A good quality asphalt paving contractor can last easily over a decade while a substandard asphalt pavement will start degrading in a year or so.
Choosing the right paving contractor is of utmost importance, since having a parking lot or road paved, either for commercial or residential property, is a big investment.
Here are 5 questions to ask your asphalt paving contractor before hiring them for your project.
Work experience: How long have you have been paving?
A company with a longer experience expected to provide a better-quality pavement as compared to a recent startup simply because older companies have more know-how.
The proper equipment and investment to get the job done.
But keeping in mind that not every company with a long tenure in the field does not also mean they will provide you with great quality service and end product.
As a customer doing your due diligence is your responsibility.
Other projects: See what other projects have been completed.
Ask the contractor about the projects they have completed nearby your area.
Your contractor pleased to provide a list and photos of their projects if indeed they say what they actually do.
Another way is by visiting their website and checking their work portfolio seeing if those local customers are happy with the service provided to them.
You can analyze through the website pictures.
Possibly drive over (if you can) to the public places to have a look at the results for yourself.
Insurance and license: Are you licensed and insured? Are you accredited with the Better Business Bureau?
The contractor you hire must meet all the legal requirements. The company must insured and meet the licensing requirements.
They must accredited with Better Business Bureau for two reasons:
-
- Accountability: Accreditation with Better Business Bureau raises the level of accountability.
- Registered complaints: You can check the number and intensity of registered complaints against the contractor by visiting the website of Better Business Bureau.
Timeline:How long will my paving project take??
You must ask your contractor to provide a timeline for the completion of project.
Your contractor must assure you that they have the necessary resources to get the job done timely without any delays.
Material Selection:Is asphalt or concrete best for my project?
Of course, you didn’t supposed to know the answer.
It is the responsibility of paving contractor to analyze the situation and select the better suited material and explain their selection.

Wow, it really helped when you suggested we take a look at a contractor’s past projects before hiring. Last week, my sister said that she wants to pave her driveway before summer. I’d like to help my sister find a reliable contractor for the job, so I’ll share your tips with her for sure. Thank you so much for the advice on asphalt paving contractors and how to interview one.
