Asphalt Resurfacing

A new layer of asphalt over your existing surface. Fixes cracks, evens out wear, and gives your driveway or lot a fresh start without the cost of full replacement.

Resurfacing, also called an asphalt overlay, is an effective solution when your existing surface is structurally sound but showing signs of wear: surface cracks, roughness, minor depressions, and general aging. Instead of tearing everything out and starting from scratch, we apply a fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt over the existing base.

This approach saves significant time and money compared to full-depth replacement while delivering a surface that looks and performs like new. Capital Paving evaluates every project carefully to make sure resurfacing is the right solution. If the base has failed, we'll tell you honestly and recommend the appropriate repair.

What's Included

Thorough assessment of existing surface condition
Milling or grinding of damaged areas as needed
Crack repair and base patching
Tack coat application for proper adhesion
Hot-mix asphalt overlay at specified thickness
Machine paving with precision grade control
Edge matching and transition grading
Roller compaction for smooth, dense finish

Resurfacing is ideal for driveways, parking lots, and roads where the foundation is still intact but the surface has deteriorated. It typically adds 10 to 15 years of life to an existing asphalt surface.

Common Questions

Asphalt resurfacing FAQ

How do I know if my surface can be resurfaced?

Resurfacing works best when the existing base is structurally sound but the surface shows wear like minor cracking, roughness, or fading. If you have deep potholes, extensive alligator cracking, or drainage issues, a full replacement may be needed. We assess every surface before recommending a solution.

How long does a resurfaced driveway last?

A properly done asphalt overlay typically lasts 10 to 15 years, especially with regular seal coating maintenance. The exact lifespan depends on traffic, drainage, and weather exposure.

Is resurfacing cheaper than a full replacement?

Yes, significantly. Because we skip the full excavation and base installation, resurfacing generally costs 30 to 50 percent less than a complete tear-out and repave. It's also faster to complete.
