Heavily cracked areas, potholes and surface failure are more than just an eyesore - they're the first signs of structural damage. When asphalt is left unrepaired, water penetrates the surface, weakens the base, and causes further damage. Due to Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, the trapped moisture expands, rapidly accelerating pavement failure. Timely asphalt repair preserves pavement integrity, reduces safety, hazards, minimizes liability risk, and dramatically extends the life of your asphalt.
Every repair is different. That's why we use three proven asphalt repair methods depending on the size, location, severity of damage, and budget of the customer.
Asphalt patching is the most common and cost-effective method for addressing small - to - medium surface failures where the underlying base is still structurally sound. This method begins with cleaning and prepping the damage area so all loose debris and moisture are removed. A high-strength asphalt bonding adhesive is then applied to ensure proper adhesion, hot asphalt does not stick to cold packed asphalt. Fresh hot-mix is installed and compacted to restore strength and traffic resistance. This type of repair offers fast turnaround, dependable durability, and is ideal for most standard potholes in parking lot, roadways, and drive lanes.
Infrared repair is a premium restoration method used for surface separation, failed seams, and worn-out patches where blending new material seamlessly into existing pavement is critical. Using infrared heat, the existing asphalt is reheated until it becomes workable. The material is then raked and blended with fresh hot-mix before being compacted into a smooth, continuous surface. This process eliminates visible patch lines while creating a stronger, longer-lasting bond than standard patching alone. Infrared repair is especially effective for areas that require a clean, uniform appearance along with enhanced structural performance.
When asphalt damage extends beyond the surface and into the base layer below, temporary repairs are no longer sufficient. Full-depth removal and replacement is a permanent solution for deep failure, sinking pavement, and base collapse. The damaged section is precision saw-cut and completely removed to expose the compromised base beneath. The base is then rebuilt and compacted before brand-new asphalt is installed and compacted to proper density. This method restores full structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, eliminating repeat failures and extending the pavements life for many years.
Not every asphalt problem requires full replacement, and not every issue can be solved with a surface patch. Our team evaluates the depth of the damage, condition of base layer, presence of water intrusion, traffic volume, and long-term performance requirements before making a recommendation. We focus on delivering the most effective repair for your pavements condition - not over selling unnecessary services. This ensures you receive the right solution at the right cost with long-term reliability in mind.
If damage is limited to surface cracking or potholes, repair is usually sufficient. Widespread failure, sinking, or base damage may require removal and replacement. We evaluate each site before recommending a solution.
Freeze-thaw cycles, water intrusion, heavy traffic, and poor drainage are the leading causes. Once water reaches the base, deterioration is inevitable and accelerates quickly.
Pathing is the simple method of adding adhesive to preexisting asphalt, adding new mix, and leveling. Infrared repair reheats the existing asphalt and blends new material for a seamless, longer-lasting bond with no visible patch lines.
Properly performed repairs can last many years, especially when paired with routine maintenance like crack filling and sealcoating.
In most cases, yes. We phase work to minimize disruption and reopen traffic as quickly and safely as possible.
Most repairs can handle foot traffic within hours and vehicle traffic the same day, depending on the repair method and weather conditions.
Absolutely. Timely repairs prevent further damage, reduce liability risk, and significantly extend pavement life at a fraction of replacement cost.
Yes. We specialize in commercial asphalt repair but also provide residential services when appropriate.
Don't wait until minor damage turns into full-scale replacement.
