Revamp Your Asphalt: Resurfacing vs. Replacement

Not sure whether to replace or resurface your worn parking lot or driveway? Understanding the distinction between these two asphalt repair options can save you money!

In short, resurfacing is exactly what it sounds like–removing the top layer and replacing it with fresh asphalt. It can delay the need for new paving by 8 to 15 years. However, it’s crucial to hire a reliable asphalt paving contractor for lasting benefits.

Central Paving, your trusted asphalt expert in central WA, offers top-notch milling and resurfacing services to property owners seeking to rejuvenate their paved areas like driveways, roads, basketball courts, and parking lots.

When can you get your paved surfaces replaced? For minor damage, crack sealing and sealcoating is enough to prevent further deterioration. Likewise, too much damage, like failures in the base layer or many potholes, means you must rip out and replace your pavement completely.

Resurfacing is suitable when less than a quarter to 30% of the pavement requires repairs, the foundation is structurally sound, and cracks are shallow and narrow.

The Resurfacing Process: Preparation, Milling, and Overlay

The resurfacing process kicks off with preparation weeks ahead, as the new layer is only as robust as its foundation. Our asphalt milling process involves removing the deteriorated surface layer, followed by repairs to address any underlying issues. Then, our skilled team applies a fresh layer of asphalt, ensuring a smooth and durable finish that enhances the appearance and longevity of your pavement. For driveways, we’d be done, but we repaint all line striping and pavement markings for safe, ADA-compliant parking lots.

From initial assessment to final execution, our dedicated team prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction, delivering exceptional results that stand the test of time. With years of experience serving Ellensburg, Wenatchee, Moses Lake and communities across Washington, we understand the unique needs of each location and tailor our services to your specific property.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an overlay and milling?

An overlay places a new asphalt layer over the existing surface. Milling grinds off the worn top layer first, so the new layer can match existing curbs, drains and driveways instead of raising the grade.

Will resurfacing fix cracks?

Cracks should be sealed or patched first. Resurfacing over unrepaired cracks can let them reflect back through the new surface over time.
