Asphalt Patching
Failed asphalt sections left unaddressed don’t stay small. In Sacramento, CA’s climate — with intense summer heat, wet winters, and heavy commercial traffic — localized pavement failures spread quickly, turning a manageable repair into a costly reconstruction project. Serrato Asphalt provides professional asphalt patching for commercial properties throughout Sacramento, CA and the broader Sacramento Valley, delivering permanent fixes that stop deterioration before it spreads.
Common Patching Problems We Solve
- Isolated Pavement Failures – Sections where the surface and base have deteriorated independently of the surrounding pavement
- Failed Previous Patches – Cold-patch or improperly installed repairs that have re-failed within months of application
- Utility Cut Repairs – Areas where utility trenches were reopened and improperly restored, leaving sunken or crumbling patches
- Edge Deterioration – Breakdown along curb lines, expansion joints, and pavement edges that spreads inward if not addressed
- Saw Cut Removal Areas – Sections removed during drainage or utility work that need proper asphalt restoration
Our Patching Solution
Temporary patches with cold mix asphalt are cheap — and they perform cheap. Our patching approach uses hot mix asphalt, proper saw cutting, and correct base preparation to deliver repairs that are designed to outlast the surrounding pavement, not fail ahead of it.
- Damage Evaluation – We identify the cause of the failure — not just the surface symptoms — before recommending patch scope and depth
- Saw Cut & Removal – Clean square cuts are made around the damaged area to create straight, bondable edges and remove all failed material
- Base Inspection & Repair – The sub-base is examined and corrected if settlement, erosion, or water damage has compromised the foundation
- Tack Coat Application – A binding agent is applied to all vertical and horizontal contact surfaces to ensure full adhesion of new asphalt
- Hot Mix Asphalt Compaction – Fresh hot mix is placed in lifts and compacted to match surrounding grade and density standards
What Makes Patches Last
- Hot Mix, Not Cold Patch – Cold patch is a temporary measure; hot mix asphalt is the material of choice for permanent repairs
- Saw Cut Edges – Straight, clean edges bond dramatically better than rough-broken or hand-cut edges
- Addressed Base Issues – Patches fail when the root cause isn’t fixed; we don’t pave over problems
- Proper Compaction – Density achieved through correct roller passes, not just surface finishing

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between patching and full asphalt repair?
Patching addresses localized failures in otherwise sound pavement. Full asphalt repair typically involves larger areas, more complex base issues, or structural damage that has spread across a section of the lot. We’ll tell you which approach is appropriate after evaluating your property.
Do you patch commercial properties throughout the Sacramento area?
Yes. We serve West Sacramento, Sacramento, Elk Grove, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Woodland, and surrounding communities.
