Our Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we visit your property for a free estimate and assess your specific situation. We’ll discuss whether asphalt or concrete makes more sense for your needs, budget, and timeline. We measure everything and explain what the project involves.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle all the prep work. This means proper excavation to the right depth, grading for drainage, and installing a solid base. Most driveway problems start with shortcuts during preparation—we don’t take shortcuts.

The paving itself happens quickly once the foundation is ready. For asphalt driveways, we use hot-mix asphalt applied with professional equipment. Concrete projects get properly mixed and finished concrete with the right curing time. We clean up completely and walk you through care instructions so your new driveway performs exactly as expected.

Our driveway paving service covers the complete project from start to finish. This includes excavation, grading, base preparation, material installation, and final cleanup. We handle both new driveway installation and driveway resurfacing for existing surfaces that need renewal.

You can choose between asphalt driveway paving for a cost-effective, durable solution or concrete driveway paving for maximum longevity and design options. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each based on your specific situation, budget, and preferences.

We also coordinate any necessary permits and ensure all work meets local codes.

Most residential driveway paving projects take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers the actual paving installation. Larger driveways or those requiring extensive prep work may need an additional day. Weather can affect timing since we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures. Once completed, you can walk on the surface immediately but should wait 24-48 hours before driving on it to allow proper curing.
Asphalt driveway paving typically costs 30-50% less upfront than concrete installation. However, concrete driveways last longer—often 30+ years versus 15-20 years for asphalt. Asphalt requires periodic sealing every 3-5 years, while concrete needs minimal maintenance. Your choice depends on budget, longevity goals, and aesthetic preferences. Asphalt offers quicker installation and easier repairs. Concrete provides more design options and better long-term value. We’ll help you calculate the total cost of ownership for both options based on your specific situation.
Sometimes, but it depends on your current driveway’s condition and thickness. If the existing surface is structurally sound with minor cracking, driveway resurfacing might work. However, if there are major cracks, settling, or drainage issues, complete removal and new installation provides better results. We evaluate each situation individually. Overlay saves money initially but may not last as long as full replacement. Poor drainage or foundation problems won’t be fixed by simply adding new material on top. We’ll assess your driveway and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value.
Asphalt driveways need sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against weather and extend life. Clean oil stains promptly and avoid using rock salt in winter—sand works better and won’t damage the surface. For concrete driveways, annual cleaning and sealing every few years helps prevent staining and weather damage. Both materials benefit from keeping drainage clear and addressing small cracks quickly before they spread. We provide specific maintenance guidelines after installation and can handle future sealcoating or repairs when needed.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections when required by Somerville regulations. Most residential driveway replacement projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, new driveways, expansions, or changes affecting drainage may need approval. We know local requirements and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate municipal offices. This includes any utility marking requirements and ensuring proper setbacks from property lines. Our experience with local codes means your project stays compliant and avoids delays.
We provide warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship, with terms varying by project type and materials used. Asphalt installations typically include 1-2 years on workmanship covering issues like premature cracking or settling due to installation problems. Concrete projects often carry longer warranty periods. Material defects are covered separately through manufacturer warranties. We address any legitimate warranty issues promptly because our reputation depends on customer satisfaction. The warranty details are clearly explained in your contract before work begins, so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.
