"Mike was very responsive from the start.  I called him based on positive reviews from this site, and he got right back to me.  The house was a bit of a drive for him, but he promptly went out and did an estimate.  His price was very fair, and I decided to have him do the work.  He worked his schedule around to get to the project sooner, and was able to complete the job in a very timely manner.  The work was very professional, and the finished product looks great.  There was only one small hiccup - when he tore the old roof off, we discovered that there was a second layer of shingles under the top layer.  He had bid the job based on my say-so that there was only one old layer.  We were able to quickly come to an agreement, and he was very fair with his small price increase based on the unknown second layer.  Overall a very good experience.  I would hire him again for this or related type work.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

In the United States, roads are usually categorized as one of three types: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads. These categories dictate how a road can be used; a non-drivable road might be classified that way because it is heavily damaged and unsafe for cars.

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.

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.

The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.
