FAQs

The lifespan of asphalt pavements varies based on several factors. Residential driveways generally last between 15 to 20 years, while commercial pavements and roads can endure for 20 to 30 years, according to This Old House. Longevity is influenced by climate, traffic volume, installation quality, and maintenance practices. For expert guidance on your asphalt project, we encourage you to contact McKenzie Paving.

Based on our extensive industry experience, the optimal period for asphalt installation is from late spring to early fall. During this time, temperatures typically range between 50 and 90°F, which is crucial for proper asphalt compaction and curing. Installing during cold or wet conditions can negatively impact the quality and durability of the pavement. For personalized recommendations on your paving project, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Installing asphalt over existing surfaces is possible with appropriate preparation. The underlying surface must be structurally sound, thoroughly cleaned, and may require milling or leveling. Often, an adhesive tack coat is applied to ensure proper bonding between the old and new materials.
