Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt & Paving Services in Morris County

Q: Which paving services do you provide?

A: We specialize in all aspects of asphalt work for homes, businesses, and municipalities in Morris County – from driveway installations and parking lot paving to resurfacing, protective sealcoating, and fixing potholes.

Q: What's the typical completion time for paving work?

A: Each project's timeline depends on its size. Most home driveways take just 1-2 days, while bigger jobs like commercial lots might need a week or more. We'll outline your specific timeline before starting.

Q: When can I start using my new pavement?

Walking on the surface is fine after one day. For driving, please wait 3 days. Heavy vehicles should stay off the pavement for 30 days to allow proper curing.

Q: How does asphalt compare to concrete paving?

A: Asphalt brings several advantages – it's more affordable, installs faster, handles cold better, and offers more flexibility. Concrete works well in hot areas, lasts longer, and gives you more design choices.

Q: How long does a professionally installed asphalt surface last?

A: With proper installation and maintenance, you can expect significant longevity from your asphalt surface. Residential driveways typically last 15-20 years, while commercial parking lots can serve 15-25 years or longer. Several factors influence lifespan:

  • Quality of initial installation and materials
  • Regular maintenance and sealcoating schedule
  • Local climate and exposure conditions
  • Traffic volume and vehicle types
  • Proper drainage and water management

Q: What's the best season for paving installation?

A: In New Jersey's climate, spring through fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt installation. We recommend scheduling projects when:

  • Ground temperatures remain above 50 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Weather forecasts show dry conditions
  • Overnight temperatures stay moderate
  • Seasonal rain is less frequent

Q: What's the ideal schedule for sealcoating?

A: We suggest sealcoating every 2-3 years to maintain protection, though this can shift based on weather exposure and usage level.
