Asphalt Remove & Replace (R&R)
Some damage is past the point of sealing or patching. Deep alligatoring, base failure, and severe rutting call for remove and replace: saw-cut the damaged area, remove the old asphalt, apply new hot-mix, then level and compact it for a repair that performs like new pavement.
R&R is the right call when the problem goes deeper than the surface — when the asphalt has fully failed or the base beneath it has shifted or washed out. Rather than repeatedly patching a failing area, we rebuild it.
We saw-cut clean, straight edges around the failed section, remove the old material, correct the base as needed, and install new hot-mix asphalt compacted in lifts to proper density. The result is a structurally sound section with clean lines that ties into the surrounding pavement.
Combined with crack filling and sealcoating on the rest of the surface, targeted R&R lets you restore the worst areas of a lot without the cost of full repaving.
The Benefits
Why It’s Worth It
Fixes the root cause
Addresses base failure and deep damage that surface treatments can’t solve.
Clean, straight edges
Saw-cut borders give a professional finish and a strong joint with existing pavement.
Built to last
New hot-mix installed and compacted to density performs like new construction.
Targeted cost control
Replace only the failed sections instead of repaving the entire surface.
Our Process
How We Do It
- 1
Saw-cut the area
The damaged section is cut with clean, straight lines to sound surrounding asphalt.
- 2
Remove old asphalt
Failed material is excavated and hauled away; the base is inspected and corrected.
- 3
Install new hot-mix
Fresh hot-mix asphalt is placed and graded to match surrounding elevations.
- 4
Level & compact
The new asphalt is compacted to proper density for a smooth, durable, long-lasting repair.

Often Paired With
Sealcoating
A protective wear layer that shields your asphalt from sun, water, and chemicals — and restores that fresh, jet-black finish.
Crack Filling
Polymer-modified rubber, melted to 400°F and poured into prepared cracks — a flexible, watertight seal that stops freeze-thaw damage.
Infra-Red Patching
Radiant heat melts damaged asphalt back to a workable state and welds in new material — a seamless repair with no joints for water to attack.
