Restore the appearance and function of aging asphalt without automatically replacing the entire pavement. Our overlay services add a new surface over a suitable existing base.
Pavement can become rough, faded, cracked, or uneven after years of traffic and exposure. When the underlying structure remains stable, an asphalt overlay may provide a practical way to renew the surface. Houston Asphalt and Concrete installs overlays on qualifying driveways, parking lots, access lanes, and private roadways.
The process involves preparing the existing pavement and placing a new asphalt layer over the surface. Depending on its condition, preparation may include cleaning, localized repairs, edge work, leveling, or milling selected areas. The new layer is then placed and compacted to create a smoother driving surface with an improved appearance.
Not every damaged pavement is suitable for an overlay. Extensive base failure, major drainage problems, or widespread movement may require more substantial reconstruction. Our asphalt overlay contractors assess the visible condition of the pavement before recommending resurfacing. This evaluation helps determine whether an overlay can provide an appropriate result or another pavement repair service is needed.

Learn how pavement evaluation, surface preparation, asphalt placement, and compaction work together during an overlay project.
Describe the size, age, and visible condition of your asphalt surface so our team can discuss available options.
When the existing foundation remains serviceable, an asphalt overlay can cover widespread surface wear and provide a smoother, more uniform finish.
The success of an asphalt overlay depends on the stability of the existing pavement and the quality of the preparation. We examine the surface carefully before planning the new asphalt layer.
We review cracking, depressions, movement, drainage concerns, and base stability to determine whether overlaying is appropriate.
Cleaning, repairs, leveling, and transition work are completed as needed before the new asphalt layer is installed.
The overlay is placed with attention to thickness, surface transitions, drainage direction, and the intended use of the pavement.
Proper compaction helps create a smoother, denser surface that is ready to support regular vehicle traffic.
