Local Tips From Our Crews Working in 35204
- Alleys matter. Rear alley access is common around here. Let us know ahead of time if a big truck can't make the turn and the small paver comes instead.
- Drainage comes first. Clay holds moisture for days. Lay fresh asphalt over a soggy subgrade and it'll fail before you've paid it off.
- Sealcoat in the right window. Late spring into early fall, and you want 24 dry hours behind it.
- Old house, old base. Driveways from before 1950 in this neighborhood usually have skimpy gravel underneath. Core check happens before we quote an overlay.
- Permits, ask us. Curb cuts and anything in the city right of way can need sign off. That paperwork's on us.

Paving in Fountain Heights: common questions
Do you work on tight streets and alleys in Fountain Heights?
Absolutely. Half the blocks in 35204 are narrow with cars parked bumper to bumper. Trucks get staged, smaller equipment comes out when it has to, and one lane stays open the whole time.
How much does driveway paving cost in Birmingham?
Around Fountain Heights, most home driveways land somewhere between $3,500 and $9,000. Size, what the base looks like, how the water moves. Sealcoating is a fraction of that. Real number shows up on the written estimate once we've measured.
How long does a driveway take?
One day covers most single driveways over by Fountain Heights Park. Tear it out and regrade and you're looking at two, maybe three. Walking on it the next day is fine. Give it about three days before you park on it.
Do I need a permit for paving in Birmingham, AL?
Resurfacing what's already there? Usually no. Cutting a new curb or touching the city right of way? Often yes. Checking with the city and pulling whatever's required is part of what we do.
What should I look for when hiring an asphalt contractor near Fountain Heights?
Proof of license and insurance, for starters. Then a written scope, the mix type, and how they plan to compact it. Anybody offering a deal on leftover material from another job that morning, send them down the road.
