Driveway Renovation Decisions: Resurfacing vs. Paving
If your driveway has surface hairline cracks but the underlying foundation is stable, resurfacing is a highly economical choice.
Cost Breakdowns
- Resurfacing/Overlay: Costs $2.50 to $4.50 per sq ft.
- Complete Replacement: Costs $6.00 to $12.00+ per sq ft (includes excavation and gravel base compaction).
- If you have deep alligator cracks or settling, a full repave is required.
