Frequently Asked Questions

The simple answer is yes. The longer a crack goes unfilled, the more likely water will leak in and cause further damage. There are plenty of techniques you can try at home to repair cracks, or you contact a professional paving company to help with the process.

There are a number of things that you have to take into consideration. First, your asphalt is outdoors and gets hit by sun, water, hail, chemicals, and other harsh substances that over time cause deterioration. The best way to maintain your investment is with sealcoating.

Sealcoating is a protectant that covers your asphalt and minimizes the damage caused by these hazards. When a new driveway or parking lot is installed, you should schedule an initial sealcoating for 90 days later. Afterward, sealcoating should be completed every two years.

When you are looking to hire a paving company in York and Adams County, make sure you ask questions. Are they quoting a one-inch overlay or two-inch overlay? Are they quoting a patch or (full depth) patches? We specify construction parameters using the best methods to install or repair asphalt paving. This gives you the longest life for your pavement.

Every job is different. This is an important question to ask when you request quotes from paving contractors.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality work while using innovative problem-solving solutions, construction methods, honesty, integrity, and reliability.

Even the best surfaces are subject to the wear and tear caused by time, weather, and traffic. No paved surface is a permanent solution. By undertaking a program of planned pavement maintenance, you can save money in the long run.

Your pavement surface will remain sound, usable, and safe. Extensive downtime needed to repair deep cracks and potholes will be reduced or eliminated. Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of existing pavements, and it will help to protect your paving investment.

There are many ways to ensure you pick the right contractor for your driveway. Any reputable contractor will willingly share customer reviews with you. Go with an asphalt contractor that has years of experience. Not only will they know what best to do for your situation, but their longevity also speaks volumes to their trustworthiness.

Simply put, you don’t. Paving a driveway properly requires years of experience and know-how. This is a job best left to professionals. A trusted paving contractor will ensure you have the proper base, the appropriate thickness, and uses the correct materials to ensure you have a driveway that lasts for years to come.

Asphalt driveways typically cost less than concrete, costing $3.50 – $4.50 per square foot. Bear in mind that asphalt prices tend to fluctuate as crude oil prices change. In contrast, a concrete driveway will cost between $4.00 – $6.00 per square foot for a typical installation.

The granular base used on residential driveways is typically 6-8 inches thick. The top asphalt coating can be 2 to 3 inches thick. This is perfectly acceptable for the typical traffic and weight of the vehicles a residential driveway will see.

Sealcoating protects your asphalt driveway from deterioration. Asphalt driveways break down overtime from natural elements like sunshine and rain as well as harsh chemicals from leaking cars and trucks. Sealcoating and crack filling are often misunderstood processes in the paving industry. We often find customers think their driveway will be smooth and level with no visible cracks after sealcoating. This is a great description of resurfacing a driveway but not sealcoating.

We recommend that you seal your driveway every 3 to 4 years. However, many of our customers seal their driveway every year to assure it lasts longer.

We use only the best for our valued customers – a product that lasts and will cause fewer problems in the future. That is why our company uses only a commercial grade asphalt based sealer. This sealer protects your driveway and projects a quality appearance.

Application of asphalt base sealer is not recommended in low temperatures. The temperature should be a minimum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit with the temperature rising. Temperatures above 40 degrees are ideal and should be maintained for approximately 24 hours. Material is not warranted under temperatures below 40 degrees; we urge you to exercise caution and judgment with regards to sealcoating or marking pavement in the final weeks of the season. As we are unable to warrant material applied during questionable weather conditions, we are also unable to guarantee work performed when inclement weather is forecasted.

The cost of sealcoating every driveway is different. We arrive at our prices by finding our two main variables: the square footage and the condition of the asphalt. We will be happy to provide you with a free estimate. Please call our office Monday through Saturday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. We respond promptly to all requests by sending out an estimator as soon as possible.

It is not our policy to match a competitor’s price. We have found that the service and craftsmanship we provide are superior. Our materials and workmanship reflect the highest quality standards in the paving and sealcoating industry. Residential sealcoating requires care to be taken around flower beds, sidewalks, cement, and garage doors, where sealer does not belong.
