"They did a good job. They lay a concrete slab to place eventually a shed. It was not a big project but it was nicely done. We communicate mostly with Tony, but Junior that is also an owner of the business was great as well."
"Rocky Mountain Sealers came the day I called and gave me a bid that day. I appreciated their promptness. They were also prompt and came the day they said they would to seal my driveway. My concern is that the seal coat they applied has several small cracks in it, mostly in places where my driveway was indented from so much wear and tear, and the seal coat was laid on quite thick, but there are also many small cracks in it in level places. I called them with my concerns and they came back and fixed the worst of the cracks a few days later, but there are quite a few cracks left, and I am concerned that the cracks that are still there will allow water to seep in and freeze during the winter months, causing the seal coat to peel off, or be scraped off when we shovel during the winter months."
"The service was excellent. The railing was sturdy and that was my concern. They were on time. They were here when they said they would. They were friendly when I called them."
"They were very professional and efficient. Removed snow around the property to reduce the chance of flooding in my home. Polite and on time, worked hard. Would definitely recommend and use again."
"Great work on my driveway pad. Got an estimate fast and they were able to start right away. Guys were friendly and hard working. Did a great job will definitely be using them again."
You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet.
Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway.
In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.
There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
The cost to replace a driveway ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on factors that include material, size, and labor. If your driveway has deep cracks, potholes, or drainage issues (or if it’s simply past its prime), replacement might be the smarter investment over constant repairs. Resurfacing can be a cheaper alternative at $3 to $20 per square foot, but it won’t fix your driveway’s underlying problems.
