Installing an asphalt driveway or parking lot boosts your curb appeal and increases your property's value. The versatility of asphalt surfaces compared to other paving options makes it popular for commercial and residential paving. But to get the most out of your asphalt paving project, you must work with professional asphalt paving contractors.

Even though your pavements meet high-quality installation thresholds, time and nature cause depreciation and weathering. You must act fast to restore the functionality and shine on your asphalt driveway or parking lot. If you know when to call a paving contractor, you can extend the lifespan of your asphalt surfaces and make your property desirable to potential buyers and tenants. Here are situations that require an asphalt paving contractor.

You Have A New Building

If you've completed new construction, the chances are that you want a stunning exterior complete with a driveway and parking lot. Designing and installing asphalt driveways or parking lots isn't the average DIY undertaking. There's elaborate site preparation work, sub-base, soil compaction, and drainage planning that needs evaluation. 

If you engage a skilled paving contractor, they configure and supervise the installation based on your needs. Experienced asphalt paving contractors consider the foot and vehicle traffic, lay of the land, space, and quality of materials before commencing the project. The contractor knows the best weather condition for the installation, and they reinforce your drives to guarantee longevity.

Your Driveway Is Damaged And Crack Infested

Your asphalt driveway starts depreciating as soon as it's installed. Potholes, alligator cracks, block cracking, and crumbling edges can affect the driveway's usability and safety. To avoid the steep costs of replacing asphalt, you must call a skilled asphalt paving contractor as soon as you notice minor issues. These technicians inspect the extent of damage and determine the best cause of action. If some sections have sunk and water is pooling, they can be remediated using hot mix leveling or sealing.

The  Driveway Is Faded

Nothing defaces your shiny asphalt driveway surface more than UV rays. With time, exposure to the sun changes the driveway into a drab-looking gray surface. Luckily, you can restore the shine by resurfacing or seal coating the surface. A professional paving contractor inspects the surface to ensure it's not just a cosmetic issue. If the surface is brittle from heat exposure, spills, or acid rain, the contractor can recommend liquid rubber sealants or coal tar emulsion to buffer the surface and restore its blacktop shine.
