Cost to Repave a Driveway in 2025

On average, repaving a driveway costs between $1,400 and $12,100. Homeowners spend about $6,800 on average, according to home services aggregator website Angi.

The final price can vary based on the material, the condition of your existing driveway and factors such as the grade of your land. Customizations, permits and the time of year can also add up.

Repaving a driveway typically costs $7 to $14 per square foot. Most driveways range from 200 to 800 square feet, but the right dimensions for you depends on how far your house is from the street and how many cars you want to fit side-by-side.

Here are common driveway sizes and their average repaving cost range:

Cost to repave a driveway by material

The most common materials for repaving a driveway are asphalt, concrete and pavers. Gravel can be a low-cost alternative.

Here’s a typical repaving cost range, including labor, and important features of each driveway material:

Some optional add-ons can elevate your driveway in certain climates. Here’s the cost of several popular customizations:

• Heated driveways cost between $12 and $21 per square foot on average, and use a gentle heat when activated to keep snow at bay. 

• Driveway culverts cost $1,000 to $9,000 on average, depending on the complexity of the drainage system.

• Sealant application extends the life of the driveway with an impermeable top coat and typically costs around $500 per coat. 

Labor cost to repave a driveway

Hiring a professional to repave your driveway will cost about $5 to $7 per square foot, though costs can be much higher for more time-consuming materials like pavers or stone. Here are a few additional factors that can raise labor costs:

• Excavation typically costs $1,000 to $2,500, depending on how deep your installer needs to dig to align the paving with the ground..

• Demolition can cost $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the condition and structure of your current driveway. 

• Landscaping costs from $4 to $10 per square foot of turf or garden that’s disrupted by the new driveway.

• Permits cost an average of $250 and are required in some jurisdictions. 

• Steepness, curves and unusual shapes in your driveway can add 15% to 30% to the total cost.

• Time of year can impact costs, especially early spring when driveway installation is most popular. Choosing a less busy season, like winter, may reduce labor costs.

Signs you need to repave your driveway vs. resurface

Asphalt driveways can last between 15 and 30 years, while concrete and paver driveways typically last 20 to 50 years. Driveways will last longer with proper upkeep, including periodic resurfacing.

Resurfacing adds a fresh layer of gravel, asphalt or concrete on top of your original driveway and can fill cracks or potholes, but won’t address deep underlying damage. Here are some signs that your driveway needs to be fully repaved:

• Ongoing issues with poor drainage.

• Substantial cracks affecting curb appeal and driveway usability.

• Nearing the expected lifespan of the driveway.
