The Driveways in Dovre

Town of Dovre is young. 35.3 percent of the housing has been built since 2000, against 14.6 percent from before 1940. What that means on the ground is wide drives on bases that were engineered rather than guessed at, most of them now old enough for the surface to be spent while everything underneath is still fine. A fair number of calls from an area like this end with us saying a drive is not ready yet, which is not the answer anybody expects from a contractor.

85.6 percent of the homes are detached houses, with the balance in duplexes and small multi-unit buildings. The single-family drives are the long ones and the multi-unit surfaces are the ones that take more traffic than they were built for. Both are worth doing and they are not priced the same way.

The Town of Dovre is township rather than village, so most addresses out here are a fire number on a town road. That is not a complication and it does not put a job out of reach. It does change the shape of the work: a rural drive usually meets the road rather than a curb, and what fails first is the edge and the apron rather than the middle. Rural drives get measured rather than estimated by eye, so the number you get is for your drive rather than for an average one.

How Far Out Dovre Is

Town of Dovre sits about 31.1 miles north of Eau Claire. That is a real drive and it is one we make, so ask rather than assuming you are too far out. If several places on the same road want theirs done, say so when you call. The estimate is free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.

If you are working out where Dovre is, the nearest places we cover are New Auburn about 4.3 miles off, Chetek about 4.8 miles, and Town of Sioux Creek about 6.5 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Dovre

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Our place in Dovre is fairly new. Is the driveway ready for sealing?
Not until it has cured, which takes six to twelve months from paving and often longer before there is any point. Sealing new asphalt too early traps the lighter oils and does more harm than waiting. With 35.3 percent of the housing here built since 2000, a fair number of calls from this area end with us saying come back in a couple of seasons.
Why does the end of our driveway break up before the rest of it?
Because it is doing two jobs. Out here a drive meets a town road rather than a curb, so the asphalt has nothing beside it holding it in, and that apron takes the plow, the road salt and every vehicle that turns onto it. Edges and aprons fail first almost everywhere in township. They are also the cheapest part to put right if it is caught before the base under them goes.
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 Town of Dovre from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 31.1 miles north, in Barron 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.
