"I can't say enough about King Pavers. Julio, Edelson and the team did an amazing job on our new driveway, walkway, patio, porch and landscape wall! Our only mistake was not calling Julio first. We began this project in March with another company, and were left with nothing - no new driveway, non-existent communication. We found King Pavers after a new search of paving contractors and noticed that King Pavers had stellar reviews, so we called for an estimate in September. Julio responded promptly, visited with us, and immediately demonstrated why his company was so well-regarded. He is knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He offered great design ideas that none of the other firms we met with had. We decided to go with King Pavers, and planned on doing the project in December (weather permitting) or in the spring. We lucked out - this month has been warm, so King Pavers scheduled the job. It took four days from start to finish - Julio and his team showed up every day before 8am, and worked full days to make it happen. The work was neat, they made sure to clean up the job site each day, and communication was excellent as Julio explained everything that was going to be worked on each day. As for the end result - I can't say enough how happy we are with the work King Pavers did for us! I'm pretty picky, and I have yet to find ANYTHING to complain about, LOL - Pavers are level (yes, I took a level to all the work to confirm), cuts are clean and precise, and the job looks AMAZING. Seeing the quality of the work, my neighbor asked Julio to fix issues with his existing paver walkway done by someone else, and was so happy with the work he is now planning future work with King Pavers (and two other neighbors were so impressed they asked for King Paver's contact info). I don't write many reviews - usually if I am very pleased or really unhappy. Julio and King Pavers did what they said they would, communicated well throughout the process, and dealt with us with honesty. They earned our business and through their effort, this 5 star review. We strongly recommend King Pavers!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We recently hired Long Island Mason and Concrete to remove our blacktop driveway and install a concrete driveway, add a concrete walkway and remove and replace our patio. I am so happy with the work that was performed by Tommy and his crew, all his employees are so professional, respectful, and really know what they are doing. I was so impressed by their work ethic and knowledge of their craft. Tommy was easy to work with, we made a few changes to the project and Tommy and the team were able to pivot and accommodate all our requests with no problem. Our job was able to start early and Long Island Mason and Concrete was able to work alongside our other contractors without any problems. I would not hesitate to call Tommy again if I need any mason work done."

"I highly recommend this general contractor for any paving project. From the beginning, he took the time to discuss the project in detail, explain the materials being used, and answer all of my questions. His communication was clear and professional throughout the entire process. The work was completed in a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. He was extremely punctual, always arriving as scheduled and keeping the project on track. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and the finished pavers look great. I appreciated his honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to making sure the job was done correctly. If you are looking for a reliable contractor who delivers quality work at a fair price, I would not hesitate to recommend him."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. 

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

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.
