Overlay Services: Resurfacing You Can Trust
This paving technique involves applying a new layer over an existing surface, utilizing it as a base. In cases of severe damage like large cracks or potholes, milling may start the process. Assessing the existing asphalt’s structural condition is crucial, ensuring surfaces with extensive damage are addressed appropriately.
Milling removes damaged surface layers, providing a smooth base for the new pavement. The extracted material is recycled for sustainable paving practices. Base repair becomes necessary for areas with potholes or sinking, ensuring a stable foundation. Once prepared, a 1.5″ to 2″ thick asphalt layer is applied to the milled surface, creating a brand new top layer that will last for another decade. Each step in this repair process requires precision and expertise to ensure a durable and resilient paved surface.
Overlay Versus Sealcoating
Choosing between these two services depends on the extent of damage and long-term pavement maintenance goals. An overlay acts as a patch job for paved areas displaying issues like cracks or potholes. However, it’s essential to note that overlaying does not address underlying problems. Cracks in the current surface may resurface within a year or two, akin to adding another layer of shingles to an existing roof.
Sealcoating is comparable to applying a protective coat of paint to your house. It involves the application of a thin layer over the existing surface that deters wear and safeguards against water penetration, spills, and sunlight damage. A sealcoat is only meant for minor surface imperfections, so overlay is more efficient for pavement with more extensive damage.
