What Asphalt Resurfacing Involves in Coconut Creek, FL
An overlay is only as good as what lies under it, so most of the work is preparation and checking. Your estimate lists each of the steps below that the property needs, with its price:
- Pavement testing pushes a probe through the old asphalt into the stone beneath, which shows whether an overlay is a sound purchase before money changes hands.
- Crack and patch preparation fixes the worst defects first, because open cracks reflect up through fresh asphalt within a season.
- Cleaning and tack coat means a thorough sweep followed by a sprayed emulsion that makes the new course stick to the old pavement.
- Asphalt overlay lays a 1.5 to 2 inch course of hot mix over the whole area and restores an even finish.
- Driveway resurfacing refreshes a worn driveway while keeping the height at the garage door and the street in check.
- Parking lot resurfacing moves through a lot in zones so customers and deliveries can still get in.
- Mill and overlay planes away the worn top inch before new asphalt goes on, so the finished grade stays level with curbs and drains.
- Edge shaping tapers the borders and smooths small dips, which lets storm water run off rather than gather.
- Asphalt repaving takes out and replaces the whole section if the stone below cannot carry an overlay, and the estimator tells you so up front.
