Why you should be careful when searching for and
selecting an asphalt driveway paving contractor?

Did you know the asphalt driveway paving industry is one of the most fraudulent industries in the country? Asphalt paving scams can be found just about everywhere, even in and around the Santa Barbara area.

There’s little or virtually no regulation of asphalt driveway paving. In fact, more people are taken advantage of by unethical and inexperienced driveway paving contractors than just about any other industry.

Although, most people don’t even realize it until it’s too late!

Why?

Think about it... how many residential asphalt driveways does the average homeowner purchase in a lifetime? One? Two? Maybe three? This obviously results in most of us not being up to speed about proper asphalt driveway paving techniques. Techniques that will help to make a driveway last a lifetime, as it should.

Unethical contractors know this. They know most of us don’t understand asphalt driveway installation which makes it easier for them to try to take advantage of unsuspecting people. Additionally, they know that when we ask them questions, they can just reply with answers we want to hear rather than giving us the honest answers we need. They attempt to mislead us with simple, vague answers or deflect our attention in an attempt to earn our trust.

For instance, they’ll assure us they’ll do an excellent job for a far better price than their competitors, but conveniently leave out the most important details. Details the average person wouldn’t know or even think to ask. As a result, when they perform the job, they cut corners on quality to save time and expenses to increase profits. Of course, they do the job just good enough to last long enough to meet their so-called warranty. By the time we realize what’s happened, they’re already long gone with our hard earned money!

The end result?

Ultimately we end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars hiring asphalt repair contractors to fix and repair the poorly done job when we realize what’s happened. Possibly even worse, utilizing another asphalt paving contractor to resurface the driveway or completely remove and replace it again just to make it right.

A new blacktop or asphalt driveway that’s
installed properly and lasts a lifetime?

Or a driveway that plagues you with problems
and countless driveway repairs year after year?

Honesty And Experience Can Make The Difference

During our decades in the driveway business, we’ve seen poor asphalt driveway paving time after time! Imagine paying thousands of dollars hiring a driveway paving company in Santa Barbara only to end up with an eyesore in front of your home? Rather than pulling up to and seeing the beautiful driveway you imagined, you pull up to a beat up mess. Each time you do, you’re constantly reminded of being taken advantage of. It can happen and has too many, many homeowners.

As a result, we receive hundreds of questions about asphalt driveway installation techniques. Simultaneously, we also receive hundreds of complaints about unethical asphalt driveway paving contractors. It’s merely an industry plagued with unethical contractors.

On the other hand, unfortunately, the same problems can occur with inexperienced driveway contractors also. An inexperienced contractor may have good intentions and want to do the job right, but they just can’t perform to the level they need to to get the job done right. A poorly installed asphalt driveway due to lack of experience can cause just as many headaches and disappointment. And the problem is we still end up with a driveway that looks patched with inconsistent colors that can’t be solved even with time. Therefore, putting too much trust in an inexperienced contractor just isn’t worth it either.

But the mistake that tops them all? Hiring a driveway paving contractor who’s sole intention is to rip homeowners off! Don’t mistakenly think this doesn’t happen. It does and it will if you’re not careful.

Trusting Just Any Asphalt Driveway Company Is Just Not Worth The Risk

Ask yourself these questions?

• How can a person be positive a company has adequate experience?
• Rather than giving us the cold hard facts, how can a person be certain a contractor is not misleading us and simply telling us what we want to hear?
• Has the contractor ripped off other homeowners in the past?
• What's the best avenue to be sure they're adequately licensed?
• What is the best resource to get confirmation that a contractor is insured while they're on the job?
• How much does proper driveway paving in Santa Barbara actually cost?

These are all questions we should ask, but really have no way of knowing how or where to begin doing such research. To do such extensive background verification on a company can require a vast amount of time, money and resources.

However, even then, with little or no knowledge of asphalt driveway paving, there's just no guarantee that the job will turn out right. Especially if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.
