How to Choose the Right Asphalt Company

Choosing the best company to address your asphalt and surface needs is no easy feat. There are a wealth of companies out there claiming to offer the best services for the best price, but figuring out which ones can actually back those claims is a mighty big challenge–but certainly not one that’s insurmountable with the right information.

Why the Asphalt Company You Choose is Important

Whether you’re an individual looking for a company to repave your driveway or you’re representing a large municipality or state department in need of surface repair, the asphalt company you choose is paramount to both your pocketbook and your surface’s longevity.

While it’s true that asphalt isn’t cheap, it doesn’t mean that high-quality materials and services need to break the bank. The best asphalt company will go to great lengths to make sure all of your questions are answered and your needs are addressed, and they’ll do it for a reasonable price that you’re comfortable with.

To ensure your time, money, and project are protected throughout the duration of the job, it’s critical that you employ an asphalt company that prioritizes you and your needs above all else. In order to find that company, make certain that it possesses the following qualities:

History of Happy Customers

A high-quality asphalt company will have a portfolio at the ready featuring the breadth of jobs and services they’ve provided in the past. You should have access to information about who that company has worked for and be able to see the quality of services they provided. Any company worth its salt will be happy to offer up this information and more, and if they don’t, consider it a major red flag.

Longevity of Services

Chances are, if a company delivers shoddy services at unfair prices, they’re not going to stay in business very long. So, if you want to feel confident that your asphalt company delivers quality services and fair prices, then look at how long they’ve been in business. Contractor’s Asphalt has been thriving in Austin for decades and we have years’ worth of happy and satisfied customers to thank for that.

Company Ownership

No one wants to feel like just another cog in a massive corporate wheel. Folks looking for asphalt services want to feel like people—people with unique needs, desires and limitations. In all likelihood, big asphalt corporations won’t be able to give you and your project the time and attention it deserves. On the other hand, a family-owned business means you’ll be working directly with the people who have a high stake in your project, so they’ll be more inclined to ensure your every need is met, and met well.

Reviews and Reputation

We’re fortunate to live in an age where consumers like you have quick and easy access to a company’s reviews and reputation online, so take advantage of it! Do your research and seek out companies that have a wealth of positive reviews from happy customers. Then take it a step further and check out the Better Business Bureau to see their overall score and to be sure there aren’t any formal complaints against the company’s practices and services.

Quality of Equipment and Materials

There are many options in terms of equipment and materials an asphalt company can use to get the job done. Some will charge you exorbitant prices but use subpar materials, while others use dated or low-quality equipment that will shorten the lifespan of your surface. That said, make sure the company you choose to service your project is one that’s committed to using top-of-the-line equipment and only the highest quality materials.

Experienced Professionals

Last but certainly not least, you want to be sure that the professionals working on your project have plenty of experience under their belts. An asphalt specialist with years of experience has already solved a wide range of problems and overcome any number of obstacles, so they’ll be able to address anything that comes up in your project with ease and professionalism. That’s why Contractor’s Asphalt takes so much pride in our 75 years of combined experience—there’s no challenge, obstacle or problem that we can’t overcome.
