Effective Date: January 1, 2026
By using the website located at ranchosantamargaritaasphaltpaving.com, requesting a quote, or entering into a service agreement with Rancho Santa Margarita Asphalt Paving ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website or services.
These Terms and Conditions apply to all visitors to our website and all customers who engage our services. We may update these terms at any time by revising this page. Continued use of our website or services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Rancho Santa Margarita Asphalt Paving provides asphalt paving, sealcoating, crack sealing, parking lot striping, driveway paving, pothole repair, grading, and related services to residential and commercial customers in South Orange County, California.
All services are provided pursuant to a written estimate or agreement that describes the scope of work, materials, and pricing. No work will begin without a signed authorization from the customer. The scope of services is limited to what is described in that document.
All estimates are based on conditions observed at the time of the on-site visit. An estimate is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued unless stated otherwise in writing. Prices may change if site conditions differ materially from what was observed at the time of estimate, or if the scope of work is modified at the customer's request.
Estimates are not guaranteed contracts. A binding agreement is formed only when the customer has signed the written proposal and we have confirmed the start date in writing.
Material costs, particularly for asphalt, can fluctuate based on market conditions. If there is a significant increase in material costs between the date of the estimate and the date of the job - typically more than 30 days - we reserve the right to revise the estimate. We will notify you before proceeding.
Scheduled jobs are subject to weather conditions. Asphalt paving and sealcoating cannot be performed in rain or temperatures below approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit. If weather prevents us from completing a scheduled job, we will contact you promptly to reschedule at the earliest available date.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours advance notice. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice after materials have been ordered may be subject to a restocking or cancellation fee, which will be communicated to you at the time of cancellation.
We reserve the right to cancel a job if access to the work area is blocked, if site conditions are unsafe, or if permit requirements have not been satisfied before the scheduled start date.
Payment terms are set out in the written estimate or proposal. Unless otherwise stated in writing, a deposit may be required to hold your scheduled date. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the job, before our crew leaves your property.
Accepted payment methods will be specified in your estimate. Checks returned for insufficient funds will be subject to a returned check fee.
Overdue balances may be subject to a late fee and may be referred to a collections process or result in a mechanics lien being filed against the property where work was performed, in accordance with California law.
The customer is responsible for the following before and during the job:
We are not responsible for delays or damage caused by the customer's failure to meet these responsibilities.
Where a permit is required by the city or county for the scope of work described in your estimate, we will apply for and obtain those permits on your behalf as part of the project. Permit fees, if applicable, will be included in your estimate or itemized separately.
Where a permit is the responsibility of the customer - for example, HOA approval or certain utility notifications - it is the customer's responsibility to obtain that authorization before the scheduled start date.
We stand behind the quality of our work. Any warranty terms specific to your project will be stated in writing in your estimate or project agreement. Where no specific warranty is stated, our work is warranted against defects in workmanship for a period of one year from the date of project completion, subject to the limitations below.
Warranties do not cover damage resulting from: normal wear and tear, ground movement or soil settling beyond our control, damage caused by vehicles or equipment heavier than anticipated in the project scope, damage caused by chemicals, oil spills, or other substances applied to the surface after completion, or damage resulting from the customer's failure to follow maintenance instructions.
Sealcoating and crack sealing are maintenance services and are not warranted against future cracking or deterioration resulting from underlying structural issues, ground movement, or the natural aging process of the asphalt. We will inform you if we observe conditions that suggest a warranty claim may not be covered under these terms.
To the extent permitted by law, all warranties are limited to repair or replacement of the specific defective work and do not extend to consequential or incidental damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rancho Santa Margarita Asphalt Paving shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services or our website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific portion of the work that is the subject of the claim.
We carry general liability insurance. Nothing in these terms limits your right to make a claim against our insurance coverage.
The content on ranchosantamargaritaasphaltpaving.com is provided for general informational purposes only. We make reasonable efforts to keep the information accurate and up to date, but we make no warranties about the completeness or accuracy of the content.

If a dispute arises between you and Rancho Santa Margarita Asphalt Paving relating to our services or these terms, we encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue directly. Most concerns can be addressed quickly with a phone call or email.
If we are unable to resolve a dispute informally, any claims shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Orange County, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to pursue claims on a class-action basis.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where appropriate.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration shall be brought in the courts of Orange County, California.
We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes take effect when posted to this page. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when changes are made. We recommend checking this page periodically if you use our website or services on a regular basis.
