COLUMBUS, OHIO'S PREFERRED
PAVING CONTRACTOR
When your parking lot has been patched numerous times and seal coated throughout the years, you don’t want to keep chasing your tail and throwing money into an asphalt surface that looks pieced together.
There’s only so many times an area can be patched before you need to consider a larger solution. Once your patches begin connecting with other patches, it’s often a sign that your lot may benefit from more extensive repairs.
At that point, we may recommend an asphalt mill and resurface. If the existing drainage and underlying conditions are acceptable, an asphalt overlay may also be a good option.
We understand that larger asphalt repairs aren’t something anyone looks forward to paying for. However, addressing the problem before the underlying structure fails can help you avoid a full-depth parking lot reconstruction, which can be significantly more costly.
Let us come out, evaluate your parking lot, and provide a professional recommendation based on its current condition. Our goal is to help you make the right investment, not sell you something you don’t need.
WHY IT MATTERS
Resurfacing works because it keeps the value in the pavement you already have. When the base is still stable, a new layer of asphalt restores a smooth, uniform surface and adds structural strength without the cost of tearing out and rebuilding the entire lot.
The difference between an overlay and a mill and resurface usually comes down to elevations. Milling removes a controlled depth of existing asphalt so the finished surface stays at the right height along curbs, entrances, and catch basins. Without it, a new layer can change how water drains or how the pavement meets concrete.
Preparation is what makes the new surface last. Tolliver & Curl repairs failed areas first so the overlay isn't placed over weak spots, then cleans the pavement, applies tack coat to bond the layers, and places and compacts the new asphalt so the old and new pavement work as one system.
ASPHALT PAVING
ANY SIZE, ANY JOB
Commercial parking lots, private roads, schools, churches, apartment communities, industrial facilities, and Columbus properties with aged or worn asphalt that remains structurally serviceable.
WHY CHOOSE TOLLIVER & CURL
Tolliver & Curl has resurfaced Central Ohio pavement since 1952. We look for the conditions that make an overlay a sound investment and identify areas that need repair or milling first. Our crews manage utility adjustments, transitions, tack coat, paving, compaction, and phasing as one operation. Owners receive a practical recommendation based on the pavement they have, not an automatic assumption that every lot should be overlaid.
