Asphalt Repair

If your asphalt has isolated damage but the base is still solid, repair is usually the right choice. Cracks, small potholes, and surface damage can often be fixed. If the base is failing or damage is widespread, replacement may be needed.

Properly done repairs can last several years. Regular maintenance like sealcoating helps extend the life of repairs. The key is addressing damage early before it spreads.

Texas heat causes asphalt to expand, while cooler temperatures cause contraction. This cycle creates stress that leads to cracks. Water infiltration accelerates damage, and heavy vehicles compound the problem.

No. Small cracks become big problems quickly. Water gets into cracks, and the damage spreads. In Central Texas, a hairline crack can become a pothole within a single rainy season. Early repair is always cheaper than waiting.

Small pothole repairs in Austin typically range from $250–800 depending on size and depth. Larger or multiple potholes requiring sectional repair may cost $1,000–3,500. A free evaluation is the best way to get an accurate estimate for your specific situation.

Crack filling uses asphalt-based material to fill non-working cracks (those that don't expand or contract much). Crack sealing uses a rubberized, flexible sealant for working cracks that move with temperature changes — common in Central Texas due to our wide day-to-night temperature swings. Using the right method for each crack type is essential for a lasting repair.
