General Asphalt Questions
What is the difference between asphalt and concrete?
Asphalt is more flexible and cost-effective than concrete, making it
better suited for areas with temperature changes like Delaware and
nearby Maryland. It also installs faster and is easier to maintain.
How long does asphalt take to cure?
Asphalt can typically be used within 24 to 48 hours, but full curing
takes several months. During this time, avoiding heavy loads and sharp
turns helps protect the surface.
Is asphalt environmentally friendly?
Asphalt is one of the most recycled materials in the country. Old asphalt
can be reused in new pavement, making it a sustainable choice.
Pricing & Estimates
What factors affect the cost of asphalt paving?
Pricing depends on project size, base condition, drainage requirements,
and site accessibility. Every property is different, so estimates are
based on an on-site evaluation.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for residential and
commercial projects throughout our service areas.
Process & Preparation
How should I prepare my property before paving?
Vehicles should be removed from the area and access cleared for equipment.
Any special preparation requirements will be discussed during the estimate.
How long will my property be inaccessible?
Most residential projects are completed within a day. Larger commercial
projects may take longer, and timelines are communicated in advance.
Maintenance & Longevity
How can I extend the life of my asphalt surface?
Routine maintenance such as crack repair, sealcoating every few years,
and addressing drainage issues early helps extend pavement life.
How often should asphalt be inspected?
Asphalt should be inspected at least once per year or after severe weather
to catch small issues before they worsen.
