Pueblo West Asphalt Resurfacing Contractor
When your asphalt looks tired but the base is still solid, resurfacing is the smart move. Pavco gives Pueblo West property owners a like-new surface without the cost of a full tearout.
Asphalt resurfacing is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a deteriorating surface in Pueblo West. Rather than tearing out everything and starting from scratch, Pavco mills away the worn top layer and installs fresh hot-mix asphalt over a sound existing base. The result is a smooth, durable surface that looks and performs like new at roughly half the cost of full replacement. See all of our Pueblo West asphalt services for a complete picture of how we support your property.
Resurfacing works best when the existing base is structurally intact and damage is limited to the top layer. Good candidates include surfaces with surface cracking, oxidation, and minor roughness but without widespread base failure or alligator cracking across large areas. Pavco provides free assessments to determine whether resurfacing or full asphalt paving is the right call for your situation.
We start by milling the existing surface to a consistent depth, removing damaged material while preserving the base. Any areas with base issues are addressed before the new layer goes down. We then apply a tack coat to ensure proper adhesion before laying and compacting the new hot-mix asphalt. The finished surface is smooth, dense, and ready for striping or sealcoating.
Commercial parking lots are prime candidates for resurfacing because the investment required for full replacement is substantial. If your lot has a solid base but a tired surface, our parking lot paving team can resurface the entire area quickly. Follow up with fresh parking lot striping for a completely refreshed appearance.
After resurfacing, sealcoating is highly recommended to protect the new asphalt from UV damage, water infiltration, and fuel spills. Pavco’s sealcoating services in Pueblo West can be scheduled shortly after resurfacing is complete, locking in the life of your new surface from day one.
Repaving involves removing all existing asphalt down to the base and starting fresh. Resurfacing mills only the top layer and installs new asphalt over the existing base. Resurfacing is faster and less expensive but only works when the base is structurally sound.
A properly resurfaced driveway or parking lot can last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance. Applying sealcoating every 3 to 5 years after resurfacing significantly extends that lifespan.
Typically 1.5 to 2 inches for residential applications and 2 to 3 inches for commercial. The appropriate depth depends on traffic load and the condition of the existing surface.
Potholes and severely damaged areas need to be repaired before resurfacing. We address all localized damage as part of the resurfacing project so the new surface layer has a uniform, stable base to bond to.
Most residential resurfacing projects are completed in one day. Larger commercial lots may take two to three days depending on size and complexity.
Light vehicle traffic is typically safe within 24 hours. We recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours for heavy trucks. Full curing takes several months.
We strongly recommend it. New asphalt is porous and begins oxidizing from day one. Sealcoating within the first year seals those pores and dramatically slows the aging process.
