Q: How do I find a reputable paving company near me?

• <div><p>To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check that the company is licensed</a> and insured.</p></div>

Q: What is the best grade of asphalt?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no single best asphalt grade&mdash;it all comes down to where and how it&rsquo;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&rsquo;s input is always a smart move before making a decision.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to pave a driveway?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-pave-driveway.htm">Driveway paving costs</a> around <b>$4,500</b> on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from <b>$2,500 to $6,600</b> or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between <b>$2 and $15</b> per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Quality of the materials</p></li><li><p>Contractor&rsquo;s experience and expertise</p></li><li><p>Site preparation and grading, if necessary</p></li><li><p>Layout of your driveway</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the best grade of asphalt for a driveway?

• <div><p>Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.</p></div>

"Justin and his crew were fantastic. No issues at all. We ended up changing the tile, nearly mid-job because Justin wanted us to, "love it." He gave his professional opinion and he was right on with shape, color and style of backsplash. We should've started with his thoughts and saved us all time and hassle. He too facilitated returning special order tile we bought outside of his recommendations. We had delays due to COVID19 and tile orders, but he still checked in and got the job done as expected. The workmanship was perfect. We too like supporting our military veterans. After asking him about some of his experiences, he's one of many vets we'll happily support!.Highly recommended."
