Hear from Our Customers
That small pothole in your parking lot isn’t staying small. Every rain fills it with water. Every freeze expands that water. Every thaw weakens the base underneath.
By spring, you’re looking at a crater that damages vehicles and puts pedestrians at risk. Property owners in Bohemia who ignore known hazards face liability when someone gets hurt. The law calls it constructive notice—you knew it was there long enough to fix it.
Early repair costs a fraction of what you’ll spend later. Industry data shows every dollar spent on preventative asphalt maintenance saves four to ten dollars down the road. That’s not marketing talk—that’s what happens when you stop water from reaching the base layer and destroying your entire parking surface.
Your property looks better too. Smooth pavement tells customers and tenants you run a tight operation. Potholes and cracks say the opposite, even if everything else is perfect.
We operate out of Smithtown and focus exclusively on Suffolk County properties. We understand how Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles tear apart asphalt. We know which materials hold up to the temperature swings Bohemia sees between January and July.
Our crews handle everything from residential driveway patching to full commercial parking lot repair. We’re licensed and insured, and we’ve spent years learning what works in this specific climate. Not every asphalt company understands the difference between repairing pavement in mild climates versus what you’re dealing with here.
When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve seen what happens when repairs get delayed through a Long Island winter. We’d rather fix it right the first time than come back in six months because a cheap patch failed.
First, we remove all the damaged asphalt and any compromised base material underneath. If water has been sitting in that pothole, the base is probably weakened. Patching over a bad base guarantees failure.
Next, we prep the edges of the existing pavement so the new material bonds correctly. This is where our “Seamless Patch” technique matters—we’re not just filling a hole. We’re creating a repair that matches your existing surface texture and performs like the original pavement.
Then we apply hot mix asphalt at around 300 degrees. That temperature creates molecular bonds with your existing pavement that cold patch can’t replicate. The heat allows for proper compaction, which means the repair won’t sink or crack under traffic.
Finally, we compact everything with commercial equipment to match the density of the surrounding asphalt. When we’re done, you shouldn’t be able to tell where the pothole was unless you’re looking for it. The repair is permanent, not temporary—you won’t see us back there in three months redoing the same spot.

You get a full assessment of the damage before we start. We’ll tell you if it’s just surface repair or if there’s base failure that needs addressing. No surprises halfway through the job.
We handle both emergency pothole repair when storm damage creates immediate hazards and scheduled maintenance for properties that want to stay ahead of deterioration. Bohemia’s location along Long Island’s South Shore means you’re dealing with salt exposure, temperature extremes, and heavy precipitation—all of which accelerate pavement breakdown.
Our hot mix repairs come with proper edge preparation, full-depth patching when needed, and commercial-grade compaction. We’re not throwing cold patch in a hole and calling it done. Cold patch is a temporary fix that fails fast. Hot mix creates a permanent repair that handles traffic and weather the same way your original pavement did.
We also offer crack filling and driveway sealcoating to prevent potholes from forming in the first place. Catching cracks early stops water infiltration before it reaches the base layer. That’s the preservation approach that saves money long-term—fix small problems before they become structural failures.
A properly installed hot mix repair lasts as long as your original pavement—often 15 to 20 years depending on traffic and maintenance. The key is proper installation, not just the material.
Hot mix bonds to existing asphalt when applied at the right temperature. That molecular bond creates a unified surface that moves and flexes as one piece. Cold patch sits on top without bonding, which is why it fails within months when exposed to Bohemia’s freeze-thaw cycles.
The repair’s longevity also depends on addressing the base. If water has compromised the foundation under your pavement, we remove and replace that material. Patching over a failed base guarantees the repair will sink or crack quickly, no matter what material you use on top.
Cold patch is asphalt mixed with additives that keep it workable at low temperatures. It’s designed for temporary repairs—filling a pothole quickly until you can do a permanent fix. Most cold patch fails within one season because it doesn’t bond to existing pavement.
Hot mix asphalt is heated to around 300 degrees during application. That heat allows the new material to fuse with your existing pavement at a molecular level. The result is a seamless repair that performs like the original surface. Hot mix also compacts better, creating a denser, more durable patch.
The cost difference is real but so is the performance gap. Cold patch might cost less upfront, but you’ll pay for repeated repairs. Hot mix costs more initially but eliminates the need to fix the same pothole multiple times. For commercial properties in Bohemia where liability is a concern, hot mix is the only responsible choice.
We can perform emergency pothole repair year-round, but there are limitations when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Asphalt needs warmth to compact properly and bond with existing pavement. Cold weather makes that difficult.
For true emergencies—hazards that create immediate liability or safety risks—we use infrared asphalt repair technology. This method heats the existing pavement around the pothole, allowing us to blend new material seamlessly even in less-than-ideal conditions. The repair isn’t as durable as a warm-weather hot mix application, but it’s far better than cold patch.
Ideally, you schedule asphalt patching between late spring and early fall when Bohemia temperatures stay consistently warm. That’s when we can guarantee the longest-lasting repairs. If you’re dealing with a dangerous pothole in January, we’ll handle it—but we’ll also recommend a permanent repair once weather permits.
Most commercial pothole repairs in Bohemia run between $150 and $500 per hole, depending on size, depth, and whether the base needs work. A small surface pothole costs less than a deep crater with base failure underneath.
The real cost comparison isn’t repair versus no repair—it’s early repair versus delayed repair. A pothole that costs $200 to fix today might require $2,000 in work after one winter of freeze-thaw damage. Water infiltration spreads the damage beyond the visible hole, undermining larger sections of your parking lot.
There’s also the liability factor. One trip-and-fall claim or vehicle damage lawsuit can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Property owners in New York are held responsible for maintaining safe premises. If someone gets hurt because you ignored a known pothole, your insurance rates go up even if the claim doesn’t bankrupt you.
We provide free assessments for commercial properties. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs before we start, and we can prioritize the most dangerous hazards if budget is a concern.
Our Seamless Patch technique is designed specifically to match your existing asphalt texture and appearance. We’re not just filling holes—we’re restoring your pavement to its original condition as closely as possible.
The process starts with proper edge preparation. We cut clean lines around the damaged area and remove all deteriorated material. Then we apply hot mix asphalt that’s similar in composition to your existing pavement. The heat allows us to blend the edges so there’s no visible lip or seam.
New asphalt is darker than aged pavement, so there will be a color difference initially. That fades over six to twelve months as the new material oxidizes and weathers. The texture and surface quality, though, should match immediately. You won’t feel a bump or depression when you drive over the repair.
For residential driveways, we can also sealcoat the entire surface after repairs cure. That creates a uniform appearance and adds a protective layer that extends the life of both the repair and your original pavement.
If you’re looking at isolated potholes or cracks, repair makes sense. If more than 30% of your pavement surface is damaged, replacement becomes more cost-effective than patching everything individually.
Signs you need full replacement include widespread alligator cracking, multiple areas of base failure, and drainage problems that cause water to pool across large sections. At that point, the structural integrity of your pavement is compromised. Patching individual spots won’t solve the underlying issues.
For most Bohemia properties, though, the problem is localized damage from freeze-thaw cycles or heavy traffic in specific areas. Those situations are perfect for hot mix repairs. We remove the damaged sections, address any base problems, and restore those areas to full strength.
We’ll give you an honest assessment when we look at your property. If repairs make sense, we’ll recommend that. If you’re throwing money at a failing parking lot that needs replacement, we’ll tell you that too. The goal is to solve your problem in the most cost-effective way, not to sell you services you don’t need.
