How can I maintain my driveway between seals?

• <div><p>The best way to maintain a <a href="http://angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">concrete or asphalt driveway</a> is to clean it thoroughly twice a year. A stiff broom and a pressure washer are the best tools to clean away the inevitable buildup of dirt and debris that accumulates.</p></div>

Can I paint over oil stains on my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t directly paint over an oil stain on your asphalt driveway. While painting over might visually conceal the stain, the oil will continue to damage the driveway. Once you’ve noticed the oil stain, it’s important to thoroughly remove it within the next few months since oil stains only take six months before they begin to damage the structure of your asphalt driveway.</p></div>

Q: Can you pave over a cracked asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn&rsquo;t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain commercial asphalt?

• <div><p>Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: Are asphalt and asphalt concrete the same?

• <div><p>Sometimes, when people talk about asphalt driveways, they&rsquo;re actually referring to asphalt concrete, which is a completely different compound. Asphalt concrete is asphaltic cement combined with sand or grit. It is significantly more lasting and durable than regular asphalt but also much more expensive. If you&rsquo;re considering using asphalt concrete, ask an <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asphalt-companies">asphalt company</a> for their expert opinions. </p></div>

Curt was great with the home inspection process. He made sure to explain things to me that needed repair by sellers vs things that weren’t a huge deal. He was always very responsive with any questions/concerns I had!
