  • When should I replace asphalt pavement?

  • How do potholes form?

    Potholes in blacktop paving typically occur due to low-quality asphalt, insufficient thickness in certain areas, or drainage issues that weaken the base of the pavement.

  • Does leaking oil from vehicles cause damage to the asphalt?

    Vehicle oils can cause damage by softening the asphalt and breaking down its binding components. Our team can address this issue with our professional asphalt paving repair services.

    The duration of striping varies depending on the project size and type. Our asphalt paving contractors can complete small projects in as little as five minutes, while larger projects may take over 10 hours.

  • How long does the striping last?

    With proper maintenance, striping typically lasts about a year. However, in areas with harsh weather conditions, more frequent re-striping may be necessary. Our blacktop paving experts can assist you with this service.

  • When should I re-stripe?

    We advise re-striping when approximately 75% of the original color has faded. In areas with harsh weather or high traffic, annual re-striping may be necessary. Spring is generally the ideal time for this service. Contact our parking lot paving team to schedule your re-striping.

    Sealcoating is a protective measure that helps maintain the appearance of asphalt and extends its lifespan by preventing weather-related damage and oxidation. Contact our team for professional asphalt paving and sealcoating services.
