Case in point: even by our already high (or low?) standards, this late winter and early spring have been producing potholes at a staggering rate. Last month, westbound I-196 slowed to a crawl near Hudsonville for several days in a row as massive craters in the roadway blew out tires, cracked rims, ruined suspensions, and beached even the most rugged of sport utility vehicles.

The constant rain, melting snow, re-freezing and re-thawing combined with heavy traffic turned otherwise smooth-looking pavement into the surface of the moon in record time. Your driveway, parking lot, or other paved surface might be suffering some of the same problems.

And if that’s the case, you can’t afford to sit around. You need your pavement fixed as soon as possible to protect your customers (and yourself from legal action).

More to the point, you need a company that will do the job right, take care of your problem as quickly as possible, and will give you a free, fair, and completely transparent estimate for the work. In short, you need Stripe A Lot.

The Frustration of Iffy Estimates

Lots of things go into determining an estimate on asphalt work. Does it need to be totally repaved, or just have the cracks and potholes filled? Will you need sealcoating? Drain repair? What about painting new lines for the parking spaces?

An asphalt company that doesn’t “do it all” may not have the experience or knowledge necessary to properly evaluate your needs, and can only estimate one portion of the project—leaving you scrambling to find additional contractors for the other necessary services, or dealing with subcontractors for pieces that the original company can’t handle.

An asphalt company that cares more about winning your business than providing total estimate transparency might try to woo you with a suspiciously low bid—without telling you that they’ll either be cutting corners and using subpar materials, or charging you extra when the inevitable “cost overruns” pile up.

Either way, you end up not only frustrated, but also and probably paying more over the long term.

Our Promise: A Free, Fair, and Transparent Estimate for a Quality Service

Founded in 1986 and owned, operated, and personally supervised by two generations of the Knapp family ever since, our experience and commitment to quality customer service extend for more than 30 years.

Because we are one of the only companies in the area who provide full service asphalt work in-house without subcontractors—paving, resurfacing, repairing, sealcoating, maintenance, striping, you name it—we see the big picture and how everything goes together. We understand what a specific fix or project today will mean for you one, two, three, or four years or more into the future. And we’ll make sure to provide you with what you really, truly need.

We are up front about our commitment to using the highest quality materials and doing the job right, with pavement work built to last. We won’t BS you here—it’s easier and cheaper to skimp on standards, which is why there are so many corner-cutters in the industry. But while we can’t always promise you bargain basement bids, what we offer is value. The fact that we’re a one-stop shop with decades of experience means we can promise that we’ll provide a great price for great work.

If you still aren’t 100% sure, know this. All our estimates are FREE. We’re happy to answer any and all questions you may have about them. And there’s no obligation. Feel free to shop around. We stand by our work, our honesty and integrity, and our commitment to our customers.
