These are the questions North Bay property owners ask us most: what
we handle, asphalt versus concrete, what drives cost, and when to
schedule. Don't see yours? Call and ask the family directly.
We work out of Petaluma and cover Sonoma County and the North Bay. That includes Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Sonoma, Sebastopol, Windsor, Healdsburg, and Novato and San Rafael in Marin County. If your property sits outside those towns, call us anyway. If it is in the North Bay, the answer is usually yes.
What services do you offer?
Asphalt and concrete, from one contractor. Asphalt driveway paving, commercial paving and parking lot striping, asphalt sealcoating, asphalt repair and patching, concrete driveways and flatwork, concrete patios and stamped concrete, grading and drainage, gravel driveways, and retaining walls.
Do you install paver stones?
No. Interlocking paver stones are one thing we do not install, and we would rather say that plainly than take a job outside our trade. If you like the look of stone or brick, stamped concrete gets very close in a single poured slab, and we do that work often.
How much does a new driveway cost?
It depends on the size, the condition of the ground under it, how much grading and drainage work the site needs, and the material you pick. We look at the property first, then put a clear written estimate in your hands. For market price ranges, the driveway cost guide on our blog is a good place to start.
Should I pick asphalt or concrete for my driveway?
We install both, so you get an answer based on your property instead of a sales pitch. Asphalt costs less up front, goes in fast, and is simple to repair. Concrete costs more but lasts longer and handles hot sun without softening. The slope, the soil, and how you use the driveway usually decide it.
How long does a paving job take?
Most residential driveways are paved in a day once the base is ready, with a day or two of grading and base work before that. Parking lots run longer and are usually done in sections so the property stays open. You get a schedule with your estimate, and we hold to it.
How do estimates work?
We come out and look at the job. Paving prices live in the details a phone call cannot see: the ground under the old surface, drainage, access, and how much base work the site needs. After the visit you get a written estimate with a real number on it.
How do I get started?
Call (707) 217-0835 or send the form on this site. You will be talking with the family, not a call center. We will talk through the job, come take a look, and get you an estimate.
