I'm glad I did not hire them and that they didn't charge me for coming out to give an estimate. However, why did you give me such a high estimate for such a small job? Was it because of my BMW in the driveway?

"We recently had our driveway replaced by Joe Connelly Paving and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience! We've dealt with many contractors over the years and I must say working with Joe was one of our more pleasant experiences. Joe, the owner, actually is on site doing the work with his crew, so that's also helpful. We're thrilled with the work Joe and his crew did, but we especially enjoyed Joe's commitment level and managing our expectations. Right up front, he gave us an estimate on when he thought he could do the job and how long it would take. Then every week or so he checked back in with a firmer date and came to start the job and finished it the next day, when he promised. Many contractors don't live up to their commitments or they start the job, go off and do other jobs, then come back to your project, which extends the timeline. We also like to support local small businesses, which Joe is. As far as price goes, we had 3 estimates and all were about the same. Bottom line, don't hesitate to hire Joe for your paving project; you'll be happy you did!"

"Overall Jarren is a professional and I would recommend his work. But... I did have one major issue. The 2000 square ft, 8-in thick, concrete slab was poured on clean bluestone, 24" deep. He did not vibrate or compact the stone before pouring the concrete. I know because I was there watching them install. It was made very clear that it was very important to do that. We talked about it on several occasions and it must be done. I had asked him to do that and he said he would do that but he did not do that. I followed up with him on email about the issue but he has not yet responded. This was not a major expense to do, so I'm not clear why he would cut a corner on this part of the project that's so very important to do. Perhaps it was just an oversight?"

FAQs for asphalt driveway service projects in Willow Grove, PA

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.
