  • How do I know if I need asphalt repair or a full replacement?

    If the asphalt surface has minor cracks or small potholes, a repair may be sufficient. However, if the damage is extensive or the foundation is compromised, a full replacement might be necessary.

  • Why should I choose asphalt paving over other materials?

    Asphalt is durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Its smooth surface reduces vehicle wear and tear and creates a professional appearance for driveways, parking lots, and roadways.

  • How long does asphalt paving usually last?

    With proper maintenance, asphalt surfaces can last 20-30 years. Regular sealcoating and prompt repairs can significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt.

  • Why is sealcoating important for asphalt?

    Sealcoating protects asphalt from harmful UV rays, water damage, and chemicals like oil and gasoline. It also gives your pavement a freshly paved look. 

  • When is it time for an asphalt repair?

    If you notice potholes, cracks, uneven surfaces, or pooling water on your asphalt, it’s time to schedule a repair. Addressing issues early can prevent more costly damage in the future.

  • Can asphalt repairs be done year-round?

    While minor repairs can be done in cooler months, spring through early fall is the ideal time for most asphalt work due to optimal curing temperatures and dry conditions.

  • How often should I schedule sealcoating?

    Sealcoating will need to be done typically every 2-3 years for most asphalt surfaces. Regular sealcoating helps protect against weather damage, oil stains, and oxidation, extending the life of your pavement.

  • What maintenance can be done to extend the life of my asphalt?

    The easiest thing you can do for your asphalt is clean off debris regularly to prevent damage. You can also make sure to scheudle prompt crack repair at the first sign of a crack in your asphalt. 

  • Do I need to prepare my property before you arrive?

    There are a few small things you can do to prepare your property for service from Denton Contracting. The obvious thing you should do is clear any vehicles and equipment away from the asphalt that is going to be worked on. You should also make sure to mark sprinkler heads on your property so our workers know where they are and can advoid them. 

  • Will you clean up after the project is finished?
