Custom Asphalt Maintenance Plans

Asphalt paving requires periodic maintenance and repair to ensure your surface lasts for many years. Getting the proper maintenance also ensures your asphalt is safe for both motorists and pedestrians, and helps to boost your curb appeal.

Count on Peter J Caruso & Sons Inc to assess your paving situation and create an appropriate maintenance plan to maintain or enhance your asphalt surface. From seal coating and crack sealing to line striping, our maintenance plan can include it all.

Over time, your asphalt surface moves through phases from light maintenance to repair, and eventually resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing can be costly and proposals can be confusing. Trust our team to provide assistance by:

• Providing clearly defined proposals for a quality project

• Not recommending compromised construction

• Not low-balling with the intent of using subpar materials or otherwise cutting corners

Asphalt Crack Sealing and Patching Services

Your asphalt takes on damage from salt, water, freeze and thaw cycles, UV damage, and general wear and tear. The typical asphalt maintenance usually includes crack sealing with liquid asphalt to control water penetration, pothole filling with hot patch materials, and pavement coating using sealer or slurry seal. All of these services can be completed with minimal disruption to your business operations.

We can also provide services to patch pavement failures. All methods include sealing the edges with hot liquid asphalt when finished. The best methods, ranging from most to least expensive, include:

• Saw cut, removal, and full-depth replacement, including sub-base material

• Saw cut and removal of asphalt layers, recompacting the existing subbase material and patching with both new base and wearing coarse asphalt

• Grinding off existing wearing coarse and filling with new wearing coarse over a tack coat bonding material

• Overlaying patch on top of the existing asphalt surface

• Filling the pothole after cleaning out loose materials

Professional Pavement Sealing

With three generations of experience under our belt, our seal coating team handles all types of projects. We typically recommend pavement sealing for any paved surface older than one year. Sealing can then be performed every couple of years to ensure the best results.

It is important to seal your pavement to provide a level of protection that prevents drying out or oxidation. Keep in mind, sealers will not fill cracks of any size or hold loose areas together.

Pavement sealers create a nice and uniform black surface for your road or parking lot. The sealer helps to extend the life of your pavement and also boosts your curb appeal. Our recommendation is to use an asphalt-based sealer or a blended sealer for your project. We do not recommend a coal tar sealer due to the strength of the chemicals present in the material.
