How to Find a Quality Asphalt Repair and Sealcoating Contractor

Paved surfaces like driveways and parking lots go through a lot of wear and tear, which can cause the surface to crack and deteriorate. If not properly maintained, this can lead to expensive repairs. Paving contractors can help repair asphalt damage and keep your driveway or parking lot looking good for years to come. They are a great option for homeowners and business owners who want to ensure their property looks its best and lasts long.

Whether you need to fix a crack or have your driveway seal coated, you should always look for a qualified contractor. This means the company should be licensed and insured to work on your driveway or parking lot. The company should also be able to provide you with references from past customers. Ideally, they should have a website that shows off pictures of their completed projects. If the company can’t provide you with any references, this is a red flag, and you should move on to another paving contractor.

When a paving contractor provides you with a quote, they should be able to explain the process of asphalt paving and what it entails. This should include removing any existing surface and preparing the soil or base for laying the asphalt. The asphalt is then poured and compacted using heavy equipment. The edge of the pavement should be sealed with a protective coating to prevent moisture from seeping in and destroying the surface.

After a new paved surface is installed, your paving contractor should provide you with a maintenance plan to help protect the investment. They will explain the recommended frequency of asphalt repair and sealcoating as well as other maintenance steps such as cleaning, sanding, and power washing. They will also recommend any other services that might benefit your paved surface.

A common mistake that non-professionals make when applying a seal coat to their own paved surfaces is not waiting for the surface to fully dry before reopening it to traffic. This can cause the seal coat to degrade quickly and expose your pavement to additional damage. A paving contractor will understand this and make sure that your paved surface is ready for traffic before they begin the application process.

Driveway paving can be a very expensive project, which is why you should only hire an experienced paving contractor to complete the job. They will have the proper skillset, excavation & planning team, and machinery to get the job done right. In addition, a quality paving contractor will use only the highest quality materials to ensure your driveway or parking lot will last for years.
