Driveway Overlay/Resurface
Resurfacing is an economical approach to giving your driveway a fresh facade without investing in extended life. Generally, a resurfacing project over an existing steady driveway surface will last approximately 7-10 years, though some spots may need to be patched.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The best candidate for a resurface is:
- A minimally cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled no more than 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 good to fair [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have sections corrected independently; cost savings are not typically seen in smaller driveways as they may still have to meet the minimum fee.
