"Dario did an outstanding job! We previously had an asphalt driveway and a brick paver walkway and porch. We replaced our driveway with concrete and the walkway and porch with aggregate. The entire project looks amazing!!!"
"Lower Peninsula Sealcoating did a great job on my 2100 sq ft driveway. Communication was good as they kept me informed of the process and arrived at the agreed upon time. The job included repairing a pot hole as well as filling cracks and sealcoating. Throughout, they were efficient, professional and pleasant. The price was fair and representative of similar quotes from other companies. I will hire again them in future as the need arises."
"I wish you could give a higher rating than 5 stars because Mr. LaFata, his sons and team deserve that. We hired them to redo our driveway and some cement in the back and we could not be happier with the work they did! Everything looks amazing and they are very respectful, trustworthy, fast, friendly and professional. They even interacted with our son who was amazed with the cement truck! We will be recommending them to everyone that we know and we will only use them for any cement/brick work we need! Thank you LaFata family and crew!"
"Brian was very nice, said he'd do the job mid April, called in March and said he could come that day due to a cancelation and we were thrilled. Took about 5 hours, and now we can use our driveway again. Very professional, fast, thorough and quality of work is very good. Would hire him again."
"I couldn't be more impressed with the work done by Martin and his crew on replacing the broken slabs in my driveway. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and thorough. The crew arrived on time, carefully removed the damaged concrete, and poured fresh, smooth slabs that blend perfectly with the rest of the driveway. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and the final result looks fantastic! I'd highly recommend them to anyone in need of concrete services—truly top-notch craftsmanship!"
"They were very efficient. Had a large crew and were able to remove and pour the driveway in one day. They came back the next night to do the cutting. They told us they could do it the middle or end of June, but actually were able to do it at the end of May. Wonderful to work with a company that does what they say they can do. We thought they gave us a fair price, We are very happy with our new driveway. We would highly recommend them."
Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.
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.
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.
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.
Depending on project size, typically 1 to 3 days, including preparation and installation.
