Asphalt Paving Cost in Lauderhill, FL: Asphalt Driveway Cost and How Much Does Asphalt Paving Cost

Each job carries its own price line, since driveways, lots and patches each carry their own loads and call for their own work. The table answers the common search, how much does asphalt paving cost, for the jobs requested most often, using typical national ranges:

Job	Typical price	Key variables
New driveway, two-car size	$1,200 to $4,000	thickness, base work, grading, access
Driveway repaving	$1,600 to $4,000	removing the old surface, condition of the base
Driveway resurfacing, overlay	$400 to $1,200	condition of the existing surface, overlay thickness
Driveway sealcoating	$281 to $862	size of the driveway, condition, number of coats
Patching and pothole repair	$1,000 to $3,600	number of repairs, depth of the damage
Parking lot, new paving	$10,000 to $150,000	number of spaces, size of the lot, drainage, base
Parking lot striping	$500 to $1,200	number of spaces, accessible spaces, number of coats

Only national figures exist, since no published Broward price turned up while this page was written. Angi reports about $5,350 for an average professionally installed asphalt driveway, across a typical spread of $3,154 up to $7,556. A bigger or trickier driveway therefore lands above the two-car range in the table.

Price alone does not pick the winner, because the lowest bid is not always the best value. Expect an overlay on a two-car driveway at $400 to $1,200, repaving at $1,600 to $4,000 and brand-new paving at $1,200 to $4,000. Overlays last 8 to 15 years, while new asphalt lasts 15 to 30, so the smaller bill buys a shorter life.

An overlay makes sense only if the driveway underneath is structurally sound. When the base has given out, cracks in the old surface travel up into the new layer and the money is lost. Patching and pothole repair total $1,000 to $3,600 and fit damage confined to a few spots. When cracks blanket most of the surface, a full repave usually saves money over the years compared with repairing the same area again and again.

The honest answer turns on what lies beneath the surface. For that reason a base check happens on the visit, ahead of any written price, and the estimate states plainly when an overlay will not hold. Digging a test hole or probing the stone takes only a few minutes and prevents an expensive surprise. A cheap-looking fix that fails in a few years is the priciest choice, since the whole job is paid for twice. Each option has its own page: driveway paving, asphalt resurfacing and asphalt repair.

Insist on a written estimate that shows every job and its price on a separate line. A lump sum with no breakdown makes two companies hard to compare. The Better Business Bureau recommends a signed, written contract. The contract should name the start and finish dates, the materials, how and when payment is due and the warranty terms. The BBB also warns against paying everything before work begins.

Another question to raise: is the quoted thickness the loose figure or the number after compaction? Better contractors give the compacted number, which keeps bids comparable. The BBB has cautioned about door-to-door crews that promise a thick repave and spread far less. A good estimate is free, names the compacted thickness and itemizes the base work, putting the scope on paper before anyone starts. Read the warranty terms in advance, compare identical items across every bid, and be wary of a price far below the rest, because the shortfall tends to come out of the base.
