Asphalt Overlay Services

Extend the Life of Your Pavement with a Trusted Paving Contractor in the Southeast

When pavement starts to show signs of wear but still has a solid foundation, asphalt overlay is a smart, cost-effective way to restore its appearance and performance. At Spears Hopkins, our experienced asphalt paving contractors deliver high-quality overlay services that extend the life of existing surfaces—without the need for a full reconstruction.

What Is Asphalt Overlay?

Asphalt overlay involves applying a new layer of hot mix asphalt—typically 1 to 2 inches thick—over existing pavement. It’s ideal for surfaces that are structurally sound but have minor cracks, fading, or uneven spots. A special tack coat is used to bond the new asphalt to the old surface, creating a seamless finish that looks and performs like new.

When Is Asphalt Overlay the Right Solution?

Overlay is best for:

• Roads and parking lots with minor surface issues
• Faded or oxidized asphalt
• Light cracking and surface deterioration
• Pavement with a solid sub-base and no major structural damage

If the underlying asphalt is too damaged, our team will assess the area and recommend a more suitable solution like full-depth reclamation or new pavement construction. Contact us today for more information or to get started on your asphalt overlay project in Chattanooga, TN.
