How To Prepare for Driveway Paving Before the Crew Arrives

A little planning before your paving crew arrives can make paving day easier for everyone.
Start by asking your paving contractor what needs to be ready. Every driveway is different, but here are a few things to discuss:

✔️ Move vehicles ahead of time. Park somewhere you can reach without crossing the work area.
✔️ Clear personal items. Move planters, toys, trash bins, and other belongings out of the way.
✔️ Plan for deliveries and visitors. Let them know access may be limited.
✔️ Keep children and pets safely away. The crew needs room to operate equipment and handle hot paving materials.
✔️ Point out anything that needs protection. Discuss irrigation lines, gates, landscaping, and any known underground utilities before work begins.
✔️ Ask when you can use the driveway again. Timing depends on the paving material, weather, and project. Follow your contractor’s instructions for walking, driving, and parking.

If your driveway is shared, make sure everyone knows the schedule and access arrangements.

Homeowners: Please take the time to check before you hire a paving contractor.

Yesterday, I received a call from a property owner who had made a last-minute decision to hire a paving contractor for a relatively small area. After taking another look at the price and what he understood would be done, he became concerned and asked me to come help stop the work.

The contractors had arrived at his property ready to begin, but the owner had not been given a contract. When I asked whether they had a signed agreement, they said no, but offered to write one on the spot. I told them the owner needed time to review it and that California law may give homeowners a right to cancel certain home improvement contracts.

The conversation became tense. At one point, a passenger got out of a truck and stood toe to toe with me. I held my own, but I found that behavior was unnecessary (especially since I am a women, what kind of a man speaks to a women in that manner), nevertheless I stood my ground! No homeowner—or anyone helping one—should feel pressured or intimidated for asking questions.

The contractors eventually packed up and left. From what I observed, they had two pickup trucks, two dump trucks, and approximately one and a half truckloads of asphalt without tarps. It was already around 2:00 p.m. In my experience, the work the area appeared to need—including excavation, base rock and asphalt—would be difficult to complete properly starting that late. I also had concerns about whether the small roller they brought would achieve adequate compaction.

After 36 years in the paving business, I know how much preparation and proper equipment matter. We cannot know how this particular job would have turned out, but what I saw raised enough questions that I was glad the owner paused before allowing work to begin.

Please protect yourself:

Get a written contract and read it before work starts. Make sure it clearly describes the work, materials, thicknesses, price and payment terms.

Check the contractor’s license and business information on the California Contractors State License Board website. Ask questions, why have 4 different license all in the same name?

Get multiple written estimates based on the same scope of work so you can compare what you are actually buying.

Ask about your cancellation rights and keep a copy of everything you sign.

Take your time. A reputable contractor should be willing to answer your questions and explain the work.

A paving project is an investment in your property. Taking a little time to understand what you are paying for can save you considerable expense and frustration later.

Having a large driveway replaced can feel like a big undertaking, especially when you haven’t done it before.

In her review, our Marin County client Joan R. described how Joe answered her questions, explained the options, and helped her understand the process. Our crew replaced her driveway and turnaround area just before the winter rains.

Joan wrote:
“After reaching out to several well-known larger companies with limited or zero response, I found Pimentel through Yelp. I was happily surprised when the owner, Joe, responded right away. He set up an initial consultation/estimate and he showed up as promised. That's a rarity these days. That excellent level of communication continued through the entire process. From the initial consultation to replace the existing asphalt to recommendations/advice/options for edging, curbing and sealing, Pimentel's was a pleasure to work with.

I eventually did receive a couple of additional quotes from others (one without actually coming out to look!) but they were not as detailed and Joe still beat those prices.

This was a fairly large residential driveway project with a turnaround area and something we had never done before. Joe was VERY patient to answer all my questions, give me options and explain the process to me in an easy to understand way.

Joe, along with his team worked extremely hard and we felt they treated the project as if it was their own residence. They arrived on time, finished without delay and left the work area perfectly cleaned up.

It was a late season install just prior to winter rains. Joe re-graded some of the area and we now have excellent drainage.

To sum it up, we would use Pimentel Paving again in a heartbeat. They are honest, fair in price and go above and beyond on the installation. We really appreciated the planning, coordination and work ethic of this team.”

Thank you, Joan, for thoughtfully sharing your experience! We’re glad the planning and hard work made a difference.

Thinking about your own driveway? We’d be happy to talk through your options.

Here in the North SF Bay Area, fall usually brings mild days and stretches of dry weather that are perfect for paving, after intense summer heat and before the winter rains.

If you’ve been thinking about a new residential or commercial paving project before winter weather sets in, now is the time to talk through your options.

Asphalt is one choice. Alternatives such as Chip Seal and Terra Pave may also be worth considering, depending on your property and how you use the surface.

With whatever surface you choose, the weather still matters. Each material has its own temperature and dry-weather requirements, so we plan around the conditions your project needs.

At Pimentel Paving, we’ll help you choose a surface that will last and look great on your property. We’ll address base preparation and drainage, and find the right weather window for the work.

Let’s talk about your fall paving project.

Is Your Private Road Ready for Winter Rain?

You probably know the spots already. The puddle near the garage. The broken edge. The rough patch you steer around every morning.

Before the rainy season, take a closer look at those areas. Where does water collect? Where does it run off? Has the damage gotten worse since last winter?

The right solution depends on what’s happening beneath the surface as well as on top. A repair may be enough, or the driveway may need better drainage and more extensive work.

Pimentel Paving can help you understand the options and plan your next step now while the weather is perfect for paving.

Pimentel Paving paved the entrance and parking areas for this large Napa apartment complex, creating a smooth, clean surface that improves both safety and curb appeal for residents and visitors.

For multifamily properties, pavement does a lot of work every day. It needs to handle regular vehicle traffic, provide a dependable surface for residents and guests, and contribute to a well-maintained first impression of the property.

A professionally paved entrance and parking lot can make the whole community look more cared for while helping create safer, smoother access throughout the property.

For apartment owners and property managers, maintaining pavement is part of maintaining the property itself. A smooth, well-kept parking lot helps protect the investment while creating a safer, more attractive environment for residents and visitors.

“Pimentel did an excellent job paving my very steep driveway. I originally chose Pimentel because of their excellent reputation and very reasonable pricing. (with estimates ranging from $9,800 - $33,000) Given the quality of their work and the pleasure they were to work with, I wouldn't consider using anybody else if I ever needed another driveway repaved. Thank you!” — Ken B.
