Driveway Overlay/Resurface
A resurface is a budget-friendly way of giving your driveway a facelift, if your priority isn’t its longevity. A resurfacing process over a sound preexisting driveway should last around 7-10 years, although certain areas may necessitate spot patching.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The best candidate for a resurface is:
- A minimally cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled at leastat minimum 2″ low below the garage floor or has at least this amount of space from current pavement to garage floor, city sidewalk, and entrance, and is in adequate to average [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have sections fixed independently; cost benefits are generally not seen with smaller driveways as the minimum payment still applies.

ASPHALT PAVING PROCESS
STEP 1.
DEMO & BASE PREPARATION
Upon arrival, the team will take off the existing covering of the driveway, establish the fresh stone base, level out, leave it packed down and ready for review with the local village or city as directed.
After the groundwork is done, the driveway should be ready to park in usually.
STEP 2.
INSPECTIONS
After the base is ready, we will arrange any necessary base inspections.
Following the inspection, the pavement installation date will be set, which is usually between 1-3 days after the base is prepared, weather permitting.
Generally, nobody needs to be present during the inspection in most villages, though the permit should be prominently displayed on a door or window of the front and approved plans must be accessible if necessary.
For some Villages, a base inspection is not necessary, and we will inform, paving can be done quickly if possible.

PAVEMENT INSTALLATION
The asphalt workers will finish the driveway by pouring the asphalt and keeping it inaccessible to cars.
For construction, reach out to your local police department for permission to park on the road.
