"This is an update with photos that I did not have yesterday when I posted the review. I want folks to see the wonderful job David Wimbs and D&J Construction did. Everything went well. Jobs were done last fall in 2017 and last month in March 2018. David Wimbs is a very hard worker and pays attention to detail. He filed for permits and got inspections done by city before and after work was complete. He even drew the design by what I told him I'd like to have to get permits and showing them the plan. His employees very polite and worked well also. On Shady Lane had a 4 car (minimum) double wide driveway done, a mini patio, walkways leading to each for $6300. which was done in March 2018. Last fall D & J did another on Windwood Cul De Sac another 4 car (minimum) double wide driveway, larger patio, mini sit down area next to driveway and house for close to $7000. Yes I have what city calls two front yards because my property is on corner of one street and a second street. Every dollar I paid D & J construction was worth every penny and than some. David kept me apprised as he complete various things and made sure to keep me in the loop. Very professional, very business like, very polite. I would highly recommend this company and its owner if they want quality work done. Contract was pay half up front when job started and balance on day of completion and city inspected."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.

Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.
