Asphalt Maintenance Benchmarks

A well paved asphalt surface can last for decades if it is well maintained, and Perdue Pavement Solutions is well equipped with the tools and knowledge to provide maintenance to asphalt at any stage of its life cycle. We’re also very experienced in bringing damaged asphalt back to tip-top shape with our repair services. About five years after the initial paving, we recommend our sealcoating services. This will help to prevent moisture from entering the asphalt, which can cause significant damage over time (especially at the end of fall and the beginning of spring). By having regular maintenance and repairs every 5-7 years, a driveway or parking lot can last up to a quarter century. Here are some typical examples of the appropriate times to schedule asphalt maintenance. If you suspect that your asphalt is in need of sealcoating or crack sealing, call us today for an inspection and estimate!
