Asphalt resurfacing installs a new hot-mix overlay on top of a sound existing base. When the underlying base is still stable but the surface has aged or worn, resurfacing restores the pavement at a fraction of the cost of full reconstruction, and a properly placed overlay lasts 15 to 20 years.

What this service includes
Every project from Maisano Brothers Inc. covers the work that makes the result last.
Surface and base evaluation
We walk the pavement, probe weak spots, and confirm the base is sound enough to support an overlay — the single most important call in any resurfacing decision.
Milling of the existing wearing course
We mill the worn surface to a controlled depth so the new overlay ties cleanly into curbs, gutters, drainage structures, and adjacent pavement.
Spot base repair
Any soft or failed areas exposed by milling are dug out and replaced before the overlay goes down, so problems do not telegraph through the new surface.
Hot-mix asphalt overlay
We place an engineered hot-mix asphalt overlay sized to the actual traffic load — typically 1.5 to 2 inches for residential, more for commercial and roadway.
Compaction and clean transitions
Every pass is rolled to full density and the new surface is detailed at edges, transitions, and intersections for a clean professional finish.
When this service makes sense
- Your driveway or lot looks worn and faded but is not failing structurally.
- Cracks are surface-level, not pattern cracking that signals base failure.
- Drainage is generally correct and water sheds off the surface.
- The existing base was originally built to a proper depth for the loads it carries.
- You want to extend pavement life without the cost and disruption of full reconstruction.

We provide a clear written estimate and schedule the work around your operations or family routine.
- 3
Milling and base repair
We mill the worn surface and patch any base issues exposed during milling.
- 4
Hot-mix overlay
We pave the new surface course with hot-mix asphalt at proper temperature and roll to full compaction.
- 5
Final detailing and walkthrough
We detail transitions, address striping where required, and walk the finished surface with you.
Materials, equipment, and quality
The standards and details that separate work built to last from work built to look finished.
Honest base assessment
We tell you when resurfacing is the wrong answer. A new overlay on a failed base is wasted money and we will not sell you one.
Proper milling depth
We mill to a controlled depth that lets the new overlay tie in clean at curbs, drains, and adjacent surfaces — no awkward bumps at the edges.
Engineered overlay thickness
We size the overlay to the actual traffic load, not a one-size template.
Full-density compaction
Every layer is rolled to specification — under-compaction is the most common cause of premature overlay failure.

How long does asphalt resurfacing last?
A properly placed asphalt overlay on a sound base lasts 15 to 20 years when sealcoated periodically and cracks are addressed early.
When is resurfacing the wrong choice?
Resurfacing is the wrong choice when the underlying base has failed — pattern cracking, settlement, or potholes that keep returning indicate the base needs to be rebuilt, not overlaid. We will tell you when that is the case.
How much does asphalt resurfacing cost compared to replacement?
Resurfacing is typically 40 to 60 percent of the cost of full reconstruction. The exact saving depends on milling depth, overlay thickness, and the amount of base repair required.
Will the new surface match the height of my garage or curbs?
Yes. We mill the existing surface before paving so the new overlay ties into garages, curbs, and drainage structures at the original elevation.
How soon can I drive on a resurfaced driveway?
You can typically drive on a resurfaced driveway after about three days. The surface stays soft in hot weather for several weeks — avoid parking in the same spot and keep heavy vehicles off it for the first month.
