"The Asphalt Driveway Paving Bid Sheet is an inexpensive and invaluable tool for helping homeowners quickly understand what key elements to look for in a quality paving contractor bid and hiring a reputable paving contractor.” said Mark Donovan, CEO of DIY HomeAdditionPlus.com. "Not all paving contractors are the same and some have no issues with taking shortcuts, such as inadequate site preparation and/or applying too thin or too few layers of asphalt hot mix. Inevitably these shortcuts lead to failed driveways. The Asphalt Driveway Paving Bid Sheet helps prevent these types of shortcuts from happening by arming homeowners with the information they need to hire the right paving contractor."
