Asphalt Repair Repair in Darien, CT

By All Star Paving

Thursday, November 5th, 2015

We were scheduled to give service to a homeowner in Darien. The homeowner hired All Star Paving & Sealing to do his Darien Asphalt repair for his driveway. The driveway had become uneven in several spots, and cracks were also present. The crew arrived promptly as scheduled, and started the repairs. The crew finished the repairs, then had the customer look over the driveway. We explained to the customer that if he had sealcoating applied to his driveway it would protect the asphalt driveway, and it would protect the driveway from cracks and other issues so the customer asked us to proceed and sealcoat the driveway. The crew returned the following day to do the sealcoating. The sealcoating was completed, and the customer looked at it and couldn’t believe the difference. The customer said the driveway looks brand new. We asked him where he heard about All Star Paving, and he said he found us when he searched on Google. He asked us did we know that there was so many great feedback from past customers. The customer returned online and left us a review that said, “The All Star Paving did an excellent job on my driveway. I hired them to do repairs, then added sealcoating. The driveway looks great. The crew were professional, qualified, and my driveway has never looked this good, ever. Thank you.”

How Can I Tell If A Quality Job Was Performed On My Asphalt Project?

By All Star Paving

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

Quality work is expected when it comes to your asphalt project. Asphalt that is done with quality can provide a life expectancy of over ten years for the homeowner. How do you know if your asphalt project was done with the quality it needs to last long? A homeowner can check the asphalt project and see if quality and care was used on the asphalt.

When the contractor and employees show up to do the asphalt project, it is important that they remain professional. They should all work and conduct themselves in a proper, professional manner. The workers should not slack, but work throughout the day, minus their breaks and lunch. The workers should make sure that they keep the property clean and safe while working.

The asphalt employees will start by clearing the area to prepare it for the asphalt. The asphalt will be laid and the employees will then compact the asphalt. Once these steps are completed, the employees will tie off the asphalt so that nobody walks or drives on the asphalt. The employees will clean up and pack up everything, and the contractor will have you come out and check the asphalt.

The asphalt should look smooth without any bumps with a black color to surface. There will be no cracks or holes in the asphalt. The contractor may come out and check the asphalt again the next day. After a few days, the asphalt should be very firm and hard. Walk across the asphalt to make sure that it feels sturdy. If there are not any weak places or cracks, then the project was done with quality.

Let a month go by, then check the asphalt again. Is the asphalt still crack free? Does water run off the asphalt, or does it stand on top of the asphalt? If you notice the water runs off, then the asphalt has been installed properly.

If all of these details are positive, then the asphalt project was done with high quality and craftsmanship. The contractor has supplied you with quality asphalt and work. The asphalt will just need to be maintained to provide a long life. This is your job as the homeowner! Keep the asphalt free of cracks and holes. Also make sure to have the seal coating applied every three years for your asphalt to truly last.

What Questions Should Be Asked Of An Asphalt Contractor?

By All Star Paving

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014

Asking questions to an asphalt contractor is just as important as asking questions to a lawyer before you hire them. You would want to make sure the lawyer is qualified to handle your case before they are hired to take your case. You surely wouldn’t want to just take his word for it when it comes to his qualifications! The same goes for an asphalt contractor. An asphalt contractor can answer your questions in order for you to decide if they are the right contractor for your asphalt project.

Top Five Questions to Ask an Asphalt Contractor:

How long have you been in business?
Do you have insurance?
Are you licensed?
Do you have references?
Do you offer a guarantee?

Why are these top five questions important to ask an asphalt contractor? These five questions will give you a clue into knowing if the asphalt contractor is a qualified and experienced contractor. If the contractor has been in business five years, ten years or less than one year, then this says something about the contractor. A contractor that has been in business five or more years plans on staying in business. They are conducting business around your area and can also provide references for you to call. It doesn’t mean an asphalt contractor that has been in business less than one year is shady – everyone has to start somewhere. Maybe that contractor has worked for another well-known asphalt contractor that will give a good, honest evaluation on that particular contractor.

Having insurance and a license is very important, which is why this is one of the most important questions to ask. You never want to allow any contractor on your property to do any work unless they are insured. If anyone were to get hurt or your property was damaged, then the contractor has no insurance. Guess who is stuck with that bill? You are. Never take a chance with a contractor who doesn’t have insurance! A license that is obtained by the contractor will let you know the contractor is serious enough about their profession to be licensed.

