Question 1

What types of paving services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our services cover both residential and commercial paving needs, including driveways, parking lots, asphalt installation, resurfacing, gravel driveways, repairs, and comprehensive drainage solutions. We're equipped to handle various paving requirements for properties throughout Eastern Connecticut and surrounding areas.

Question 2

How long will my new asphalt driveway or parking lot last?

Accepted Answer

With appropriate care and upkeep, your asphalt surface can remain in good condition for more than 10 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including local climate conditions, traffic volume, drainage effectiveness, and regular maintenance practices such as routine inspections and general surface upkeep.

Question 3

How long does a paving project take?

Accepted Answer

For a typical residential driveway, we can usually complete the work within 1-2 days, depending on the size and current conditions. Commercial projects are more variable, potentially requiring anywhere from several days to several weeks based on the project scope and weather conditions.

Question 4

How soon can I drive or park on new asphalt?

Accepted Answer

Pedestrian traffic is generally safe after 24 hours of installation. However, we recommend keeping vehicles off the new asphalt for 4-7 days to allow proper curing. Larger vehicles like heavy trucks may need to wait longer to prevent damage to the new surface.

Question 5

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

We do provide complimentary, no-obligation estimates for all potential projects. Our team will visit your site to evaluate the specific requirements before providing you with a detailed quote for the work.

Question 6

What affects the cost of paving?

Accepted Answer

Several factors determine the final cost of your paving project: the total square footage, required asphalt thickness, condition of the existing surface, any necessary drainage improvements, current material costs, and how easily our equipment can access your site.

Question 7

Will new paving fix drainage issues?

Accepted Answer

Proper grading is an integral part of our paving process. We carefully design the surface to direct water away from buildings and prevent pooling, effectively addressing many common drainage concerns during the installation.

Question 8

Do you handle permits?

Accepted Answer

Some projects require permits depending on local regulations. We'll advise you about the specific requirements in your town and can assist with the necessary documentation to ensure your project complies with all local codes.

Question 9

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

We maintain comprehensive liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and all required state licensing. This provides complete protection and peace of mind for both our clients and our team throughout the paving process.

Question 10

What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

We exclusively use high-quality commercial-grade asphalt mixtures specifically selected for your project's anticipated traffic volume and local environmental conditions, ensuring durability and longevity for your paved surface.
