BRZ Construction resurfaces asphalt pavement when the existing structure can still carry traffic and the main problem is the worn surface. Resurfacing is not a substitute for reconstruction when the base has already failed.
When is resurfacing appropriate?
Resurfacing places a new asphalt surface over an existing pavement that is still structurally useful. It is commonly used for oxidized, worn, or lightly cracked surfaces where the base is not pumping or collapsing.
Who this service is for
Commercial property managers, owners of parking areas and access roads, transportation-related contractors, and residential customers with a driveway or private road whose structure is still intact.
Typical applications
- Worn asphalt roads with a sound base
- Parking area surface renewal
- Driveway resurfacing where the pavement is still stable
- Resurfacing after milling a deteriorated surface course
What resurfacing may involve
- Inspection to confirm the pavement can accept an overlay
- Repair of failed areas before the new surface is placed
- Milling where grades, thickness, or surface condition require it
- Placement and compaction of the new asphalt surface
Resurfacing vs reconstruction
If the pavement has alligator cracking, deep rutting, or base failure, a new surface will not last. Those conditions point to patching plus reconstruction, or milling and rebuilding the section. BRZ treats resurfacing as a surface solution for pavement that still has a working structure.

Questions about Asphalt Resurfacing
When is resurfacing appropriate?
Resurfacing is appropriate when the existing pavement structure is still sound and the surface is worn, oxidized, or showing only limited distress. It is not appropriate when the base is failing.
How is asphalt repair different from resurfacing?
Repair fixes selected failed areas. Resurfacing replaces the wearing surface over a larger area. Many resurfacing jobs still need repairs first.
Does resurfacing include milling?
Sometimes. Milling is used when the old surface must be removed to control thickness, match grades, or take off a failed wearing course. See milling and overlay for that combined method.
