FAQ

Find answers to frequent questions about parking lot resurfacing, asphalt overlays, drainage, and maintenance for commercial properties across Metro Atlanta.

What is the difference between parking lot resurfacing and repaving?

Resurfacing, or an asphalt overlay, involves applying a new layer of asphalt over your existing surface without removing the old material. It's a cost-effective solution when the base is structurally sound, but the surface has deteriorated. Full repaving means removing the existing asphalt down to the base, making necessary repairs, and starting fresh. The right choice depends on the condition of your current pavement—resurfacing extends the life of a structurally solid lot, while repaving addresses deeper structural failure that an overlay can't fix.

How do I know if my parking lot is a candidate for an asphalt overlay?

A good overlay candidate has surface-level cracking, weathering, and minor deterioration, but a sub-base that remains structurally intact. If your lot has widespread alligator cracking, significant rutting, or recurring potholes, those are signs of base failure that an overlay won't resolve. Baldwin Paving assesses each lot individually and gives you an honest evaluation—we'll recommend an overlay when it makes sense and full replacement when it's the right long-term call.

How long should I wait to drive on a newly resurfaced parking lot?

Freshly resurfaced asphalt typically needs 24 to 48 hours before it's safe for regular vehicle traffic, though this can vary based on temperature and humidity. In Georgia's summer heat, asphalt stays softer longer, so waiting the full 48 hours is advisable. Heavy vehicles, such as delivery trucks, should stay off new surfaces for at least 72 hours. Your project manager will give you specific guidance based on the conditions at the time of your project.

Can resurfacing fix drainage issues and standing water?

Resurfacing alone won't correct underlying drainage problems—if your lot has grade issues causing standing water, those need to be addressed as part of the project. Baldwin Paving evaluates drainage during our assessment and can correct slope and grade issues during resurfacing when needed. Ignoring drainage problems and simply overlaying the surface will accelerate deterioration, as standing water is one of the fastest ways to break down asphalt over time.

How often should an Atlanta parking lot be sealcoated after resurfacing?

In Georgia's climate, sealcoating every two to three years is generally recommended to protect your resurfaced asphalt from UV oxidation, fuel spills, and water intrusion. Atlanta's heat accelerates the oxidation process that causes asphalt to dry out and crack, making regular sealcoating one of the most cost-effective maintenance investments you can make. A consistent sealcoating schedule significantly extends the life of your surface and keeps your property looking professional.

How much can I save by resurfacing instead of a full tear-out?

Resurfacing typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than full repaving, making it a significant cost savings when your base is still structurally sound. Beyond the immediate project cost, a well-timed overlay extends your pavement's life by 8 to 15 years, deferring the larger capital expense of full replacement. The key is catching deterioration at the right stage—waiting too long turns a resurfacing candidate into a full replacement, eliminating the savings entirely.
