How long will my asphalt driveway last?
A properly installed asphalt driveway can last 15–25 years in Ontario's climate. Regular sealcoating every 2–3 years, prompt crack sealing, and proper drainage all significantly extend the life of your pavement.
When is the best time to pave in Niagara?
The ideal paving season in Niagara is late spring through early fall — roughly May through October. Warm, dry temperatures above 10°C are essential for proper asphalt compaction and curing. We offer free estimates year-round.
Do you require a deposit before starting?
No — Icon Asphalt never asks for an upfront deposit. This is one of the things that sets us apart from many other contractors in the Niagara Region. We believe our work speaks for itself.
When should I sealcoat my new driveway?
We recommend waiting 6–12 months after new asphalt installation before sealcoating. This allows the asphalt to fully cure. After that, sealcoating every 2–3 years protects against UV, road salt, and water damage.
What's the difference between patching and resurfacing?
Patching repairs localized damaged areas like potholes or failed sections. Resurfacing lays a new layer of asphalt over the entire existing surface. We'll recommend the most cost-effective option after a free site assessment.
How thick does asphalt need to be?
Residential driveways typically require 2–3 inches of compacted asphalt over a properly prepared granular base. Commercial parking lots and heavy-traffic areas may need 4–6 inches depending on load requirements.
Can you pave over an existing driveway?
In many cases yes — we can overlay new asphalt over an existing surface if the base is structurally sound and grading allows. We assess this during our free site visit and recommend full removal if needed.
Do you do commercial and industrial paving?
Absolutely. Commercial and industrial paving is a core part of our business. We've completed projects for car dealerships, hotels, factories, warehouses, medical plazas, and municipalities across the Niagara Region.
