What is asphalt driveway resurfacing?

When patching and repairs are long overdue, we offer complete resurfacing.

 

Driveway resurfacing involves pouring a new asphalt overlay 1.5″ to 2.0″ thick over the old layer. Contractors patch cracks and holes or grind off the top layer to remove all damage. Then they spread and compact new asphalt with a machine roller. Resurfacing is cheaper than repaving.

We offer Residential and Commercial Paving

Residential Paving

Having a paved driveway also cuts down on dirt, dust, and muddy paw/footprints in your home and eliminates the yearly struggle of clearing rocks off your lawn from plowing and the need for regrading and repairs from spring washouts.

Crack Filling

Crack filling is a preventative maintenance action that keeps water from getting under the asphalt and weakening the sub base which causes major deterioration.

We only use the best quality; therefore, we use hot rubberized crack sealant, which is the most effective, safest and most durable solution to seal all cracks.

Driveway Paving

One of the most popular services we provide to homeowners is driveway paving. In order to ensure a long, trouble-free surface, there are a number of factors which must be considered when undertaking a driveway paving project. We provide a free, on-site evaluation as part of our written quotation as experience has taught us that this is the only way to accurately understand the project scope and requirements. We can cut curbs… but we never cut corners.

As with many things in life, a proper foundation is essential for achieving a successful outcome. Paving is no exception! The final asphalt surface is only as good as the foundation it is applied over. At Bowlby Paving, we offer a comprehensive list of services related to proper site preparation. The overall objective is to ensure that the sub-base is sound and meets the design requirements. Each project is somewhat unique and can include engineering and design services, excavation and soil stabilization, site grading, base compacting, and water and storm drainage systems to name a few of the important considerations.

DRIVEWAY REPAIR

In some cases, homeowners ask us to repair an existing paved driveway. We begin by determining what caused the problem in the first place. There are many potential reasons why paving might fail including tree roots, failed sub-grade, poor drainage, incorrect installation, poor design or simply old age! Poor drainage whether standing water or sub-surface moisture is also a major source of driveway failure. In either instance, we can help and would welcome the opportunity to provide a free no-obligation quote.

DRIVEWAY RESURFACING

Often, our clients just desire to have a new look and a straight-forward resurfacing is all that is required. Driveway resurfacing involves applying a layer of asphalt over the existing driveway to make it look new. This typically will also address any low spots on the driveway assuming there are no significant foundation issues. Otherwise, complete excavation and removal of the old asphalt surface, compacting and grading of the sub-base foundation and the application of asphalt as in a new driveway installation is required.

Commercial Paving

PARKING LOT PAVING

From small retail and service centres to strip malls and major commercial and industrial centers, Bowlby Paving has the experience, manpower, and equipment to handle your commercial paving requirements. Various factors such as vehicle size and weight distribution are considered to ensure proper design and depth of the asphalt base of the underlayment as well as the asphalt surface coat.

PARKING LOT RESURFACING AND REPAIR

In addition to new parking lot construction, we also provide repair and resurfacing services for existing parking lots. We will carefully perform an on-site inspection to determine the exact requirements as part of preparing a free quotation. When necessary, we will remove and dispose of the old asphalt from the areas in need of repair, inspect the sub-base, excavate, add new material, and compact to create a new foundation, and inspect all catch basins. Following the preparation work, we will do a final grade inspection.

Our Sealcoating services are available for both residential and commercial properties.
Routine maintenance, proper crack sealing and sealcoating, can double the life of your asphalt.
Sealcoating will provide a layer of protection blocking out the elements: water, oils, and U.V. damage. In addition, when applied to manufacturers’ specifications, sealcoating provides a slip-resistant surface and prevents further cracking and chipping. It provides a deep black finish that beautifies the parking lot or driveway. The sealcoat is in a liquid formulation of one of the above emulsions, mixed with water, silica sand, polymer additives, and other proprietary fillers and solids. 
We don’t cut corners, we only use the best products available!

Maintenance

A regularly scheduled sealcoating program will more than double the life of the asphalt, saving you significant dollars down the line. Instead of having to pay thousands of dollars for new pavement, it is more cost-effective to spend only pennies on the dollar per square foot to maintain.
Sealcoating should not be applied until your paving is completely cured. Usually 1 to 2 years after installing the new asphalt.

Infra Red Heat system

Bowlby’s Paving owns an Infra-Red Heat System, which makes pothole repairs look “Like New.”

Repairs to asphalt such as Potholes and “birdbaths” repaired using a portable infrared asphalt heater are superior and much more professional than using cold-applied asphalt fillers such as tamped-in pothole patches.
This is because you are heating the asphalt making it pliable and adding fresh or recycled asphalt to the heated area, which allows for a much more permanent and professional repair. Infrared technology allows you to heat up and soften damaged areas so that they can be reworked and compacted to appear brand new. 
This unit can also be used to seamlessly patch cracks in parking lots and driveways. This machine is an all-season piece of equipment, allowing us to work during winter.
