Frequently Asked Questions

Going by HomeGuide's national data, figure $5-$12+ per square foot: about $2,000-$4,800 at 400 square feet, $5,000-$12,000 at 1,000. Removal, base work and widening add to that. We give a written price after visiting.

Pavers are popular in newer Riverview neighborhoods and look great, but they usually cost more to install. Asphalt costs less, goes in faster and can be resurfaced when it wears. Many HOAs allow either; check your community's rules first.

Start with a condition survey. Most streets in their first 15 to 20 years need crack sealing, spot repairs and sealcoating, not reconstruction. We map the problem areas and give the board a prioritized plan with costs.

Paving can be done year-round, with summer jobs started early in the day. Sealcoating needs dry weather, so the drier months from October through May are easiest.

Work that reaches the county right-of-way, such as the apron at the street, may need county approval. Whatever the county asks for at your address becomes part of the schedule.

With a good install and upkeep, HomeGuide expects 15 to 30 years. In this climate, drainage and regular sealing make the biggest difference.

Yes. Asphalt around inlets often settles and breaks up as water softens the base. We cut out the damaged area, rebuild the base and repave so water flows into the inlet instead of ponding beside it.

Most Riverview communities require approval for changes to driveway size or materials, and some for replacement too. We provide the drawing and specs your committee needs.

Passenger cars do fine on two to three inches of blacktop riding on six to eight of stone. For RVs, boats or work trucks, we thicken both where they park.

There will be a joint, but done right it stays tight. We saw-cut, match the base, tack the edge and pave. Sealing the whole drive afterward helps old and new look alike.

Usually two to three days. In the summer heat, give it a little longer and avoid turning your wheels while stopped.

HomeGuide puts the resealing interval anywhere from 2 to 10 years by product and exposure. Most Florida communities in full sun do best on a three to five year cycle, with crack sealing in between.

Yes. One section closes at a time, every house keeps a way in, and residents see dated notices before their street's turn.

Yes. We coordinate schedules, notices, gate access and invoicing with your manager.

When the surface is rough, raveling or widely cracked but the base is still sound. If the base has failed, those areas need repair first.

We provide surveys as part of our estimate for associations considering paving work. The board receives the written report with photos and priorities.

An overlay runs roughly $3-$7 a square foot against $5-$12+ for new, per HomeGuide, which pegs the savings at 20 to 30 percent.

Not if the transition is milled first. We grind the old asphalt at the garage so the new layer meets it flush.

On a sound base with good drainage and regular sealing, many years. The condition of the base is the biggest factor.

Yes. We overlay one section at a time and keep a route open for residents.

Usually once or twice, if each overlay is milled at the edges. After several layers, the driveway can sit too high, and removal is the better option.

In full sun, plan on two to three years; HomeGuide's broader span is 2 to 10.

Yes, early in the day when no storms are forecast. If storms look likely, we reschedule.

HomeGuide gives 12 to 72 hours; on a typical dry day, a day or two.

No. Cracks are filled before sealing. Sealer protects the surface but does not repair damage.

Some sealers can be smoother when wet. We can add sand to the mix for better traction, which is common on sloped driveways and walkways.

Water saturates the base beside the inlet. Until that base is rebuilt and the pavement shaped to drain into the grate, the area keeps settling.

No, it is temporary. It rarely compacts or bonds fully and often pops out in heavy traffic or rain.

Yes. Spot repairs are common. The patch will look newer until the whole driveway is sealed.

Once damage covers much of the surface, or new failures keep appearing. At that point, replacement costs less over time.

Sealing after repairs cure helps the patches blend with the older asphalt and protects the joints from water.

HomeAdvisor's national band is $2-$4.50 a square foot, call it $400-$1,130 per stall. Base repairs, drainage work and phasing affect the total.

Yes. DOJ guidance says a restriped lot must meet the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible parking.

HomeGuide says 2 to 5 years for a well-maintained job. Busy entrances wear faster.

Often, yes, depending on weather and cure times.

Yes. We stencil numbers, RESERVED, NO PARKING and other markings as part of the striping job.
