Professional Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt is commonly used in residential and commercial properties alike because of it’s safe, smooth, durable and affordable nature. It’s also easy to install; once laid, asphalt cools down and hardens quickly, making the surface ready for use within 24 hours. This mixture of stones, sand and liquid asphalt cement is designed to shrink and expand easily, reducing the damaging impact of extreme pressure or thermal expansion and contraction.
With this, it’s essential to remember that asphalt driveways also wear away with constant use, just like other paving materials. Moreover, issues like cracks, depressions, and draining problems can develop over time, requiring professional asphalt resurfacing.
Removing and replacing the top layer of your existing asphalt pavement is an effective way to maintain and extend the life of your surfaces. Asphalt driveway resurfacing prevents water, sunlight and air from penetrating your pavement and causing it significant damage. In addition, the new surface repels oil spills and leaks, making it much easier for you to clean your driveway.
Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, you can entrust your asphalt resurfacing project to the experts at The Driveway Company. Our crew has the experience, technical knowledge, refined craftsmanship and professional tools to get the job done right. We also follow proven methods to complete the process efficiently so you can get back to enjoying your driveway or resume your operations as soon as possible.
How To Tell if You Need Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway resurfacing is a straightforward way to address issues with your pavement, prolong its lifespan, and keep your property looking neat. However, it can be challenging to determine when simple repairs are sufficient or when it’s time to renew your pavement.
Many property owners make the mistake of brushing off seemingly minor concerns until they’re dealing with extensive damage and expensive repair solutions. To help you know when it’s time to invest in asphalt resurfacing, here are some signs to watch out for:
- Alligator cracks - These are surface defects resembling the scales of an alligator that usually indicate structural failure due to excessive traffic loads and poor drainage.
- Drainage problems - Puddles in your asphalt driveway or parking lot are not mere inconveniences. They’re significant threats to your pavement as lingering moisture can seep beneath the surface and cause further damage, especially during freeze-thaw cycles.
- Potholes - If your pavement is riddled with potholes, it’s best to seek professional asphalt resurfacing immediately. Potholes often signal weakened spots on your driveway due to water freezing and thawing underneath it.
- Faded color - The color change on your pavement surface is more than just a cosmetic issue. It’s a sign of UV damage, which means that the pavement is now weaker and more prone to cracking.
Having your asphalt paving removed and replaced may seem overwhelming, but working with highly rated contractors helps keep the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. On top of that, you can enjoy various benefits from asphalt driveway resurfacing, such as:
- Improved aesthetic appeal for your home or business
- Longer lifeline of your asphalt surfaces
- Enhanced safety and convenience for anyone using your residential or commercial property
- Significant savings from preventing more severe damages to your pavement
The Process: Asphalt Resurfacing
In the case where your driveway can no longer be mended through the usual repair techniques or when it’s way past its lifespan, you can always call our friendly and professional experts at The Driveway Company.
We follow an efficient and straightforward process for renewing asphalt surfaces:
- Asphalt Milling - The asphalt driveway resurfacing process starts with grinding away the top layer of the old asphalt, cutting the uneven areas, and removing oil-damaged spots.
- Pavement Repair - Before the actual resurfacing, remaining cracks, potholes and other issues are addressed through spot repairs and additional milling. Tree roots affecting the pavement may also be cut to ensure the area is ready for the new asphalt layer.
- Asphalt Resurfacing - Once the surface is prepped and all issues are addressed, around an inch of hot asphalt is overlaid on top using professional equipment. The process is completed within 3-5 hours.
