Is asphalt a type of concrete?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">type of concrete</a>. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">differences between asphalt and concrete driveways</a>.</p></div>

What is asphalt made of?

• <div><p>Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.</p></div>

How much does it cost to replace an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">Asphalt driveway repairs cost</a> an average of <b>$2,500</b> if you hire a professional. Prices can range from <b>$100 to $1,500</b>, depending on the extent of the damage and the type of repair. Filling cracks on your own will cost around<b> $100 to $400</b>, but sealing your driveway costs around <b>$470 </b>extra, so be prepared for additional costs.</p></div>

What is the best grade of asphalt for a driveway?

• <div><p>Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.</p></div>

What other driveway materials can I choose for my driveway?

• <div><p>Cobblestone is just one of many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-perfect-material-your-driveway.htm">driveway materials</a>. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. </p><p>If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from <b>$10 to $50 per square foot</b> and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone. </p></div>

"The job was clearing out a 300 sq foot area of tree roots, prepping area for new driveway, and laying down new asphalt. The job with Dennis started out great. He worked very hard. When it came time to get asphalt for the driveway, the shop just had 1 variety that day. When he arrived at my house with the asphalt, he was visibly upset about the grade that they had available. He made the decision to get a grade that has rocks in it that are from .5"-1" size rocks. Definitely not a finer grade which is more acceptable for residential driveways. When he was done, he was still visibly upset about the results and even thanked me for not being irate with him. He was hiring a third party to come in and lay mastik to fill the gaps, and level the surface, then seal the entire driveway. I appreciated his hard work and believed he was taking care of the job, so I paid him since I felt he was a man of his word. I even gave him a $600+ tip. The mastik/sealing company came out the next day and only used mastik on 25% of the 300 sq feet. A few days after it was fully dry, I texted Dennis and expressed my concern that the gaps were not filled and the surface was not at all level. He agreed to have the sealing company come out again. I specifically asked Dennis if they were using mastik as another coating of seal would not fill the gaps. He ignored my question and a second layer of seal was applied. I texted Dennis after the weekend asking him to get back to me. I did not hear back from him. I texted the next day expressing my concern that the gaps were still not filled and that now, there were streaks from the second application of the driveway being sealed. I included photos and asked him to please get back to me. He said that the work was "not that bad" and he "did what was on the estimate". "If the work is unsatisfactory, then I recommend going with another company" I paid Dennis for his hard work and what I thought was his honest word about finishing my driveway. Definitely my fault for believing him at his word. Dennis was dishonest with me on many occasions. He said that mastik would be used to fill gaps and level the surface. That did not happen. When I repeatedly brought up the grade of asphalt that he chose without talking to me, he said "asphalt is aphalt" that there is no difference in grade. Dennis told me that he would come out and look at my driveway again, but he never did. Dennis claimed that he sent the company out to seal my driveway 3 times and it was twice. I know that this repair would not match my existing driveway, but asphalt that was a much more appropriate grade could have and should have been used. I will have to hire another company to rip out and redo what Dennis refused to complete as he told me. I'm sure most of the time Dennis has done great work. Unfortunately that was not my experience. I thought he was a man of his word, but his dishonesty and bad decisions have left me with an unacceptable end result."

HCI General Contractors... Where the purpose of our business is building yours and for many years, HCI has turned your visions and ideas into realities. Our clients represent a broad-spectrum of industries and business sectors, giving us the opportunity to apply our extensive experience and passion for excellence to each specific project, regardless of the size, or special circumstances. With a well-respected track record behind us, and a solid outlook ahead, we’ve learned that our collective experience with all projects creates exceptional solutions and results for our customers, no matter what they’re building. From transportation structures to multi-level office buildings to retail and medical centers, the purpose of our business is building yours. HCI offers design, management and construction services to make your new construction project easy. Our full-service, turn-key approach assures you of a reliable, seamless process from pre-construction, through construction to final inspection. SITE-EVALUATION SERVICES: HCI's onsite, pre-bid walk-thru's are utilized to determine preliminary job evaluation and budgeting. We incorporate forward planning and identifying potential problems prior to job costing to insure accurate bids. Digital photos and extensive note taking help us to understand the entire project and needs of our clients. PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES: HCI will facilitate the correct interface between owners, architects, engineers, municipalities, local building departments and subcontractors prior to job start up, insures a full understanding of job scope, seamless start up transition and complete schedule adherence. Meeting with all related parties prior to construction start allows everyone to understand each other’s needs, desires and requirements as they relate to the project. Having the opportunity to dialog with all participants takes the “guess-work” out of protocols, scheduling, and the course of communication stream. This process also allows any final or potential problems to be addressed and remedied prior to the construction start date. CONSTRUCTION: A successful construction project always starts with successful planning. HCI prides itself on taking the time to plan and prepare for a project long before the first workers show up on site. Understanding that the complete construction process requires planning, scheduling, tracking, budgeting and proper managing allows our team of highly trained professionals, project managers and site superintendents to operate with optimum performance, and quality control on each and every project we undertake, from conception to completion.
