We're your neighbours — and we take driveways personally.
Drivewave is a family-owned business born and raised in the National Capital Region. We started with one mission: bring honest, size-based pricing and genuine workmanship to the homeowners on our own streets. No upsells. No surprises. Just a driveway you'll be proud of — done right the first time.
We got tired of watching our street fall apart.
It started with a crumbling driveway on a quiet street in Aylmer — and a contractor's quote that felt more like a shakedown than a service.
The Bouchard family had watched the same pattern repeat itself across the neighbourhood: a crack gets ignored for a season, water gets in, frost pries it open all winter, and by spring what was a $300 repair is now a $6,000 tear-out. Worse, when homeowners called for help, they were met with confusing line-item quotes, pushy upsells, and crews that treated the job like just another number.
So in 2017, they built Drivewave from the ground up around a different idea: one fair price based on driveway size, one crew, one visit — and the kind of care you'd put into your own home. Every job we do is in a neighbourhood we live and drive through ourselves. That's not a slogan — it's the reason we care about getting it right.
Four things we never compromise on.
These aren't values we wrote for a website. They're the reasons homeowners in Gatineau and Ottawa call us back season after season.
Honest, size-based pricing
One price based on your driveway's square footage — about $0.70/sq ft. No surprise add-ons, no separate charges for crack filling or stain removal. You know the number before we start.
We show up on time
We give you a real arrival window and we honour it. Your day matters. We don't block your driveway all morning and show up at 4pm. Most jobs are wrapped up in a single visit, start to finish.
We treat your home like our own
We clean up our mess, protect your lawn edges, and leave the property looking better than we found it. This isn't a saying — it's the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Local & accountable
We live and work in the National Capital Region. You can knock on our door. When you call (438) 763-7532, a real local person answers — not a call centre. That accountability keeps us sharp.
Eight years of getting it right.
Numbers are easy to put on a page — these ones come from real driveways, real homeowners, and real reviews across Gatineau and Ottawa.
"They showed up exactly when they said they would, did everything in one afternoon, and the driveway looked better than when it was new. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighbourhood."— Real homeowners, right across the National Capital Region.
From crumbling to sealed — in a single day.
A real transformation from one of our jobs in the National Capital Region. Every driveway we leave behind is one we'd be proud to pull into ourselves.
Before
After
We stand behind everything we do.
Choosing a contractor you can trust shouldn't be hard. Here's exactly what we promise — in plain language, with no fine print.
Free, no-obligation quotes
We come to you, measure your driveway in person, and give you a clear price — no pressure, no pitch. If you don't like the number, you don't owe us a thing. Quotes are always free.
Satisfaction guarantee
If something isn't right, we come back and make it right. Period. We've built our reputation on word-of-mouth across Gatineau and Ottawa — and we intend to keep it.
Fully licensed & insured
We carry full liability insurance on every job, every time. Your home is protected. You can ask to see our insurance certificate before we begin — we expect it and we'll hand it over without hesitation.
Flexible scheduling
We run Monday to Friday 7–7 and Saturdays 8–5 so we can work around your schedule — not the other way around. Most homeowners have their driveway done before they need it again.
Pay however you like
We accept Apple Pay, credit card, e-transfer, and cash. Payment happens after the job is done and you're happy with the results — right at your door, no chasing invoices.
A real local team
We're not a franchise, and we don't subcontract to strangers. The crew that shows up at your door are Drivewave people — trained, accountable, and proud of the work they leave behind.
Let's start with a free look at your driveway.
No pressure, no obligation — just an honest, on-site assessment and a clear price you can count on. We're booking 1–2 weeks out this season, so grab your spot now.
