Is the lowest price always the best option? Consider VALUE

At Asphalt Enterprises, we've always aimed to offer highly competitive pricing. While we're often the lowest bid, we typically fall somewhere in the middle. But price alone shouldn't be the only factor when selecting a contractor. It's essential for customers to dig deeper and ask the right questions:

  • Are you truly comparing apples to apples?
  • Is the scope of work identical?
  • Are the specifications the same?
  • What type of equipment is being used?
  • How experienced are the company's management and field crews?
  • How long has the company been in business?
  • Does their website demonstrate the experience, equipment, and manpower needed to complete your project successfully?

It's easy to assume all proposals are equal when specifications appear similar, but many critical value-added elements don't show up on paper. 

For example, on our paving jobs, we routinely use 3-4 different types of rollers, including rubber tire rollers - an approach that greatly improves quality. We also bring a backup paving machine to every job to prevent costly downtime in the event of equipment failure. This level of preparation protects your schedule and your property.

Our fleet is one of the newest in the region. As of this writing, all our paving equipment ranges from just two weeks to 18 months old, ensuring your project benefits from the lastest and most reliable machinery. Additionally, our in-house mechanic and service crew perform regular maintenance and are ready to handle on-site repairs, further minimizing the risk of delays.

Customer service is another area where we add unmatched value. You'll never reach a voicemail when calling our office - every call is answered by a live staff member. We're also responsive via mobile, so you're never left waiting.

Our team is among the most experienced in the Atlanta area. Many of our employees have been with us for 25 to 36 years, contributing to the consistent, high-quality work we're known for. Our sealcoating crews have been with us for over three decades. Since 1983, we've applied more than 2 million gallons of sealer - more than any other company in the region. That kind of experience translates directly to better results for you.

We also go above and beyond to make your project go as smooth as possible. When vehicles block work areas, we can coordinate towing in advance (with no markup) and handle tenant/resident notifications at no extra cost. We install "No Parking" signs ahead of time and can distribute notices to inform residents of upcoming work. Our goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

When it comes time to choose a contractor, consider the factors that don't always show up in a bid. Visit our website to see our equipment in action, review completed projects, and explore our 42+ years of experience. Check our references, and ask yourself - why not choose Asphalt Enterprises for your next project?

 

 

Customer Testimonial - Blair Valley

Matt,

Barbara and I would like to thank you for exceptional service in the repaving project for Blair Valley. All of the neighbors appreciated the way the initial project was managed and the quality of the work. Barbara and I especially appreciate the follow-up you provided to address the drainage issue near our home. You demonstrated that Asphalt Enterprises cares about complete customer satisfaction. Your crews did an exceptional job that was performed on schedule.

While your crews did a great job, your professional management, attention to detail, and communication were the real reasons the project went so well. Your personal involvement and commitment to delivering an efficient process, as well as a quality product, reflected well on the reputation of Asphalt Enterprises. We are grateful for the service you personally provided to our neighborhool.
