POTHOLE REPAIR SERVICES
Repair Damage. Restore Your Surface.
Whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, potholes are more than just an eyesore — they’re a safety hazard and a sign of deeper damage. At StripeCraft, we provide fast, durable pothole repairs that restore the look, function, and strength of your pavement.
OUR POTHOLE PROCESS
What to expect when you work with us
1. Clean & Prep.
We start by removing loose debris, water, and crumbling asphalt from the pothole to ensure a strong bond. If needed, we torch or dry the area for better adhesion.
2. Fill & Compact
Using high-quality cold patch or hot asphalt mix (depending on conditions and job type), we fill the pothole in layers and compact it tightly for a solid, level repair.
3. Compact & Level
We tightly compact the patched area using a hand tamper or vibratory plate to ensure a solid, even surface. This locks the material in place and creates a smooth finish that's ready for traffic.

Materials We Use for Pothole Repair
At StripeCraft, we choose the right asphalt material based on the season, traffic load, and type of repair needed. Using the proper product ensures a stronger, longer-lasting patch
.
Cold Patch Asphalt: A ready-to-use mix ideal for quick or winter repairs. It works in almost any weather and is perfect for residential driveways or small potholes.
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA): The same material used in road construction, HMA is best for larger repairs or high-traffic areas. It requires warm weather and offers a more permanent, durable finish.
Recycled Asphalt Mixes: When appropriate, we use eco-friendly recycled asphalt blends. These reduce waste while still delivering a solid patch for light-duty areas.
FAQs
What people are asking about parking lot striping
1. What causes potholes to form?
Potholes are usually caused by water getting into cracks in the asphalt. When that water freezes and expands, it weakens the pavement. Traffic pressure eventually breaks it apart, creating a hole.
2. How soon should a pothole be repaired?
Immediately. The longer a pothole is left untreated, the larger and deeper it becomes — increasing the risk of vehicle damage and raising repair costs.
3. Do you use cold patch or hot asphalt?
We use both, depending on the weather and size of the job. Cold patch is great for fast, temporary repairs (especially in winter), while hot asphalt offers a stronger, longer-lasting fix for larger or high-traffic areas.
4. How long does pothole repair take?
Most residential or small commercial potholes can be repaired in under an hour. Larger patches may take longer, but all jobs are completed the same day in most cases.
5. How long before I can drive on the repair?
Cold patch can be driven on almost immediately. Hot asphalt usually requires 2–4 hours to cool, depending on temperature and thickness.
6. Is pothole repair permanent?
Hot asphalt repairs are long-lasting when done properly. Cold patch repairs are temporary but effective — especially in colder months until a permanent fix can be made.
