Resurfacing & Overlay. Edison & Middlesex County, NJ

Edison Paving resurfaces driveways and parking areas across Edison using the commercial mill-and-overlay sequence: grind the transitions, repair the failures, tack the surface, and lay a new wearing course of hot mix. On sound structure it delivers most of the life of new pavement for well under half the price. The craft is in knowing when structure qualifies, and saying so honestly.

The sequence, done properly

Edges and transitions get milled so the new course lands flush against garages, walks, curbs, and drains instead of building a lip. Failed spots get cut out and rebuilt first, because an overlay bridges nothing for long. Cracks get cleaned and filled to slow reflection. The surface gets tack coat, the bonding layer that makes two courses behave as one, and then the paver lays the new mat, rolled to density. Skip any of those steps and the overlay announces it within two winters.

When overlay is the wrong answer

Overlaying a failed base is renting time, not buying pavement. Widespread alligatoring, pumping soft spots, and standing-water grades all telegraph through a new mat quickly. Our assessment probes the base and reads the failure patterns, and roughly half the surfaces we are asked to overlay get an honest replacement recommendation instead, with the reasoning written down. The other half get a genuinely excellent deal, which is the point of knowing the difference.

Parking areas and mixed jobs

Overlay economics shine brightest at commercial scale: a tired but structurally sound lot gets a new surface in a day or two of phased work without closing the business. We stage by sections, keep access lanes open, and re-stripe on the fresh mat. Homeowners with large parking areas, multi-car courts, and shared lanes get the same phased approach scaled down.
