"Chris and his crew were wonderful! They did my siding, rebuilt a front wrap around porch, rebuilt a small back porch, replaced a basement / garage entry for, and repaired the gutters on my house. Every item was done with care, and good workmanship quality. The finished job was amazing! The whole crew was very polite, professional, and over the 4 weeks we all became friendly with each other. I am happy about the whole experience I recommend Big Blue Contracting, without hesitation."

"Got a new blacktop driveway sealed for the first time. Looks great and they showed up early and gave me a quick description of the process before they started, very professional. Great value for the money. My only complaint is the salesguy on the phone said we could drive on this after 12-24 hours but the actual construction guys said wait at least 2 days. This was my first time getting a driveway sealed so I didn't know any better and the extra day of waiting wrecked my plans for the weekend-can't get my car to the shop tomorrow to have the air-conditioner fixed when there's no road access other then my wet driveway. But it's done and it looks good. It was awesome they were able to schedule us the next day after contacting me too."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.

Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.

Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.

If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
