Jacksonville Asphalt Overlay Services

Jacksonville asphalt overlay is an excellent solution for your parking lot damage problem. While asphalt is a durable material, it can be susceptible to sun and water damage.

1. Indications

If you are wondering whether you need an asphalt overlay, consider evaluating the condition of your parking lot pavement. Overlaying is an excellent solution for:

•         Uneven asphalt surfaces
•         Cracks
•         Potholes

If you take care of asphalt damage quickly, you can avoid costly repaving. Besides being highly inconvenient, asphalt damage can be dangerous. Potholes are a major tripping hazard, which could lead to expensive personal injury lawsuits.

As soon as you spot a pothole, you need to take care of it immediately. Allowing it to sit there could lead to further damage, and repaving may become unavoidable.

2. Process

The process of Jacksonville asphalt overlay is different from repaving. Here are the steps we take to make sure your parking lot is as good as new:

•         Remove the top asphalt layer in the damaged area. We remove up to three inches of your old asphalt. The layer thickness depends on the depth of the crack or pothole.
•         Once the top layer is off, we repair and fill the cracks and potholes. Our team always inspects the parking lot thoroughly to discover the cause of the damage. By removing the cause, we prevent the problem from occurring again.
•         When the asphalt base is repaired, we apply a fresh layer of asphalt.

Unlike repaving, overlaying doesn’t require you to remove the entire surface layer or grade the underlying soil.

3. Life Expectancy

With the right approach to asphalt maintenance, a new pavement can last for 15 to 20 years. However, the overlay stays intact for about 10 to 15 years. So if you want the pavement to last longer, you may want to consider full repaving.

We recommend our clients to consider repaving since it is:

•         Fast – we get the job done in 24 to 48 years (depending on the weather conditions)
•         Convenient – you only have to close off one part of your parking, leaving the rest available to clients and employees.
•         Cost-effective –  Jacksonville asphalt overlay is less expensive than repaving. However, it yields similar results.
