Commercial Asphalt Overlays
A commercial asphalt overlay from Ace Paving & Maintenance restores a clean, durable surface over what’s already there, at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Restore Your Commercial Pavement With a Professional Asphalt Overlay
When your parking lot’s surface has worn down but the structure underneath is still solid, a full replacement isn’t always necessary. Ace Paving & Maintenance applies a new layer of asphalt, typically 1.5 to 2 inches thick, directly over your existing pavement. No milling, no full removal, no unnecessary cost. When your lot’s structure is still sound, we preserve that foundation and deliver a clean, durable surface built to handle commercial traffic. We’ve been making that call correctly for Metro Atlanta property managers since 1997.
We Build on the Structure You Already Have
When your lot's base and sub-layers are still intact, tearing them out wastes time and money. Our team applies asphalt overlays that leverage your existing foundation, delivering a performing surface without the cost or disruption of full reconstruction.
We Assess Your Drainage Before We Recommend Anything
A pavement overlay raises the finished surface elevation, which affects how water moves off your lot. Before we put anything on paper, we evaluate your drainage on-site and tell you honestly if an overlay is the right fit.
We Review Your Lot's Full History Before We Scope the Job
Asphalt overlays stacked on top of prior overlays compound problems instead of solving them. Ace Paving & Maintenance reviews your lot's condition and paving history so the scope we deliver reflects what the pavement actually needs.
Schedule Your On-Site Asphalt Overlay Assessment With Ace Paving & Maintenance
Our team comes to your property, evaluates the structure, drainage, and surface condition, and tells you exactly what the right solution is. No upselling, no guesswork, no obligation.
We Match Every Lot to the Right Solution
Ace Paving & Maintenance has the experience to know when an asphalt overlay delivers long-term value and when another approach will serve you better. If your lot shows any of the following, we’ll recommend the solution that actually holds up and explain exactly why:
- Alligator cracking that has progressed to small pieces that will reflective crack back through a new surface
- Drainage conditions that would cause ponding at the new finished grade
- Deflection or movement under load, indicating base or subgrade failure that an overlay won't resolve
- One or more prior asphalt overlays already in place
Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is a commercial asphalt overlay?
Most commercial asphalt overlays are applied at 1.5 to 2 inches. The exact depth depends on the condition of the existing surface and the load demands of your property. We determine the right specification during the on-site assessment, not after the crew shows up.
What's the difference between an asphalt overlay and milling and resurfacing?
With an overlay, the existing asphalt stays in place and new material is laid on top. Milling and resurfacing involves removing the top layer of existing asphalt before applying the new surface. Milling gives us more control over grade, drainage, and tie-ins to curbing. The right choice depends on your lot’s condition, and that’s what the assessment is for.
How does an asphalt overlay affect curbing and finished grade?
Because an overlay raises the surface elevation, it changes how your pavement ties into existing concrete curbing, drainage structures, and other fixed site elements. Ace Paving & Maintenance accounts for those tie-ins during the assessment and scopes the work accordingly. Ignoring finished grade is one of the most common mistakes on overlay projects, and it’s one of the first things we check.
How long does an asphalt overlay last?
A properly installed commercial asphalt overlay on a structurally sound lot can extend pavement life by 8 to 15 years, depending on traffic load, drainage, and how well the surface is maintained afterward. Pairing your overlay with proactive maintenance, including sealcoating and cracksealing, is the best way to protect that investment.
Does Ace Paving & Maintenance handle striping after an overlay?
Yes. Fresh asphalt overlays require new striping, and we coordinate that as part of the project scope. We offer standard pavement striping, thermoplastic striping, and ADA-compliant markings so your lot is fully operational when we leave the site.
