The
summer months are a very popular time for homeowners to complete
paving projects around the home – whether that means a driveway,
sidewalk, basketball court, or patio. Before you dive into your next
paving project, consider these five factors:
Permits
Asphalt paving requires heavy machinery, and will will require a
permit from your town. Research your local laws and ordinances before
beginning your project to make sure you aren't breaking any laws.
Sealcoat, Resurfacing, or Repaving?
If you are repairing your asphalt driveway, it is worth into looking
into all three options. Sealcoating is the cheapest and quickest, but
it is not effective at repairing large cracks. Repaving on the other
hand, will give you a brand new driveway, but it is the most
time-consuming and expensive option.
Drainage Solution
If you are a regular reader of our blog, you know that water is one
of asphalt's biggest enemies. In order to prevent your new surface
from prematurely deteriorating, it is essential to have a sufficient
draining system planned out and properly installed.
Materials
Your driveway is only as durable as the materials you use to build
it. Using low-cost materials in an effort to save money will only
wind up costing you more in the long run.
Contractor
The best materials in the world won't be effective if they are not
properly installed. Choosing the right contractor is the most
important decision you will have to make during the paving process.
Here are some qualities to look for to help you separate the good
from the bad.
