Resurface

Asphalt Resurfacing in Baltimore, MD

Despite the prevalent misconception, asphalt resurfacing does not degrade the underlying pavement structure. This restoration process is entirely beneficial, enhancing the durability and appearance of existing asphalt surfaces when executed correctly. At AID Paving, our team takes the proper steps to keep your resurfaced driveway or parking lot looking and performing like new.

We thoroughly assess and prepare the existing area and apply the ideal thickness of fresh pavement. Our team knows the precise techniques and materials required to achieve optimal results without harming the original structure. We employ industry-leading equipment to compact and seal the new surface, offering a flawless finish. 

What Is Resurfacing?

Asphalt resurfacing is a cornerstone of modern pavement maintenance, providing a non-invasive method to enhance and extend the life of roadways, driveways, and parking lots. This process involves applying a new asphalt layer over the existing pavement, typically between 1.5 to 2 inches thick. The new asphalt layer is expertly laid down to bond with the old layer, revitalizing the surface without requiring complete excavation and replacement.

The resurfacing technique effectively addresses a variety of common pavement issues. It is designed to smooth over imperfections such as:

  • Surface deterioration, like small cracks and potholes that develop over time due to weather and wear
  • Raveling or the loss of aggregate from the asphalt surface which causes roughness
  • Moderate rutting: from repeated traffic, particularly from heavy vehicles
  • Fading and staining due to oxidation and spilled substances
  • Water damage from inadequate drainage or water penetration

Our Resurfacing Process in Baltimore County

We employ a comprehensive asphalt resurfacing process to deliver superior durability and performance. Using high-quality asphalt materials, our team follows a detailed procedure to verify that each resurfacing project meets our strict standards.

Our process includes:

  • Initial evaluation: We start by assessing the current condition of your pavement to determine if resurfacing is the most effective solution. This evaluation helps identify any critical issues that need addressing before we apply the new asphalt layer.
  • Surface preparation: We clean the existing asphalt surface and make any necessary repairs, such as filling cracks or fixing potholes, to create a strong bond between the old and new layers of asphalt.
  • Applying tack coat: Our team applies a tack coat of asphalt emulsion to the cleaned and repaired surface. This coat acts as a glue that helps the new asphalt layer adhere properly to the existing surface.
  • Laying new asphalt: We use advanced paving equipment to spread and compact the asphalt evenly, resulting in a smooth and durable surface.
  • Compaction: We compact the asphalt with rollers to eliminate air pockets and keep a tightly packed surface. Proper compaction is essential for the longevity and performance of the resurfaced area.
  • Finishing touches: We blend the edges of the new asphalt into the surrounding areas for a seamless transition. We apply additional finishing touches as needed based on the project’s specific requirements.

Why Consider Resurfacing Instead of Replacing?

Resurfacing utilizes fewer materials and requires less extensive labor than a full tear-out and replacement, leading to substantial cost savings. This process is far less disruptive than full pavement replacement. The process is quicker and does not involve extensive excavation, allowing for shorter project times and reduced operational disruptions. This is particularly advantageous for commercial venues, where businesses can continue to operate with minimal interference, reducing potential lost revenue during construction.

From an environmental standpoint, resurfacing generates less waste since the existing materials are retained and merely refreshed, reducing the volume of debris sent to landfills. This approach conserves resources by decreasing the demand for new raw materials and the energy expended in production and transport. 

Resurfacing also allows homeowners to preserve the unique character of their spaces while modernizing them. It retains original architectural features to maintain the heritage and charm of the property. This is especially valuable in historic homes where authenticity adds to the property’s appeal and value. It provides numerous customization options, enabling property owners to tailor their spaces to current trends or personal preferences without undergoing extensive renovations.
