Asphalt Driveway Contractors (Tips on Selecting)

The following information was provided by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) at their web site www.hotmix.org:

You can find a driveway contractor by looking in the yellow pages (typical heading asphalt or paving contractors), by checking with family and friends, or by asking local builders or others in the construction industry for recommendations.

Call two or three contractors for bids so that you have a range of prices to choose from. When the contractors makes a bid, go over the entire job with them so that you both know exactly what is to be done and who will do it. Get these details in writing.

If your driveway is an overlay (the placing of a new surface on an already constructed asphalt or concrete base), the contractor will have to check any bad spots that have developed in the old pavement and their causes before putting down the overlay. It is important that all holes and trouble spots be patched and compacted correctly prior to the overlay.

Other Tips: * Ask contractors for references of any jobs you can check. * See if you can locate the firm in the phone directory. * Check with BBB. * Ask the contractor if the company is a member of an industry trade association such as NAPA. * Make sure the contract spells out such information as which party is responsible for grade establishment, preparation of subgrade, pavement compacted thickness, furnishing of equipment, materials, and labor, final job smoothness tolerances, payment schedule, and job guarantee/warranty. * Get agreement that your yard is to be returned to pre-construction condition.
