Accepted Answer

Yes. Oklahoma Paving Repair & Maintenance is fully licensed and insured to operate as an asphalt contractor in Oklahoma. We carry general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage on every job, protecting both our crew and your property.

Question 4

What signs indicate I need asphalt repair?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include cracks wider than a quarter inch, potholes, alligator cracking (interconnected crack patterns), surface raveling or aggregate loss, drainage pooling on the surface, and significant fading or oxidation. The sooner you address these issues, the less expensive the repair.

Question 5

How much does asphalt crack filling cost in Tulsa?

Accepted Answer

Crack filling costs vary based on the total linear footage of cracks and their severity. For most residential driveways, crack filling is a low-cost repair that pays for itself many times over by preventing water infiltration and base damage. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 6

How long does asphalt crack filler last?

Accepted Answer

Quality crack filler applied to clean, dry cracks typically lasts 3 to 5 years before needing reapplication. The lifespan depends on crack width, Oklahoma weather conditions, and traffic levels. Combining crack filling with sealcoating extends both treatments.

Question 7

What is asphalt sealcoating and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating is a protective liquid coating applied to asphalt surfaces. It blocks UV radiation, water penetration, and fuel spills that break down asphalt binder over time. In Oklahoma's climate, sealcoating every 3 to 5 years can double the lifespan of an asphalt surface.

Question 8

How much does sealcoating cost in Tulsa?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt sealcoating in the Tulsa area typically costs between $0.15 and $0.35 per square foot depending on surface size, condition, and product type. A standard residential driveway runs between $150 and $400. Commercial parking lots are priced by the square foot with volume discounts.

Question 9

How often should I sealcoat my asphalt in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

We recommend sealcoating every 3 to 5 years for both residential driveways and commercial parking lots in Oklahoma. The first sealcoat should be applied 6 to 12 months after new asphalt is installed, once the surface has fully cured.

Question 10

What is the best time of year to sealcoat in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

The ideal sealcoating window in Oklahoma is late spring through early fall, when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and rain is not in the forecast for 24 to 48 hours. Summer is peak season, but scheduling in spring or fall often means faster availability.

Question 11

Does sealcoating fix cracks in my asphalt?

Accepted Answer

No. Sealcoating is a surface treatment that protects asphalt but does not fill or repair cracks. Cracks should be filled and sealed before sealcoating is applied. Applying sealcoat over open cracks seals moisture inside and accelerates damage.

Question 12

How long does parking lot line striping last?

Accepted Answer

Parking lot striping typically lasts 1 to 3 years depending on traffic volume, sun exposure, and whether the surface was sealcoated first. High-traffic areas near entrances and drive lanes fade faster. Restriping on a freshly sealed surface significantly extends marking lifespan.

Question 13

How long does parking lot striping take?

Accepted Answer

Most parking lot striping projects are completed in a few hours. Paint dries in 30 to 60 minutes under normal conditions, so your lot can typically reopen the same day. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business.

Question 14

Is parking lot signage required by law?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for accessible parking spaces. ADA regulations require post-mounted signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility for each accessible space, mounted at least 60 inches above the ground. Van-accessible spaces require additional signage. Ground-painted symbols alone do not satisfy ADA requirements.

Question 15

How much does a new asphalt driveway cost in Tulsa?

Accepted Answer

Most residential asphalt driveways in the Tulsa area cost between $3 and $7 per square foot installed, with average total project costs ranging from $2,500 to $8,000 depending on size, site conditions, and whether demolition of an existing driveway is needed.

Question 16

How long does asphalt last in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed and maintained asphalt surface in Oklahoma typically lasts 15 to 30 years. Residential driveways with regular sealcoating and crack repair often last 20 to 30 years, while commercial parking lots handling heavier traffic may need resurfacing after 15 to 25 years. Oklahoma's freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat make regular maintenance especially important.

Question 17

When should I repair vs. resurface vs. replace my asphalt?

Accepted Answer

Repair (crack filling, pothole patching) is appropriate when damage is localized and the base is sound. Resurfacing works when surface wear is widespread but the base is still intact. Full replacement is needed when alligator cracking, base failure, or serious drainage problems are present.

Question 18

How many ADA parking spaces does my Tulsa business need?

Accepted Answer

The number depends on your total lot size. A lot with 1 to 25 spaces requires 1 accessible space; 26 to 50 requires 2; 51 to 75 requires 3; 76 to 100 requires 4. For lots with 501 to 1000 spaces, 2 percent must be accessible. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible.

Question 19

Does repaving my parking lot trigger ADA compliance requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you resurface or repave a parking lot, the altered areas must be brought into ADA compliance. This includes updating accessible space counts, dimensions, van-accessible spaces, signage, and curb ramps. Routine sealcoating generally does not trigger these requirements, but mill-and-overlay or full repaving does.

Question 20

Can you widen my existing driveway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Driveway widening is one of our most common residential projects. We can extend your driveway on one or both sides, add a parking pad for an RV or boat, or build a turnaround. We match the existing surface material and finish for a clean, uniform appearance.

Question 21

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt costs less upfront, installs faster, and is easier to repair. It is flexible, which helps it handle Oklahoma's freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete lasts longer, requires less ongoing maintenance, and offers more decorative finish options. Both are excellent choices in Oklahoma. We can help you evaluate the right option for your property and budget during a free estimate.
