FAQs

How long does an asphalt driveway or parking lot last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance—including timely sealcoating—your asphalt surface has the potential to last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, depending on various factors such as usage and environmental conditions. Our work is meticulously designed for durability and built to withstand the test of time. Additionally, we are committed to helping you maintain your asphalt surface for maximum longevity, ensuring that you get the most value out of your investment for years to come. By prioritizing both quality craftsmanship and ongoing care, we aim to extend the life of your asphalt, providing you with a reliable and attractive surface for many years ahead.

What types of properties do you work on?

We proudly handle both residential and commercial projects, ensuring top-notch craftsmanship for a wide range of services—including driveways, private roads, parking lots, farm lanes, and much more. Our expertise allows us to accommodate projects of all sizes, from small residential driveways to expansive commercial parking lots. No matter the size or scope of your project, we take the time to understand your specific needs and tailor our services accordingly, providing a customized solution that meets your expectations and enhances your property.

What is the best time of year to schedule paving or sealcoating?

The period from spring through fall is considered ideal for our activities, as temperatures during this time are generally warm and dry, creating a favorable environment for success. We take our commitment to excellence seriously, which is why we closely monitor weather patterns and forecasts to ensure that conditions are optimal. By doing so, we can guarantee that our efforts yield lasting results that meet the highest standards of quality.

Can I drive or park on the surface right after the job is done?

For all paving projects, we strongly recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before driving on the newly paved surface. This waiting period is crucial to ensure that the material has properly set and can withstand the weight of vehicles without suffering damage. Additionally, sealcoating typically requires about 24 hours to cure fully, although this can vary depending on the current weather conditions, such as temperature and humidity. To assist you further, we will provide you with detailed and clear aftercare instructions designed to help you maintain your surface in top shape for years to come, ensuring its longevity and overall quality.

Do you subcontract any of your work?

No—when you hire Armor Asphalt, you're working directly with us, ensuring a personal and dedicated experience for your project. In certain cases, we may collaborate with our trusted family partner at Standard Paving to enhance our crew or equipment capabilities. However, rest assured that your project will always be overseen and managed directly by John and the Armor team, guaranteeing the consistent quality and attention to detail that you expect from us. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities throughout the entire process.
