ASPHALT RESURFACING
Give Your Asphalt An Immediate Upgrade

Asphalt resurfacing is more than a quick patch or cosmetic touch-up. It is the process of repairing the existing asphalt surface and applying a brand-new layer of asphalt over the top. This process removes small surface flaws, smooths uneven areas, and restores a rich, dark finish that looks brand-new. Unlike sealcoating, which simply adds a protective coating, resurfacing gives you an entirely new top layer of asphalt for a longer-lasting solution.

Resurfacing is typically recommended when the base layer of asphalt is still solid and stable. If your driveway has widespread surface damage but no major base failure, resurfacing is an ideal way to get the look and performance of a new driveway at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

When you schedule asphalt resurfacing with William Stanley & Sons, we make the process simple and predictable. First, our team inspects your driveway to confirm that resurfacing is the right solution. We then clean and prepare the existing surface, removing debris and addressing any cracks or potholes that need repair. Leveling is done where necessary to ensure proper drainage and a smooth finish.

Once the surface is prepared, we apply a fresh layer of hot mix asphalt and compact it with professional-grade rollers to create a dense, even surface. The result is a driveway that looks brand-new, with a rich black finish and a smoother ride under your tires. Our crews work efficiently, and most residential resurfacing projects can be completed in a day, weather permitting.

A resurfaced driveway can last anywhere from eight to fifteen years, depending on traffic volume, drainage, and how well it is maintained. Sealcoating every few years will protect the surface from UV rays, moisture, and chemicals, extending its lifespan even further. Taking care of small cracks when they appear will also prevent water from getting into the base layer and causing future damage.
