An overlay adds a new asphalt lift over pavement whose base remains stable, extending service life without a full tear-out. 801 Asphalt provides site-specific written scopes for Asphalt in Utah and invites owners to compare equivalent proposals line by line.
Who this service is best for
- Commercial lots with oxidation and shallow surface distress
- Driveways with a sound base and manageable cracking
- HOA lanes and private pavement that can accept added elevation
Good candidates have a clearly diagnosed pavement need, workable access, a defined drainage path, and a scope that can be measured. The right treatment is selected from condition—not from a one-size-fits-all sales package.
High-quality procedure
- Diagnose whether distress is surface-level or structural.
- Verify drainage, elevations, transitions, and clearance.
- Mill or taper edges where the new lift must tie in.
- Repair failed base and full-depth defects first.
- Clean and apply tack coat for bonding.
- Place and compact hot mix while temperature and weather are suitable.
- Inspect density, joints, drainage, and smoothness before opening.
When this is not the right treatment
Do not overlay widespread alligator cracking, pumping base, chronic ponding, or elevations that cannot accept another lift. A useful proposal states the observed condition, explains why the recommended treatment fits, and identifies exclusions before work begins.
Utah budgeting and quote comparison
Many suitable Utah overlays budget near $2.50–$4.50 per square foot; repairs, milling, drainage, thickness, and traffic control can move the quote. Planning figures are not a rate card or guaranteed quote. Quantity, access, pavement condition, drainage, materials, testing, traffic control, season, and mobilization affect the actual number.
801 Asphalt aims to remain price-competitive for comparable Utah work. Property owners should compare written proposals using the same area, thickness, base, repair, drainage, striping, traffic-control, and opening requirements. A lower total with a thinner or incomplete scope is not a like-for-like comparison.
Quality questions to ask
- What condition or failure is the proposed treatment solving?
- What compacted base and asphalt dimensions are included?
- How will water move off the finished surface?
- Which preparation, traffic-control, testing, and cleanup items are included?
- What project-specific warranty language appears in the written agreement?
