Not every damaged surface needs to be torn out and rebuilt. Asphalt repair addresses cracks, potholes, and worn sections while the underlying base is still sound, extending the life of the pavement you already have instead of paying for a full reconstruction before it’s necessary.
Danny’s Asphalt Paving has repaired commercial, industrial, and municipal pavement across the Permian Basin since 1990. Our crews diagnose what’s actually failing (surface, base, or drainage) before recommending a fix, so you’re not paying for more work than the problem requires.

Asphalt repair covers restoring existing pavement that has deteriorated but hasn’t failed at the base level. This is different from new construction or full reconstruction, which our Parking Lot Paving and Roads & Roadway Paving services handle. Repair work includes:
- Crack sealing, to stop water from infiltrating the base through surface cracks
- Pothole and patch repair, for localized failures in the surface layer
- Milling and overlay, removing a worn surface layer and replacing it without disturbing a sound base
- Full-depth patching, for sections where damage has reached the base but the rest of the pavement is still structurally sound
If your pavement shows widespread base failure rather than isolated damage, reconstruction through our paving services will hold up better long-term than repeated repairs.
Our Process
- Diagnosis. We inspect the damaged area to determine whether the problem is limited to the surface or has reached the base, since treating a base failure as a surface repair means the damage returns.
- Scoping the right fix. Based on the diagnosis, we recommend crack sealing, patching, milling and overlay, or full-depth repair, matched to what’s actually failing rather than a default approach.
- Preparation. Damaged material is removed or cleaned out so the repair bonds properly to the surrounding surface, rather than sitting on top of loose or contaminated material.
- Repair application. Using hot mix asphalt produced at Basin Asphalt, our sister plant, we apply the repair mix suited to the specific damage and traffic load the area carries.
- Compaction. Repaired sections are compacted to match the density of the surrounding pavement, so the patch doesn’t become a new weak point.
- Final inspection. We check the repair against the surrounding surface for proper drainage and a flush, even transition.
Warning Signs You Need Asphalt Repair
- Cracks running in a connected, web-like pattern (alligator cracking)
- Potholes forming, especially ones that reappear after previous patching
- Standing water collecting in low spots after rain
- Faded or worn areas alongside otherwise intact pavement
- Edges of the pavement crumbling or breaking away
When and How Often
Repairs are best scheduled as soon as damage is identified, since cracks and potholes typically worsen with continued traffic and moisture exposure rather than staying the same size. In West Texas, sudden heavy rain after dry periods can quickly widen existing cracks, which is why addressing damage early costs less than waiting for it to spread. There’s no fixed repair interval. It depends on traffic volume, how the pavement was originally built, and how quickly damage is caught.

FAQ
How do you know if asphalt needs repair or replacement?
If damage is limited to the surface and the base is still sound, repair is usually enough. Widespread cracking, rutting, or a soft, shifting base usually means reconstruction will hold up better than continued repairs.
Do you handle emergency pothole repairs?
Yes, we respond to pothole and safety-related damage, though response timing depends on current scheduling and project load.
What causes cracks and potholes in commercial pavement?
Water infiltration through surface cracks, combined with heavy traffic and temperature swings common in West Texas, is the most frequent cause of accelerated pavement damage.
What determines the cost of an asphalt repair?
Cost depends on the extent and type of damage, whether the base is affected, and site accessibility for equipment. We provide a detailed quote after inspecting the pavement.
Can you repair municipal or industrial pavement without shutting down operations?
Yes, we schedule repair work to minimize disruption and can phase larger repair projects around your operating hours.
Will a repair look different from the surrounding pavement?
There can be a slight visual difference between new and existing asphalt immediately after a repair, which typically blends as the new material weathers.

Danny's did such a tremendous job for us-they were timely, efficient, and provided and extremely high quality product and service. We had a very small time frame due to the equipment constantly moving in and out of our facility. They adapted a plan to accommodate our business needs and exceeded all our expectations. Would highly recommend their team and will be using them again in the near future!
