What to look for

Knowing when it’s time to repair your residential driveway can save you from more expensive work down the line. Here are some common signs your driveway may need repairs:

  • Cracks: Hairline cracks can widen over time, allowing moisture to seep in and damage the base.
  • Potholes: These occur when moisture freezes and expands, breaking the asphalt apart.
  • Crumbling Edges: Weak or unsupported edges often deteriorate first, especially with frequent vehicle traffic.
  • Standing Water: Poor drainage or uneven surfaces can lead to pooling water, which accelerates deterioration.
  • Faded Color and Texture: UV rays and weather exposure break down the asphalt binder, making the surface brittle.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call William Stanley and Sons Paving before the damage gets worse.

What Causes Asphalt Driveway Damage?

Understanding what causes asphalt to fail can help you protect your investment. Some of the most common culprits include:

  • Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and extreme temperatures can expand and contract the asphalt, creating cracks.
  • Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Water enters cracks and freezes, expanding and widening the damage.
  • Heavy Loads: Frequent use by large vehicles or trailers can weaken the surface and foundation.
  • Improper Installation: If the base layer isn’t compacted properly, the driveway may shift and settle.
  • Lack of Maintenance: Without regular sealcoating and repairs, even the best driveways can break down prematurely.

Why Timely Repairs Are Worth It

Putting off asphalt driveway repair can turn a small problem into a major expense. Timely repairs not only save you money, they also:

  • Extend Lifespan: Regular maintenance keeps your driveway in top condition for 20+ years.
  • Prevent Larger Damage: Fixing small issues now avoids costly replacements later.
  • Boost Curb Appeal: A clean, solid surface enhances your home’s exterior.
  • Increase Safety: Eliminate tripping hazards and protect your vehicles from potholes and uneven surfaces.

Every well-timed driveway project adds value to your property and peace of mind to your daily routine.

Our Professional Asphalt Driveway Repair Services

At William Stanley & Sons Paving, we offer a full range of driveway repairs tailored to the level of damage. We use only high-quality materials and time-tested methods to restore the strength and appearance of your asphalt driveway.

Crack Sealing

For small to medium cracks, we use high-grade rubberized sealant to prevent water infiltration and further damage.

Pothole Repair

Our team cuts out the damaged area, rebuilds the base if necessary, and applies a hot mix layer of asphalt for a seamless, long-lasting patch.

Edge Repair

We reinforce or rebuild crumbling edges to prevent the damage from spreading across the driveway.

Resurfacing

If your surface has widespread wear but the foundation is still strong, resurfacing (overlaying a new layer of asphalt) offers a cost-effective solution.

Full Depth Patching

For deeper structural damage, we remove the affected section down to the base, repair the foundation, and replace the asphalt.

Each paving project begins with a thorough inspection and honest assessment of what your driveway needs—nothing more, nothing less.

FAQs: Asphalt Driveway Repair

How do I know if my driveway needs repair or full replacement?

If the damage is limited to surface cracks or isolated potholes, repairs are often enough. If there are widespread cracks, drainage issues, or a failing base, replacement might be the better option. We’ll inspect your driveway and give you an honest assessment.

How long does it take to repair an asphalt driveway?

Smaller driveway repairs can be completed in a few hours, while larger repairs or resurfacing may take a day or two. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin.

Can repairs be done in cold or rainy weather?

Ideal weather conditions are dry and warm, but certain repairs can be done in cooler temperatures if necessary. We monitor the forecast and schedule accordingly to ensure quality results.

Will the repaired area blend with the rest of my driveway?

We do our best to match the color and texture of the existing surface. While some differences may be visible initially, the areas typically blend well over time as the driveway weathers.

How can I prevent future driveway damage?

Routine maintenance like crack sealing, sealcoating, and proper drainage will extend the life of your asphalt driveway. We’re happy to create a custom maintenance plan for your property.
