Central Florida Asphalt Contractors

We Actually Understand East Mulberry's Challenges

Central Florida Blacktop Paving Inc. has been serving East Mulberry and surrounding Polk County communities for years. We know what Florida’s intense heat, frequent storms, and humidity do to asphalt surfaces.

Unlike contractors who treat every job the same, we tailor our approach to your specific situation. During our estimating process, we give you different options and solutions, not just one-size-fits-all pricing.

We pay attention to every detail during the paving process because we understand that in East Mulberry’s climate, proper installation isn’t optional—it’s the difference between a surface that lasts and one that fails prematurely.

Asphalt Resurfacing Process East Mulberry

Here's Exactly What Happens During Your Project

First, we clean your existing asphalt surface thoroughly, removing debris and contaminants that could affect the new layer’s adhesion. This step is crucial but often skipped by other contractors.

Next, we repair any existing cracks, potholes, or damaged areas. We patch these problem spots to create a smooth, even foundation for the new asphalt layer.

Then we apply a tack coat to ensure proper bonding between the old and new surfaces. Finally, we lay the new asphalt layer—typically 1.5 to 2 inches thick—and compact it properly for optimal density and smooth transitions.

The entire process usually takes 1-2 days, and you can typically use your surface almost immediately after completion.

How much does asphalt resurfacing cost in East Mulberry?

This represents significant savings compared to complete replacement, which can cost $8-15 per square foot.For a typical two-car driveway (about 600 square feet), you’re looking at roughly $960 to $1,800 for resurfacing versus $4,800 to $9,000 for complete replacement. The exact cost depends on factors like accessibility, required repairs, and current surface condition.We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for without surprises.

How long does resurfaced asphalt last in Florida's climate?

Properly installed asphalt resurfacing in East Mulberry can last 15-20 years with appropriate maintenance. Florida’s intense heat and UV exposure are tough on all pavement, but quality resurfacing with proper materials significantly extends your surface’s life.The key is using the right asphalt mix for our climate and ensuring proper installation techniques. We use materials specifically designed to handle temperature fluctuations and UV exposure common in Central Florida.Regular maintenance like sealcoating every 3-5 years can help you reach the upper end of that lifespan range, protecting your investment from premature deterioration.

Can you resurface asphalt over existing cracks and damage?

Yes, but only if the underlying foundation is structurally sound. Before any resurfacing work, we thoroughly assess your existing pavement to determine if it can support a new layer.Minor to moderate cracking, surface wear, and small potholes can be repaired as part of the resurfacing process. We fill cracks, patch holes, and level uneven areas before applying the new asphalt layer.However, if your pavement has extensive base failure, widespread alligator cracking, or significant structural issues, resurfacing won’t solve the problem. In those cases, we’ll honestly recommend full replacement to avoid wasting your money on a temporary fix.

How soon can I drive on newly resurfaced asphalt?

You can typically drive on your newly resurfaced asphalt within a few hours of completion, unlike concrete which requires 7 days to cure. This is one of asphalt’s major advantages, especially for businesses that can’t afford extended downtime.However, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before parking heavy vehicles or equipment on the new surface. This allows the asphalt to fully set and reach optimal strength.For the first week, avoid sharp turns while stationary and be careful with kickstands, jacks, or anything that concentrates weight in a small area. These precautions help ensure your new surface maintains its smooth appearance.

Is resurfacing better than sealcoating for older asphalt?

It depends on your pavement’s condition. Sealcoating is preventive maintenance for asphalt that’s still in good shape—it protects against water intrusion and UV damage but doesn’t fix structural issues or significant surface damage.Resurfacing is the right choice when you have widespread cracking, rough texture, or surface deterioration that sealcoating can’t address. If your asphalt looks worn and has multiple problem areas, resurfacing will give you much better results.Think of sealcoating as regular maintenance and resurfacing as renovation. If your pavement is beyond what sealcoating can help, resurfacing gives you a fresh start without the expense of complete replacement.
