What to write when a asphalt driveway price goes quiet
If $6,700 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Why the number is the number
Depth and the mill are the job. A thin overlay is a different, shorter-lived bid. The bid includes milling the failed asphalt and a new surface at the depth we marked.
What you can take out
The line you can remove is regrading the yard for drainage, and a concrete apron. Do not overlay a driveway that is already pumping water through the cracks. Paving estimates sit until the weather window, or until an overlay bid shows up cheaper than a mill-and-fill.

What is in the asphalt driveway price
Hi Sharon, If $6,700 for the asphalt driveway looks high, here is what it covers: milling the failed asphalt and a new surface at the depth we marked. I can take out regrading the yard for drainage, and a concrete apron and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same. Thanks, Derek Holt Holt Paving
