"Victor and his team were professional and courteous. They did an excellent job of pouring concrete slab and erecting a metal garage for us. Victor patiently guided me through the decision making process, answering the many questions I had. He responded to my texts and calls in a very timely manner. I will definitely use them for any future needs."
"These guys saved my job and the landscaping too! My boss had been wanting myself and my team to take care of the landscaping for over a year. They came in & removed the birds nest under our site sign, added GREAT mulch, & made sure our landscaping got what it needed (water & love). When we hired them, I literally said “I don’t want my boss to come to town and talk to me about landscaping. I want him to talk to me about BBQ”. Since they’ve started landscaping hasn’t been a part of any conversation my boss and I have. They’re not only good at what they do but, they care as well."
"Fortress Trucking has handled nearly all of our materials delivery (sand, gravel, dirt, etc) and dump truck hauling for my construction business for the last 10 months. They are highly communicative, very dependable, and always do a great job. I have been managing the heavy construction division of our family business for 30 years and have worked with a number of trucking companies. In contrast to some of the larger trucking companies in the OKC metro, Fortress Trucking always does what they say they will do. ?Fail? is not in their vocabulary. We plan on using them for years to come."
"Shane and Wasey were great to work with. I have needed driveway improvements to my house for over a decade. I also had some drainage issues that needed to be addressed. Shane and Wasey really listened to what I thought I needed and wanted and worked with me to make it happen. Prior to calling Stryker, I had received 2 quotes and accepted one to start work on 6/7/2021. I was ghosted by that contractor. I reached out to Stryker, they came and looked at my job the same day and had me a quote by the next morning (6/23/2021). I asked for some additional wording on the quote, which Wasey added without issue. They came the day we agreed upon (7/8/2021) and completed the work just like they said they would!!! I am very happy with the driveway. I will hire them again if needed and will recommend to anyone looking for this type of work. Thanks guys!!!!"
"Wonderful customer service, prompt responses and scheduled very fast! Honest and offered multiple solutions. Installation of a French drain in our backyard and yard leveling-my husband is very pleased with the outcome. Says the owner was very friendly and stands behind his work-we would 100% use them again!"
"Sir Wilson is proactive, friendly, and easy to work with. They offered us 3 options to choose from which other roofers didn't have. The week I signed the contract, they got their team to work the same week!!! We are amazed by how fast they got the installation done. I'm glad I found them thru this Angi app and they contacted me instantly! Highly recommended! Thank you very much Sir Wilson and team."
"Replace old and damaged driveway. Great professional work. Above & beyond service. Ground up old drive and laid down excellent new circle drive. Couldn’t be more pleased. I’d recommend to anyone."
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, check that the company is licensed and insured.
Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.
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.
Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between $90 and $190 per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.
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.
