The Driveways in Colfax

Colfax has a clear peak. the 1990s put up 20 percent of the 1,093 homes here, and the decades either side of it fill in most of the rest. Surfaces of one age share one problem, so the question here is rarely what a drive needs. It is whether it is at the point where sealing still saves it or the point where it does not, and those are a few years apart.

At 62.5 percent detached, this is one of the more built-up places in the service area, and a lot of the asphalt is shared rather than private. Shared surfaces are quoted as lots: measured, laid out, and written up so everybody who has to approve it can see what is included.

A village of 1,252 usually has one commercial street and a few blocks of houses around it, and {p.ShortName} is no exception. The lots along the main street are small with shared access, which makes the question there where one property's surface stops and the next one starts. The houses behind them are straightforward. The drives out past the village line are a different job again.

Colfax sits on the Red Cedar River in Dunn County where Eighteen Mile Creek joins it, about eight miles north of the I-94 corridor. Highways 40 and 170 are the routes through the village. The river banks here are steep and wooded with sandstone outcrops, which isn't incidental: the village had a sandstone quarrying industry and its two landmark buildings are both built from the local stone.

How Far Out Colfax Is

Roughly 17 miles northwest of Eau Claire, which is a normal working distance rather than a special trip. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call. The estimate is free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.

To place it: the nearest places we cover are Town of Grant about 5.1 miles off, Town of Tainter about 5.7 miles, and Tainter Lake about 6 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Colfax

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Half the road in Colfax is having work done. Should we be too?
Possibly, and it is a fair question here, because 20 percent of the housing dates from the 1990s. When a place goes up in one burst the driveways reach the same milestone together, so what the drive two doors down needed is usually close to what yours needs. We still look at yours rather than assuming the road.
Do you do commercial lots in Colfax as well as driveways?
Yes, and they are a different job. A lot with striping, storm structures and truck loading in it gets walked and priced as a lot rather than quoted by the square foot off a map. Those are worth starting a conversation about ahead of the season rather than during it, because a written number and a date both take longer than a driveway does.
We share a driveway with the neighbors. How does that get quoted?
As one surface, with the bid saying plainly which areas are included, because that is the document everybody sharing the cost has to agree on. Shared drives and small multi-unit surfaces wear differently from a single-family drive: the traffic is heavier and it concentrates at the entrance. They are worth sealing sooner for the same reason.
How far is Colfax from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 17 miles northwest, in Dunn County. The estimate is free either way, and the number you approve is the number you pay. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call.
