Resurfacing
Asphalt Milling & Resurfacing
Mill and overlay is often the best value in commercial asphalt work. Grinding off the top inch or two of failed surface, then placing a fresh asphalt lift on the retained base, gives you a like-new surface at a fraction of the cost of a full rebuild.
When milling and overlay is the right call
It works when your base is still sound but the surface has failed. If cores show the base is compromised, an overlay just cracks in the same places within a few seasons. We take samples before we quote so the recommendation is honest.
The milling and resurfacing process
- Core samples to confirm base condition
- Mill 1 to 2 inches from the existing surface
- Sweep and tack coat the milled base
- Adjust drainage structures and utility covers
- Place new hot-mix asphalt lift and compact
- Restripe, remark, and re-seal joints
Why property owners choose it
Faster than a full rebuild. Cheaper than a full rebuild. Restores appearance, drainage, and ride quality. Keeps the site operational during the work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does mill and overlay last?
A well-executed mill and overlay in the Carolinas typically delivers 12 to 20 years of service before the next major intervention.
Do we need to close the whole lot?
No. We phase by section. Most lots stay operational throughout.
