Paving · Scope

One question to ask about a asphalt driveway estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Do you want the mill-and-fill only, or a price to fix the low spot that holds water? Put $6,700 in the email so they know which asphalt driveway you mean.

Included and left out

Included: milling the failed asphalt and a new surface at the depth we marked. Left out: regrading the yard for drainage, and a concrete apron. Depth and the mill are the job. A thin overlay is a different, shorter-lived bid. Do not overlay a driveway that is already pumping water through the cracks.
