Quote review

Asphalt Quote Checker

Enter the numbers and written scope details from the contractor quote.

Quote Details

Use written quote details rather than verbal promises.

Written scope items

The quote details that matter most

  • Compacted asphalt thickness, not vague depth.
  • Base depth and base material.
  • Removal and disposal if replacing old pavement.
  • Drainage and grading plan.
  • Use of proper paving and compaction equipment.
  • Insurance, licensing, references, and warranty terms.

Use the score as a conversation starter

A low score does not automatically mean the contractor is bad. It means the written scope needs clarification before you compare bids or pay a deposit.

Formula

quote_score = 100 - risk_penalties_for_missing_scope_or_unusual_price

These are planning estimates. Confirm local material density, supplier tickets, contractor scope, drainage, base condition, and local code before buying material or signing a contract.

FAQ

Asphalt Quote Checker FAQ

What should an asphalt driveway quote include?

It should include area, compacted thickness, base work, removal if needed, grading, drainage, equipment, price, payment terms, and warranty.

Is a same-day asphalt discount risky?

It can be. Leftover asphalt and pressure-discount pitches are common warning signs. Verify the business, scope, and references carefully.

How many driveway quotes should I get?

For most meaningful projects, compare at least two written quotes with the same scope before choosing.
