A quality asphalt construction company knows that a parking lot’s aggregate subbase layer should never be under six inches thick. Hiring the wrong company can result in your commercial construction project having a subpar parking lot. This can have a significant impact on your business.
A low-quality parking lot will have increased maintenance costs while making a poor first impression on customers. Avoid the pitfalls of lousy asphalt by following this guide to choosing the best company.
License
Any business you work with should have a license and insurance in good standing. These are signs the business is a legitimate one. You need a business you can trust to file the necessary building permits.
Experience
Look at how long the company has been in business. The longer the company has operated, the more experience it has.
In addition, the more likely it is a high-quality business. A company that does poor-quality work will get a reputation and not be in business long.
Professional Reputation
Ask around to find out about an asphalt contractor’s professional reputation. Commercial construction runs on tight budgets and timelines. The company you hire for your asphalt works must have a professional reputation.
References can provide you with insight into the company’s past work. Ask about communication, timeliness, and level of professionalism.

Your beautiful new parking lot won’t last forever. Eventually, it will need maintenance and repair.

Materials and Methods Used
There are many asphalt paving mixes and methods. The one used for your parking lot should be ideal for your climate and intended use. An experienced asphalt contractor will know what mix to use for each commercial project.
In addition, how well a parking lot lasts heavily depends on the base’s quality. There are multiple options for base materials used and their layer thickness. The person you meet with should be able to explain the best base layer design for your project and why.
Cost
A crucial part of the contractor selection process is bidding. Create a short list of asphalt companies that look promising. Request a project quote from each of them.
Compare the quotes to find the best quality company for a price you can afford. Pay attention to the quote’s details and not just the final price. The lowest bid may look appealing until you see that it includes low-quality materials and labor shortcuts.
Warranty
Ask a potential asphalt construction company if they offer a warranty for their work. A quality company will have confidence in their work and provide a warranty for the completed project.
