With over 80 years of commercial and industrial paving expertise, we understand that well-maintained pavement is more than just an entrance; it plays a role in safety, performance, and long-term cost control. From parking lot repair to broader asphalt pavement repair, our team works with property owners to address pavement cracks, pot holes, and surface deterioration before they turn into larger structural issues.
Best Time of Year For Pavement Repairs
Timing is an important factor when it comes to pavement repair. In order to minimize disruptions to your business, try to schedule larger repairs, asphalt pavement repair work, or full parking lot replacement during off-peak seasons when possible. Typically, spring is the best time of year to get estimates and complete larger projects, as it allows snow to melt and reveals any damage that occurred during the winter.
Repairing Pavement in Spring
After the harsh winter, temperatures begin to rise and the snow melts away, creating an ideal environment for asphalt repairs. Spring conditions help materials like hot mix asphalt cure properly, which supports longer-lasting results when repairing pavement cracks, pot holes, and other surface issues. This is also when underlying concerns, such as moisture in the pavement underlayment or base, become more visible.
Off-Season Pavement Maintenance
Scheduling repairs during your business’s off-season is another practical approach. With less traffic and reduced operational demand, off-season maintenance helps minimize disruptions and allows work to be completed more efficiently. This is especially useful for projects that involve milling work, patching, or phased pavement repair across larger areas.
Why Should You Repair Your Pavement?
Repairing pavement helps improve safety, control costs, and extend the life of your parking lot or paved surfaces.
Our Pavement Repair Services
We offer a range of pavement repair options for parking lots and other paved areas. Each solution has its own advantages depending on the condition of the asphalt, the extent of the damage, and the underlying structure. By evaluating your specific situation, our pavement repair company can recommend a repair approach that aligns with your needs and timeline.
Crack Sealing
This surface-level repair helps prevent water penetration and slows asphalt deterioration by sealing smaller pavement cracks before they spread. This method is typically used for cracks between 1/4" to 1" in width.
Pothole Repair
We eliminate pot holes by cutting out the damaged pavement and replacing it with properly compacted hot mix asphalt. Pothole repair prevents damage to vehicles and pedestrian accidents near your business or commercial building.
Surface Patching
If your damage is localized to the surface of the asphalt in a particular area, surface patching (or skin patching) can be an effective option to continue using the area until the entire lot can be resurfaced.
Milling & Overlay
When the stone subbase is still stable but the asphalt surface is deteriorating, a milling and overlay is often the right solution. A milling machine removes the top layer of damaged asphalt so a new surface course can be installed, restoring performance without rebuilding the entire structure.
Parking Lot and Pavement Replacement
If your parking lot or paved surfaces have widespread damage, deep pavement cracks, or subbase failure, we can offer solutions to reconstruct and restore long-term performance.
Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR)
The old pavement, including part of the subbase, is pulverized and stabilized to create a renewed foundation. This helps address structural failure and reduce reflective cracking.
Remove and Replace
This solution removes the existing asphalt and unsuitable base material, replaces it with new aggregate, and installs new asphalt layers to create a fully rebuilt pavement structure.
Drainage System Improvements
Water moving through pavement layers is one of the most common causes of failure. Improving drainage helps protect the pavement structure and extend the life of repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start the pavement repair process?
Our process starts with a detailed evaluation of your current pavement conditions. We assess surface wear, pavement cracks, drainage, and structural integrity to identify both immediate repair needs and long-term considerations. When moisture is affecting site conditions, job site drying may be recommended before repairs begin. You can contact us online or call us directly to speak with someone in your area.
Why choose our parking lot repair experts?

Can you handle large pavement projects?
We have the crews and equipment to handle projects of all sizes, from localized repairs to large-scale pavement reconstruction. We can also coordinate work to align with construction schedules or minimize operational disruption.
How Do Pavement Repair Costs Typically Vary?
Pavement repair costs can vary depending on the size of the damaged area, the type of repair, traffic conditions, and whether the issue affects only the surface or extends into the pavement underlayment. Smaller repairs are typically more cost-effective than large-scale reconstruction.
What Type of Pavement Repair Do I Need?
The right repair depends on the severity and depth of the damage. Surface issues like small cracks may only require sealing, while recurring pot holes or widespread deterioration may indicate deeper structural concerns. Our team evaluates both the surface and underlying conditions to determine the best approach.
