Best Asphalt Contractor in Morgantown area?
I got an estimate today at $500/sq foot for a driveway to be laid. This includes removal, grating and repavingthe driveway. I won't get into the details since every project is different.
My question is, who does everyone here recommend for asphalt and doing this type of work? I have no references, and simply went off of the nicest ad in the phone book. Anyone here have any personal experiences with companies?

I hired Harry's Paving, they seem to be great about communication, service, etc. thus far. Nearly next day service.
We'll see tomorrow how pretty it is  |

ALWAYS get two or three previous customers...A very high estimate from a legitimate contrator usually means he's on overload and backed up with work...If you take the price he really makes out. That's the market in Morgantown.
If a guy is super cheap...I'd be suspicious as to just what will be done...
1. rough and finish grade, roll and place poly or fiberglass fabric.
2. base stone of 3 to 5" rolled with a roller.
3. finish stone of 'crush and run' also called # 57 rolled with a roller.
4. base course of 2" base coat of asphalt (stone size is 3/4") rolled
5. wearing course of 2" finish coat of asphalt (stone size is 1/2") rolled.
That's the way a good job would be done, would hold up for about 20 yrs. minimal servicing with sealer.
