FAQ
Do you do the color coating?+
No — Avello builds the asphalt base. We coordinate with specialty surfacing contractors who apply the color system.
How long before coating?+
21–30 days minimum for asphalt to fully cure and outgas. Coating earlier causes bubbling and failure.
What slope is right?+
USTA standard is 1% in one direction (side-to-side or end-to-end). Avello holds tighter than 1%.
Will the work shut down my property?+
Not necessarily. Every project is different. We will look at how your property operates and plan the work around access, traffic, residents, customers, employees, or other daily activity whenever the project allows.
How is your pricing different from a lower bid?+
The number at the bottom of a proposal does not always tell the whole story. Scope, preparation, materials, quantities, scheduling, and site conditions can all affect the final result. We will explain exactly what we are proposing so you can compare bids based on what is actually included.
Do you work directly with HOA boards and property managers?+
Yes. We can communicate directly with boards, property managers, and other decision-makers involved in the project and provide the information needed to evaluate the work.
What happens if weather delays the project?+
Weather can affect paving schedules. If conditions are not appropriate for the work, we will communicate with you and coordinate the schedule around suitable conditions.
Can you provide documentation for insurance or compliance records?+
We will discuss the documentation your project requires and provide the applicable project information and records available for the work being performed.
