Asphalt repair & patching
Potholes and broken pavement are a trip hazard, a liability, and a sign the base underneath is failing. Asphalt repair and patching cuts out the bad area and rebuilds it so the surface is safe, level, and ready for traffic again. We patch lots and driveways throughout Vancouver, WA and the rest of Clark County.

Patching in Vancouver, WA that fixes the problem, not just the surface
A patch is only as good as what is under it. For real asphalt repair on a Vancouver, WA lot we square up and saw-cut the failed area, then dig out the broken pavement down to a solid base. If the base is soft or wet, we deal with that first, because patching over a bad base just buys you a few months before the pothole comes back.
We compact the base, apply tack to bond the new asphalt to the existing edges, then place hot or cold mix asphalt depending on the job and the weather. For commercial lots and driveways that see daily traffic, this cut-and-patch method holds up where a quick throw-and-go fill never would.
We compact the patch in lifts so it knits together and sits flush with the surrounding surface, getting rid of the trip hazard and the puddle. Then we clean up and let you know when it is ready for traffic. Patches can be sealcoated and striped over later once they have cured, so the repair blends into the rest of the lot.
Asphalt repair and patching in Vancouver, WA
Most failed asphalt in Vancouver, WA traces back to water. Once moisture gets through a crack or a thin spot and into the base, the gravel underneath loses its strength, the surface flexes under every vehicle, and you get the alligator cracking, sunken areas, and potholes that show up all over older Clark County driveways and lots. Patching the surface without addressing what is happening underneath is just hiding the problem, so we cut down to solid base on the spots that have truly failed.
Potholes and trip hazards are not just ugly, they are a liability on any commercial property. A sunken seam at a Vancouver, WA storefront entrance or a pothole in a busy office lot is a claim waiting to happen, and our wet weather only deepens them as more water works in. We patch potholes, repair failed sections with a proper cut-and-replace, and grind down trip hazards so your pavement is smooth, safe, and ready for traffic and striping again.
Why fix it now
Removes trip and liability hazards
Potholes and broken edges are exactly what slip-and-fall and vehicle-damage claims are made of. A proper patch takes that risk off the table.
Stops the damage spreading
Broken pavement lets water into the base, and that failure spreads to the asphalt around it. Patching early contains the problem.
Keeps the lot usable
Smooth, level pavement protects vehicles, carts, and pedestrians, and keeps your property looking maintained and professional.
Costs less than full repaving
Targeted asphalt repair and patching addresses the failed areas for a fraction of what tearing out and repaving the whole lot would run.
Our Vancouver, WA asphalt repair process
Assess the damage
We figure out whether the problem is surface-level or a base failure, because that decides whether a spot gets a surface patch or a full cut-and-replace.
Cut out the failure
On failed areas we saw-cut a clean, square perimeter past the damage and remove the broken asphalt down to solid base.
Prep the base
We grade and compact the base, add gravel where it is needed, and tack the edges so the new asphalt bonds to the old.
Lay and compact
We place hot or cold mix depending on the job, then compact it flush with the surrounding surface so there is no lip or trip edge.
Finish the edges
We seal the seams around the patch to keep water from getting back in at the joint, the most common place a repair starts to fail.

What goes into an asphalt repair quote
Every repair is different, so we look at the damage in person and give you a free written quote. A few things drive the scope.
Surface patch or full repair
A shallow surface patch is a smaller job than a full-depth cut-and-replace down to the base. We quote based on what the damage actually needs.
Size and number of areas
One pothole and a lot dotted with a dozen failed sections are very different. Total square footage and the number of spots both count.
Base condition
If the gravel base under a failed area is wet or washed out, it needs regrading and added material, which adds to the work.
Access and staging
How easy it is to get equipment and material to the repair, and whether the lot has to stay open, affect how the job is scheduled.

Asphalt Repair & Patching FAQ
How much does asphalt patching cost?
Repair cost depends on the size and depth of the damage, the condition of the base, and how many spots you have. There is no flat rate. We come out, look at the failures, and give you a free written quote.
Can you just fill the pothole quickly?
We can do a fast cold-patch when you need a hazard handled right away, but for a repair that lasts we recommend cutting out the failed area and rebuilding it. We will explain the difference and let you decide.
How long before the patch can take traffic?
Cold mix patches can usually take traffic almost immediately, while hot mix needs time to cool and set. We tell you exactly when your patch is ready before we leave the job.
Can the patch be sealcoated and striped over?
Yes. Once a patch has cured we can sealcoat and restripe over it so it blends into the rest of the lot. A lot of customers pair patching with sealcoating and striping in one project.
Do you do asphalt repair in my city?
Yes. We handle pothole repair and patching across Vancouver, WA and the rest of Clark County, including Battle Ground, WA, Camas, WA, Washougal, WA, Hazel Dell, WA, and Brush Prairie, WA.
Can asphalt repair be done in the rainy Vancouver, WA winter?
Some emergency pothole patching can be done with cold mix in wet weather to make a hazard safe, but a proper full-depth repair needs a dry base and dry conditions to bond and compact right. For lasting repairs in Vancouver, WA we plan the work for a dry window whenever we can.
What is the difference between patching and repaving?
Patching fixes the specific failed spots in an otherwise sound lot, which is the cost-effective move when the damage is localized. Repaving replaces the whole surface and is for pavement that has failed across the board. We will tell you honestly which one your lot actually needs.
How soon can I stripe or sealcoat over a new patch?
New asphalt needs time to cure before it takes sealer, often a stretch of weeks to a few months depending on the mix and the weather. Striping over a fresh patch can usually happen sooner. We tell you the right timeline for your specific repair so the next step holds.
