The different ways to repair a driveway Asphalt driveways do not last forever. Over time, weath- er and general usage can de- grade the driveway surface, resulting in cracks, pitting and more. Ultraviolet rays, salt and automotive fluids al- so can affect the appearance and functionality of a drive- way. An unsightly driveway can adversely affect curb ap- peal and resale potential. Homeowners have to con- sider various factors when it comes to repairing driveways. They may have the option of getting the driveway resur- faced, resealed or repaved, and each project is unique. RESURFACING According to the home im- provement price comparison site Kompare It, resurfacing is simpler and faster than in- stalling a new asphalt drive- way. With resurfacing, any cracks are filled in to create an even base. Then a new lay- er of asphalt is applied over the existing one. That new layer can range in thickness from 1.5 to 3 inches. A heavy roll- ing machine will then smooth and flatten the layers togeth- er. If the driveway has mi- nor pitting or cracking, then resurfacing can be a cost-ef- fective strategy, as it may be a $ 3,000 to $ 6,000 job as op- posed to $5,000 to $10,000 with repaving. RESEALING Resealing a driveway, also called sealcoating, is another repair strategy. HGT V says resealing can be a do-it-your- self project. Resealing helps the driveway last longer. The driveway needs to be clean and dry, with holes and cracks filled prior to sealcoat- ing. Start at the far edge of the driveway and seal that area by "cutting-in" by hand for a neat edge. A fterward the rest of the driveway can be sealed using a squeegee or broom. This project can be completed with- in two or three days if no pre- cipitation is forecast. REPAVING A project best left to pro- fessionals, repaving typical- ly involves the removal of an existing driveway and the in- stallation of a new one. The sub-grade layer is essential in the process for a smooth look. Contractors also will assess soil and grading when doing work. The construction blog Main Infrastructure says the new asphalt driveway can vary in thickness between two and six inches, depending on bud- get and need. The contractor also can advise if full-depth as- phalt application or an aggre- gate base is practical. Assessing the condition of driveway can give homeown- ers a better idea about which type of repair project best suits their property.
