"Mike R was a delight to work with. Answered all calls and texts promptly, honest and experienced. His crew was fantastic. They were professional, courteous and hardworking. They had to adjust to using their equipment in a tight space and did it with ease. The job encountered an obstacle and Mike stuck to our agreed budget and fixed the problem. Such a pleasure to work with overall and the driveway looks great. Very happy customer"

"We hired Mr. Davis after requesting quotes. They came to our home the next day and had the driveway done in 2 days. It is a long steep driveway and we are very happy with the install. Mr. Davis supervised and did the grading himself. The workers were very professional and polite. I would use him again for any future work I would need. Bob L. Murrysvile"

"They quoted the price and they did some extras for me like three of them and sealed it cost a little more but the driveway square footage was bigger and they did the Extras. So they went over and above what they could do even put the soil in my front yard and the level it. Job well done"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

Asphalt driveways last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don’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’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.

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.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

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.
