The article below is one that I would consider a good example of misleading information in the asphalt paving and maintenance industry. I encourage you to read the article and then my assessment of the article by Forbes.
If you are in need of asphalt repairs or maintenance, it is best to contact several reputable companies in order to get more than one opinion. While I agree it is important to do your own research, we also know the dangers of scouring WebMD and self diagnosing. Inaccurate and misleading information is out there regarding asphalt as well. Articles like this one above from Forbes will show you unreasonable expectation on costs for the cost of any repair is subjective, and the repair should be tailored to the particular situation. The articles states lowest, average and highest costs for various repairs. In our market area (Minnesota Twin Cities and suburbs of Twin cities) the highest cost is in reality closer to the minimum charge for such repairs.
My conclusion to this Forbes article.
The article does provide adequate information on how repairs are made to an asphalt driveway, or how we determine the cost of said repairs. Where the article fails is in its assessment of cost for the repairs to an asphalt driveway. The cost of a repair is going to vary wildly depending on what state you are in and how far away you are from a material supplier and the company's location who is performing the repairs to the asphalt driveway. As stated above, their assessment of what the highest cost for repairs to an asphalt driveway for Northern Pavement Maintenances area (Minnesota Twin Cities and suburbs of Twin cities) would be our minimum charge.
We always encourage the customer to contractors, wst two other estimates for their asphalt driveway repair and or maintenance. Not only to compare prices but to also compare the approach to the repair and or maintenance of the asphalt driveway.
