Concrete tends to have a longer lifespan than asphalt, often lasting 25 years or more with proper maintenance, while asphalt typically lasts around 15-20 years. Concrete is a stronger material and can stand up to heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. Asphalt, while cheaper upfront, needs more frequent maintenance and sealing.
So, while concrete requires a larger initial investment, it can save you money in the long run because it needs fewer repairs!
Absolutely! We can repair large cracks and potholes in asphalt with a variety of methods, from simple patching to resurfacing the whole area if needed. The key is to address the issue before it grows bigger, as water and dirt can make cracks worse over time.
A timely repair will have your asphalt looking like new again, keeping your parking lot safe and smooth for everyone. In other words, don’t wait for those small cracks to turn into giant problems!
Yes, asphalt can be repaved over existing asphalt as long as the base layer is stable and free from significant damage. This process, called overlay paving, is a cost-effective way to improve the look and functionality of your parking lot or driveway without the need to tear everything out.
The existing asphalt is typically cleaned and prepped before applying a fresh layer of asphalt, providing a durable surface that will last for many years. Repaving is a good choice to go with when your surface shows signs of wear but remains structurally sound.
Asphalt paving is a pretty quick process, typically taking just one to two days for a standard parking lot or driveway. The installation time depends on the size of the area and the weather conditions, but we make sure to work efficiently so you’re back to business with minimal disruption.
The curing process, though, can take 24-48 hours before you can drive on it. So, we’ll be fast, but you’ll need to give it a little time to settle before you roll in.
The best time for paving is during the warmer months, typically between April and October. While we can pave in the winter, it’s trickier because extreme cold can affect the curing process, and no one wants to deal with that!
Warm temperatures make the job quicker and make sure that your new surface has time to cure properly. Plus, doing it during off-peak seasons means less disruption to your business operations.
