Proper Driveway Repair Procedures

The Town of Windsor requires any contractor doing excavations in the Town Right of Way to obtain a license and permit from the Engineering Dept. This includes installing a new driveway. Unfortunately, some contractors try to avoid this process. They may offer a price that seems “too good to be true”. In some cases it is, and the quality of materials and workmanship is well below average. The best way to ensure that a contractor will do a good job is to check with this office and see if they are licensed by the Town of Windsor. You may also call CT Dept. of Consumer Protection for a history of complaints and information on illegal paving companies in the area. Be sure to investigate your contractor thoroughly before work begins and you make any payments.

Please call the Engineering Dept. at 285-1876 or email Glen Cusano

What makes a good Driveway?

Two inches of Bituminous Concrete on an eight inch minimum processed stone base will provide for a good residential driveway. The above illustration is the Town of Windsor's requirements for the driveway apron within the Town's right of way. The sidewalk is shown only for those driveways or properties that have a Town sidewalk.
