Q: What’s the difference between street reconstruction and resurfacing?
A: Reconstruction involves complete removal of existing pavement and base, replacement of damaged infrastructure, and building a new street from the ground up. Resurfacing (overlay) places new asphalt over existing pavement with structurally sound base. As a road construction contractor, we assess each street to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Q: How do you handle road construction in occupied neighborhoods?
A: We maintain resident access through phased construction, provide advance notice of closures, coordinate with utilities and waste services, and minimize noise during evening hours. Our goal is completing quality work while respecting the community.
Q: Can you coordinate with utilities during street reconstruction?
A: Absolutely. Most Garland street reconstruction requires coordination with water, sewer, gas, and electric utilities. We work with City of Garland utilities and private providers to ensure underground work happens before paving begins.
Q: What makes industrial road construction different?
A: Industrial roads require thicker pavement (6-10 inches vs. 3-4 inches residential), reinforced base, and proper drainage for constant heavy truck traffic. As a road construction contractor, we design pavement that handles high-volume commercial use and heavy axle loads without premature failure.
Q: How long does street reconstruction typically take in Garland?
A: Timeline depends on project scope. A typical residential block reconstruction takes 2-4 weeks including utility coordination. Larger projects may take several months and are often completed in phases. We provide realistic schedules during planning.
Q: Do you provide street rehabilitation and overlay services?
A: Yes. When streets have good structural foundation but worn surfaces, overlay and rehabilitation extend pavement life at lower cost than full reconstruction. We assess condition and recommend the best approach for your budget. Call us here to discuss your specific project.
