ASPHALT FAQs

Q: What does it mean to remove and replace asphalt?

A: Removal and replacement of asphalt means that we will remove your existing asphalt all the way to the stone base. We will then install new layers of binder asphalt and surface asphalt. This is appropriate when there are signs of deterioration like deep cracking and potholes.

Q: What does resurfacing/overlaying asphalt mean?

A: When we resurface your asphalt, it means that we will mill the surface layers of your asphalt off and install new surface asphalt.  This scope of work is dependent on the condition of your existing asphalt.

Q: How long should an asphalt driveway or parking lot last?

A: The lifespan of an asphalt driveway or parking lot is dependent on factors such as the amount of vehicle traffic, heavy vehicle traffic and weather damage. 15-25 years is the average life span of asphalt, but asphalt maintenance is everything when it come to longevity.

Q: What does it mean to "mill" asphalt?

A:  Milling is the term used for grinding off layers of asphalt. It provides a smooth and even surface to repave. Milling is great for pavement that has surface damage like cracking, raveling or unevenness. It leaves the base intact making this a more cost-effective asphalt maintenance option.

Q: What does "industry standards" mean and why does it matter?

A: This is so important! When we say that we follow "industry standards" it means that we aren't taking shortcuts when it comes to the depth of materials that we are installing. For example - industry standard is to pave over a minimum of 6" of stone, after compaction. Following industry standards leaves our customers with a long lasting product.  We can match competitor bids that are not to industry standard, but we will not warranty the work. If you're going to do the work, let's do it right!

Q: What does "after compaction" mean?

  A: Our pricing accounts for material depth after compaction. So when we say we are installing 2" of asphalt, it means that you will be left with 2" of asphalt after compaction, or after we roll the asphalt. Our pricing may be higher than some of our competitors, but it's the difference of getting the proper amount of material required for a long lasting parking lot or driveway.
