## Frequently Asked Questions

### How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Northeast Texas?
Residential asphalt driveways run $3–$7 per square foot installed. A standard 600 sq ft driveway runs $1,800–$4,200 depending on thickness, sub-base prep, and access. All quotes are itemized and free.

### How long does an asphalt driveway last in East Texas?
A properly installed asphalt driveway lasts 15–20 years in Northeast Texas with sealcoating every 3–5 years. The clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles make sub-base preparation the single most important factor in pavement lifespan.

### Is asphalt or concrete cheaper for a driveway?
Asphalt is significantly cheaper. Asphalt runs $3–$7/sq ft installed vs. $6–$12/sq ft for concrete — roughly 50–70% less. For a typical 600 sq ft driveway, asphalt costs $1,800–$4,200 and concrete costs $3,600–$7,200.

### How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
Every 3–5 years for residential driveways and every 2–4 years for commercial parking lots. New asphalt should wait 6–12 months after install before its first sealcoat.

### What is the best time of year to pave or sealcoat in Texas?
April through October is ideal. Asphalt installation needs ambient temps above 50°F. Sealcoating requires 60°F+ for 24 hours after application with no rain in the 24–48 hour forecast. Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) produce the most consistent results.

### How long does it take to install a new driveway?
Most residential driveways are installed in 1–2 days. Drivable in 24–48 hours after install.

### How do I know if my driveway needs replacement vs. just repair?
Replacement is required when: alligator cracking covers 25%+ of the surface, potholes return after patching, water ponds for 24+ hours after rain, sections are sinking visibly, or the driveway is 20+ years old without maintenance. Surface cracks under 1/4" can usually be repaired and sealed.

### Does Area Wide Paving service Tyler, Longview, Texarkana, etc.?
Yes. Hub cities served include Sulphur Springs (HQ), Tyler, Longview, Greenville, Paris, Mount Pleasant, Texarkana, and Marshall. Service radius extends 80 miles from Sulphur Springs across 12+ Northeast Texas counties.

### Do you do commercial paving?
Yes. Commercial parking lot paving is a core service: retail, medical, churches, schools, restaurants, hotels, industrial pads. Pricing runs $2.50–$5 per square foot. Phased work available for occupied properties.

### Are you the owner, or do you have salespeople?
Owner Paul Pogue answers the phone and personally evaluates every project. There are no salespeople, no franchise model, no project managers. Paul has been on every Area Wide jobsite since 2003.
