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>

Can you fix potholes in an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">asphalt driveway repair costs</a> can be as high as <b>$1,071 to $4,011</b>, smaller potholes and dips in a driveway can generally be patched at a cost of <b>$2 to $3</b> per square foot.

Q: How often should you maintain asphalt pavement?

• <div><p>A good asphalt maintenance schedule covers all the pitfalls that can happen to your asphalt. Just how often you should maintain your pavement will depend on the type of maintenance. Resealing your asphalt driveway should be done every three to five years. Cleaning is more of an annual task while repairing cracks and potholes comes in on an as-needed basis.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over oil stains on my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;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.

Q: What is the best material for filling driveway cracks?

• <div><p>Small cracks should be filled with a flexible crack filler, like a rubberized asphalt-emulsion crack filler or a flexible masonry crack filler. Larger cracks need something a bit more solid to prevent further movement and to avoid having to use too much of the flexible filler. For concrete, you can use a concrete backer rod while asphalt can handle sand, gravel, or even dirt. </p></div>

Q: What is asphalt edging?

• <div><p>Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn&rsquo;t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.</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!
