Frequently Asked Questions

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Detroit typically lasts 15 to 20 years, provided it receives regular maintenance. The lifespan is heavily influenced by our city's freeze-thaw cycles and the quality of the initial sub-base preparation. Proper drainage and sealcoating every few years significantly extend its durability against Michigan weather. Heavy vehicle traffic can also reduce its overall lifespan.
The best time for asphalt paving in Detroit is typically late spring, summer, or early fall, when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the asphalt to cure properly and achieve maximum compaction. Paving in colder temperatures can lead to premature cracking and a weaker surface. We monitor local weather closely to schedule projects for optimal conditions.
You can typically drive on a new asphalt driveway in Detroit within 2 to 3 days after installation, but it takes several months to fully cure. During the first week, avoid parking heavy vehicles or turning your wheels sharply while stationary. The asphalt remains somewhat pliable during the curing process, and careful use helps prevent depressions and marks. We'll provide specific instructions for your project.
Asphalt driveways in Detroit primarily crack due to our extreme temperature fluctuations, which cause expansion and contraction, and water infiltration. Poor drainage, an inadequate sub-base, and heavy loads can also contribute to cracking. Regular sealcoating helps protect the surface from UV rays and moisture, which are major factors in asphalt degradation. Addressing small cracks early prevents them from becoming larger issues.
Generally, you do not need a permit for resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway in Detroit if you are not changing its footprint or drainage. However, a permit is typically required for new driveway installations or significant expansions that alter drainage patterns or connect to public rights-of-way. We always verify local regulations with the City of Detroit Building Safety Engineering and Environmental Department for each project to ensure compliance.
