Fly-by-night contractors appear every spring, offering to asphalt or re- surface driveways at ridiculously low prices. Their usual ploy is that they "just happened to be in the area and we have some orders from your neighbors so we can give you a good deal if we do your driveway now," Be suspicious of this type of operator. Despite repeated warnings, many consumers do busi- ness with contractors who do not even have an address. Anyone can rent equipment and slap down a thin covering of asphalt, When the driveway cracks and weeds start growing through it soon after the job is completed, these hucksters cannot be found so nothing can be done to have repairs made.

Choosing a Contractor „., • lele-41 .There are no bargains in driveway paving. You only get what you pay for. Paving is a major undertaking that involves expensive supplies and equipment. A first-class paving job should last at least 10 years with routine care. Your best bet when considering either resurfacing or paving your driveway for the first time is to get three estimates from reputable contractors. Ask the contractor for the names of three people in.your area with whom he has done business. If possible, look at their driveways and ask if they are satisfied. Don't haggle or cut corners on the quoted price. A contractor may cut his price, but he will also reduce the amount of material he supplies. Thus, a lower price will affect the quality of the work. Make sure that all quotes include everything you want and list the types of materials to be used and the method of construction. Be especially careful if you have a drainage problem. Once you have three estimates in writing, tele- phone the Consumer Protection Bureau to ensure that the contractor is duly registered under the provisions of The Consumer Protection Act. The Bureau will be able to indicate whether the company has been the subject of consumer complaints.

READ Resident Partner 236-0120 Three Driveway Types There are basically three types of driveway paving jobs: I. An adequate first paving requires a six-inch excavation which is then filled with crushed and compacted lime- stone to a depth of four inches. To this, two inches of compacted asphalt is added. 2. For a severely cracked older driveway, a good job requires that the old asphalt be completely removed before backfilling with four inches of compacted crushed limestone. After this, two inches of compacted asphalt is added. 3. For a re-capping job, where minor cracks have ap- peared, a layer of asphalt over the original driveway is sufficient. JOHN A.
