Seal cracks before water causes further damage
Restore damaged areas before they expand
Remove and replace severely damaged sections
Not every pavement problem needs a full overhaul. Understanding your options can save you thousands — and prevents minor damage from becoming a costly failure.
Best for localized damage — isolated potholes, small cracks, and patchable surface defects. Ideal when most of the pavement is still in good structural condition.
Signs: a few potholes or cracks, otherwise solid pavement
Best when the base is still sound but the surface is worn, faded, or broadly cracked. A new asphalt layer restores appearance and adds years of life at 40–60% less than replacement. Explore resurfacing →
Signs: widespread surface cracks, fading, intact base
Necessary when the base has failed — widespread alligator cracking, sinking, or drainage problems. We'll rebuild properly so the problem doesn't return.
Signs: alligator cracking, pooling water, sinking pavement
In Central Texas, the cycle of intense rain followed by summer heat is brutal on unrepaired pavement. Water seeps through cracks, erodes the base, then expands and contracts with temperature swings — turning a hairline crack into a pothole in a single season. Prompt pothole repair and crack filling is the most cost-effective way to break this cycle early.
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.
