Historically highways and interstates were constructed using concrete, which has long been touted as more durable and weather resistant than asphalt. With the advancements in asphalt concrete production and materials, asphalt has become the go-to choice when repaving and renovating some of the nation’s most well-traveled and historic highways and interstates. In fact, Wolf Paving has been on the forefront of the asphalt paving movement in Wisconsin since its inception in the 1940s.

A residential tennis court installation is an excellent way to add to the value – and the personal enjoyment – of any home. Similarly, commercial enterprises such as condominiums and apartments, schools, gyms, and community and municipal centers also benefit from tennis court installations.

However, when it comes to making design decisions concerning whether you should install a grass, clay, or hard court surface constructed from plastic or asphalt, you should consider durability, playability, and maintenance issues. Choosing a hard court surface with asphalt pavement for tennis courts makes good, solid sense for a number of reasons.

Driveways and parking lots are a major component of the function and appearance of your home or business. Now is the time for extra attention to exterior maintenance.

Whether your project includes driveway, highway, parking lot, activity area paving needs or more, choosing a quality asphalt paving company both for commercial and residential projects should include some research on service providers as well as recommendations from trusted sources, third party reviews and references. It’s important to take multiple sources of information and recommendations into consideration when making your final choice. Along with opinions shared and found through your research, the quality of paving materials and products to be used should be a factor considered when making a decision. If you are looking for a professional paving contractor with expert engineers, here are a few qualities you should consider:

1. Price: Competitive pricing is an important factor when choosing an asphalt paving contractor and representatives should offer to provide a complimentary site visit and quote. Considerations in regard to price should include quality of equipment, type of asphalt mixture, complexity of the project area, municipal ordinances, removal of existing surfaces, environmental factors and recycling options. 
2. Reviews: A reputable asphalt paving company will openly share customer reviews and / or a Better Business Bureau rating. Oftentimes, a company’s reviews or case study examples will be shared on their website to be viewed by new and prospective companies or individuals. In some cases, an asphalt paving company will recommend a new customer visit a project site that is in production or recently completed.
3. Years of experience & project history: Leaning on the knowledge of an experienced asphalt paving representative will help you make good choices for your property as well as save you money. Representatives that are able to communicate in a clear and informed way, while providing good examples of challenging projects and solutions they have provided for other customers, are likely to be the best partners for your project.
4. Licensed and insured: There should be no resistance by your asphalt paving contractor to provide documentation showing that they are licensed and insured. This documentation not only provides protection for their representatives and equipment, it provides protection for you and your property as well.
5. Warranty: A good contractor should stand by their work and make customer satisfaction a priority. While not always offered or limited, asking for a project warranty (workmanship & materials) will guarantee that the project is completed to industry standards and the unique needs of your property (as agreed upon at the start of the project). Most company warranties are different based on project circumstances – so be sure to have all information in writing before the start of your project. Installation experts should also provide tips to help you extend the life of your newly paved or seal-coated surface.
