Asphalt Coatings Company Mills and Repaves Parking Lots in Colorado Springs, Colorado
When a parking lot's surface has worn out across large areas but the base below is still sound, full reconstruction is often more than the property needs. Milling and repaving removes the deteriorated top layer and replaces it with fresh asphalt. Asphalt Coatings Company mills and repaves parking lots in Colorado Springs with its own crews and commercial paving equipment.
Asphalt Coatings Company mills and repaves parking lots in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Asphalt Coatings Company performs mill-and-overlay resurfacing with precision cold milling and hot mix asphalt overlays of 1.5 to 3 inches. Asphalt Coatings Company owns the milling machines, pavers and steel-drum rollers used on Colorado Springs projects.
What Mill and Overlay Does
Asphalt Coatings Company uses mill and overlay to restore ride quality and appearance without full-depth reconstruction. Precision cold milling removes deteriorated surface layers to a specified depth. Tack coat is applied so the new layer bonds to the milled surface, and a hot mix asphalt overlay of 1.5 to 3 inches goes on top.
Mill and Overlay Steps
- Precision cold milling to specified depth
- Tack coat application for bonding
- Hot mix asphalt overlay of 1.5 to 3 inches
- Compaction with steel-drum rollers
- Smooth transitions at curbs and structures
When Milling Makes Sense
Asphalt Coatings Company diagnoses the cause of pavement failure before recommending a repair. Mill and overlay suits widespread surface deterioration, such as oxidation and raveling, where damage covers too much of the lot for spot patching alone. Where alligator cracking shows the base has failed, full-depth patching with base repair comes first, sometimes combined with an overlay on the remaining areas.
That diagnostic approach means a property pays for reconstruction only where the base actually needs it.
Colorado Springs Climate and Resurfacing
Asphalt Coatings Company engineers resurfacing for Colorado Springs' freeze-thaw cycles, high-altitude UV and expansive clay soils. Smooth transitions at curbs, drains and structures matter in this climate, because ponding water that freezes overnight accelerates pothole formation. Drainage grading is part of planning every paving project.
A Mill and Pave Sequence in Practice
Asphalt Coatings Company follows a consistent mill, pave and stripe sequence. At Colorado Mills in Lakewood, the crew milled a section, checked the cut depth at the edge with a tape measure, paved the next day with a dump truck feeding the paver, rolled the new asphalt, and striped the new section the day after that. At Storage Tech in Denver, aisles were milled, tack-coated and repaved up to new concrete valley pans.
Colorado Springs projects follow the same written specifications used across Asphalt Coatings Company's three offices.
Timing and Disruption
Asphalt Coatings Company schedules mill and overlay work during the paving season, generally April through November, when air and ground temperatures stay above 50°F. Mill and overlay of a 50,000-square-foot lot typically takes three to five days. Work can be phased, or scheduled at night and on weekends, to keep tenants and customers moving.
Restriping After Repaving
Asphalt Coatings Company restripes every repaved surface with ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, crosswalks and arrows, so the lot is ready for use as soon as it reopens.
