South Florida’s Go-To Asphalt Paving Company
When homeowners and property managers in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton search for asphalt paving contractors near them, Sunshine Paving & Driveways is the name that keeps coming up — and for good reason. We’re not a national franchise. We’re a family-owned, Florida-licensed paving company that has spent two decades mastering the specific challenges of South Florida asphalt installation.
The problem with most asphalt paving failures in Florida isn’t the asphalt itself — it’s the sub-base. Broward County’s sandy, limestone-rich soil shifts constantly. Without proper compaction, drainage grading, and the right base thickness, even brand-new asphalt will crack and sink within a few years. Every job we do starts underground, where the real work happens.
We use commercial-grade hot mix asphalt — the same material used on Florida’s road systems — not the lightweight residential-grade mix that cheaper contractors use to pad their margins. The result is a driveway or parking lot that looks better, lasts longer, and costs you less over its lifetime.

From new driveways to commercial parking lots, our asphalt paving services cover every stage of a project’s life. One contractor, one crew, one warranty.
Full driveway installation from excavation to final coat. We handle sub-base preparation, proper grading for South Florida drainage, and hot mix asphalt application in one continuous project — no handoffs between crews.
Serving: Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton & all Broward
If your driveway’s structure is sound but the surface is cracked, faded, or rough, resurfacing delivers a like-new result at 40–60% of full replacement cost. We apply a fresh 1.5–2″ hot mix layer that bonds to your existing base and cures to a smooth, jet-black finish.
Best for: Driveways 5–15 years old with surface-level deterioration
Cracks are not just cosmetic — water infiltrates, hits the sub-base, and turns a $300 repair into a $5,000 replacement. We use hot rubberized crack filler and infrared asphalt repair technology to eliminate cracks permanently and restore structural integrity fast.
Response time: Typically within 3–5 business days for repair jobs
HOAs, shopping centers, office parks, and multi-family communities across South Florida trust us for parking lot paving, resurfacing, pothole repair, and ADA compliance work. We schedule around your business hours to minimize tenant disruption and always hit our project deadlines.
Includes: Paving, striping, speed bumps, drainage corrections
Florida’s UV index is one of the highest in North America. Unprotected asphalt oxidizes within 2–3 years, turning gray and brittle. Our commercial-grade sealcoating blocks UV rays, resists oil and fuel spills, and restores that deep-black showroom finish that makes your property stand out.
Recommended: Every 2–3 years in South Florida’s climate
Need to fit a boat, RV, or an extra vehicle? We widen and extend existing asphalt driveways with a seamless match to your current surface — you won’t be able to spot the join. We handle all required Broward County permits for driveway modifications as part of the project.
Includes: Permit management, seamless color matching, cleanup
Our Process
Most asphalt failures happen because contractors skip steps to finish faster. We don’t. Every Sunshine Paving installation follows the same engineered process — the one that earns a 98%+ satisfaction rate and lets us offer a 5-year warranty with confidence.
We inspect your existing surface, evaluate the sub-base condition, check drainage slope, and measure accurately. Your quote is itemized — no vague lump sums.
We excavate to the required depth and compact a 6–8″ crushed limestone base — the most critical step that most cut-rate contractors rush or skip entirely.
Every surface is graded precisely to direct water away from your home or building — essential in South Florida where summer rain totals exceed 60 inches annually.
We apply commercial-grade hot mix asphalt at the correct temperature and compact it with a steel drum roller to achieve the required density — not just the appearance of density.
Clean edges, removed debris, and a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything meets our standard. We don’t consider a job done until you do.

The crew that shows up is our crew — trained, uniformed, and accountable to us and to you. No strangers. No quality surprises.

We’re a local family business. Our warranty isn’t a distant call center — it’s us showing up when you call. Every new installation is covered for 5 full years on materials and labor.

Customer Reviews
We got three quotes for asphalt resurfacing. Sunshine wasn’t the cheapest, but they were the most professional. They explained the sub-base issues the other guys missed entirely. The driveway looks like a runway now. Worth every penny.
We needed to widen our driveway to fit our boat. Sunshine matched the existing asphalt perfectly — you genuinely cannot tell where the old ends and the new begins. Seamless work, on time, cleaned up everything.
Managing a community with 200+ homes is no joke. Sunshine Paving handled our road repaving project with minimal disruption to residents. Stuck to the schedule and the budget. I’d recommend them for any commercial paving job.

FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers across Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Broward County.
Asphalt paving in South Florida typically costs $8 to $15 per square foot for residential driveways, depending on size, required thickness, sub-base condition, and site grading. A standard 2-car driveway (400–600 sq ft) runs $3,200–$7,000 installed. Resurfacing is typically 40–60% less than full replacement. Sunshine Paving provides free, itemized quotes with no vague ballpark numbers and no hidden fees at invoice time.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in South Florida lasts 20–30 years with regular sealcoating every 2–3 years. Florida’s UV index and intense heat accelerate oxidation on unprotected asphalt, but our commercial-grade hot mix and engineered drainage grading significantly extend lifespan compared to standard installations by cut-rate contractors.
You can walk on fresh asphalt immediately after installation. We recommend keeping vehicles off for at least 48–72 hours. In South Florida’s summer heat, waiting the full 72 hours prevents tire marks and surface deformation as the asphalt cures. During the first two weeks, avoid sharp steering wheel turns in place and try not to park in the exact same spot every day.
Yes. In Florida, paving contractors must hold a valid state contractor’s license and carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Sunshine Paving & Driveways is fully licensed and insured in the State of Florida. Always ask any contractor for their license number before signing a contract — and verify it on the Florida DBPR website.
Asphalt resurfacing (overlay) applies a fresh 1.5–2″ layer of hot mix asphalt over your existing driveway, correcting surface cracks and restoring appearance — at 40–60% of full replacement cost. Full replacement removes the old asphalt entirely, repairs or rebuilds the sub-base, and installs a completely new surface. If your sub-base is compromised or there’s significant drainage failure, full replacement is necessary. We assess honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution — never upsell.
In most Broward County cities — including Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale — a permit is required for new driveway installation or full replacement. Resurfacing and crack repairs typically don’t require permits, but requirements vary by municipality. Sunshine Paving manages all permitting on your behalf. Unpermitted driveway work can create disclosure problems when you sell your home — don’t risk it.
