— The Importance of asphalt Maintenance

  • Preventative Care: Regular maintenance reduces the risk of costly repairs or replacement.

  • Curb Appeal: Properly maintained asphalt enhances the appearance of your property.

  • Cost Savings: Timely repairs and maintenance extend the lifespan of your investment.

 FAQs

  • Not at all. Resurfacing involves adding a new layer of asphalt over the existing one, which is cost-effective and quicker.

    Full replacement, however, requires removing the old asphalt and rebuilding from the base up, which is more expensive and time-intensive.

  • Spring and early summer are ideal for asphalt maintenance in the DMV region because the weather is more consistent, and repairs can be set properly without being disrupted by freezing temperatures or excessive rain.

  • Regular maintenance is recommended every 2-3 years, depending on usage, weather conditions, and exposure to heavy traffic.

  • We provide an honest assessment to determine whether resurfacing or a complete removal and installation of a new driveway is the most cost-effective solution for you.

    Generally, we recommend completely removing the existing asphalt surface if more than 20-40% of the driveway shows certain types of cracks. Our priority is to ensure you receive the best advice for a durable and long-lasting driveway.

  • Absolutely. In Mid-Atlantic regions like Maryland, where seasonal rains and snow are common, water can seep into small cracks, freeze, and expand, causing the cracks to widen and weaken the surface over time. Addressing these cracks early saves money and extends the lifespan of your asphalt.

  • Yes, sealcoating acts as a preventative measure by protecting against UV damage, water infiltration, and everyday wear. Even if your asphalt looks fine, sealcoating every few years helps keep it that way for longer.
