"From start to finish John Cooper paving did a top notch job, very professional.can’t say enough about the guys who did the job, helpful and friendly, i highly recommend this company when you need their service, you won’t be sorry you did"
"Start to finish, my experience with iPave was terrific. I reached out to a handful of paving contractors on Angi's to have my roughly 3,000 sq/ft driveway paved. Henry at iPave was one of the first contractors to contact me. He turned around a quote faster than anyone AND had a great price. During the estimating process Henry was a pleasure to deal with. He returns calls promptly & his genuine, relaxed personality makes him very easy to communicate with. We were able to schedule installation surprisingly quickly. From first contact to installed driveway took just over 2 weeks. Which is fantastic. Henry said he & the rest of the crew would be on the job at 8am & he meant it. They were unloaded & breaking ground at 7:58am. It may not seem like much, but when a contractor shows up EXACTLY when they say they will, it's a great feeling. All of the equipment looked very new & well cared for, which is always a good sign. The crew had a great vibe & seemed eager to get to work. Henry operated the skid steer, which was great to see. When the estimator is also hands-on during installation, there's no chance of miscommunication. The crew was finished & cleaned up by 2:30pm. That's 6.5 hours for a fairly large driveway, start to finish. Very efficient. The finished product completely blew my expectations out of the water. Our home is 140 years old and never had a finished driveway. My wife and I are thrilled with the new curb appeal. The workmanship & attention to detail are superb. I would absolutely recommend iPave to anyone looking for asphalt services. In fact, I've already referred a coworker. Call them, you won't be disappointed. I'll never call anyone else."
"Andrew and his team did an exceptional job enhancing the concrete deck around our pool. They also repaired damage to our driveway that had been left by another concrete contractor. From start to finish, Andrew’s communication was outstanding—he kept us informed before, during, and after the project. Most importantly, Andrew is honest, stands behind his work, and delivers on what he promises. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality contractor, I highly recommend hiring Andrew and his team. You won’t regret it."
It went VERY WELL! We'd gotten an initial quote early in the spring and then revisited the idea with him during the summer before going ahead. We were both flexible in terms of time frames which made it easy to work in some additional landscaping at a reasonable additional charge. Most importantly, Valter was very accommodating with my erecting a decorative concrete block retaining wall around the base material before the final pour of the driveway slab. His crew alternated work days around my weekend efforts. I couldn't be happier with the final result.

If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.
If your new pavers look dull or unclean, it is likely due to efflorescence, a chalky, white powder that forms when lime in the pavers gets wet. This condition often resolves on its own, as rain will naturally wash it away within about a year. For faster results, you can use a pressure washer to clean the pavers. Alternatively, consider using cleaning products specifically designed to remove efflorescence or applying sulfuric acid crystals.
Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway.
While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
