When Resurfacing Is the Right Fix
Resurfacing works when the base underneath is still structurally sound. These are the signs that point to it:
- Surface cracks and fading across the pavement.
- Rough patches and shallow wear.
- Minor potholes that have been repaired before.
- A driveway or lot that is dull but still drains well.
Replacement makes more sense when the base has failed or drainage problems are severe, and honest asphalt resurfacing contractors will say so. We assess this at your free estimate and tell you what we find.
Resurfacing, Sealcoating, and Replacement
These three services are often confused. Here is the difference:
- Sealcoating: A protective coating over existing asphalt that shields it from water, oil, and UV damage. We recommend it every two to three years.
- Resurfacing: A new layer of asphalt placed over the old surface.
- Replacement: Removing the old pavement and rebuilding from the base up.
Our
sealcoating and striping page explains the first option in more detail.

How Do I Know if My Base Is Still Sound?
A professional needs to look at it. Cracks, drainage problems, and soft spots can all point to base damage. We check this during your free on-site estimate.
