When should I replace my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting.

Q: What’s the difference between tar and bitumen?

• <div><p>Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product&mdash;extracted during crude oil refining&mdash;and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today&rsquo;s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.</p></div>

Q: How long do asphalt driveways last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">Asphalt driveways last</a> anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don&rsquo;t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It&rsquo;s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues that require asphalt paving repair or patching?

• <div><p>Cracking, surface crumbling, weather-induced damage, and potholes are common issues necessitating asphalt repair.</p></div>

This company recently added an asphalt sealer to our farm asphalt driveway. They did an excellent job. They arrived on scheduled, cleaned the drive, filled cracks and applied a heavy amount of sealer. When finished, they put up a barricade to keep the would be "testers" off for 24...

They did a great job and did it the same day in my situation. They were very professional and explained all aspects of the job and pricing. Would not go anywhere else. If you need a roof repair or a new roof, look no further.

They did an excellent job. Had to have a couple things repaired that was caught in the home inspection. The job was quick. The cost could always be cheaper but I was only charged a service call.

What really sold me on this shop was the courtesy I was given by the employee's. I did not talk to the repair man until the next day. What blew me away that they did not charge for the service. I will take the machine back if I have any problems. I will also delight in shopping at this store.
