. Ricky the manager that was in charge of the stripe team done amazing job on the numbers. Juan the estimator is a nice guy too, will do business again. 3.0 Estimate was a fair and honest price read more

I would rate this company as extremely poor. We called and emailed this company to come out and give us a quote to stripe our warehouse floor and the dock lanes on January 15th. We received an response on January 16th stating they would send out their estimator as early as the same day. On January 26 I reached back out to Stella at Cato's and inquired on when we should expect the proposal. I was then informed by our on site manager that no one had shown up. Stella stated that she would send an email to Jesse (their estimator). On January 31st I emailed Stella again asking if Jesse was able to get out to our site and prepare the proposal. Stella responded stating that she would follow up with Jesse that day and would get back to my ASAP. On February 1st I emailed Stella regarding the all the details for our project as we still had not hear from Jesse. On February 7th I emailed Stella stating that it appears that Cato's Paving obviously does not want our business. Advising that I have emailed 9 times in the past 3 weeks and the estimator has yet to arrive. Stella responded with, "I apologize for the delay. In speaking with our estimator, we will not be able to provide a proposal for this project." This is after 3 weeks!!! This is not a way to do business! read more

Cato's filled cracks and put down a Seal Coat on our driveway, they also striped on a basketball key. Ricky cares very much about doing a good job and stands behind his work. If you want to work with someone of character, ask for Ricky. read more

I found Cato's Paving through an ad on Craigslist (kind of sus I know, but hear me out). I will now only use them for my repaving/asphalt needs. I called them on a Monday and I met the estimator Ruben the very next day. He measured out the areas I wanted repaved and was very, very patient to all my questions and concerns. I was very impressed by 1. the level of professionalism, 2. communication I had with Ruben and 3. the very competitive quote I had received. The job is a go with Cato's. I was also impressed by Ruben's knowledge of the ADA regulations for parking lots by explaining to me what the process would be during repaving and the re-striping for the stalls and ADA stall. When I questioned other estimators from different companies on how they would re-stripe the parking lot per ADA regulations, I got a answer that didn't even pertain to my original question. I signed the contract and was scheduled the next week for work to begin. The work crew showed up around 6AM, unloaded all their equipment, began tearing out the old asphalt around 6:45AM and finished everything at around 2:30PM. These guys were fast and efficient! They were constantly using laser levels and checked the elevations/slope while paving to make sure the job was done correctly once. When the work crew was done with the parking lot, I was even more impressed with their cleanup process of their equipment before it was loaded back on to the flat bed trailers and clean up of the work area. If you were like me, hopelessly looking for a asphalt/repaving company that would give you professionalism, honesty, competitiveness, and not getting ripped off, look no further. My go-to now is Cato's. read more

Excellent job , great customer service. The job turned out better then I could imagine. Apartment building parking lot got it done in 1 day Estimate was a fair and honest price read more

If you are considering paving or doing any residential asphalt repair or seal, I recommend talking with with Cato's Paving. Their knowledge of materials depending on your project is pretty extensive. The level of communication was perfect, the crews work hard and treat the road project as if it was their own. From our initial consultation to replace existing asphalt, sealing the roads, painting the curbs, adding speed bumps and replacing the street signs with new ones... Cato's Paving were a pleasure to work with. After a couple of quotes from others,Catos' offered valuable observations that really improved our plan and ended up saving us money from others. We wanted to level up the community drive experience, it came out looking like a million bucks. The crew even re-graded some of the roads for better drainage to make the new road last longer; we'd use Cato's Paving again in a heartbeat. To sum it up... Cato's are honest in assessment, fair in pricing options, and beyond exceptional in execution! Timothy Krukiel President Valencia at Hacienda Homeowner's Association read more

We recently hire Cato's to do a complete Asphalt replacement and re-strip the curbs and parking lot at the townhome complex. Alfonso and Ricky and their team did a great job. They arrived on time and finished everything without delay. Ricky even came on Sunday to retouch the curb painting. The whole place looks a lot better. Thank you. Alfonso and Ricky, Cato's Team. Good job read more

I live on a non- county maintained road that has twenty homes on it. Over the years the road became riddled with deep potholes that needed to be repaired. After reaching out to a number of paving contractors who were booked, didn't want to work with such a large group, only wanted to do a shallow fill with Cal Trans Slurry overlay or didn't offer the standard, high quality asphalt repair we desired, I worried that we would not get this project off the ground. After reaching out to our local services district (TCSD) I was given Cato's number and I was impressed by the quick response and attention to detail from everyone I spoke with at the company. Robby, the estimator, came to Marin to walk the road and determine which areas needed immediate attention. He quickly sent the estimate and was very clear about what would be required regarding the work. He was also very responsive when questions arose. On the day of the project the crew was ready to go on time and finished ahead of schedule. Rafael was the foreman and the crew went way beyond what we expected. The repairs are excellent and the homeowners are very happy with the results. read more

Ricky Flores and Alex Ollarzabal did a great job constructing a ADA ramp and concrete repair at my business. Definitely recommend them!

