Customers say: Quality work

"Eric Valdovinos Concrete is top notch. We have been looking for professional concrete contractors for a year and have been unsuccessful, until we heard from Eric. He came out and gave a quote which was competitive with other contractors. When we signed, He had everything planned and then executed flawlessly. His demolition guys, Tomas and Cergio took out existing sidewalks without damaging any adjacent work. For our driveway extension, Mario and Eric excavated an existing dirt weed garden. This was the most difficult part of the project. The team Juan, Damian, Cergio and Tomas set up the forms, grading and rebar, tied with wire. For the driveway extension, rebar was put into the existing driveway and extension was 6 inches thick. Finally, the icing on the cake - the pouring and finishing of the concrete to match existing work, the expansion joints were perfect and matched existing work. Eric, Juan, Jose, Hugo, Tomas, Damian and Pedro. Everything blended beautifully. I Highly recommend this team for any concrete work you will need, these guys are pros! They even improvised in our back yard to bring back a pathway that was demolished with existing concrete blocks! Ask Eric for the address and you can see for yourself his quality,"

"Elite Paving is great! I am very pleased with their work. Our driveway is about 100 feet long and a stretch about 50 feet long was erupting from roots underneath, causing major turbulence every time we drove over it. We got estimates from a few firms and decided on Elite because they seemed professional and experienced, and their estimate was reasonable (other estimates were up to three times higher). I’m glad we did. They did everything in a timely, responsive way, with no unforeseen add-ons, and our driveway is now in excellent shape. I really need to single out Brandon for praise. He was incredibly responsive and devoted. He explained everything in advance in an understandable way. He always responded quickly to my texts, even when I made clear no quick response was necessary. And he was clearly committed to doing a good job, even showing up on a weekend (with no extra charge) to manually speed up the drying process when some areas in the shade were taking longer than expected to dry. I was really impressed and pleased."

"Jeff was very responsive, we called one evening and he was there at 8 AM the next morning for a free estimate. We had a lot of questions about the process and he had responses that were right for us. We asked for and got references and called them and also went to see one of the driveways that he had completed previously. Our driveway is on a steep hill in the forest and is about 2/10th of a mile long. It had a lot of cracks that needed filled and a lot of moss that needed to be scrubbed off by hand. Plus we wanted an entire new top coat so it was not an easy job. The entire team was prompt and professional and did a great job. They completed the job in one day and in the end we have a driveway that looks brand new. I am sure we will call Jeff again in a few years if it needs to have a new top coat."

"Alfredo and his crew were great. We had him install a new walk way next to the house. They did excellent work, were on time and on budget. Alfredo made a couple of excellent suggestions to improve the project. We are very happy with the result and we recommend them."

"This was basically a demolition project. I had to have a 75 year old concrete circular retaining wall buried in the center of my asphalt driveway that had to be removed so that we could plant an oak tree. The wall was approximately 25 feet in circumference, 4 feet high and the concrete at least 3 inches thick. The bottom foot and half of the wall was covered with earth that had to be dug out by hand. Jose accomplished this extremely difficult job in a day and a half working right along side his helpers. He was able break up and haul away the concrete and did a great job cleaning up the site. He is courteous, professional and his rates are extremely fair. I would definitely recommend him for any job."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.

The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.
