Asphalt is the heaviest component of petroleum, commonly used in road and parking lot construction. At refineries, it's separated and modified through various processes like cutting back, emulsifying, or pulverizing to achieve the desired consistency. For paving purposes, asphalt is mixed into different types: hot-mix asphalt, known for its flexibility and weather resistance; warm-mix asphalt, which is more environmentally friendly; and cold-mix asphalt, ideal for winter pothole repairs. Each type serves specific purposes in the construction industry.

Asphalt pavement offers numerous benefits for your property. A well-maintained asphalt surface communicates attention to detail and concern for customer safety. It protects vehicles from damage and enhances the overall appearance of your business. Asphalt has proven its durability over time and provides excellent performance at a cost-effective price point compared to other paving options. Its versatility and longevity make it an ideal choice for various paving projects.

The selection of asphalt type for your project is determined by our experienced paving professionals. We conduct a thorough site inspection to assess the best product for the intended use. For municipal and new commercial projects, specifications are often provided by architects or engineering firms. Our team then formulates the asphalt mix to meet these specifications. We consider factors such as traffic load, climate conditions, and project requirements to ensure the most suitable asphalt type is used for optimal performance and longevity.

Proper maintenance is crucial for preserving the appearance and integrity of your asphalt surface. Regular upkeep includes eliminating weeds along the edges, promptly addressing oil or gas spills, sealing open cracks, and applying sealant to the pavement. While do-it-yourself products are available, they often fall short of professional-grade materials. Additionally, proper application requires skill and expertise. Incorrect application of repair solutions or sealants can potentially cause damage. For these reasons, we strongly recommend engaging professional services for your asphalt maintenance needs to ensure optimal results and longevity.
