Michigan Asphalt Paving Contractors

What is asphalt?

Asphalt concrete or "asphalt" as it is normally known to the laymen is a composite material typically used by Michigan Asphalt Paving Contractors for driveways, parking lots and highways. The asphalt is used as a binder
mixed together with an aggregate which is then laid down in layers and compacted. This is not cement, which is an ingredient of conventional concrete.

Tip: Asphalt is one of the indispensable materials of life in America. Want proof? Think about the fact that 94 percent of the paved roads in America are surfaced with asphalt.

Is Your Asphalt Driveway or Parking Lot In Need of Paving?

If you are a business, homeowner or both and your driveway, parking lot, street, etc. needs to be paved due to the varying weather conditions (such as ice, snow and salt) it is important that you find a reputable Michigan Asphalt Paving Company that will do a quality, competent job. Although most states have strict expected specifications for larger conrtract jobs and the oversight of trained inspectors and technical expertise the smaller businesses and private homeowners don't have this luxury.

Here are some tips on select a reliable, competent michigan asphalt paving contractor:

1. Select a contractor known for high-quality work and that has an established reputation in the community.

2. Verify the contractor's insurance coverage (and licensing if required in your state).

3. If you obtain proposals from more than one contractor, ensure that all are bidding on the same type of mix and construction. In order that true and valid comparisons can be made, all proposals should cover the same quantities of materials.

4. When discussing a paving project, be sure that the thickness agreed upon is finished compacted thickness.

5. Visit pavement projects by the prospective contractor(s) and talk with the owners of the projects about their satisfaction.

6. Insist on a written contract or agreement, (in many states you have no rights without one) in addition a written guarantee offered by the contractor.

Tip: If you are unable to verify references and reputation and you still want to use them, if possible, make provision to retain some portion of the payment due the contractor until there is complete satisfaction with the quality of the finished driveway or project. It is customary for payment for smaller projects to be due "upon completion". However retaining a portion of final payment for 15-30 days would not be unheard of if a contractor can't provide references of his reputation for quality.
