Asphalt Repair in Ceres —
water stays out, asphalt stays.
Ceres 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 Stanislaus County runs, and the crew that shows up is the one that gave you the number.
Ceres works the ground directly south of Modesto — a family city on the 99 with orchards still holding parts of its edges.
The calls are the valley’s bread and butter: driveway repaves in the established grids, commercial frontage on Hatch and Mitchell, and small ag yards where town meets trees.
Ceres properties often pair a modest frontage with a deep working backyard — shops, boats, RVs — so widening drives and pouring side-access runs is a bigger share of the work here than anywhere north of the river.
Ceres sits in Stanislaus County; established-grid driveway repaves, Hatch and Mitchell Road commercial frontage, and small ag yards where the orchards still hold. Highway 99 keeps the trip simple, and grouped scheduling keeps small jobs affordable out here.
Repair in Ceres
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.
A lot of Ceres repair work is driveway-widening damage in reverse: years of RVs and boat trailers cutting the same corner until the edge lets go. We rebuild those edges with a thickened wedge and a proper shoulder, so the fix outlives the habit that caused it.

Repair questions
Asked before every
Ceres 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.
