Project timelines vary based on size, scope, and seasonal conditions. Typically, residential driveways can be completed in 2-3 days, while commercial projects may require additional time. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed schedule that accounts for Michigan's weather patterns to ensure optimal installation conditions.

Sealcoating is crucial in Michigan due to our harsh freeze-thaw cycles, road salt exposure, and seasonal moisture. This protective treatment seals your pavement against winter damage, prevents moisture penetration, and protects against UV deterioration during summer months. Regular sealcoating significantly extends your asphalt's lifespan and maintains its appearance through our challenging seasons.

‍

Michigan's climate creates specific wear patterns in asphalt. Minor cracks, limited surface damage, or isolated rough spots often indicate repair is appropriate. However, alligator cracking (interconnected cracks forming patterns), numerous potholes, or widespread frost heaving suggests replacement may be more cost-effective. Our local assessment team can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate solution.

Asphalt paving provides a smooth, refined surface ideal for driveways, parking lots, and high-traffic roads throughout Michigan. Chip seal combines asphalt emulsion with stone aggregate to create a textured, economical surface that offers excellent winter traction and is particularly well-suited for rural properties and country lanes. We offer both options tailored to your specific property requirements and budget considerations.

Michigan's climate requires specific maintenance practices. Clear snow carefully, avoiding metal blades that can damage the surface. Address winter salt accumulation with spring cleaning. Repair minor cracks promptly before freeze-thaw cycles worsen them. Schedule sealcoating every 2-3 years for optimal protection, ideally in late spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate for proper curing.
