A New Surface Without the Full Tear-Out
Resurfacing (an overlay) means paving a fresh layer of hot asphalt over your existing driveway. Cracks are repaired, low spots are leveled and edges are fixed first, then a new layer goes down and is compacted. You get a smooth, black, like-new driveway, usually faster and for less money than a full replacement.
Egan Paving resurfaces driveways for homeowners across Albany, Colonie, Schenectady, Saratoga and the Capital Region.
Resurface or Replace?
Resurfacing works when the base underneath is still solid: surface cracks, fading and minor wear. If the driveway has sunk, has wide alligator cracking, potholes that keep coming back or standing water, the base has failed, and an overlay would crack again quickly. In that case a full driveway replacement is the better value. We check before we quote.
Getting the Height Right
An overlay adds height. Where the driveway meets the garage floor, walkway or street, we can mill or cut back the edges so the new surface stays flush and drains correctly. See our Albany driveway cost guide for how resurfacing compares with replacement.
