"What really made us select Don over other quotes was really his personality. He took the time to explain everything that needed to be done prior to during and after the replacement of the driveway. While his quote was in line with others we had give us a quote it was his follow up after the quote asking if we had any questions and if he needed to stop back for any reason that sold us. He and his crew where clean, polite and courteous. He even said he would be happy to come back free of charge if something needed to be touched up. We would definitely recommend him to everyone."
"We needed as asphalt apron added to our driving after having the concrete driveway installed and not being level with the road. Our vehicles would scrape upon entering the driveway every time. We called around and had a hard time finding anyone to take this job. P&M took the job and not only fixed the transition from the road to the driveway, but also paved to the drainage inlet to stop the pooling of water at the bottom of the driveway."
"Lou and his crew were great. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and quality. Lou came out measured everything up and gave me a quote over the phone later that day. Got me in the schedule and we coordinated around his other projects. Removed old asphalt driveway and installed new concrete slab in 3 days. Would hire Goodfellas again and recommend."
"Driveway looks amazing! Brendan provided a great experience all around. Was able to stop by the same day for an estimate and was back the next day to complete the work. He listened to my concerns about a mess a previous contractor made and provided all the answers/suggestions I needed to hear. Showed up exactly when he said he would and did a great job with prep. Will definitely be saving his info for next time the driveway needs sealed or patched up. TL;DR: High quality product, high quality work, high quality guy 👍🏻"
"Brandon gave us an excellent quote. He is reliable & completed the work on time. He did a beautiful job and we are so happy with his work. He works with his father and they did a good job cleaning up after the job was finished. They were very polite and respectful of our property and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs concrete work done. I would absolutely hire them again."
"John Sr. met with us on a Friday. He gave us information on a Sherwin Williams product that is a painted stain. There was a huge selection of colors and we picked one to match. He gave us an estimate on the painting project and a driveway sealant project. The estimate was an extremely good deal for the work. We called a few hours later to confirm we wanted them to do the work. John and his son Johnny came on Tuesday. His son was just as polite and courteous as his Dad. The job was finished in one day. Their work was very professional and they made sure we were completely satisfied. We are very pleased with both the shed and the driveway. We would highly recommend this company."
It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.
Asphalt paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.
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.
Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best 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.
