Do I need a permit to repave my driveway?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist.

This permit costs between <b>$50 and $300</b> 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.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to repave my driveway?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you&rsquo;re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you&rsquo;ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area.

Q: How good is recycled asphalt for a driveway?

• <div><p>Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn&rsquo;t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment. </p></div>

Q: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

Q: When should I repair or replace my driveway?

• <div><p>The decision to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">repair or replace your driveway</a> depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive&mdash;deep cracks or significant sinking&mdash;it&rsquo;s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.</p></div>

Q: Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>

I wanted to have my driveway power-washed because it had old oil and paint stains. I contacted Surfex Pro, and they gave me a reasonable price, so I decided to go ahead with it. I was very happy with their work and plan to use them again for my home's exterior and sidewalks. I highly recommend...

Removed the old concrete driveway, laid down 1800+ sq ft of pavers in less than five days. The workers were professional, upon completion the area was cleaned up and the driveway looked awesome. Couldn’t be happier with the job and the price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend….

I believe they do good driveways. We got a prompt estimate from Steve. $25K. He said just call if you have any questions. I did, but it seems he couldn't do me the courtesy of returning my calls. Not good business. He lost my business.
