Common Questions

For a standard 2-car driveway (approx. 400-600 sq ft), homeowners in Oshawa are currently paying between $3,500 and $5,800 for a full asphalt replacement.

A permit is not required for simple repaving of an existing footprint. However, if you are widening the driveway or changing the curb cut, a Driveway Entrance Permit is required, costing approximately $215 plus a refundable security deposit.

Interlock paving is significantly more expensive, ranging from $22 to $38 per sq ft in the Durham Region, meaning a project that costs $5,000 in asphalt could exceed $15,000 in interlock.

Asphalt resurfacing (overlay) costs roughly $3.25 to $4.75 per sq ft, while a full 'dig-out' and replacement costs between $7.50 and $10.50 per sq ft depending on the base condition.
