LOOKING FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE ON YOUR ASPHALT PROJECT?

Consumers often times confused less-expensive pricing with higher value. Rarely is this ever the case when it comes to selecting an asphalt paving contractor. You may think you are saving lots of money, but in reality you are probably just wasting lots of money.

Take a look at this driveway that was recently paved by a very cheap paving contractor.

A driveway with small divots in the surface. Visual dark spots in the asphalt surface

This is a driveway that is less than a year old, but yet it looks much worse than the driveway that is 20 years old. The homeowner elected to go with the cheapest contractor they could find. In retrospect they will spend more money now to replace the driveway and start all over again, than what it would have cost if they had just went with a little bit more expensive, higher-quality paving contractor such as Asphalt Ninjas.

Driveway that was poorly installed collecting water rather than diverting it into the street.

🥷 How Asphalt Ninjas Do It Differently

At Asphalt Ninjas, we focus on value and durability. That means:

  • Honest estimates with clear breakdowns

  • Proper prep work (grading, base rock, etc.)

  • High-quality hot mix asphalt

  • Crews that are trained, insured, and efficient

We’re not the cheapest—and we’re okay with that. We’d rather do the job right the first time than come back to fix shortcuts.

🔍 What to Ask When Comparing Quotes

Before choosing the lowest bid, ask:

  • What type of asphalt will be used?

  • How thick will it be laid?

  • Is base prep included?

  • Is the contractor licensed and insured?

If a contractor can’t clearly answer these questions, proceed with caution. Buyer beware. Don't let this happen to you. Make the right choice and spend the extra money on making a really nice asphalt driveway.
