Options and materials
Full-depth patching
Cutting out failed asphalt and soft base, then rebuilding, is the lasting fix for potholes and alligator cracking.
Crack sealing
Hot-pour rubberized sealant, placed in clean, dry cracks, keeps water out of the base and slows spreading.
Hot-mix vs cold patch
Cold patch is temporary. Hot-mix, compacted and tied into the old edge, is the lasting repair.
Utility cuts
Trenches settle if the backfill is not compacted. We rebuild them in layers.
Edge and curb repair
Broken edges let water into the base. We rebuild them with compacted base and mix.
Ohio freeze-thaw
Water that freezes in cracks expands them each winter. Seal cracks early.
What moves the price
Every job is priced after we see it. These are the factors that change the number:
- Number and size of patches
- Depth of repair and base condition
- Crack length
- Drainage issues that caused the failure
- Phasing, hours and traffic control
- Whether sealing or striping follows
We measure, then put the scope, materials and price in a written estimate. Estimates are free.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to patch a lot or repave it?
If damage is limited to a few areas on a sound base, patching saves money. If failures are widespread, repaving is cheaper over time. We help you decide.
Why do potholes keep coming back?
Water is getting under the patch, or the base is soft. A full-depth patch fixes the cause.
Can you repair while the business stays open?
Yes. Repairs are quick and we work in sections with cones and barricades.
What is alligator cracking?
A web of interlocking cracks that means the base is failing. Surface treatments do not fix it. The area needs to be cut out and rebuilt.
Do you crack seal?
Yes. We seal cracks, ahead of sealcoating or as stand-alone maintenance.
Do you do catch basin repair?
Yes. See our catch basin and after-hours paving page.
