Deteriorating asphalt is more than an eyesore — it’s a safety hazard that exposes property owners and managers throughout the Sacramento, CA area to real liability. Crumbling edges, sunken sections, widespread cracking, and structural failures create dangerous conditions for pedestrians and vehicles alike. Serrato Asphalt provides comprehensive asphalt repair services for commercial properties in Sacramento, CA and the greater Sacramento Valley, addressing damage at every level from surface distress to base failure.
Common Asphalt Problems We Repair
- Alligator Cracking – Interconnected surface cracks indicating base failure; requires full-depth repair, not just surface treatment
- Rutting & Depression – Low spots and ruts that collect water and accelerate deterioration throughout the surrounding pavement
- Edge Cracking – Breakdown along lot perimeters and curb lines where lateral support has been lost
- Sinking Sections – Sub-base settlement or erosion causing uneven surfaces and standing water
- Longitudinal & Transverse Cracking – Linear cracks running parallel or perpendicular to traffic patterns, often caused by thermal stress
- Failed Patch Areas – Previously repaired sections that have re-failed due to improper installation or base issues
Our Asphalt Repair Solution
Surface band-aids on structural problems never last. Our approach to asphalt repair starts with an honest evaluation of what’s actually wrong — then we fix the cause, not just the symptom. As a crew that builds things to last, we take pride in repairs that hold.
- Damage Assessment – We evaluate the full extent of deterioration to determine whether surface repair or base reconstruction is needed
- Saw Cut & Removal – Damaged sections are cleanly cut out and removed to create straight, bondable edges for the repair
Base Repair (If Needed) – Failed sub-base material is excavated and replaced with compacted aggregate before any asphalt is installed - Hot Mix Asphalt Installation – Fresh hot mix asphalt is placed and compacted to match surrounding grade and density
- Final Inspection – Our foreman reviews every repair before leaving the site to confirm the work meets our quality standard

What Makes Our Repairs Last
- Root Cause Resolution – We identify and fix drainage issues, base failures, and soil problems rather than covering them with asphalt
- Proper Edge Preparation – Clean saw cuts and tack coat application ensure new asphalt bonds fully to existing pavement
- Correct Compaction – Our crews use proper roller equipment and technique to achieve the density that prevents future cracking
- Quality Materials – We use commercial-grade hot mix asphalt, not cold patch, on permanent repairs

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need asphalt repair or full replacement?
If damage is localized and the base beneath is solid, targeted repair is usually the right call. Widespread alligator cracking, major settling, or extensive base failure typically indicate replacement is more cost-effective. We give honest assessments — not upsells.
Do you repair asphalt in all Sacramento Valley communities?
Yes. We serve commercial properties throughout West Sacramento, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Granite Bay, Lincoln, and surrounding areas.
