Quick answer
Asphalt resurfacing places a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement that still has a sound base, restoring a smooth surface and extending service life without the cost of full replacement. USA Paving resurfaces driveways and parking lots in Sacramento, Rocklin, Modesto and nearby communities.
When pavement is worn, rough or heavily cracked but the base underneath is still solid, resurfacing is often the smartest middle path between patching and a complete rebuild. A properly prepared overlay creates a fresh, uniform surface and improves drainage and appearance.
The key is honest evaluation. Resurfacing over a failed base only hides problems for a short time, so we inspect first, repair what must be repaired, and recommend an overlay only where it will hold.

Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlays FAQs
What is the difference between resurfacing and repaving?
Resurfacing adds a new layer over the existing pavement, while repaving or reconstruction removes the old pavement and often rebuilds the base. Resurfacing costs less but only works when the base is still in good shape.
How do I know if my pavement can be resurfaced?
If the damage is mostly on the surface and the base is firm and drains well, resurfacing is usually an option. Widespread alligator cracking or soft, sinking areas point to base failure and a different fix.
How long does an overlay last?
Service life depends on traffic, drainage, base condition and maintenance. Keeping an overlay sealed and its cracks filled helps it last as long as possible.
