Paving the Way — Your Way

How much time do you think you spend on pavement each day? You have to count all the time you're driving — unless you're driving on dirt roads. You also have to count the time you spend walking across parking lots. Pavement is really important. That much is clear. Since pavement is so important, we thought we would start a blog to write a little more about pavement and pavement contractors. They deserve mention, too. They have a hard job and one that requires quite a lot of skill. We'll explain some of the skill behind pavement work on this blog, and we'll also dive into other related topics.

Don't Wait Until Spring: 4 Important Reasons To Pave Your Asphalt Driveway This Winter

If your asphalt driveway is looking a bit worse for wear, it might be time to have it repaved. Now that winter is here, you might think that it's too late to pave your driveway. However, that's not necessarily the case. If the weather is still relatively dry, and you haven't experienced any snow yet, you still have time to have your asphalt paved. This is especially true if you're dealing with extenuating circumstances. Read the list provided below. If you're dealing with any of the issues described here, it's time for asphalt paving

You're Ready to Sell Your Home

If you've decided to sell your home this winter, and your driveway diminishes your home's curb appeal, you don't have time to wait until the weather warms up. You might not realize this, but a damaged driveway can pose a couple of problems when you're trying to sell your home. First, the damage can affect the value of your home, which means you might not get your asking price. Second, a damaged driveway can be a distraction for prospective buyers, which means they might look elsewhere for their dream home. If you're ready to sell your home this winter, start by paving your driveway. 

Your Asphalt Won't Last Until Spring

If your driveway is in disrepair, and you're expecting a winter filled with snow and ice, don't wait until spring to repave the asphalt. Your driveway already takes a beating each winter, especially where snow shovels and deicing agents are concerned. If you try removing snow from an already-damaged driveway, you might end up facing costlier repairs come spring. To make sure your driveway survives the winter snow and ice, have the asphalt repaired right away. 

You're Having Guests in for the Holidays

If you're having guests in for the holidays, and your driveway is covered in cracks, crevices, and potholes, now's the time to hire a paving contractor. Each one of those cracks, crevices, and potholes is the potential for a personal liability claim, especially if those issues cause a trip and fall accident. Not only that, but the potholes could cause damage to cars. Before one of your guests injures themselves on your driveway during the holidays, hire a paving contractor to repave your driveway. 

You've Gotten Complaints From the HOA

Finally, if you've gotten complaints from the HOA regarding the condition of your driveway, you can't afford to wait until spring for the repairs. Once your HOA issues the warning, you only have a certain amount of time to set things right. Before you're faced with HOA penalties and fines, have your asphalt driveway repaved.
