Your driveway may need repairs, but repaving the entire surface isn’t always feasible. Fortunately, you can hire an experienced contractor for driveway resurfacing to give the concrete a new look at a fraction of the cost. Guarco Construction has provided residential paving since 1974. Here's how to know when it’s time to revitalize your pavement.

3 Signs Your Driveway Needs Resurfacing

1. Cracking & Crumbling
Cracking is part of the normal aging process for your driveway. However, excessive cracking — which can mean either a high quantity or several long, deep cracks — is a cause for concern. Driveway resurfacing will remove these abnormalities to make the concrete look like new again.

2. Potholes
When cars drive over cracks, it can lead to potholes. One or two potholes may not be a concern for an older driveway, but if new potholes show up often, it’s time for resurfacing. If you wait until those potholes are very deep, you may end up replacing the entire driveway instead.

3. Bad Drainage
If you notice puddles on your driveway every time it rains, the surface is not draining water properly. If water pools on your pavement, it makes its way under the concrete and causes cracks and potholes to appear. When you invest in driveway resurfacing, it will prevent more expensive repairs down the road.

While it may seem easier to ignore signs of wear and tear, you should schedule pavement resurfacing when you notice significant damage.

Why Pavement Resurfacing Is Necessary

1. Safety
The driveway isn’t just a place to park your car or a way to get into your garage. It’s where your guests walk when they visit and where your kids and pets play. It’s more dangerous for little ones to roller skate, ride their bikes and scooters, or run when there is damage to your driveway. Pavement resurfacing can fix any imperfections and uneven areas, making it a safe place for your loved ones to walk and kids to play.

2. Moisture Control
When it rains, the water needs somewhere to go. Your driveway helps funnel precipitation away from your home and into lower areas where it can drain. When your driveway is damaged, the flow of water is interrupted and may collect in pools, where it can cause foundation issues or other moisture problems within your yard and home.

3. Aesthetics
As a homeowner, you take pride in your property. You want your house to show personality and style. If your driveway is not in great shape, the cracks and buckled pavement can take away from the overall look. Pavement resurfacing will create a smooth, beautiful surface that improves curb appeal.
