Asphalt Rejuvenator

Asphalt doesn't just crack from the outside, it deteriorates from within. As pavement ages, the oils in the binder oxidize and evaporate, leaving the surface brittle and prone to cracking. Rejuvenation treatment replenishes those depleted oils, restoring flexibility and extending the life of your pavement before major damage sets in. We apply a bio-based asphalt rejuvenator that penetrates the surface and restores the binder from the inside out, protecting your investment before you're looking at a bigger repair bill.

Signs your asphalt is a good candidate for rejuvenation:

Pavement looks dry, faded, or brittle, but isn't cracked yet
Your lot is under 10 years old and hasn't needed major repairs
You want to extend pavement life without the cost of a full reseal
You're trying to get ahead of cracking before it starts, not react after it does

How it Works, Step by Step:

Assess the pavement's age and condition. Rejuvenation works best on pavement 10 years old or younger.
Confirm it's the right fit. Existing cracks and potholes need to be addressed first, since rejuvenation isn't a repair for pavement that's already damaged.
Apply the treatment. The rejuvenator penetrates the surface and restores the binder from the inside out.
Let it cure. The treatment needs time to fully penetrate and take effect.

Considerations

Asphalt rejuvenation works best on pavement that's 10 years old or younger. The earlier it's applied, the better the results, ideally within the first few years after paving. It's not a repair for pavement that's already severely damaged, existing cracks and potholes need to be addressed before treatment.

How pricing is determined

Pricing is based on square footage, and may qualify for reduced pricing with a maintenance plan. Call and we'll give you a straight answer on whether rejuvenation is the right fit for your lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sealcoating protects the surface with a barrier coat. Rejuvenation works from the inside, replenishing the oils in the binder itself that naturally oxidize and evaporate as asphalt ages. They address different things, and in some cases both make sense on the same lot.
Rejuvenation works best on pavement 10 years old or younger. Beyond that, or if the pavement is already showing significant damage, a different repair approach is usually a better fit. We'll give you a straight answer either way.
No. Existing cracks and potholes need to be repaired first. Rejuvenation is a preventive treatment for pavement that's still in good shape, not a fix for damage that's already there.
The earlier the better, ideally within the first few years after paving. That's when it does the most to slow down the oxidation that eventually leads to cracking.
