Approx. cost of asphalt overlay
My original message:
I have an asphalt driveway. I am considering an asphalt
overlay/resurfacing of typical thickness. What would be an approximate
cost per sq ft for this, assuming a sound base and relatively
problem-free installation? Just the ballpark is all I am after.
I do not want to remove/replace, nor do I want concrete.
Thanks for all replies.
I would like to try my question again, with info I should have included
the first time.
I don't want to coat my present driveway. I want another layer of
asphalt laid on top of the present one. Perhaps I should not have said
"resurfacing" which I now see could mean brushing/spraying on a new
surface topcoating.
The contractor who built my neighborhood decades ago installed this
driveway for his own house, so I assume it was done correctly. It is in
pretty good condition considering its age.
It is a long driveway. My rough estimate is 13,000 square feet. This
sounds to me like a sufficiently large project that somebody ought to
be interested in doing it.
Stratford1 was quoted "$1.25/sq ft for recap of 1400 sq ft
of existing driveway" a year ago. Would, say, $1.50/sq ft be a very
rough approximation of what the cost might be today? About $20,000
(gulp) for the driveway?
Thanks to all.
Don
