Driveway Overlay/Resurface
Resurfacing is an economical approach to giving your driveway a fresh facade without investing in extended life. 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 overlay 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 existing pavement to garage floor, city sidewalk, and entrance, and is in satisfactory to fair [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have segments corrected independently; cost savings are not typically seen in smaller driveways as they may still have to meet the minimum fee.
