Are You Thinking About Having Your Driveway Repaired In New Jersey?

by | Jul 18, 2014 | Construction and Maintenance

If that is the case; there are a couple of basic things to get straight in your mind first. What material is your driveway actually made from? And, what is exactly wrong with it?

If we ignore short little drive-ins that might be made of tiles or stone slabs; along with long driveways that are really nothing more than a dirt road; or the ones where the drive is covered with loose small stones or gravel; then we are left with two popular forms of driveway – asphalt or concrete.

Repair methods for asphalt will differ from those required for Concrete Driveway Repair In New Jersey. However, be careful not to get tripped up over the terminology. Asphalt is the black sticky stuff that, when mixed with aggregate (small stones, etc); becomes blacktop; however contractors and engineers working with asphalt will use a term they call “asphalt concrete” to specify the material that they are going to put down for your driveway. They use this term because the asphalt is the binder that cements the aggregates together into one composite mix and, technically, it is concrete whenever the composite surfacing finish is held (or, literally, glued) together with some sort of binding cement which could be limestone Portland cement; epoxy resin or asphalt. As a layman, when you decide to look into Concrete Driveway Repair In New Jersey; it is virtually certain that you are in need of concrete made with Portland Cement – make sure you choose the right contractor.

Why Repair?

Maybe you are planning to put your New Jersey property on the market in the near future and you have decided that some repair work will give intended buyers a better impression when they come to view. Your driveway still serves its purpose in so much as you can easily pull in from the street and swing up the drive to your parking spaces; but, there are a few cracks caused by tree roots and you never did repair that curb that got damaged when the propane gas truck ran off the driveway last year – nothing major but; for sure, you are going to need fresh concrete. This is where you might think of problems: such as how to arrange a contractor to come in and do such a small job of Concrete Driveway Repair In New Jersey? However, you need not worry; these days; a good contractor has things called volumetric mixers; In a nutshell, a quite large truck pulls into your place; but, it does not contained concrete that has been pre-mixed back at their plant. What it does carry is all the ingredients needed for whatever type of concrete the crew require this day; they can then mix it on site in anything from your small batch to a large load needed for a complete driveway replacement. No job is too small and none are too large.
