Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Rochester Hills. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Rochester Hills is a large, established suburb built mostly from the 1970s onward, with subdivision after subdivision spread across rolling ground between Adams Road and Dequindre, and busy commercial corridors along Rochester Road, M-59 and Walton. It is one of the places we pave most, and the work is a steady mix of driveway replacement and resurfacing for homes now 30 to 50 years old, and commercial lot work along the main roads.
Asphalt Express LLC has worked in Rochester Hills for over 30 years. On residential jobs we assess whether the original base is still sound enough to resurface or has broken down and needs full replacement, and we are honest about which is which. On commercial jobs we phase the work to keep the lot open and handle everything from base to striping.
The owner is on every job, whether it is a single driveway or a shopping centre lot.
Every service we offer is available in Rochester Hills. Most of our work here is residential driveway replacement and resurfacing, but the businesses along the main roads get the same crew and the same standard.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Rochester Hills that is most often a full driveway replacement on a home that has outlived its original surface.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Rochester Hills retail, office and service businesses we phase the work so parking is always available and finish with fresh striping.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For a Rochester Hills subdivision driveway, sealing every two to three years is what keeps it out of the replacement budget.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Many Rochester Hills driveways from the 1980s and 90s are candidates: the base is fine, the surface is not.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Rochester Hills that is mostly driveway replacement and resurfacing in the established subdivisions.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a side drive, RV pad or long approach in Rochester Hills, millings are a practical alternative to full paving.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Rochester Hills driveway with alligator cracking and sunken sections, the base has failed and replacement is the right call.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Rochester Hills businesses that means potholes fixed quickly, cracks sealed and striping refreshed.
Rochester Hills is hillier than its neighbours to the south, and the ground is largely clay. Sloped driveways need careful grading so water runs to the street, and clay under an old surface heaves in winter. A properly compacted aggregate base under new asphalt is what makes the difference.
On subdivision driveways that have never been sealed, we typically see greying, ravelling and cracking that has let water into the base. Some of those can still be resurfaced; many cannot. Sealing every two to three years from early on is far cheaper than replacement.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Oakland County are set by the Road Commission for Oakland County; for hot-mix specifications we work to the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan guidance.
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.
Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.
The owner checks the base before the paver arrives and the finish before we leave. That is how our standard stays consistent across hundreds of driveways.
