Frequently asked questions about services

The process usually takes two days. The first day is reserved for removing the old asphalt, re-grading the driveway, installing gravel, and any excavation if required. The second day is reserved for re-compacting the gravel base and asphalt paving. We recommend refraining from driving for 3-4 days, excluding the asphalt paving day. However, depending on the base conditions, additional days may be necessary to allow for proper gravel settling and for village inspection if required. You can drive on the existing gravel base to help further compact it. However, be cautious as aggressive driving may ruin the established grade and cause the inspection to fail.

Most towns require a permit, which involves taking your Plat of Survey and our contract to the village to fill out a form to obtain the permit. There is usually a fee when applying, which is the homeowner’s responsibility. However, if you are in an unincorporated area, you may not require a permit. It is recommended that you check with your local authorities to confirm. Once our paving contractors team receives the permit, we can schedule your project. The permit should be displayed on a window or any visible location for the inspector to see. Please provide a picture or copy of the permit to the project coordinator.

Usually, there are two inspections. The first inspection is scheduled on the first day when the old driveway is removed and any necessary preparation is done. Premier Paving contractors team will call for the first base inspection, and the inspector will come out to ensure that the gravel is at the proper grade and has been compacted correctly. The second inspection is after the asphalt paving, to ensure that the work is being done properly.

Yes, we are fully insured for commercial, municipal, and residential services. Our paving contractors are also protected by worker’s compensation. If you require a certificate of insurance, please let us know.
We have been in business since 2005, and our crews have extensive combined experience.
The cost of dirt, rocks, and landscaping is not included in the project’s price, and an additional charge will apply unless otherwise specified in the contract.

We take all precautions to ensure proper positive pitch away from the house and garage, following the natural grade of the property. If there are problematic areas, our paving contractors crew will discuss them with the homeowner.

To ensure a smooth transition from your garage to your newly installed driveway, it is recommended that your garage door be open and accessible during asphalt paving service. For this purpose, we require approximately 6-8 feet of space from your garage door. In case you are not home, leaving your garage door opener or providing us with the code to the garage is what most customers usually do.

During the installation process, our employees will need a few feet on each side of the driveway to set and hand-tamp the edges properly. We will be careful not to damage any surrounding landscaping.

Once the driveway is completed, please avoid parking in the same spot on the driveway, turning tires while stopped, or having any sharp objects in the same spot (e.g. motorcycle kickstand, jacks, trailer jacks, etc.). These actions can cause divots, particularly in the hot summer months.

Premier Paving carries several gauges of wire to re-connect an invisible fence line on-site if it is damaged during the project. There is no reconnection fee for this minor fix, but the homeowner needs to notify the project coordinator if they have an invisible dog fence.

Relocating and replacing sprinkler heads are not included in the pricing. Premier Paving Contractors encourage homeowners to call their local sprinkler company if there is an extension to the driveway and the sprinkler will be affected, and they can coordinate with them.

Yes, for the first two years, driveway sealcoating service is essential. The first time should be approximately 90 days after asphalt paving to ensure proper curing time and the following year. After that, the driveway should be seal-coated every other year. If sealcoating is not maintained, the driveway may crack and not last as long as it should.

Backfill dirt or landscaping is not included in the pricing, but can be quoted and provided by subcontractors or local landscape companies.

Yes, the asphalt is hand tamped at sidewalks, garages, concrete slabs, curbs, brick pavers, etc. If surfaces are below or higher than the proper grade, homeowners will be notified prior to asphalt paving service to avoid tripping hazards.

Yes, a list of references with addresses can be provided. With permission from the requested addresses, Premier Paving can also arrange for direct contact in your area.
Yes, we offer a warranty on our projects. The warranty section can be found on the proposal/contract.

I had some cracks in my driveway that needed to be filled, and I called this company. They were able to come out quickly and the job was done in no time. The cracks are now completely filled and my driveway looks much better. Great service!
