What Causes Asphalt to Deteriorate?
· Harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles

· Heavy vehicle loads

· Standing water and poor drainage

· UV exposure breaking down binding agents

Recognizing the cause helps determine the right solution.

When Should You Repair Asphalt?
Repair is ideal when:

· Cracks are small (less than ¼ inch wide)

· Surface damage is localized

· Base layer remains intact

Services include:

· Crack filling

· Pothole patching

· Sealcoating

When is Resurfacing the Better Option?
Resurfacing (overlaying a new asphalt layer) works when:

· The surface is aging but still structurally sound

· There’s widespread cracking or surface fatigue

· You’re not ready for a full replacement

Benefits:

· Cost-effective vs. full repaving

· Boosts curb appeal

· Adds years of usability

When Replacement is Necessary
If your asphalt has:

· Deep cracks

· Drainage problems

· Multiple repair patches

…it’s time to invest in full repaving.