Finding out if there is a guarantee that accompanies their work is also necessary for you to know. If anything were to go wrong with the asphalt project, then you would want this repaired. If there is no guarantee, you will have to pay to have the repair work done. The contractor can give you a guarantee for the asphalt project.

These are the top five questions that should be asked by every homeowner looking to have an asphalt project completed. A qualified asphalt contractor will gladly ask your questions. Don’t ever be afraid to ask questions to anyone you are hiring for projects around your home, as it can end up saving you money in the long run.

What Determines The Price Of An Asphalt Project?

By All Star Paving

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

Knowing how contractors calculate and determine the price of an asphalt project will allow you to know what to expect when planning an asphalt project. There is more to the completion of a successful asphalt project than what most consumers may realize. The asphalt is a very detail-oriented project that consists of materials, equipment, employees, and much more. To find out what determines the price of an asphalt project, take a look into how contractors calculate and determine the costs.

The first thing that will determine the price of an asphalt project is the price of crude oil and other petroleum based products. These products are needed to perform an asphalt project. When the price of crude oil drastically increases, the price of the asphalt project will also be higher.
The total square footage of the driveway will determine the cost. A smaller driveway will cost less than a larger driveway. If the driveway or area where the asphalt will be installed needs to be prepped for the asphalt, this process will also be considered. The area has to have an excellent draining system before the asphalt is laid so the asphalt will hold up. If the area needs to have an excavation done, then this will also add to the cost of the asphalt.
The equipment will be considered in the price, including how many trucks and heavy equipment is needed to install the asphalt.
How many employees will be needed for the asphalt project? The contractor will determine how many employees they will need to do the project.
The materials such as rock, sand, and asphalt cement will be calculated for the project.

This is just a small glimpse on how a contractor will determine the cost of an asphalt project. There are so many factors that have to be considered. Any contractor that quotes a bid of $2 a square foot can’t be an honest contractor. There is no way a contractor estimate your project without seeing and inspecting the area where the asphalt will be installed, so always be on alert if this happens to you.

To know the exact price of an asphalt project, have a professional contractor come to your home. Let the contractor go over the area, then calculate what the price will be. Make sure the contractor give you a written bid for the asphalt project, but don’t stop there! Call a different contractor to get a separate bid to compare the first bid to. If there isn’t much difference in the price, then you most likely have two professional contractors that are more than capable of doing your asphalt project. The hard decision is selecting the best contractor.

How Long Should My Asphalt Driveway Last?

By All Star Paving

Friday, April 18th, 2014

How long should an asphalt driveway last? This is one of the first questions that many potential clients are asking.

There is no set year on how long an asphalt driveway can last. There are many things that come into play to determine exactly how long your asphalt can last. Choosing to have asphalt laid at your home is an excellent choice and knowing what, when, and how to deal with asphalt can and will keep the asphalt driveway lasting for years.

When an asphalt driveway has been properly installed by a professional contractor, the asphalt will typically last 25-30 years. When a professional contractor does their job correctly and the homeowner does their part in taking care of the asphalt driveway, there is no reason your asphalt surface should not last 30 years!

If the asphalt driveway is an overlay and also installed by a professional contractor, then the life of this specific asphalt surface can last 10-15 years depending on the current condition of the original pavement underneath the overlay.

When new asphalt has been installed, the surface will appear black, but it can also carry a different finish in areas of the asphalt. The different areas are just different sized stones and sand distributed throughout the surface. The different appearance will not have any effect on the performance of the asphalt, it will still look great and provide endurance.

To keep the asphalt always looking great and providing durability, regular maintenance is required. If you don’t want to mess with the maintenance, the best option would be to contact the professional contractor who installed the asphalt driveway. They will gladly come out and do the maintenance for you. Some of the maintenance involved includes applying a sealer every three years to provide a nice looking asphalt driveway and longer coverage. Some minor cracks can form in the asphalt, but your contractor will fill the cracks, restoring the asphalt to appear as good as brand new again.

It is a good idea to have the contractor come out at least once a year to look over the new asphalt driveway. The contractor can make sure the asphalt driving is looking great and functioning properly. If there is a problem, your contractor will discuss your options. Always remember that if you take care of your asphalt, it will take care of you.
