ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS
3

• Before hiring a company for your asphalt
  driveways, it is advisable to ask a few questions
  to potential asphalt contractors, which will aid
  in ensuring a quality job.
• A quality job will endure up to 20 years while an
  inferior job will rot within a year or two.
• It would cost many times over to rectify the poor
  or substandard workmanship than it would have
  actually cost to perform it in the right way, the
  first time.

• It is recommended to hire a reputed civil
  construction company with a solid experience.
• It is also advisable to get valuable inputs from
  your family and friends, which will aid in a good
  result.
• It is a good idea of reaching out to a minimum
  three or four asphalt companies and requesting
  for their quotes, finished work examples and
  availability.
• Ensure the asphalt contractor has the appropriate
  insurance, license including workers
  compensation and liability
• After you finalise on the asphalt company for
  constructing or repairing your propertys asphalt
  driveways, if feasible, inspect the companys
  work personally to judge the overall work quality

• Asphalt contractors can either demolish the
  driveway and rebuild it or just apply a layer on
  top of a driveway
• A gravel base and three inches of asphalt should
  be included in a completely reconstructed
  driveway
• The asphalt contractor should apply at least two
  inches of asphalt when paving over top
• Areas having poor drainage may need a deeper base
  is the viewpoint of some experts
• To obtain durable and lasting asphalt paving,
  commercial-grade asphalt is recommended instead
  of a residential grade

6

• Property owners should keep away from asphalt
  contractors who claim to utilize secret or
  sophisticated processes
• Remain alert of contractors who claim to be in
  your locality with remnant asphalt, which they
  may offer to you at a reduced price
• At times, you will encounter a contractor who
  says to people, Look I have an entirely new
  procedure of performing blacktop. Further, he
  will state that all established contractor
  accomplishes it in the same method. Typically, he
  will end with a strong punch line stating, I
  have been applying this process for over 25 years
  and it has not changed in all these years.

7

• Ask about the work schedule, how deep would be
  the asphalt, the estimate given will be the final
  fixed price and whatever else that they are not
  sure
• An honest contractor will discuss industry terms
  and conditions with the client to make sure the
  client is completely informed and very
  comfortable with the project. On the other hand,
  if a client is not feeling comfortable to ask
  questions or to double check the details with
  their contractor, certainly, the client will want
  to consider another contractor

• An established asphalt company will effortlessly
  spot the impending problems on your property,
  like incorrect drainage, or missing an essential
  support, for the existing drive. To put it
  differently, an asphalt company or contractor
  should not be avid to pour over the existing
  rural driveway, in case it is shoddily damaged,
  and bill the client
