Asphalt Overlay Contractors

When roads, parking lots, or driveways begin to show cracks, ruts, or surface wear, the immediate thought is often to repave entirely. However, a high-quality asphalt overlay can restore function and aesthetics without the cost and disruption of full reconstruction. This is where professional asphalt overlay contractors like Delta Group come in.

Serving communities across Bolton, Brampton, Brantford, Burlington, Caledonia, Cambridge, Dundas, Etobicoke, Flamborough, Georgetown, Grimsby, Guelph, Halton Hills, Hamilton, King City, Kitchener, Milton, Mississauga, Niagara Falls, North York, Oakville, Orangeville, Paris, St. Catharines, Toronto, Vaughan, Waterloo, and Waterdown, Delta Group offers expert asphalt overlay services that extend pavement life, improve safety, and enhance curb appeal.

What Are Asphalt Overlay Contractors?

Asphalt overlay contractors specialise in applying a new layer of asphalt over an existing pavement surface. This method addresses surface distress, improves load distribution, and restores smoothness without the extensive excavation required for full-depth reconstruction.

From residential driveways to commercial parking areas and municipal roads, skilled overlay contractors prepare the base surface, apply the asphalt mix, and ensure proper compaction and finishing for lasting results.

The Benefits of Asphalt Overlays

Cost-effective restoration: Overlays cost significantly less than full replacements while extending pavement life by up to 15 years.
Time-efficient: Projects require less time and cause fewer disruptions than complete repaving.
Improved safety: Overlays seal cracks and provide a uniform, skid-resistant surface.
Enhanced appearance: Fresh asphalt brightens aged pavements, increasing property value and appeal.
Environmental advantages: Overlays conserve resources by reusing existing pavement layers.

Delta Group’s expertise ensures these benefits are realised in every project.

Our Asphalt Overlay Process

1. Site Assessment and Preparation

We conduct thorough inspections to determine pavement condition, underlying base stability, and drainage. Preparation may include crack sealing, pothole repairs, milling, and cleaning to ensure proper adhesion.

2. Material Selection

Using quality hot mix asphalt tailored for the local climate and traffic, we choose formulas optimised for durability, flexibility, and resistance to Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles.

3. Overlay Application

Our crews lay asphalt evenly using state-of-the-art pavers. We ensure consistent thickness and compaction to prevent premature failures.

4. Compaction and Finishing

Multiple roller passes compact the overlay to specifications, creating a smooth, dense surface with proper slope for drainage.

5. Quality Control and Clean-up

Final inspections verify smoothness, thickness, and compaction. We leave the site clean and ready for use, minimizing disruption.
