Professional Overlay Services for Durham Commercial Properties

Durham commercial lots take a beating from sun, traffic, and seasonal temperature swings year after year. The surface cracks, fades, and roughens long before the foundation underneath gives out. Most property managers assume the only fix is full replacement, which means tearing everything up, hauling it away, and starting from scratch at a cost that stops most budgets cold.

The base is still solid on many lots we assess across Durham, but the surface tells a different story. Cracking, raveling, and rough patches get worse with every season, and the longer the surface deteriorates, the closer it gets to structural failure, which actually does require full reconstruction.

Overlay services from Satterfield Paving solve this by placing a fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt directly over your existing surface after milling and proper base preparation. The result is a surface that looks, drives, and performs like new pavement at a fraction of the cost and timeline of full replacement.

From the first pass of the milling machine to the final stripe on your property, Satterfield Paving manages every step under one crew.

• Milling and Surface Prep: The deteriorated surface is milled to the correct depth, and base failures are addressed with full-depth patching before any new asphalt goes down.
• Tack Coat and Asphalt Installation: Tack coat is applied across the prepared surface for proper bonding, then fresh hot-mix asphalt is laid and compacted to commercial specs for a smooth, even finish.
• Base Repair: Localized failures are corrected with full-depth patching so the new surface has a solid foundation across the entire lot.

Restriping: Once the overlay is complete, our striping crew delivers fresh ADA-compliant markings, fire lanes, directional arrows, and custom stencils as part of the same project.
