From new driveways and commercial parking lots to overlays, repairs and our signature seal coating — Advance Asphalt Services delivers durable asphalt built for Colorado, across the entire Denver metro area and beyond.
When you're searching for an asphalt paving company in Denver, you're not just hiring someone to lay down a black surface — you're trusting a contractor to protect one of the most-used parts of your property against one of the harshest pavement climates in the country. Advance Asphalt Services has built its name doing exactly that: honest, high-quality asphalt work for homeowners and businesses across the Denver metro, backed by a BBB A+ accreditation and a family-owned commitment to doing the job right the first time.
Denver's combination of intense high-altitude sun, dramatic temperature swings, and roughly 150 freeze-thaw cycles a year is brutal on asphalt. Pavement that was installed without proper base preparation — or left unsealed for too long — can crack, ravel and fail years before it should. That's why we approach every project as both an installation and a long-term maintenance plan. We don't just want your driveway or parking lot to look great on day one; we want it to still be performing a decade or two later. From asphalt driveways and commercial parking lots to overlays, patching, crack filling and seal coating, we offer the full lifecycle of asphalt services under one roof.
Below you'll find a complete breakdown of what we do, how the process works, what affects pricing, and the questions Denver-area property owners ask us most. If you'd rather just talk it through, call us anytime at (720) 787-8699 — we provide free, no-obligation estimates throughout the metro and beyond.
Every service below is available for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Denver metro area and surrounding Front Range communities.
Whether you're paving a brand-new surface or replacing one that's reached the end of its life, proper installation is everything. We excavate, grade and compact a stable aggregate base before laying hot-mix asphalt in correctly engineered lifts. That base work is the single biggest factor in how long Denver asphalt lasts — and it's the step too many companies rush. We never do.
Asphalt Paving DenverA new asphalt driveway boosts curb appeal, increases property value, and gives you a smooth, durable surface that's far more affordable than concrete up front. We handle everything from tear-out of the old driveway to final grading for proper drainage — critical in Colorado, where standing water and freeze-thaw are a driveway's worst enemies. Most driveways are ready to drive on within a few days.
Asphalt Driveway DenverYour parking lot is the first thing customers experience. We build and resurface commercial lots with the load-bearing base and thickness they need to handle daily traffic, then finish with clean, ADA-conscious striping and markings. We schedule around your business hours to keep downtime to a minimum, whether it's a small retail lot or a large multi-tenant property.
Parking Lot Paving DenverIf your pavement's base is still sound but the surface is worn, cracked or faded, an overlay is the smart, cost-effective answer. We lay a fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt over the existing surface, giving you a like-new finish at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. We'll always tell you honestly whether your surface is a good overlay candidate or whether the base has failed and needs reconstruction.
Asphalt Overlay DenverPotholes and damaged sections don't fix themselves — they spread. Water gets in, freezes, and tears the pavement apart from the inside. We square out, clean and repair damaged areas with durable hot or cold patch, restoring a safe, smooth surface and stopping small problems before they become expensive ones. Fast, affordable, and a fraction of the cost of letting damage grow.
Asphalt Repair DenverCracks are how water gets into your asphalt — and water is what destroys it. Sealing cracks promptly is one of the cheapest, highest-return maintenance steps you can take. We clean and fill cracks with a flexible sealant that moves with Colorado's freeze-thaw expansion, keeping moisture out of the base and dramatically extending the life of the surface.
Crack Filling DenverSeal coating is what we do best. Using Masterseal Asphalt Emulsion Sealant — recognized as #1 in the nation for quality and performance — we apply a protective membrane that shields your asphalt from gas, oil, salt, UV oxidation and freeze-thaw water seepage. The result is a rich, like-new black finish and years of added life. We back our seal coating with up to a 3-year warranty.
Seal Coating DenverAsphalt that performs beautifully in a mild coastal climate can fail fast at 5,280 feet. Denver throws three major stresses at every paved surface, and a good asphalt paving company has to design around all of them.
Denver experiences roughly 150 freeze-thaw cycles a year — among the highest of any major U.S. metro. Every time water seeps into a crack and freezes, it expands by about nine percent, prying the pavement apart. Then it thaws and the cycle repeats. This is why crack sealing and seal coating aren't optional luxuries here; they're the difference between asphalt that lasts 7 years and asphalt that lasts 25.
At Denver's elevation, ultraviolet radiation is significantly stronger than at sea level. UV breaks down the asphalt binder that holds the surface together, causing that familiar gray, brittle, raveling look. Seal coating restores and protects the binder, which is why we recommend it every two to three years for most Denver properties.
It's not unusual for Denver to swing 40 degrees or more between a sunny afternoon and a freezing night. Asphalt expands and contracts with every swing, and surfaces that weren't installed on a properly compacted base will crack under that constant movement. Our emphasis on base preparation is a direct response to this reality — it's the foundation, literally, of everything that lasts.
Understanding these forces is exactly why we operate as a full-lifecycle asphalt company rather than a one-and-done paving crew. Anyone can lay asphalt. Making it survive Colorado is the real job. For an authoritative deep-dive on how asphalt pavement is engineered and maintained, the National Asphalt Pavement Association is an excellent industry resource.
As a full-service asphalt paving company, we work on properties of every size and type across the Denver metro — and the right approach is never one-size-fits-all. A backyard driveway and a 200-space retail lot share the same basic materials, but the engineering, scheduling and finishing details are worlds apart. Here's how we think about each.
For homeowners, the goals are usually curb appeal, durability and value. A fresh asphalt driveway transforms the look of a home and gives you a smooth, low-maintenance surface for decades — if it's installed correctly. We pay special attention to drainage and grading on residential jobs, because the most common cause of premature driveway failure in Colorado is water pooling and seeping into the base. We also walk every homeowner through a simple maintenance plan so their investment lasts: seal coat every two to three years, fill cracks as they appear, and address any drainage issues early. It's the difference between repaving in ten years and never repaving at all.
For business owners, property managers and HOAs, a parking lot is both a safety responsibility and a first impression. Commercial surfaces carry heavier, more constant loads, so they require a thicker asphalt section and a more robust base. They also come with practical demands: minimizing downtime, maintaining safe access during the work, and finishing with clear, compliant striping and markings. We schedule commercial paving and seal coating around your operating hours — including phased work and overnight scheduling where it makes sense — so your business keeps running while we restore your lot. A well-maintained lot also limits your liability: smooth, clearly marked, pothole-free pavement is far less likely to result in trip-and-fall or vehicle-damage claims.
The single biggest factor in how long any asphalt surface lasts isn't the installation alone — it's what happens in the years after. A simple, proactive schedule keeps small problems small. For most Denver-area properties we recommend: crack filling annually or as cracks appear, seal coating every two to three years, and a professional inspection of drainage and surface condition each spring after the freeze-thaw season. Catching a hairline crack and sealing it for a few dollars today prevents the water intrusion that turns it into a pothole — and eventually a base failure — costing many times more to fix. This is the philosophy behind everything we do: maintenance is always cheaper than replacement.
