Hiring a Local Asphalt and Paving Company

Hiring the right local asphalt and paving company is as important, if not more important the overall price of the job. A job well done can last as many as 40 years with proper maintenance; however, a poorly completed project can easily increase your problems and cost!

Tips to Select the Right Asphalt and Paving Contractor

1) Beware of any contractor who approaches you and claims to have some leftover materials from another job.
2) Always be sure your paving services company is licensed, bonded and adequately insured.
3) Get a list of local references and check them. Be sure to ask the references about the quality of the asphalt and paving company’s work, their attention to detail and if the work was completed on time.

Free Site Inspection

Your local asphalt paving company should perform a site visit to determine the condition of your existing parking area, size of the parking lot, and make note of any obstructions and areas of specific concern. Whether you are looking to install a new asphalt parking lot, make asphalt repairs or need asphalt patching, during this site visit it is important to make sure the paving services contractor understands the requirements of the job. Discuss the desired footprint of the project, budget, and time frame for completion.

Additionally, drainage and proper sloping should also be discussed with the asphalt contractor prior to any work being started.
