"I have been finishing the basement over the past couple of years and have dealt with many contractors. Larry is the best I have come across by a good measure. Prompt, communicative, helped pick out the pavers, kept me informed as the project progressed, and all at a reasonable price. I could not recommend him more."
"It went great. They showed up quicker than I could believe, got right to it, didn't mess around an did a beautiful job on that nasty, rutted rocky driveway. Great people, explained everything and didn't leave a mess."
"Valle concrete did a fantastic job pouring the concrete slab with footers for a 3 car metal garage. No issues at county inspections. The guys were all respectful of my property and I'm appreciate of their hard work. They were also very reasonably priced. Would hire again and recommend to any friend or family of mine. I also asked for them to put in a French drain around the building and they did a great job with that as well."
"Very professional and competent. Did great job for reasonable cost. On time and my driveway looks terrific. Highly recommend and hired them to replace my son’s driveway."
"Called Bent Oak only two days before the blizzard of January 2016. Phil made the effort to inspect the driveway beforehand, in order to estimate what would be needed. He was accurate in his estimate. And did excellent work -- twice because of the steady snow over the many hours."
"This was about the fourth time we have hired Chad Hurry for landscaping services. In the past, he did a curved paver sidewalk, circular large circular raised planters that coordinate with stacked stone and paver retaining walls in the front ditch and sides and back of our house, two patios on either side of the back deck, and total landscaping (with large rocks and plants) of the front yard. People have actually stopped and taken pictures of our yard. So, when we decided to add a walkway to the side of our house and remove a dying tree and re-landscape, we did not bother to call anyone else... just called Chad. Why mess with success? Chad and his assistant, Rob, were extremely easy to work with. We discussed our vision and Chad sketched out his ideas based on that... it was exactly what we were thinking. They were friendly, professional, and hard-working. The walkway they constructed exceeded our expectations... it was far sturdier than I thought it would be. They cleaned up the driveway and work area at the end of each work day and completed the entire project in 7 days... extremely reasonable. We felt the price was very reasonable as well. We have hired Chad several times and would hire him again without hesitation! "
"The process from start to finish was excellent and very easeful with Richard. He came and gave a quote promptly and explained everything about the process very thoroughly and made us feel very comfortable about the job that he was going to do. He got the job done when he said he would and it came out even better than we had imaged it could. Whetzels will be the only company we ever use for a driveway."
Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.
DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.
The cost to replace a driveway ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on factors that include material, size, and labor. If your driveway has deep cracks, potholes, or drainage issues (or if it’s simply past its prime), replacement might be the smarter investment over constant repairs. Resurfacing can be a cheaper alternative at $3 to $20 per square foot, but it won’t fix your driveway’s underlying problems.
Professionals ensure a solid base and smooth finish, enhancing durability and appearance.
The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.
