I'm planning to repave my driveway and have some contractors lined up to discuss options. I understand that having a solid foundation is crucial, but I'm really unsure about what specific questions I should be asking them. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

A good starting point is to ask if you should go with concrete or asphalt. Each has its pros and cons regarding cost and durability. Also, consider asking about pavers—while they can be more expensive, they offer a beautiful finish. It's great that you're open to different options! Make sure to inquire about the warranty for their work and maintenance requirements, too.
Definitely get clarity on the different materials available! Concrete is usually more durable but takes longer to set, while asphalt is quicker and cheaper but might not last as long. Since you're thinking about pavers, ask if they can provide samples and discuss installation methods. And don’t forget about drainage! It’s key to prevent future issues.
