Paving
Paving asphalt is the process of applying hot bituminous mix (asphalt) to create roads, driveways, and parking lots. As asphalt dries and cools it cures and becomes harder over time, creating a sturdy structure to withstand the wear and tear of vehicles.

Overlay
Overlaying is a process for resurfacing older pavement by adding a new layer of asphalt over the existing pavement. It is typically all that needs to be done unless there are more serious foundation issues that need to be addressed.

Slurry Sealing
Slurry sealing is a great alternative for asphalt with mild cracking as it helps fill in and hide the cracks. Occasionally Sunrise Asphalt will recommend prep work be done prior to the slurry seal such as asphalt repair or crack filling for another layer of protection.

Seal Coating
Seal Coating is a process of applying a protective coating over an existing driveway or parking lot. It’s the best way to prevent damage from gas/oil spills, oxidation, and normal wear and tear.

Crack Filling
Crack filling is the process of repairing pavement by filling cracks between ¼” to ½” with either hot rubberized crack filler or cold crack filler. Fixing the cracks should be done without delay as the pavement can become brittle and cause future erosion.

Chip Seal
Chip sealing is the process of applying oil and pea gravel to a driveway or parking lot. The oil and gravel are applied separately then compacted together to form a sturdy surface. Oil and chip has been used for over 100 years to resurface driveways and parking lots.

Potholes
Potholes occur because the parking lot or driveway has not been maintained well. Water gets trapped in the cracks and the base becomes weak. When fixing potholes the surface is cleaned, then hot asphalt mix is applied and compacted.
