Ignoring asphalt damage is one of the most expensive mistakes a property owner can make. A small crack that costs very little to fill today becomes a pothole that costs significantly more to repair next year.
At Pro-Seal & Paving, we’ve been helping Richmond homeowners and businesses stay ahead of that curve since 1998, with repair and maintenance services that extend pavement life and protect your investment.
Why Work With Pro-Seal & Paving for Asphalt Repair?
Most property owners don’t think about their asphalt until it’s already failing. We help you get ahead of that. Our crew evaluates your pavement as it stands, identifies what needs immediate attention, and recommends a maintenance plan that makes financial sense for your situation. No upselling unnecessary work.
We handle everything in-house: crack filling, pothole patching, milling, overlays, sealcoating, and pavement markings. If your asphalt needs more than one type of repair, you’re working with one crew, one estimate, and one point of accountability. Take a look at our past projects to see the range of repair and maintenance work we’ve completed.

Our Asphalt Repair and Maintenance Services
Crack Filling
Cracks are the entry point for water, and water is the primary cause of asphalt failure in Central Virginia. We fill cracks using hot-applied crack filler at approximately 300 degrees, which is squeegeed tightly into the crack and designed to flex with temperature changes as pavement expands and contracts through Virginia’s seasons.
Pothole Repair
Potholes are a safety hazard and a liability risk. We prepare the damaged area, remove deteriorated material, fill with quality asphalt, and compact it to restore surface integrity and prevent further deterioration.
Asphalt Milling
It’s a cost-effective way to restore a smooth surface when the base layer is still structurally sound. If the damage goes beyond the surface, our asphalt paving services cover full installation and reconstruction.
Asphalt Overlays and Resurfacing
When surface damage is widespread, but the sub-base is intact, an overlay adds a fresh layer of asphalt over the existing surface. We use paving fabric and sealant under the new overlay to prevent existing cracks from reflecting through.
Sealcoating
Sealcoating protects asphalt from oxidation, UV damage, water penetration, and petroleum spills. We recommend sealing every 2 to 3 years for residential surfaces and on a similar schedule for commercial properties, with two coats applied for commercial applications.
Pavement Markings
Faded striping affects traffic flow and safety. We reapply parking lot lines, directional arrows, and other markings as part of a full-service repair and maintenance scope.
Commercial Parking Lot Repair
Parking lot damage is a liability issue, not just a cosmetic one. Cracks, potholes, and uneven surfaces put drivers and pedestrians at risk and expose your business to real legal exposure. We handle crack repair, pothole patching, surface restoration, and pavement markings for commercial properties across Greater Richmond, and we won’t push reconstruction when targeted repairs will do the job.
How Our Asphalt Repair Process Works
Asphalt problems don’t get better on their own. If your driveway or parking lot needs attention, we’ll come out, evaluate it, and give you a straight estimate on what it will take to fix it right.
Key Benefits of Staying on Top of Asphalt Maintenance
- Extends pavement life significantly: a regular preventive maintenance program can extend the life of your asphalt from 10 to 12 years, up to 25 years
- Saves money long-term: small repairs caught early cost a fraction of what full reconstruction requires
- Reduces liability: cracks and potholes create real safety hazards for drivers and pedestrians on your property
- Protects your property value: well-maintained asphalt improves curb appeal for homes and signals professionalism for commercial properties
- Prevents water damage: sealing and crack filling block the moisture that causes base failure and accelerates deterioration in Virginia’s climate

Frequently Asked Questions About Central Virginia Asphalt Repair
How much does asphalt repair cost in Richmond, VA?
It depends on the type and extent of damage. Crack filling and pothole patching are the least expensive. Overlays and milling cost more but are still a fraction of full replacement. We provide free on-site estimates before any work starts.
How much does asphalt repair cost in Richmond, VA?
It depends on the type and extent of damage. Crack filling typically runs $0.50 to $3.00 per linear foot. Pothole patching generally costs $100 to $400 per pothole, depending on size and depth. Overlays and resurfacing run $2 to $5 per square foot and are a fraction of the cost of full replacement. We provide free on-site estimates with a straight number before any work starts.
Can you repair asphalt in cold weather?
Cold-patch pothole filling can be done year-round. Hot-mix repairs and sealcoating need warmer temperatures to cure properly. We'll flag any timing considerations during the estimate.
How long does asphalt repair take?
It depends on the scope. Crack filling is typically completed the same day. Pothole patching takes 1 to 2 hours per area. Overlays and larger resurfacing jobs generally run 1 to 2 days of active work. We'll give you a specific timeline during the estimate based on what your pavement needs.
Will crack filler show through after sealcoating?
Yes, and that's normal. Crack filler is designed to flex with temperature changes, so repaired areas will still be visible through the seal coat. It doesn't affect the quality of the repair.
Do you handle commercial parking lot repairs, or just residential driveways?
Both. No job is too large or too small. For details on what we handle for businesses and property managers, our commercial paving services cover the full scope of what we handle for businesses and property managers.
