Asphalt Repair in Bakersfield —
water stays out, asphalt stays.
Bakersfield property owners have been calling the same Fresno number for asphalt repair for a long time — (559) 442-4105, ours since the flip-phone era. On our scheduled Kern County runs, and the crew that shows up is the one that gave you the number.
Bakersfield anchors the southern San Joaquin Valley: oil and ag money, a real downtown, and mile after mile of neighborhoods from the historic Westchester blocks to the newer growth in the southwest and northeast.
Our Kern County runs take in the full Bakersfield mix — commercial lots off Rosedale and Ming, industrial yards near the oilfield service corridors, and residential repaves in the older grids where the driveways date to the fifties.
Kern heat is its own engineering input: Bakersfield runs hotter and drier than Fresno, which accelerates oxidation on unsealed lots and rewards owners who keep a sealcoat cycle. Our south runs stack several jobs per trip, so a single lot re-stripe rides as cheap as it would at home.
What we see in Bakersfield: big-city variety at south-valley scale: oilfield-service yards, retail lots off Rosedale and Ming, and fifty-year-old driveways in the older grids, all riding our scheduled Kern County runs. The route out is Highways 99, 58 and 178 — a run our crews have made more times than anyone’s counted.
Repair in Bakersfield
Stop water, save asphalt.
Hot-applied crack sealing, patching and hot-patch pothole repair — the work that stops water from reaching the base. Water in the base is how small cracks become alligatored patches and potholes, especially with Valley irrigation cycles wetting and drying expansive soils under the slab edge. Caught early, repair is the highest-return dollar in pavement care; caught late, it becomes repaving.
How repairs get done.
Cracks get cleaned with compressed air or heat lance, filled with hot rubberized sealant (Crafco-grade — we distribute the stuff) so it bonds to the walls, and struck flush. Failed sections get cut out and hot-patched. And we’re honest about the line: a lattice of hairline alligatoring needs patching or overlay, not caulk — we’ll tell you which side of it your surface is on.

Repair questions
Asked before every
Bakersfield job.
Can you fix potholes permanently?
A hot patch done right — squared edges, tack coat, compacted hot mix — is a permanent repair. Cold-patch from a bag is a winter stopgap, and we'll tell you when that's all a spot needs until a proper patch can be scheduled.
My lot is alligatored — can it be crack-sealed?
No, and anyone who quotes it that way is selling you caulk. Alligatored areas mean the base underneath has failed; they need to be cut out and patched, or overlaid. We'll show you the boundary between what seals and what needs surgery.
