We've been part of the Northglenn landscape for a long time, not just working here, but living here too.

A new asphalt driveway in Northglenn typically lasts between 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The lifespan can vary based on factors like traffic volume, drainage, and the local climate, which includes our freeze-thaw cycles. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt repair of small cracks can significantly extend its durability. We build our driveways to withstand the specific weather patterns we experience here in Colorado.
The typical process for asphalt driveway repair in Northglenn begins with an assessment of the damage, identifying whether it's minor cracking, potholes, or larger sections needing replacement. For small cracks, we use crack filling techniques to prevent water penetration. Potholes are usually cut out and filled with new asphalt. For extensive damage, we might recommend patching or even resurfacing the entire area to ensure a uniform and lasting repair that handles our local conditions.
You can typically drive on a newly paved asphalt surface in Northglenn within 2-3 days after installation, though we recommend waiting longer if possible. While the surface is cool to the touch, it takes time for the asphalt to fully cure and harden. Heavy vehicles or sharp turns should be avoided for at least a week to prevent indentations or damage. We'll provide specific guidance based on the day's temperature and the type of asphalt used.
Yes, Northglenn's climate significantly affects asphalt paving projects, particularly due to our wide temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions can cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracking if not properly installed and maintained. We account for this by using specific asphalt mixes designed for our climate and ensuring proper base preparation and drainage to prevent water from undermining the surface. Planning projects during warmer, drier months is also ideal for optimal curing.
The signs that your Northglenn driveway needs asphalt resurfacing include widespread cracking (especially alligator cracking), significant fading or discoloration, and numerous potholes or depressions. If the surface is uneven and collecting water, it's also a strong indicator that a new layer is needed. Resurfacing can address these issues by applying a fresh layer of asphalt over the existing, structurally sound base, giving your driveway a new lease on life without a full tear-out.
