Paving & Interlock Quotes in Montreal

In Montreal and the surrounding areas, driveways take a beating: snow, plowing, de-icing salt, heavy rain and, above all, freeze-thaw cycles that shift the ground. A poorly built driveway can crack, sink or pool water within a few seasons. Asphalt paving, interlocking pavers, borders, walkways and patios: durability depends first and foremost on ground preparation and drainage.

Whether you want to redo a damaged driveway, widen your parking area or build an interlock patio, comparing several quotes helps you evaluate the quality of the proposed work, not just the price. In the Montreal area, soil conditions vary from one neighbourhood to the next, which is why a site visit before the quote is so important.

How it works

1. Describe your project in our form in 2 minutes: surface type, approximate area, current condition and timeline.

3. You compare quotes and choose the one that suits you. The service is free and there’s no obligation.

When comparing paving quotes, make sure each contractor plans the same work: excavation depth, type and thickness of crushed stone, compaction method, slope for drainage and finishing details. A quote that looks cheaper may simply include a thinner base, which can lead to settling and cracks after a few winters. Asking the same questions to every contractor makes the comparison much clearer.

What affects the price

The cost of a paving or interlock project depends on several factors:

• The surface chosen: asphalt, interlocking pavers, slabs or natural stone
• The area and shape of the driveway (curves, cuts, patterns)
• Excavation, crushed stone base thickness and compaction
• Soil type and drainage needs
• Removal and disposal of the old surface
• Borders, steps, walls and decorative elements
• Site access for machinery
• Your region and the season

Prices vary by region, materials, project size, access and season. To compare properly, make sure each quote specifies excavation depth and base thickness.

How to choose a paving contractor

A solid driveway is built below the surface. Before you sign, check the following:

• RBQ licence: check whether the work requires an RBQ (Régie du bâtiment du Québec) licence, for example for certain structures such as retaining walls, and whether the contractor holds one. The RBQ registry is available online.
• Liability insurance: ask for proof of current coverage, useful if machinery damages your property or a neighbour’s.
• Written, detailed quote: area, excavation depth, base thickness, asphalt type and thickness or paver model, drainage, borders, cleanup and timeline.
• Warranty: ask what the warranty covers, especially in case of settling.
• Reviews and references: read reviews and ask for addresses of jobs a few years old to see how they’ve held up through the winters.
• Be cautious: watch out for door-to-door offers of discounted leftover asphalt, and never pay the full amount upfront.

Tips before you start

• Book early: paving season generally runs from spring to fall, when the ground is thawed and dry. Contractors fill their schedules quickly, so send your request at the end of winter.
• Let the ground settle: in spring, wait until the thaw is over before excavating.
• Permits: some work requires a permit from your municipality, for example widening a driveway, a new curb cut or rules on impermeable surfaces. Check with your city.
• Plan for snow: leave room to pile snow and choose a finish suited to shovels and snowblowers.
• Maintenance: ask when to seal your asphalt or top up the joint sand in your interlock.

Comparing several paving quotes lets you choose a contractor who won’t cut corners on the base and drainage.
