Professional Asphalt Resurfacing

Professional asphalt resurfacing is the leading option for repairing heavily worn pavement that is still structurally intact. Resurfacing asphalt pavement involves removing and replacing only the top layer of asphalt, where the damage and wear has occurred. Resurfacing is not only more affordable, but it is a quicker process, only taking 2-3 days from start to being ready for use.


Asphalt resurfacing is somewhere in between surface crack or pothole repair and full asphalt replacement or repaving. Resurfacing can add anywhere from 8-15 years of life to old asphalt. If you are unsure about whether the damage to your driveway, road, or lot can be resurfaced or must be repaved in its entirety, our experts will come out and do a full evaluation to help you make a decision.

Why Should I Resurface Asphalt Pavement?

Some common ways to tell if your asphalt needs resurfacing include numerous shallow cracks, chips, or dents covering a large surface. Asphalt resurfacing is also an excellent option for old, gray, and faded asphalt that has been over-patched. Resurfacing pavement ultimately leads to a smoother surface that is not only more pleasing to the eye, but provides a better walking or driving experience.


Resurfacing asphalt pavement is an affordable and fast way to get a surface that looks brand new. Resurfacing can be 40-50% cheaper than full asphalt replacement. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend all pavements that are qualified for resurfacing to be less than 20 years old, be structurally sound, and have cracks no deeper than 1.5 inches.

Resurfacing Asphalt vs Replacing Asphalt

Asphalt resurfacing involves applying a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface. It is a cost-effective solution suitable for surfaces with minor to moderate deterioration. The process begins with thorough cleaning and repair of any damaged areas before the application of a fresh asphalt overlay. Asphalt resurfacing is efficient for restoring the appearance of driveways and roads, correcting minor imperfections, and extending the surface's lifespan.


Asphalt replacement, on the other hand, involves the complete removal of the existing asphalt layer before laying down a new foundation and surface. This method is more extensive and is typically reserved for surfaces with significant structural issues or extensive wear. While asphalt replacement represents a more substantial upfront investment, it offers the advantage of addressing underlying problems, ensuring a brand-new, long-lasting surface.


Resurfacing is generally more cost-effective than replacement, making it an attractive option for surfaces with moderate deterioration. It is suitable for surfaces with minor cracks and surface wear, while replacement is reserved for surfaces with deeper structural issues. Replacement is necessary when there are substantial structural concerns. Replacement tends to provide a longer-lasting solution, particularly when the existing surface has reached the end of its lifespan. That being said, both options offer great solutions for various levels of asphalt damage and wear.
