"I contacted M&J Prime Builders on a Sunday morning via an urgent request on Angi (Angie's List) to repair a leak in our backyard irrigation system. Javier contacted us immediately and arrived at our home in Concord with his business partner, Marcos, within 90 minutes. They were very attentive, professional, and accommodating, especially for our unexpected Sunday morning emergency. They not only repaired the leak but also addressed another issue that had arisen with our shutoff valve. Their estimate was very reasonable and accurate, and their work is top-notch. Javier is both a licensed contractor and a civil engineer. As a result, they offer a wide range of home improvement projects. I will be using their services again and highly recommend M&J Prime Builders"

"We love our driveway! I have met with and worked with a lot of contractors. I can honestly say that their communication and quality was the best I’ve worked with in years. They were proactive and responded to questions and changes quickly. They were flexible but provided helpful guidance. They were incredibly kind and professional. In the end, the quality of work exactly what we wanted and they actually finished ahead of schedule. I’d recommend them to anyone and would love to work with them again myself."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature—hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.

Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.
