Asphalt Driveway Resurfacing in Cincinnati
If your driveway is showing its age but the base underneath is still solid, a full replacement is probably not necessary. Asphalt driveway resurfacing gives you a fresh, smooth surface at a fraction of the cost of tearing everything out and starting over. Roberts Paving evaluates every driveway honestly and recommends asphalt driveway resurfacing when the conditions are right for it to perform well and deliver lasting value. We serve homeowners throughout Cincinnati and the greater Cincinnati area.
Our Driveway Resurfacing Process
Surface Evaluation
We inspect your existing driveway to confirm the base is structurally sound and that resurfacing is the right solution. If the base has failed, we will tell you before any work begins.
Crack Treatment and Cleaning
All existing cracks are cleaned and sealed with rubberized filler. The entire surface is swept and prepped to ensure proper adhesion between the old surface and the new asphalt layer.
Tack Coat Application
A bonding tack coat is applied to the existing surface. This adhesive layer is what makes the new asphalt stick to the old surface and prevents delamination over time.
New Asphalt Overlay
Fresh hot-mix asphalt is applied at the correct thickness and compacted for a smooth, even finish. The result is a surface that looks and performs like a brand-new driveway.
Resurfacing is only as good as the preparation that goes into it. We follow a consistent process that ensures the new surface bonds properly and performs for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between driveway resurfacing and full replacement?
Asphalt driveway resurfacing adds a new layer of asphalt over your existing surface without removing what is already there. It works well when the base is still solid and the surface has worn but not fundamentally failed. Full driveway replacement tears everything out down to the base and starts fresh. We recommend replacement when base failure is present or when resurfacing would not hold up long-term.
How long does asphalt driveway resurfacing last?
A properly installed asphalt driveway resurfacing job can add 10 to 15 years of life to your driveway. Sealcoating the new surface every two to four years after installation extends that further and protects your investment from Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles.

How do I know if my driveway is a candidate for resurfacing?
If the base beneath your driveway is still solid and the surface damage is primarily cosmetic, like fine cracking, roughness, or oxidation, resurfacing is likely the right call. If you see large alligator cracking, deep potholes, or areas where the surface has sunk, the base may need attention first. We assess this on-site during your free estimate.
Can you resurface a concrete driveway with asphalt?
In some cases, yes. Asphalt can be applied over concrete if the concrete is stable and properly prepared. However, the two materials expand and contract differently, which can cause cracking over time. We evaluate each situation individually and give you an honest recommendation.
How soon can I sealcoat a newly resurfaced driveway?
We recommend waiting at least six months to one year before applying sealcoating to a newly resurfaced driveway. The new asphalt needs time to fully cure and oxidize. After that initial curing period, sealcoating every two to four years is a smart investment.
