Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Repair Costs
How much does asphalt repair cost?
Asphalt repair costs $2-8 per square foot depending on the repair type. Crack sealing costs $0.50-3/linear foot, pothole repair $100-300 per hole, sealcoating $0.15-0.40/sq ft, and overlay $2-4/sq ft. Full replacement is $3-7/sq ft.
What is the asphalt overlay cost?
Asphalt overlay costs $2-4 per square foot, or $1,600-3,200 for a typical 800 sq ft driveway. An overlay adds 1.5-2 inches of new asphalt over existing pavement, extending life by 8-15 years. This is 40-60% cheaper than full replacement at $3-7/sq ft.
How much does asphalt overlay cost per square foot?
Asphalt overlay costs $2-4 per square foot installed. This includes surface preparation ($0.50-1/sq ft), tack coat ($0.25-0.50/sq ft), and 1.5-2 inches of new asphalt ($1.25-2.50/sq ft). Overlay is ideal when existing pavement has less than 30% damage.
When should I repair vs replace asphalt?
Repair asphalt if damage covers less than 30% of the surface and the base is sound. Replace if damage exceeds 40%, there are drainage issues, or the pavement is over 20 years old. Overlay is a good middle option for 30-40% damage with a stable base.
What is the cost of asphalt sealcoating?
Asphalt sealcoating costs $0.15-0.40 per square foot, or $120-320 for a typical 800 sq ft driveway. Sealcoating should be done every 2-3 years to protect against water, UV damage, and oxidation. This extends pavement life by 5-10 years.
