Potholes spread fast, and quick fixes usually fail at the edges. Serving San Jose since 2018, Apex Asphalt San Jose delivers pothole repair that holds up using proper cutback, base repair, and hot-mix asphalt compaction.
Durable pothole repair starts below the surface. We square up the damaged area with saw-cut or milling, remove failed asphalt and loose aggregate, and inspect the base for pumping or soft spots. If needed, we undercut, add Class 2 aggregate base in lifts, and compact with a plate compactor or vibratory roller, then apply asphalt tack coat to bond new to old before paving.
In San Jose, heat, traffic loads, and water intrusion can turn small cracks into edge-raveling potholes, especially in drive lanes, loading zones, and utility cuts. We match the repair to the site using hot-mix asphalt whenever possible, placing in lifts and compacting to proper density so the patch does not settle. Finishing includes tight seams, a smooth transition to existing pavement, and optional sanded sealer on joints to reduce water entry while keeping the surface safe and even.
Customers choose us because we fix the cause, not just the hole. Our crew brings the right equipment for clean edges and strong compaction, and we follow a consistent process: cut, clean, dry, tack, pave, compact, and seal seams when appropriate. You also get straightforward scheduling, clear communication on cure times and traffic control, and a written scope that spells out materials, thickness targets, and what is included.
Before we wrap up, we walk the repair area with you to confirm smoothness, drainage, and safe transitions at lips, joints, and adjacent concrete. We can add striping paint refresh, ADA-accessible transitions, and spot crack sealing around the patch to help prevent new failures. You receive a free written estimate up front, job photos on request, and practical maintenance recommendations so your pavement lasts longer and looks consistent.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the recommended scope, measured quantities, and the materials and steps included.
Yes. We regularly transition asphalt to garage slabs, sidewalks, and existing concrete, using clean sawcut edges where needed and proper compaction at the joint to reduce separation.
Repair scope depends on the failure, but may include sawcut and removal, base rebuild with aggregate, compaction, hot mix placement, and edge sealing. We can also add crack sealing and sealcoating where appropriate.
Yes. We stripe stalls, arrows, fire lanes, and accessible markings, and we can coordinate layouts for re-striping after paving or sealcoating.
Yes. For active businesses, we can phase paving or resurfacing, set cure windows, and plan access routes to reduce downtime.
If you are dealing with a spreading pothole in a driveway, parking lot, or private road, the repair needs more than a quick shovel-and-go patch. Apex Asphalt San Jose provides pothole repair in San Jose using proven asphalt paving methods that restore structural support, protect the surrounding pavement, and reduce repeat failures at the edges. We handle single holes and multiple locations for property managers, HOAs, retail centers, and homeowners.
Our pothole repair process starts with evaluation: we look for failed subgrade, water intrusion, and alligator cracking that can keep breaking through a surface patch. The crew removes loose debris, dries the area if needed, and applies tack coat to improve adhesion. For deeper failures, we rebuild the foundation with aggregate base compacted in layers, then install hot-mix asphalt in one or more lifts and compact with a vibratory plate or roller to minimize settling.
Finish work matters for performance and appearance. We tighten seams, blend grades to existing pavement, and check that water will not pond around the patch. When appropriate, we seal patch joints to slow water entry and help protect the surrounding asphalt from premature cracking. If the pothole is part of a larger distressed section, we will recommend the next step, such as infrared patching, localized mill-and-overlay, crack sealing, or a sealcoat plan.
For pricing and scheduling, we provide a free written estimate and a clear scope of work that lists prep, base repair allowances, asphalt type, and cleanup. Whether you need a single hazard removed quickly or a batch of potholes repaired across a lot, we aim for repairs that feel smooth under tires and hold up under traffic.
