| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Bangor driveways sit on glacial marine clay that heaves hard under deep frost. We build a full hot mix asphalt driveway with a compacted aggregate base and binder course set to handle the city's spring thaw and steep hillside runoff. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Bangor's frost runs 60 inches deep, deeper than most of the state, and drives the cracking we repair. We cut out the failed asphalt down to the aggregate base, patch with hot mix, and pitch the repair to shed spring thaw water off the surface. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Winter plowing and the spring thaw punch potholes into Bangor driveways every year. We cut back to sound asphalt, tack the edges, and pack in hot mix so the patch holds through the next freeze-thaw cycle on the clay below. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A Bangor driveway with a sound base but a cracked, aged surface is often a fair candidate for resurfacing. We mill the worn top layer, tack the old asphalt, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched to shed meltwater off the marine clay subgrade. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Bangor driveways broken down past patching often need the old surface milled off before anything new goes down. We grind out the failed asphalt down to the aggregate base, haul off the millings, and leave the site ready for a new binder course. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A Bangor driveway cracked and heaved for years is usually past patching once the marine clay shifts. We tear out the old surface, rebuild the aggregate base for the clay and till below, and pour new hot mix pitched for Bangor's steep hillside grades. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots across Penobscot County take a beating from winter plowing and the long Bangor freeze. We build new lots with a compacted aggregate base and full-depth hot mix designed for the region's 60-inch frost depth and heavy delivery traffic. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Bangor parking lots crack and alligator after a hard winter once the base underneath starts to fail. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and patch it flush with hot mix so it holds through the next Penobscot County freeze-thaw. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings give Bangor's back lots and camp roads a firm surface without full hot mix cost. We grade and compact reclaimed asphalt over the aggregate base, a practical option on higher ground where stony glacial till makes a full paved driveway harder to grade. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives Bangor homeowners a textured, lower-cost surface that still handles heavy frost movement. We spray hot liquid asphalt and press in stone chips over a compacted base, a finish common on older Bangor streets and rural roads around the county. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel driveways still work well on rural lots around Bangor and out through Piscataquis County. We grade and compact the base, shape the crown to shed the region's 45 inches of yearly precipitation, and leave a surface that stands up through mud season. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private roads in newer subdivisions toward Brewer, Hampden and Orono take steady wear from plows and winter traffic. We build a full-depth base and hot mix surface engineered for shared HOA roads, sized to the region's 60-inch frost depth and heavy seasonal snow load. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Newer subdivision lots toward Hampden and Brewer often have room for a wider two-car apron. We tie new hot mix into the existing driveway with a clean butt joint, matching the base and pitch so the extension moves with the same frost cycle. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Bangor's mix of steep lots and flat subdivision ground both work for a paved sports court base. We grade and compact the aggregate base, then lay hot mix asphalt pitched to drain so play surfaces hold up through Bangor's long, snowy winters. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have a different per-unit cost than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Current Pavement Condition : Existing damage, drainage issues, and base layer quality affect prep work. A driveway needing full removal and base repair costs more than one ready for overlay.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel each have different costs. Premium materials and finishes impact your final price.
- Site Accessibility and Grading : Steep slopes, poor drainage, or difficult access may require additional grading, compaction, or site preparation, increasing labor and material costs.
