Hello - I am in the process of getting estimates to repair/re-blacktop my driveway and I'm getting various opinions on what the contractor would do to repair the driveway. The differences as to how they are approaching the job is creating major disparities in price.
The driveway is about 15 years old and has a good amount of "cracks or spiderwebbing" as well as depressed areas (especially where the cars are parked).
To repair the problems - I have gotten the follwing opinion and estimates in order of price:
(1)Simply Re-blacktop over the existing blacktop (cheapest price)
(2) cut out the spiderwebbed and depressed areas with a saw, compress and reblacktop the fixed area and then reblacktop the entire driveway (next higher price)
(3) cut out the spiderwebbed and depressed areas with a saw, cover the those areas with fabric to avoid cracks from returning; compress and reblacktop the fixed area and then reblacktop the entire driveway (a bit higher price)
(4) cut out the spiderwebbed and depressed areas with a saw, add stone to the area; compact and reblacktop the fixed area and then reblacktop the entire driveway (next highest price)
(5) Cut out entire driveway ; restone and reblacktop (highest).
So what are your opinions. I don't want to watste moneybut still get a quality job. Thanks.
