Asphalt patching repairs localized pavement failure in the form of potholes, sunken areas and heavily cracked areas. Recommendations for patching are given after a visual inspection of the property.
The right asphalt treatment depends on what is happening below and at the surface. These guidelines make the first decision easier.
Good candidates
Potholes
Sunken or broken pavement
Failed pavement edges
Localized alligator cracking
What it does not fix
Deterioration outside the agreed repair area
Ongoing drainage or base problems unless included in the repair scope
Faded surfaces or parking markings
Every future crack or movement in the surrounding pavement
What to expect
A straightforward project process
The exact plan is based on the surface, access, weather, and the work included in your estimate.
Evaluate
Inspect the failed area, surrounding pavement, access, and likely repair depth.
Prepare
Mark and prepare the damaged area using a method suited to its condition.
Repair
Place and compact the selected patch material within the agreed repair area.
Reopen
Review the completed repair and provide traffic instructions based on the method and conditions.
Before the crew arrives
Simple preparation
Move vehicles and portable obstacles away from the repair area.
Keep the work area accessible to the crew and equipment.
Point out any known access, drainage, or scheduling concerns during the estimate.
Access and timing
Reopening depends on the project
Closure time depends on the repair method, material, weather, and traffic needs. A.A. Sealcoat will provide a project-specific reopening time.
Expected visible result
What you should see
The agreed failed area is replaced with a compacted repair intended to restore a more usable surface. New patches may differ in color or texture, and pavement outside the repair remains unchanged.
Materials and method
Selected after inspection
The patch material and repair method are selected after inspection because different pavement failures can require different preparation.

Common questions
Asphalt Patching questions
Project-specific details are confirmed during the estimate.
Faded, structurally sound asphalt may be a candidate for sealcoating. Individual open cracks may need crack treatment. Potholes, sunken areas, broken edges, or heavily cracked areas usually need patching first. A.A. Sealcoat will inspect the pavement and recommend the appropriate work.
How is the estimate calculated?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the paved area, preparation and repairs needed, access, materials, and the requested service. Schedule a free estimate for project-specific pricing.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Move vehicles and portable items away from the work area and make sure the crew can reach the pavement. A.A. Sealcoat will provide any additional preparation or access instructions for your project.
How long will the area need to stay closed?
Closure time depends on the service, material, temperature, weather, and traffic. Sealed surfaces commonly need at least 24 hours before vehicle traffic, but always follow the reopening time provided for your project.
How soon can the work be scheduled?
Timing depends on current workload, weather, project size, and the work required. Calendly schedules the estimate; the work date is confirmed after the scope has been reviewed.
