Cost-Effective Strategies for Pavement Maintenance
Asphalt pavement is one of the largest infrastructure investments made by municipalities, counties, developers, and homeowners. Protecting that investment requires more than reactive repairs, it requires a strategic maintenance approach backed by the right experience, equipment, and technical capability.
At Dunn Company, we understand that every roadway and pavement network has unique performance requirements. With decades of experience across public and private sectors, we help owners plan and implement lifecycle-focused maintenance programs that extend pavement life, improve performance, and reduce long-term costs.
Our technical expertise and integrated crews allow us to deliver results efficiently and consistently.
Crack Sealing: Protecting Pavement From Within
Crack sealing is the first line of defense against premature deterioration. Left untreated, cracks allow moisture to penetrate your asphalt and enter the base, accelerating structural damage and leading to potholes and subgrade failure.
Our team uses industry-leading sealant materials and controlled heating systems to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance, not just a temporary patch.
Best Use: Pavements showing early, non-structural cracking
Outcome: Slows deterioration and preserves structural integrity
Surface Treatments & Sealcoating: Renewing and Protecting the Surface
Environmental exposure breaks down asphalt over time. Surface treatments restore protective qualities and renew the riding surface.
Dunn Company performs surface treatments using DOT-approved emulsions, calibrated spray systems, and strict QA processes, ensuring the coatings bond properly and perform as expected.
Ideal For: Parking lots, subdivisions, corporate campuses, municipal networks
Outcome: Prolonged pavement life and improved appearance
Oil & Chip (Chip Seal): Proven Performance for Rural & Low-Volume Roads
Oil & Chip is one of the most cost-effective preservation solutions for roadway networks outside heavy traffic corridors. Dunn Company has the equipment fleet, workforce depth, and aggregate supply partnerships to execute chip seal programs at county and multi-county scale with efficiency and consistency.
Ideal For: County/township rural routes
Outcome: Enhanced surface protection and skid resistance at lower lifecycle cost
Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR): High-Performance Rehabilitation Without Full Reconstruction
Cold In-Place Recycling allows us to rehabilitate roadways in place, rebuilding the pavement structure without extensive trucking, disposal, or material import. Dunn Company is one of the region’s most experienced CIR contractors, equipped to handle county system programs and multi-mile corridors with minimal traffic interruption.
Ideal For: Roads with surface and moderate structural distress
Outcome: Stronger road structure, reduced material cost, and faster delivery timelines
