Commercial Asphalt Paving Questions
What types of commercial asphalt paving services does Stripe America provide?
Stripe America provides commercial asphalt paving for new pavement, asphalt repair, resurfacing and overlay, milling and removal, full depth reclamation, and crack filling and joint repair.
When should commercial asphalt pavement be repaired?
The right time to address pavement problems depends on the type and extent of the damage. Cracks, potholes, surface deterioration, drainage problems, and other visible issues can indicate that repairs or other pavement improvements may be needed.
What is the difference between asphalt repair and resurfacing?
Asphalt repair addresses specific damaged areas or pavement problems. Resurfacing and overlay involves placing a new asphalt surface over suitable existing pavement to improve the overall surface.
What does asphalt milling and removal involve?
Asphalt milling removes a portion or the entirety of an existing asphalt surface so the pavement can be prepared for additional work. The appropriate approach depends on the condition of the existing pavement and the planned improvement.
What is full depth reclamation?
Full depth reclamation is a pavement rehabilitation process that reworks existing pavement and underlying materials to create a stronger foundation for a new paved surface. It can be considered when deeper pavement issues need to be addressed.
How do I know which asphalt service my property needs?
The appropriate service depends on the existing pavement, the type of damage or deterioration, site conditions, traffic, drainage, and the property’s planned use. If you are unsure, you can provide your project details through our quote form and we’ll help determine what type of service may be appropriate.
