"They came out to look at our driveway on a Tuesday and had the work done by Thursday. The new surface drained perfectly through the first big storm of the season - exactly what we needed."
Marcus T., San Carlos - Asphalt paving
"Our parking lot had faded lines and a few spots that kept cracking. They filled the cracks, resealed the whole lot, and re-striped it in one visit. Tenants noticed the difference right away."
Diana L., Redwood City - Parking lot maintenance
"The pothole near our loading dock had been patched twice by another company and kept coming back. This crew fixed it properly - addressed the base issue - and it has held up through two rainy seasons."
Kevin R., San Mateo - Pothole repair

(650) 632-9665San Carlos Asphalt Paving is based in San Carlos, CA and serves 12 communities across the San Francisco Peninsula, from Redwood City and San Mateo to Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. We schedule most jobs within the same week of your estimate and cover the full range of residential and commercial asphalt work in every area we serve.
The gravel base beneath asphalt determines how long your surface lasts - not the asphalt itself. A contractor who skips compaction or cuts the base thin gives you a surface that cracks in a few years no matter how good the mix is.
UV rays break down the asphalt binder, causing the surface to turn gray, dry out, and become brittle. Consistent Bay Area sunshine accelerates this process, making sealcoating every two to three years a genuinely protective investment here.
Clay soils in the Bay Area swell when wet and shrink when dry, putting seasonal stress on any surface above them. This soil movement - not freeze-thaw cycles - is the main reason driveways crack and uneven spots develop in San Carlos and nearby cities.
Hairline surface cracks respond well to sealcoating. Cracks wide enough to fit a coin, widespread alligator patterns, or areas with potholes signal base failure - and no sealant addresses that. A qualified contractor will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
Late spring through early fall is the most reliable window. Asphalt needs dry, warm conditions to bond and compact properly. The Bay Area rainy season runs November through March, so scheduling before then gives your new surface the best start. Learn more at the National Asphalt Pavement Association.
California requires paving contractors to hold a valid state license. You can look up any contractor by name or license number through the California Contractors State License Board at cslb.ca.gov before signing anything. Always ask for proof of insurance as well.

Sealcoating works when the base is still solid and cracks are surface-level. Once you see alligator cracking, potholes, or sunken areas, the base has usually failed and repaving is the right call.
Early signs of a poorly prepared base include cracks appearing within two to three years, low spots that pool water after rain, and edges that crumble and break away. These issues are base failures, not surface problems.
A reputable contractor will stand behind the workmanship - meaning if the surface fails in a way that reflects an installation problem, they come back to address it. Always ask specifically what the contractor will and won't cover.

San Carlos Asphalt Paving is rooted in San Carlos, California- a mid-Peninsula city in San Mateo County known locally as "The City of Good Living." From the flat streets near the Hiller Aviation Museum and the San Carlos Airport to the hillside neighborhoods climbing toward the western hills, we work all over the city and know how different the two sides of town can be when it comes to drainage, slope, and soil conditions.
Most homes in San Carlos were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and after 60 to 70 years, driveways on those properties are well past their original lifespan. The clay-heavy soils common across the Peninsula shift every wet season, and the dry San Carlos summers are hard on unprotected asphalt. Whether your property is on a sloped lot near the hills or a flat street along El Camino Real, San Carlos Asphalt Paving has the experience to get the job done right - and to keep it maintained through every season.
