Services
Residential Paving
Our residential paving service transforms driveways with durable asphalt solutions that combine aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Using premium materials and proper installation techniques, we ensure long-lasting results that enhance property value. Our process includes thorough base preparation, precise asphalt application, and comprehensive quality checks to guarantee satisfaction.
Asphalt Resurfacing
This cost-effective solution extends pavement lifespan by applying a new asphalt layer over existing surfaces. We prepare surfaces with thorough cleaning and tack coating before installing ODOT #448 asphalt at recommended thickness. Our method prevents tripping hazards and ensures smooth transitions at structure intersections for lasting durability.
Pavement Milling
Pavement milling precisely removes existing asphalt layers to create a smooth foundation for overlays. Our recycling-focused approach processes milled materials for reuse in new pavement mixes. This environmentally conscious method maintains proper elevation while preparing surfaces for quality resurfacing solutions.
Sealcoating
Professional sealcoating protects asphalt surfaces from weather damage and chemical exposure. Our experienced crews apply high-quality sealer during optimal seasons to maximize protection. Regular maintenance through sealcoating extends pavement life while maintaining attractive appearances for residential and commercial properties.
Site Preparation
Proper site preparation ensures lasting pavement performance through precise grading and drainage solutions. Our experts establish correct elevations, install drainage systems, and create stable foundations that meet local codes. This critical phase prevents future structural issues while ensuring proper water management for pavement longevity.
