"I got quotes from 4 different asphalt companies for the resurfacing of my 6,000 sq ft driveway. Mike Stanley the owner of Advanced Asphalt gave me a complete quote with the scope of work itemized into 8 items. He was professional and explained in detail everything he was going to do. Not only did he complete all 8 items but also did a bit more. He and his crew did a great job. Mike ran the equipment and was on the job each day. His crew was friendly and experience as well. When it was all done they cleaned the work area and left it looking better than before the work began. We love our new driveway and HIGHLY recommend Mike and Advanced Asphalt. We didn't realize until after the job was complete and our gate wouldn't open that while preparing the old asphalt for the new surface Mike cut through the electrical wires that provided power to our electric gate. It cost $650 to have it repaired and when I asked Mike to pay he thought that was too much. We asked him to bring in his guy to fix it at a better price and he didn't respond. So we offered to split the cost with him. His equipment caused the damage and we needed an operational gate. We have made three requests for payment and even though he said ok, and that he will be out, he has not shown up and has not sent the check. BE AWARE, if he damages your property when performing work on your property, he won't pay to have it fixed! Now I have to take him to small claims court and will do so for the full amount. A disappointing ending to what I thought was a good experience."

"It had been ten years since any work had been done on this driveway and it was in very bad shape. Joshua and his crew cleaned, patched, and put two thick coats of slurry on the driveway. The work was performed efficiently and very effectively. Very pleased with Joshua's professionalism and the work he performed."

An asphalt driveway should last 25 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt used, the climate, how well the foundation was prepared, the type of soil under the foundation, and how well you maintain your driveway. Maintaining asphalt by filling cracks and reapplying sealer every few years can help extend the life of your asphalt driveway.
When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
Do you use subcontractors on your projects?
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
