Highly recommend Torres Contracting. They did a blacktop driveway, with cobblestone border, and some cement work. It came out beautifully. Tony is easy to work with, has a great crew, and gave a fair and honest price. A+ experience.

"I initially just wanted my asphalt driveway replaced with paver borders. But as I watched how beautiful the driveway pavers were looking, I decided to replace my concrete sidewalk with pavers. John gave me ideas of the color to choose and it came out perfect. The new driveway and pavers look amazing. John and his team were very knowledgeable and professional. They took their time answered any questions or concerns. I will definitely be calling Pro Vision back for future paving needs. You will be extremely happy with John and his Team."

"Pitched the driveway away from the street back towards the house so water pools when it rains. Said they would be back to fix it after arguing and saying “the customer isn’t always right” even though it’s very obvious what they paved is not level. After months of not hearing anything they came and paved my neighbors driveways on both sides and never even fixed mine. Original owner sold to employee…avoid, you get what you pay for."

"Mark was a pleasure to deal with. His estimate for project completion was on target. His crew responded to a separate request to move driveway gravel to other spots on the property. The price was excellent and the end product looks fantastic. I would hire this group again, but I only have one driveway."

FAQs for asphalt driveway service projects in Plainsboro, NJ

An asphalt driveway should last 25 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt used, the climate, how well the foundation was prepared, the type of soil under the foundation, and how well you maintain your driveway. Maintaining asphalt by filling cracks and reapplying sealer every few years can help extend the life of your asphalt driveway.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
Do you use subcontractors on your projects?
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
