Re: driveway ?
I am in Port Jeff Station and we did this a few years ago, but more that 2 cars wide. It is huge. It cost us around $4500 including the paver edging. We used Anthony's Asphalt. We had estimated ranging from $4000 to 8000

Re: driveway ?
we're getting estimates now for adding a spur for a 2nd car and repaving--estimates all around $2000 (not making entire drive double wide)

Re: driveway ?
Some towns have limits on how big your driveway can be. We actually needed a variance to keep our existing driveway the size it is. Admittedly, it is a very big driveway, but just something to keep in mind, since every town is different.

Re: driveway ?
We have a 3 car driveway. The best price we received was 6500.....and if you are planning on making the driveway apron wider,it will cost even more....

Re: driveway ?

I know it's expensive. Our friend's family owns this business:

Hope this helps!

Re: driveway ?
I have generally found that blacktop is $3-4 a square foot, concrete is about $6 a square foot, and pavers are about $9-12 a square foot.
So measure and estimate your cost.
Paver borders I think are about $6-8 a LINEAR foot because a linear foot of pavers is typically smaller than a square foot.
