Warranty Information

All work performed comes with a standard 12-month workmanship & materials warranty. Although other companies may offer longer warranties, it all comes down to the following. Materials are provided by the use of computerized asphalt plants to guarantee consistency of asphalt cement, heat, and various mixtures of aggregates. Workmanship means asphalt thickness is as designated, along with proper compaction and drainage at the time of installation. Industry standards include the possibility of 1/4" ponding of water that may occur if grades are below minimum asphalt standards of .25 per foot pitch. If there is any standing water after a 24 hour period this constitutes a drainage issue and will be addressed. Warranties do not include acts of nature, ( cracks, breakage, settling, heaving or unraveling). Underground wires, utilities, culverts, weeds, tree roots and inadequate sub-base installation are some other causes of asphalt failure not covered under warranty.

All warranties are subject to the conditions and terms of the contract. We live in a climate where frost is in and out of the ground several times each year. This movement of the ground can result in low spots, high spots and other problems in the sub-base that may not have been present at the time of installation of the asphalt. These areas may heave and settle many times during winter cycles, or may not occur for several years. Customer will be responsible for all base, sub-base and soil testing costs not included in surface weight testing. Grade and pave proposals only include surface weight test as per the ability of the top surface to withstand paving equipment up to 72,000 lbs. and do not include core samples of sub-base.

We are not responsible for any damage to concrete, paver bricks, garage floors, treated or stained concrete, sidewalks or existing asphalt, caused by equipment crossing, rolling, driving, or normal installation is not covered although we make every effort to be as careful as possible.
