Asphalt is one of the most popular paving materials due to its durability and affordability. Our team specializes in asphalt paving for both residential and commercial projects. We offer a variety of asphalt services, including repairs, installations, and maintenance.
Yes, we offer eco-friendly paving options including permeable pavement and recycled asphalt. These options are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective.
Regular maintenance for asphalt pavement includes sealcoating, crack sealing, and regular cleaning to prevent damage and extend the lifespan of the pavement.
The lifespan of asphalt can vary depending on various factors such as climate, usage, maintenance, and quality of the installation. On average, well-maintained asphalt surfaces can last between 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can significantly extend the life of your asphalt.
Asphalt installation is ideally done during warmer months, typically in spring, summer, or early fall. The warmer temperatures help the asphalt to set and cure properly. However, with proper precautions, asphalt can be installed year-round, except during extreme weather conditions like heavy rain, snow, or freezing temperatures.
Sealcoating is an essential maintenance step that helps protect your asphalt from the damaging effects of UV rays, oxidation, and moisture. It is generally recommended to sealcoat your asphalt every 2 to 3 years, but this can vary depending on the condition of your pavement and the amount of traffic it receives.
Yes, we offer professional crack repair services. Small cracks can be repaired using a crack filler, while larger cracks may require more extensive repairs such as patching or saw-cutting and removing the damaged section. Our team will assess the condition of your asphalt and recommend the most appropriate repair method.
Freshly installed asphalt typically takes anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to cure, depending on the weather conditions. During this curing period, it is important to avoid any heavy traffic or placing heavy objects on the surface to allow it to set properly.
After the asphalt has cured, you can typically resume regular use. However, it is important to avoid any sharp turns or sudden braking for the first few weeks to allow the surface to fully harden and set.
In some cases, it is possible to pave over existing asphalt if it is in good condition and structurally sound. However, it is important to assess the condition of the existing asphalt to ensure a solid base for the new pavement. Our team will evaluate your pavement and provide you with the best recommendation for your specific situation.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all our asphalt services. Simply contact us to schedule an appointment, and our team will visit your location, assess your needs, and provide you with a detailed and transparent estimate for the project.
