Asphalt Repaving That Resets The Road Ahead
Every paved surface has a lifespan. At some point, patching cracks and sealing the top layer stop delivering real results.
That is where full pavement replacement comes in. Repaving allows worn asphalt surfaces to be removed, the foundation evaluated, and new asphalt installed with long-term performance in mind. For property owners across the Ann Arbor area, this approach restores safety, improves appearance, and protects property value in ways surface repairs cannot.
If you are searching for a dependable contractor for asphalt repaving, Sommerset delivers high quality asphalt solutions designed for Michigan conditions.
What Asphalt Repaving Actually Involves
As opposed to asphalt paving, repaving is more than laying fresh material over old pavement. The process typically includes removing existing asphalt, inspecting the base, correcting structural damage, and installing new asphalt at the proper thickness.
This work addresses underlying problems like recurring potholes, widespread cracks, and uneven settlement. It also allows us to improve drainage so rain and snowmelt move away from the surface instead of collecting and causing future damage.
For parking lots, driveways, and commercial properties, this approach creates a durable surface that performs reliably under traffic and weather stress.
When Repaving Is The Right Call
Not every pavement needs full replacement. Resurfacing and asphalt repair can often extend the life of a paved surface when issues are limited to the top layer.
Replacement becomes the responsible choice when structural damage is widespread, when the foundation has weakened, or when repeated repairs no longer hold. Signs include deep cracking, persistent potholes, poor drainage, and visible base failure.
Our experienced team evaluates each property carefully and recommends a solution that fits the condition of the pavement, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our Paving Process
Every project begins with assessment and planning. We review existing conditions, identify drainage concerns, and determine how much old pavement must be removed. The site is cleaned and prepared to support lasting results.
Old asphalt is removed and recycled whenever possible. The foundation is repaired, graded, and compacted to support new asphalt. Fresh material is then installed using professional paving equipment and quality materials designed to handle heavy vehicles and seasonal weather.
The finished surface is smooth, properly sloped, and ready for striping or sealing once cured. The goal is a paved surface that looks intentional and performs consistently.
Residential And Commercial Applications
This type of paving work is commonly used for residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and municipal roadways. Homeowners benefit from improved curb appeal with a refreshed asphalt driveway and safer access. Businesses regain smooth parking areas that support daily traffic and customer safety. Municipal clients rely on replacement projects to maximize asphalt pavement life span responsibly.
No matter the project size, Sommerset applies the same quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
