Driveway Overlay/Resurface

Resurfacing is an economical approach to giving your driveway a fresh facade without investing in extended life. 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 best candidate for a overlay is:

  • A slightly 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 adequate to average [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.

Upon successful inspection, we will arrange for the pavement installation to take place within 1-3 days after the base is ready, depending on the climate.

Generally, there is no requirement for anyone to be present at the time of inspection in most villages, but the permit must be visible on the front window or door, and plans that have been authorized must be accessible when necessary.

We will make known if a base inspection is not necessary in some Villages, and paving can be done as soon as it is available.
