From full new-construction paving to milling, detail milling and pothole repair, we handle asphalt work for commercial lots, residential developments and public roadways.
Every project starts with a site walkthrough by one of our project managers. We look at the existing pavement, drainage and traffic flow so we can recommend the right approach and catch problems before they turn into change orders.

Asphalt questions
How is asphalt repaired?
Just before sealcoat is a great time to repair areas of deteriorated asphalt. Options include saw-cut repair, flush repair and infrared repair.
Saw-cut repairs are by far the most common approach. We cut out the damaged area with an asphalt/concrete saw, remove the debris, tack the edges and install hot-mix asphalt with a tamper. The cut is generally made 6 inches to 1 foot outside the visible damage to protect the edge.
Flush repairs are the most budget-friendly option. Instead of removing the damaged area, we clear loose material and fill with hot mix. They are quick and inexpensive, but tend to deteriorate faster without a clean edge to bond to.
Infrared repairs are less common but minimally invasive, similar to a flush repair with a stronger bond. The damaged area is heated to a high temperature, then hot-mix asphalt is added and tamped, so the old and new asphalt fuse together.
When should new asphalt be sealcoated?
We recommend sealcoating new pavement 1 to 2 years after installation, then every 2 to 3 years. Apart from small patchwork, new asphalt should never be sealed right away: it won't fully cure, and the sealer is likely to delaminate as oils rise to the surface.
New asphalt keeps its black appearance for roughly a year before sun, water and tire wear oxidize it.
How do you stand apart?
Our project managers do a thorough site walkthrough before your project to advise on the best course of action and to catch potential issues early.
