Asphalt Overlay Services in Illinois by Irish Castle Paving

Resurfacing is an efficient way to restore a driveway or parking lot without demolition and complete replacement. This process involves applying a new material layer over existing pavement, improving its appearance and functionality. If your pavement has minor surface damage but the base is still stable, an overlay can provide a fresh, smooth surface at a fraction of the cost of reconstruction.

Benefits of Overlay Versus “Rip Out & Replace”

• Cost-Effective: Compared to full-depth reconstruction, this method saves time and money while delivering excellent results.
• Improved Appearance: Resurfacing refreshes worn surfaces, making driveways and parking lots look like new.
• Extended Lifespan: By adding a durable layer of protection, overlays can extend the life of your existing pavement.
• Quick Installation: The process is faster than complete replacement, reducing downtime for your property.

Asphalt Milling: Preparing for a Perfect Overlay

To ensure the success of an asphalt overlay, proper preparation is essential. This often involves milling, a technique where the top layer of damaged material is removed to create a smooth surface for the overlay to bond effectively. Milling helps eliminate irregularities and ensures the new layer adheres seamlessly to the underlying surface.

Asphalt Over Concrete

For properties with concrete bases, asphalt overlays over concrete are an option that can work only if the concrete pavement is in very good shape. By leveraging the structural integrity of the existing concrete, our team can apply a durable asphalt overlay that blends strength and beauty. This solution is perfect for driveways and parking lots with intact concrete base, but the surface needs an upgrade.
