What questions should you ask an asphalt driveway contractor?

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

How do I know if the asphalt is fully cured?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair or patch asphalt?

• <div><p>Preparation and repair might be completed within a few hours to a day, depending on the severity of the damage and the size of the area.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance will help you avoid costly repairs and early replacement. Clean the driveway surface with a stiff brush and water at least twice yearly, and remove any weeds that try to take root. Additionally, every two to five years, apply a sealcoat&mdash;this protects the driveway against damaging UV rays and keeps it looking like new. </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>

Laman's Roofing & Gutters did an excellent job replacing a roof for me and also repairing some siding. The communication was rapid and professional before and after the job was done. I have recommended them for friends in addition to hiring them for another job myself. Great work.
