Find a licensed driveway and paver contractor on Long Island

What driveway and paver contractors do

Driveway and paver contractors build and replace driveways, walkways, patios, steps and retaining walls in asphalt, concrete, brick and stone.

• A cracked, sunken or crumbling driveway.
• A new patio, walkway or steps.
• Water that pools on the driveway or runs toward the house.

Who licenses driveway and paver contractors on Long Island

• State law treats replacing or improving a driveway as home improvement, naming driveways in General Business Law section 770.

Suffolk County

• Suffolk's home improvement law names both driveways and masonry, and running a business doing that work without a county license is unlawful unless an exemption applies.
• Consumer Affairs in Suffolk names driveways, and separately masonry, as areas of home improvement work.

Nassau County

• Nassau's Administrative Code puts the installation, construction, replacement or improvement of driveways inside its home improvement definition, so a driveway business needs a county license.
• Nassau's list of trades that need a license from Consumer Affairs names paving and driveway seal coating, and masonry work too.

What it costs

Brickmasons and blockmasons earn a median $88,831 a year, from about $66,592 at entry level to $108,761 with experience.

Driveway and paver prices turn on the area, the material, removal of the old surface, the base, drainage and any work at the curb. See the driveways, pavers and masonry cost guide.

What to ask before you hire

• Your county license number, so I can check it before I sign?
• A certificate of insurance sent to me by your insurer, not a photo?
• Does the job need a town permit, or a permit for work at the curb or the street?
• How deep is the base, and how will water drain?
• Who marks the property line, and who calls in underground utility markings?
• What does the warranty cover, and for how long?
