Targeted Parking Lot Repair & Maintenance Solutions

After installing a smooth, durable asphalt parking lot, the ACT Asphalt Specialties team is on a mission to extend the life of your commercial pavement. From routine crack sealing to advanced infrared patching, we provide comprehensive pavement maintenance to keep your commercial property safe, functional, and visually appealing.

Parking Lot Crack Filling

Thermal cracks are caused by ground expansion during the freezing and thawing cycle. Annual parking lot crack filling is your most important maintenance task, as keeping moisture from penetrating under the pavement is the single most important key to pavement longevity. We expertly apply commercial-grade crack sealing to protect your subgrade.

Infrared Pothole Repair

When asphalt becomes brittle and crumbles — a process known as raveling — or develops dangerous potholes, immediate parking lot repair is required. We utilize specialized infrared repair machines to reheat and repair damaged asphalt sections.

Alligatoring & Subgrade Correction

If you notice a block or "alligator skin" pattern of cracks, it is a sign that water has seeped in and weakened the subgrade. We specialize in problem-solving and setting the right elevations to correct these underlying drainage and structural failures for good.

Why Choose ACT Asphalt Specialties?

Our jobs comprise around 60% commercial paving projects, so the ACT Asphalt Specialties team understands how to cater to the unique needs of property managers and facility owners. We ensure you always receive exactly what you pay for with paving projects and repairs.

  • Minimal Disruption to Operations: Commercial work is prioritized based on minimizing interference with your business operations. We execute your pavement maintenance efficiently so you can keep your doors open and traffic flowing.
  • Combined Asphalt & Concrete Solutions: If your parking lot repair also requires fixing a broken concrete curb or a settled ADA pad, we handle it all in-house. Dealing with one contractor rather than two is a huge differentiation that saves you time and hassle.
  • Clear, Honest Communication: We conduct face-to-face appointments to evaluate your property's specific repair needs, provide fair pricing, and clearly frame project expectations from day one.

Common Questions About Pavement Maintenance

Why is crack sealing so important for my parking lot?

Not allowing moisture to penetrate under the pavement is the single most important key to pavement longevity. Crack sealing prevents water from seeping into the subgrade, freezing, expanding, and causing severe structural damage.

What causes cracks in commercial asphalt?

Thermal cracks form to release the tension generated by ground expansion during freezing and thawing cycles. Because these are unavoidable in our climate, annual parking lot crack filling is highly recommended.

How do you fix potholes in a parking lot?

For structural flaws like potholes, we often use an infrared repair machine, a tool in the industry that reheats the asphalt to a state where we can repair and patch it.

What is "alligatoring" in asphalt?

Alligatoring is when a series of small cracks form in an alligator skin pattern. This is almost always a sign that your subgrade has problems and has become unstable due to moisture.
