New Asphalt Installation
- Remove and replace is the best way to repair asphalt when it has become severely deteriorated and the base is defective. This requires removing the old asphalt and installing a newly graded sub-base. Then finally Hot Mix Asphalt is machine installed and compacted with a vibratory machine.
Resurface Existing Asphalt
- The asphalt structure’s base holds the key to whether resurfacing is possible. As long as the base is stable and the drainage is sufficient, asphalt resurfacing can be an option. First, the asphalt surface is pre-leveled and filled for any low spots and potholes. Then SSI prime coat is applied for new asphalt adhesion. Finally, the new layer of asphalt is applied and compacted. Resurfacing is cost effective and can be an alternative to complete asphalt replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to stay off my driveway/parking lot after seal-coating?
Please wait 24 hours until you walk or drive on it.
How often should should seal-coating be done?
Sealer manufacturers and asphalt contractors agree that most asphalt surfaces should be sealed every one to three years. Older asphalt surfaces may require more maintenance, especially if the asphalt has gone gray. Graying indicates the surface is oxidizing and losing the binder that holds the aggregate in the asphalt.
What is asphalt resurfacing?
Resurfacing is adding an additional 2” of asphalt over the existing asphalt surface. This is more affordable than removing and replacing the entire driveway, and will result in the same appearance. However, any existing cracks will work their way through to the new surface in approximately one to three years, and the cap itself can be expected to last approximately seven to ten years.