Alfonso and his team showed up exactly when they said they would, got the job done quickly and on time. Looks great, we're very happy with the results. I highly recommend Alfonso and his company. read more

I found an ad for Catos Paving on Craigslist. After checking out their website and meeting with their estimator, we decided to hire them to remove our existing driveway and install a new asphalt driveway. The crew was EXCELLENT. They showed up right on time and ready to work. They had several different work trucks and equipment immediately available so the work never stalled. In the first day, they removed all of the old driveway and poured a new concrete edge. The second day they took great care in leveling out our weird slopped driveway using lasers and such and then prepared it for the hot asphalt delivery. The work was SO clean and professional. I would totally recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Catos Paving! We LOVE our new driveway!! read more

We were in the middle of an ADA lawsuit and was so overwhelmed with everything in the midst of the pandemic. The first contractor we hired claim to have fixed everything, but we failed the inspection. We then hired Ricardo to help us lay down the concrete on our property so it would be ADA compliant. I couldn't be happier with results and is so happy to say, we passed the inspection! He was so honest, respectful, and responsible. I would definitely hire him for future projects! read more

My dad was looking for a good company that could re-do his entire driveway and the front office parking area. We found Cato's Paving on Yelp so we decided to reach out to them and get a quote. Cato's was super fast on getting back to us and on proving us with a quote. They provided a reasonable price so we decided to go with Cato's. They were able to schedule us in right away to get the work done. It took them only a few days to complete the entire job. All I can say is that this company has great customer service, they are true professional and they do amazing work! I would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

Ricky and Monica are top notch!! They is very responsive, professional and extremely pleasant to work with. They take great pride in their work and leave you with no surprises. VERY competetive as well! I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone! read more

We are so grateful to have found Cato's Paving ! If you are looking for an exceptional company with integrity to work with--where customer service and satisfaction are top priorities--we would highly recommend Cato's Paving. We had a major, messy asphalt sealant problem on our property, and called several Bay Area companies.Since we are residential, and not a business, we were turned down for service. Luckily in our search, we just happen to email Cato's--explaining our situation. And within a few hours, we received their phone call. Cato's rapid response to inquiries was impressive. Ricky Flores was our contact person. He is very professional, friendly, and reassuring--offering sound advice and several reasonable procedural options. All the servicemen working at our home were polite, thorough, and promptly positively responded to any questions, suggestions, and concerns we had. Our main serviceperson was Adrien, who was also wonderful to work with. Everyone was easy to converse with, and Ricky made sure all customer requests were followed. We really appreciated the comprehensive planning, coordination, and work ethic of this team! It's truly refreshing to work with Cato's Paving. We have found them to be a trust-worthy company with very high standards,...and we look forward to having them return later this year to properly re-seal our asphalt areas. You can really count on Cato's for excellent work ! read more

We were looking for a company to stripe the parking lot for our business, and add painted No Parking signs. I found Cato's with a local search. Ricky Flores was the Estimator that reached out to me. He was so friendly and responsive. He was able to let me know a rough cost for my job based on some basic information I had. After that, he came out and physically looked at the job to give me a more accurate quote, which did not happen to vary from his initial one, and was lower than the competitors quote I had already received. Although we ended up deciding to not stripe our lot after all, I would highly recommend Cato's, and Ricky, based on just his customer service skills & responsiveness alone! It speaks volumes! I know who I will be having paint our lot if we ever decide to go that route! Thanks Ricky! read more

Excellent quality work! Contacted Alfonso @ Cato's Paving and he came out himself to give the quote. Very polite and professional!

After calling several paving companies and never receiving a call back, I was happily surprised by Cato's Paving. I called to have our home driveway repaired and re-sealed. In 10 minutes, I received a call back from Ricky. Twenty minutes later, he was in my driveway to give me an estimate. Not only was he informative about the process, he was enthusiastic about getting the job done. As soon as the weather improves, I will post some before and after photos and give an update on the process. read more

We hired Cato's to resurface and restripe our commercial building parking lot. Price was very affordable, and they did a fantastic job and were very professional and polite. It did not matter whom we spoke to as the entire crew was very respectful. Six months after the job was completed, we noticed a small hump pushing up on the asphalt. We contacted Cato's and spoke to the estimator, Juan. He was very professional and said not to worry that he would come out the same day! Wow! That does not happen very often. Juan came out as promised and assessed the problem and explained that it is probably some small vegetation attempting to push its way through the asphalt. Juan reassured us that he would have his crew repair the damaged within 2 weeks (since they were very busy). Within a week his crew came and repaired the hump and did a fantastic job! Again, very professional and did an awesome job. Juan was absolutely correct that the causation of the problem were small vegetations. Thank you to you and your crew, Juan!!! We very much appreciate the great work. read more

Ricky and his crew did an excellent job on our residential project. Thank you, Ricky!

Cato's Paving did a great job replacing asphalt, sealing and striping the parking lot and driveways of our apartment complex. Ricky was great to work with. He was very patient giving us several options for our project and explaining everything. We needed to inconvenience our tenants as little as possible and Ricky did a great job communicating with our manager and getting the job done in a timely manner. We would definitely use Cato's again. read more

Last week we had Cato's Paving repaving our whole church parking lot and I couldn't be happier. First Alfonso was knowledgeable and he was able to solve all our problems and provide professional advices. He even solved our drainage problem by creating a huge drainage system for us. It was a big job and I was surprised how Alfonso could handled it at ease. Alex's crew was phenomenal. During ground digging several problems arised due to poor underground piping and he was able to give me the best advice on how to correct them and solve the problem right away. Rapha came and inspected the progress from time to time and Alfonso came to address issue in a timely fashion upon request. Everyone in his crew were courteous and experience in the trade. I especially wanted to recommend Ricky Flores who done my parking lot striping and signs. Due to the irregular shape of our parking lot, it was extremely hard to decide how to maximize the parking spaces. Ricky spent time together with me to analyze the layout and came up with the best solution. Now my parking lot had increased spaces and it is easy to park without too much turning. When I decided to add 12 more concrete wheel stops and 2 more signs with pole. He picked them up and completed the job exactly the way I wanted. I highly recommend him without reservation if you are thinking about what company to hire to do your asphalt' paving job. I will definitely refer Cato's Paving to our friends and neighbors as my gratitude for their job well done! Keep up the good work Cato's Paving ! Bravo!!! read more
