Decide whether resurfacing fits the pavement
Milling removes an agreed depth of existing asphalt before the new surface is placed. It can help manage finished elevations at curbs, entrances and adjoining pavement. An overlay does not automatically correct a failing base or drainage problem. Mark recurring potholes, rutting, settlement and wet areas so localized reconstruction can be reviewed separately.
Specify milling depth and compacted asphalt thickness
Provide the measured area, milling limits, removal depth, asphalt mix and required compacted thickness. Include transitions, edge work, utility-cover adjustments and the treatment of milled material. If the project has an engineered section, send it with the request. There is no single resurfacing thickness appropriate to every traffic load and pavement condition.
Sequence repairs, surfacing and reopening
An occupied property needs a plan for deliveries, customer entrances and the parking areas that stay open. Identify drainage and base repairs before the final surface is scheduled. Clarify temporary access, cleanup, striping and the contractor responsible for each item. Reopening timing is confirmed for the materials, conditions and operation at that property.
Project questions
Is milling and overlay the same as full replacement?
No. Milling and overlay replace a defined asphalt layer. Full reconstruction can include removal of the pavement, base correction, new aggregate and a new pavement section.
Can you mill and pave an occupied parking lot in phases?
Send the access and operating requirements with the paving limits. Phasing can be reviewed and incorporated into the quote and agreed schedule.
Are striping and catch basin repairs included?
They are included only when listed in the proposal. Identify them before pricing so resurfacing, structure work and markings have clear scope boundaries.
