FAQs

How much does asphalt paving cost?

The cost of asphalt paving depends on several factors, including the size and shape of the area, existing surface conditions, site access, and the type of materials used. Other cost drivers include grading, drainage preparation, and whether it's a new install or a replacement. At Asphalt Renewal LLC, we offer free, no-obligation estimates so you can get a clear picture of what your project will cost—upfront, honest, and with no hidden fees.

How long does a typical project take?

Residential driveways usually take about 1 to 2 days from start to finish. However, more complex jobs—like commercial parking lots, long driveways, or road repairs—may require additional time depending on scope, weather conditions, and curing needs. We pride ourselves on staying on schedule and minimizing disruption to your daily routine while ensuring every detail is completed with care and quality.

Do I need to sealcoat my driveway?

Absolutely. Sealcoating is a crucial step in preserving your asphalt. It forms a protective barrier against moisture, sun damage, chemicals, and oxidation, which helps prevent cracks and fading. We recommend applying a high-quality asphalt sealant every 2 to 3 years to maintain the look and strength of your driveway. Not only does this extend the life of your surface, but it also keeps it looking clean and polished year-round.

Can asphalt be repaired, or do I need to replace it?

Many asphalt issues—like surface cracks, small holes, or depressions—can be repaired through crack filling, patching, or overlays. However, if the base layer is damaged or the surface has extensive wear, full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. Joe Teague will assess your surface and provide honest advice on what’s best for your needs and budget, always prioritizing long-term value.

What’s the difference between tar and chip and asphalt?

Both are effective, but they serve different purposes. Asphalt is smooth, durable, and ideal for driveways, parking lots, and high-traffic areas. Tar and chip, on the other hand, uses liquid asphalt and layers of stone for a textured, rustic look. It’s a lower-cost option with good traction and durability, often chosen for rural roads, ranch properties, and private lanes. We'll help you decide which option fits your style, budget, and performance goals.
