I recently had an asphalt driveway put in. The crew was very professional. The driveway is smooth and very happy with the quality of the new driveway. They even went above and beyond and put in a small drainage area for water runoff. It has definitely improved the appearance of my home.

One of our main objectives was to make sure that water drains away from the house. We were very satisfied with their work. They did the prep work on a Thursday and finished the asphalt on the next Wednesday. Since we had very rainy season, they had to wait. They were very prompt though.

"They did a great job. I had received ridiculous quotes from other companies, some of which wanted to charge $1,200 just to provide an estimate. Tony came to evaluate the job and provided and estimate quickly and then started the work the next day since he had an opening. He was very knowledgeable and provided good suggestions as to what could be done. Tony arranged about seven truck loads of dirt fill and two more loads of top soil. The grading looks great and was done timely. I would definitely recommend and use them again."

FAQs for asphalt driveway service projects in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY

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.
