Driveway Overlay/Resurface
If the duration of your driveway isn’t a deciding factor, resurfacing is the most cost-effective way to make it look new. A typical resurfacing operation done over a trusted existing driveway surface should last approximately 7-10 years, with the exception of needing spot patching in some locations.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The ideal candidate for a overlay is:
- A minimally cracked area.
- 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 fixed independently; cost savings are not typically seen in smaller driveways as they may still have to meet the minimum fee.
