I just got a new asphalt driveway installed by Economy and they were fantastic to work with. I had an interesting experience contracting them. Joseph came to my house shortly after I moved in back in 2019 and quoted the driveway. It was out of my budget at the time, so I ended up doing gravel. I'm embarrased to say I never even responded to his quote back then. I had forgotten about that and when embarking on the asphalt project again, I had found another couple of local contractors. One got me a quote about 2 weeks after visiting. I asked a follow up question and never got a response. Another got me a quote 2 MONTHS after visiting, and it was 3 times as high as the first. Because I was waiting so long for the 2nd quote, I searched my email for "asphalt" to see if maybe I missed it, and Joseph's quote from 2019 came up. It was significantly lower than the 1st quote I got (which makes sense because it was 2019), but even after coming out (not giving me a hard time about my lack of response from before) and getting me a quote in just a few days, he was still the lowest. Scheduling was easy and communication was clear. He called the day before they were scheduled to start and let me know that his new baby had come early, and he would not be able to be there, but his partner, Abi would run the work. I lined Abi out the next morning, and they were off to the races. He didn't miss a thing, communicated great, and did a great job. They knocked out a 4,000 SF driveway including a 250'L berm one one side in 2 days. It was clear that they took pride in their work, and they worked a really long day on day 2 to make sure everything was done well. Great work done by great people.
Joseph and the entire crew are the best you could possibly ask to do work for you or your buisness. They have done work at our shopping plaza in Everett two times now and the work is fast and holds up to the heavy use from our customers! When you consider a company that is reputable and honest you have to go with Economy Asphalt & Concrete LLC. Thanks Joseph!!
Josheph and his team did a great hob on two commercial parking lots, I can't recommend team highly enough. Dave
Economy Asphalt has done several projects for us. Their work is excellent, they are on-time and on-budget. The communication with them is very good and they follow through with what they say they will do. I highly recommend them.
I feel bad that I am just now posting this review! I was reminded yesterday by one of our condo owners, at a building in Snohomish where I have my business, that our experience with and results from Economy Asphalt were over the top! We had an eruption of water and clay in the middle of our back parking lot in January that Joseph and his team were able to quickly excavate, refill and repave a large area to prevent further eruptions. The building HOA will be using them again soon to complete repaving the lot. Great work and fairly priced!
As president of a cul de sac homeowner's association, the time arrived for me to gain support to seal coat and fill cracks in the development's private road. An investment of this size always brings significant scrutiny. Joseph was extremely helpful in answering my neighbors' questions and concerns prior to their approving the project. He was extremely helpful scheduling mutually acceptable time for the project. After his very professional crew completed the work, Joseph's exemplary customer service to finalize with some minor touch-up was most impressive. I give Economy Asphalt & Concrete my highest recommendation.
We just had our driveway asphalted today, Joseph gave us a great bid and they went above and beyond our expectations. They were early, took extra time to go over the work they did. They also recommended some work on the side of the driveway and took care of that in the same day. All the workers were professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
I would recommend Economy Asphalt to anyone & everyone! There service was prompt, their communication was fantastic and they went ABOVE & BEYOND what I expected. They poured a concrete floor in my garage & my barn and built a gravel driveway. I got bids from a few companies before I hired them and they were the most affordable of my quotes. I made a few last minute changes and they were able to to accommodate me with no problem. It's refreshing to find a company that is dependable, skilled and affordable. You won't be disappointed.
Joseph and his team did an excellent job replacing our asphalt driveway with concrete and paving our weed infested parking strip. They were communicative, efficient and did fantastic work. I would recommend to anyone looking for concrete and/or asphalt work.
Joseph was responsive, professional and timely. Tje quality of work was excellent. I highly recommend him.
We had our driveway redone by Economy and was extremely pleased with the result. We found few companies that did both concrete and asphalt. Of those that did, not all use rebar in concrete (which was a must for me). This was definitely an expensive project, but they not only came in at the lowest bid, but I was most pleased with their service and what they offered compared to others, so it was a no brainer!
Common Questions
Seattle’s wet climate can impact asphalt resurfacing in several ways:
- It can extend drying and curing times
- Moisture can affect the bonding of the new surface to the existing one
- Contractors often schedule work during drier months (typically May to September)
- Special quick-drying mixes may be used when work must be done in wetter conditions
- Proper drainage solutions are crucial to prevent future water damage
With proper installation and maintenance, an asphalt resurfacing project in Seattle can last 8-15 years. However, this can vary depending on factors such as:
- Traffic volume and type
- Quality of the original asphalt base
- Drainage efficiency
- Maintenance practices
- Exposure to harsh weather conditions
The ideal time for asphalt resurfacing in Seattle is during the drier months, typically from late spring to early fall (May to September). This allows for:

- Reduced risk of rain-related complications
- More predictable project timelines
Asphalt resurfacing is generally:
- Less expensive (about 20-40% of the cost of full replacement)
- Faster to complete

- Is more expensive upfront

- Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) mixes

- Small residential driveways: 1-2 days

Note that these timeframes include preparation, application, and curing time.
Yes, asphalt resurfacing can help address drainage issues:

- Proper grading can be implemented during resurfacing to improve water runoff
- In some cases, porous asphalt can be used to allow water to drain through the surface However, for severe drainage problems, more extensive work may be necessary.
In Seattle’s climate:
- Foot traffic is usually allowed after 24-48 hours
