My name is Omar Vela, owner of VP Concrete Solutions. I started this business from the ground up with one goal in mind — to provide honest, high-quality concrete work that people can trust. Growing up around the concrete industry through my family, I learned early on the importance of hard work, dedication, and doing every job the right way the first time.\n\nConcrete is more than just work to me — it is something I take pride in every single day. With years of hands-on experience in both residential and commercial concrete projects, I understand how important quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction truly are. From small projects to large jobs, I treat every project with the same level of care and professionalism.\n\nAt VP Concrete Solutions, we believe in honest work, fair pricing, and building strong relationships with our customers. My goal is not only to grow a successful business, but also to make a difference in my community by providing dependable work that customers love
"Bless Derek for coming to our rescue. Now days it very hard to find a company to help. He jumped right in there and took care of our dirt work and at reasonable prices, no price gouging. We loved working with Derek! Nobody else is touching our property, he is the best!!!!!! He did 3 French drains, filled and leveled low spots and traveled our driveway. Derek is a pro the way he handled the machines!"
"I had a two man team install a recycled asphalt single lane drive beside my garage and a walkway to the back door of the house. They did a great job on clearing, leveling, packing the asphalt, and cleanup after the job was done. Very pleasant, and hard working staff. Would recommend them to anyone. Am pleased with the amount negotiated and the time they took to make sure I was satisfied with the results."
"It was excellent, he did a really good job. They cleaned up really well, they were very polite, very cooperative, and did exactly what I asked them to do."
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.

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.
In the United States, roads are usually categorized as one of three types: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads. These categories dictate how a road can be used; a non-drivable road might be classified that way because it is heavily damaged and unsafe for cars.
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.
