Most of the time, we find that most property and home owners wait until the pavement presents real problems before replacing.  Through our years of experience, we have noticed that repairing the asphalt at the right time will prevent problems down the road.  Our paving and resurfacing team is here to work with you to replace your driveway, commercial parking lot or any other paved surface right away.

The initial process in installing new asphalt looks at the excavation and grading of the area.  Establishing proper drainage patters to ensure that water moves away from the surface it critical.  After that, we look at the base materials to see that they have been installed correctly.  With the proper drainage and base material, the new asphalt will have a great foundation.

Before the asphalt is placed, we must ensure that the base material is sufficiently installed.  Without the base material, the asphalt will not be supported.  This would result in pot holes and uneven pavement.  We place special attention on this part of the project because this is something we cannot repair down the road.

Sometimes we find that the base material has been installed sufficiently in the asphalt area the is to be replaced.  When we find that this happens, we can install the new asphalt on the existing base material and you will save some cost.  When we find a solid asphalt base layer, sometimes resurfacing will be a great solution.  The solid base material will help us determine the best solution.

Whether you are a homeowner or the owner of a large parking lot, we understand that every project requires proper planning and communication.  Before we install any new product, we will come to your site to look at the drainage patterns, the traffic patterns on the pavement, and the expected loading during the pavements life.  After we know all of these things, we can recommend the appropriate fix for your project, and we will ensure that your new pavement will last for years to come.

Even the best constructed asphalt surface will require standard maintenance to make it last long.  Seasonal influences, daily traffic, and natural aging will weather the asphalt over time.  But we know asphalt well and we can help you know which procedures will be necessary for your asphalt pavement.

The biggest long term problem for asphalt is the natural cracking that occurs.  While some of these cracks look minor, they will create a path for water to reach into the base material below the asphalt.  When water enters the crack, we find that the water will deteriorate the asphalt over time  Crack sealing and repair will help the asphalt surface last longer.  We can recommend the proper cracking sealing and repairs for your property.

Another common problem we see with asphalt is potholes.  These make the asphalt look uneven and not kept well, but they also present a safety hazard.  Additionally, they can cause damage to vehicles.  Some think that fixing a pothole just involves putting more asphalt on the ground.  We have found that proper asphalt repair includes digging around the hole, filling the area with the appropriate base material, and then filling the area with new asphalt.  Fixing the asphalt in this way will ensure the area will last a long time.

Our other maintenance service items involve things like alligator cracking repair, general pavement deterioration, drainage problems and edge failures.  You will find that by incorporating our maintenance services, you will save yourself money in the long run.  The small amount of money that you spend each year will be much less than replacing the asphalt pavement.  Fixing the small repair and the general asphalt maintenance items will make your asphalt last.

When a property manager, a homeowner, retail centers and warehouse managers add up the cost of the minor repairs, they are shocked to compare this price with the complete replacement of the asphalt surface.  With a very proactive approach, we will help you preserve the asphalt appearance, improve safety on your asphalt, and provide a strong financial picture in your asphalt surface.

During our many years as asphalt specialists, we have found one of the most valuable ways to protect the asphalt is through routing sealcoating.  While this does not replace the structural repairs described in the previous section, it will serve as a very protective layer against the weather, everyday wear, and moisture reduction in the asphalt.

We have found that after many days of sunlight exposure, the asphalt can begin to dry out and deteriorate.  This is the result of oxidation in the asphalt pavement.  The oxidation will lead to fading, cracking and additional aging of the asphalt.  The sealcoating process will provide a protective layer on top of the asphalt and will prevent this oxidation process.

While the sealcoating does provide actual protection of the asphalt surface, the sealcoating adds an improvement to the appearance of the asphalt.  The asphalt that has received sealcoating will look clean and black after the process.  This will make the surface look new and it will give an impression that you are spending your money on improving your property.  People will be attracted to your parking lot and come there to spend their time.

One item to consider when sealcoating is the timing of the operation.  The sealcoating should occur at different times in the pavements life.  Our team will come to your site and help you determine the appropriate timing for the asphalt.  This recommendation will add years of life to your asphalt.

Another protective benefit from the sealcoating is that it will help reduce the effects of rain, snow and general deterioration of the asphalt.  There is noting that can completely protect the pavement, but we have found that sealcoating will help the pavement last many years.  Combining this with the regular asphalt repair items will play an important part in the asphalt pavement life cycle.

This service is for property owners and commercial property managers that want to spend a little bit of money right now instead of paying a large amount of money later on an even bigger project. This service will help maintain the asphalt and it will give your asphalt a new look every time it is completed.
