Asphalt Repair
What asphalt repair covers
Asphalt repair fixes the bad spots in pavement that is mostly sound. That means potholes, sunken areas, crumbling edges and patches of alligator cracking.
A quick cold patch often pops out after the next freeze. We cut the damaged area out square, fix the soft base underneath, then fill it with hot asphalt and compact it. The repair sits flush with the rest of the surface.

Problems it fixes
Problems asphalt repair fixes
Potholes after winter
Freeze and thaw breaks the surface and traffic knocks it loose. Every spring across central New Jersey, the holes show up again.
Sunken or soft spots
Heavy trucks and delivery vans can push a weak base down and leave dips that hold water.
Alligator cracking
A web of cracks in one area usually means the base below has failed. That spot needs to be cut out and rebuilt.
Crumbling edges
Edges break off where tires ride over the side or where the base was never built out wide enough.
Benefits
Why choose asphalt repair
Safer to walk and drive
Level pavement means fewer trips, falls and jolts.
Stops the spread
Fixing a bad spot now keeps it from taking over the rest of your pavement.
Costs less than repaving
When most of the surface is sound, repair is the smart, lower cost move.
Repairs that hold
Hot asphalt on a firm base holds up far better than a quick cold patch.
Easier on your car
No more potholes wearing on your tires and suspension.
Keeps the base dry
A tight patch seals out the water that caused the damage.

FAQ
Asphalt Repair questions
Still have questions? Call (908) 720-2444. We pick up.
Can you patch my driveway instead of repaving it?+
Often, yes. If most of the surface is sound, repairing the bad spots is the smart move. If damage is spread across the whole drive, we will tell you honestly that repaving makes more sense.
Why do my potholes keep coming back?+
Usually the base under them is soft or wet. A patch on top of a bad base will fail again. We fix the base first.
Do you offer emergency repairs?+
Yes. Emergency service is available. Call (908) 720-2444 and tell us what is going on.
How much does asphalt repair cost?+
It depends on the size of the damage, how deep the base problem goes and access to the spot. We give you a free, written quote before any work starts.
