| Description: | For their driveways, most homeowners choose concrete because it's very robust and almost maintenance-free. Moreover, concrete foundations appear to last far longer than asphalt, which normally only needs to be fixed within a few years. Even though we love concrete, we're also asphalt contractors. Asphalt does have some benefits, like a faster drying time after installation. Cracks can also be fixed with sealant. However, as asphalt contractors, we will tell you that one of the major problems with asphalt is that it shrinks and expands depending on temperatures, which leads to holes, cracking, and permanent damage requiring much larger repairs. While other asphalt contractors may tell you differently, concrete offers considerable benefits over many other materials. It may seem more expensive than asphalt, but it requires less maintenance due to blacktop repair problems. |
