"Extremely well in every respect. They had their equipment in the area finishing up a commercial job nearby, and had extra material, so they cold-called me (based on the condition of my driveway, I'm sure!), explained their services and measured up the drive and provided a firm quote on the spot. The price was right and I liked the gentlemen (Robert Elsten, the owner and his nephew Rocky), so we shook hands and agreed they'd bring their equipment over to my drive and get started the next day. Early the next day Robert called and explained that the light drizzle that was expected during the day would make it less than ideal for asphalt to adhere, so we agreed they'd get started the following Monday, when sunny conditions were called for. They showed up on time and got to work with a cleanup crew of 10 or so and were ready to start paving by noon. We have a circle drive, a cutout with a carport (supported by four posts) and an extension to the two-car garage . The surface applied was even, uniform and right up to the curb and the garage and consistent around the carport posts. We had a light rain the next day and there is almost no pooling of water - excellent grading and drainage. All around a top-flight experience. Recommended!

"We bought this deal for some extra help on our renovatio. Could not provide a licensed in harwood heights IL electrican as we were initially promised, which was the main reason for buying this deal. Owner is hard to get a hold of and get an answer out of, the project manager was easier to work with. The guys who came to do the work were great no issues there that is only reason we would work with them again.

"Customer service was very good. John responded immediately to our phone request, made a personal visit and provided an estimate the same day. Job was started later than promised in the day, but the crew worked late and the job was completed as promised and was done efficiently."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.

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.

Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. 

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.
