3 Major Benefits of Driveway Resurfacing

Asphalt is a durable and low-maintenance material for your driveway. However, like every part of your home, it requires occasional maintenance to look its best. Driveway resurfacing protects your asphalt from becoming excessively worn due to regular wear and tear. If you’re on the fence about resurfacing your pavement, consider these three key benefits.

The Advantages of Resurfacing Your Driveway

1. Safety
Resurfacing involves installing a new asphalt layer over your existing driveway, filling any cracks and depressions that might have formed after years of use. This is important because an uneven, cracked, and hole-filled surface is dangerous if left untreated. For example, people can trip and fall over rifts, and if you drive over loose asphalt, you can launch it into the air, risking injury to your vehicle and any bystanders. Resurfacing eliminates these potential hazards by creating a smooth, safe finish for your driveway.

2. Curb Appeal
Whether you’re trying to sell your property or simply boost your curb appeal, driveway resurfacing can help your home look its best. A faded, cracked driveway can make potential buyers question whether other parts of your home also need repairs, but a recently paved finish creates a great first impression.

3. Cost-Effective
Small fixes can quickly snowball into expensive repairs. If you’re constantly filling cracks and holes, resurfacing can offer a better solution for your time and money by creating a completely new surface. With proper maintenance, your asphalt should last around 30 years.
