Every spring, it starts like clockwork.
A truck rolls through your neighborhood. A guy knocks on your door. He says he just finished a job down the road, has leftover asphalt, and can seal your driveway or patch your parking lot for a fraction of what "the other guys" charge.
Sounds like a deal, right?
It's not. It's a setup.
After 35 years in the asphalt business serving western Wisconsin and Minnesota metro area, we've watched this play out hundreds of times — and we've been the ones called in to fix the damage after the "deal" falls apart. Homeowners and property managers get stuck with failing pavement, no warranty, and a contractor whose phone number no longer works.
Here's how to protect yourself — and why choosing the right paving contractor is one of the smartest investments you'll make in your property.
