Of course, like any business, you will want to make sure that you\u2019re going to get a strong return on that investment before you commit to the project.<\/p>\n
The truth is, while an asphalt surface<\/a> is typically expected to last anywhere between 10 and 30 years, the actual life expectancy of your surface will ultimately depend on a variety of factors.<\/p>\n To start, the lifespan of your asphalt is largely determined by whether you\u2019re installing a brand new asphalt surface or merely an overlay.<\/p>\n New surfaces tend to be more durable and have the potential to last upwards of 20 years. Overlays, on the other hand, are more susceptible to deterioration and aren\u2019t likely to endure for more than 10 \u2013 15 years.<\/p>\n Another factor that is sure to impact the life of your asphalt is the traffic it sees\u2014not only the amount<\/em> of traffic but also the type<\/em> of traffic. If your asphalt surface<\/a> is only going to be used by passenger cars, it should hold up for a reasonably long time. But if you expect your surface to accommodate large loads and heavy equipment, you should anticipate its lifespan being limited as a result.<\/p>\n With asphalt, not all circumstances are equal. The way in which your asphalt is being used will have an effect on its life expectancy.<\/p>\n On one end of the spectrum, you have roads and parking lots that frequently see large amounts of heavy traffic. These surfaces have an average life of only 15 \u2013 25 years. In extreme cases, they may last for as little as 10 years.<\/p>\n On the other end of the spectrum, you have driveways that see light loads and very little traffic. These surfaces have an average life of 20 \u2013 30 years or more.<\/p>\n Finally, you also have a say in the life of your asphalt. If you treat your surface poorly, neglect cracks and potholes, and fail to schedule routine maintenance, you can expect your asphalt\u2019s lifespan to be severely limited.<\/p>\n If you commit to taking care of your asphalt, however, you can maximize the life of your surface. Here are a few ways to properly maintain your asphalt:<\/p>\n If you want a high-quality asphalt surface<\/a> that will last for decades to come, contact Danny\u2019s Asphalt Paving<\/a> today.

Hiring a contractor to perform the work is part of that preparation, so you\u2019ll want to be confident in your contractor\u2019s abilities, services, and values before making a decision.<\/p> Here are five questions you should ask your asphalt paving contractor before hiring them.<\/p> This is one of the first questions you should ask any asphalt contractor, as many contractors intentionally focus on one or two areas rather than an entire state or region.<\/p> Finding out that your preferred contractor doesn\u2019t service your area after you\u2019ve already researched their business and approved their references can be disheartening. Make sure they can service your area before you spend too much time vetting their business!<\/p> This will give you an indication of not only the contractor\u2019s experience has but also the breadth of projects the contractor has completed.<\/p> Ideally, you want to entrust your project to someone who has worked on similar projects in the past, and someone who is familiar with the challenges that your project might present.<\/p> It\u2019s important to understand how your contractor plans to complete the work and the approach they will take with your specific project.<\/p> Making sure the contractor is able to align with your business\u2019s values, work within your limitations, and give your project the attention it requires is an important next step to determining whether or not they might be a good fit.<\/p> In many cases, businesses are in need of more than only asphalt paving services. If you need concrete other types of services, bundling them with your asphalt could potentially save you both time and money on your project. Not to mention, it will allow you to work with a single contractor as opposed to multiple contractors \u2014 making coordination much easier in the long run.<\/p> At the very least, knowing what services the contractor offers could still come in handy down the road, when you need those services in a hurry or require the familiarity of a contractor you\u2019ve worked with previously.<\/p> While this is an essential question to ask, it\u2019s one that you should leave until you are confident that the asphalt contractor could be a good fit for your project.<\/p> Checking references can be a time-consuming task. Doing so before you know that the contractor can provide the right services, meet your schedule, and work within your budget will result in wasted time on your end.<\/p> Is your business in need of a top-notch paving contractor?<\/strong><\/p> Get in touch with the team here at Danny\u2019s Asphalt Paving today.
