Warranty Information

You are now the owner of a quality product from Bracken Paving. We strive to deliver a high standard of workmanship and customer satisfaction while staying competitive in our marketplace. Bracken Paving hereby warrants that this pavement will be free from installation and material defects for a period of two years from the date of application subject to the warranty limitations and warranty conditions set out herein. Industry standards dictate installation and material defects.

The foregoing warranties are subject to the following conditions: For all warranties to be valid, all work must be paid in full and the Bracken Paving warranty registration must be forwarded within thirty (30) days of application of pavement to Bracken Paving. The Bracken Paving warranty does not cover damage caused by impact or exposure or contact with any foreign substance or other mistreatment of paved surface such as but not limited to:

• traffic heavier than pavement is designed for or abrasive traffic such as but not limited to steel tracks, chains, and studs,
• concentrated weight such as dumpsters, jacks, kick stands and even lawn chairs.

Asphalt is subject to:

• several natural changes due to ground movement, drought or compaction of the Earth's soils,
• root systems of surrounding landscapes,
• oxidation through ultraviolet rays,
• and ground water under pavement causing undue moisture of pavement base.

These are acts of nature and can cause any pavement to crack, raise or settle. Bracken Paving will not be liable for these conditions. If cracks appear, filling is not necessary unless cracks exceed 1/8" in width. Cracks should then be cleaned and filled with a rubberized crack filler before each seal coating application.
