Cracked, uneven, or deteriorating asphalt isn't just an eyesore, it's a liability. Whether it's a parking lot, a private road, a loading area, or any other paved surface, the condition of your asphalt reflects directly on your property. And small problems don't stay small. Water gets into cracks, the base shifts, and what started as a simple repair becomes a full replacement. More downtime, more cost, and more headaches, all avoidable.

Empire Parking Lot Services delivers professional asphalt repair for commercial properties throughout Southern California. Our crews handle pothole repair, skin patching, crack repair, grinding and milling, overlays, and full asphalt removal and replacement. We match repair approaches to your site's actual conditions rather than applying one-size solutions, so you get the right fix, not just the fastest one.

Our Asphalt Repair Services

Empire matches repair approaches to actual conditions rather than applying one-size solutions. We offer the following solutions to your asphalt repair needs:

Asphalt Grinding & Milling

Our crews use grinding and milling equipment ranging from walk-behind grinders to full-scale road millers to remove pavement to precise depths. We level transitions at curbs and building entrances, correct drainage grades, and prepare surfaces for overlays or complete repaving.

Asphalt Speed Bumps

Empire installs custom asphalt speed bumps that integrate directly with your existing pavement. Our crews position and taper each speed bump to proper height specifications, protecting vehicles while controlling traffic flow through your lot.

Asphalt Overlay

Our team applies new asphalt layers over existing pavement to restore worn surfaces without full removal. For lots with cracking concerns, we install petromat fabric between layers to prevent cracks from migrating through the new surface.

Asphalt Crack Repair

We seal and fill cracks based on type and severity to prevent water intrusion and further deterioration. Routing and sealing work for isolated linear cracks, while more extensive cracking patterns may require patching or overlaying. Proper asphalt crack repair extends pavement life and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Pothole Repair

Our crews remove damaged material, address any underlying base failure, and fill the area with properly compacted Hot Mix Asphalt. Each repair is saw-cut to clean edges and bonded to the surrounding pavement, eliminating the recurring "patch on patch" cycle common with temporary cold patch fixes.

Skin Patching

Empire applies skin patches to address shallow surface damage where the base layer remains structurally sound. Our team removes the deteriorated top layer and installs new Hot Mix Asphalt to restore a smooth, uniform surface. This asphalt paving repair method works well for localized raveling, minor depressions, and areas damaged by oil or chemical spills.

Empire Parking Lot Services has the staff, equipment, and experience to handle any asphalt repair project, from simple pothole repairs and skin patching to complete asphalt and petromat fabric overlays.

  • We inspect every phase of your project, not just the finished product. If something isn't right after completion, we own it and we fix it.

  • We deliver on our promises, that's why property managers who work with us tend to stay with us. It's not a talking point. It's just how we operate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Repair

What causes potholes in parking lots?

Potholes form when water penetrates the asphalt surface, saturates the base material, and causes the foundation to shift or collapse. Traffic loads break through the weakened surface, creating holes that grow with every passing vehicle. Effective repair requires removing compromised material, addressing base failure, and installing properly compacted Hot Mix Asphalt.

What do different crack patterns indicate?

Alligator cracking signals base failure or structural inadequacy. Asphalt crack repair methods vary based on the type and severity of the crack. Professional repair matches the approach to actual lot conditions for lasting results.

What property types do you serve?

The Empire's experience spans property types and sizes throughout the region, including:

  • Retail centers and shopping complexes
  • Office buildings and corporate campuses
  • Industrial sites and distribution facilities
  • Multi-family communities and HOA properties

Why does asphalt fade and crumble over time?

Southern California's intense sun breaks down the asphalt binder that holds the aggregate together. The surface becomes brittle, fades to gray, and releases loose stones. Early-stage oxidation responds to sealcoating treatments. Advanced oxidation typically requires overlay or more extensive asphalt paving repair to restore structural integrity.

How do I know if my lot has a base failure?

Signs include large depressions that collect water, widespread cracking across entire sections, pavement flexing under vehicle weight, or recurring damage in the same locations despite repeated repairs. These conditions require full-depth repair, addressing the foundation rather than surface-only fixes.

 

How much does asphalt repair cost?

Costs depend on the severity of damage, total square footage, the required repair method, site accessibility, and current material prices. Detailed written estimates are provided after evaluating specific conditions to ensure clarity before any work begins.

 

How long does asphalt repair take?

Timelines vary based on repair scope, lot size, weather conditions, and cure time requirements. Minor patching may take a single day, while overlay projects require multiple phases. Clear schedules are established before starting work to minimize operational disruption.

 

What areas does Empire service?

Empire serves commercial properties across Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County, handling projects from single-location repairs to multi-site maintenance programs. Asphalt repair contractors are available throughout the region for consistent quality and simplified coordination.
