Serving Daly City, CA and surrounding areas. (415) 259-5082
Cracked, sunken, or crumbling asphalt is more than an eyesore. We replace worn driveways with properly graded, base-compacted asphalt built to handle Bay Area soils and wet winters.
Asphalt paving in Daly City, CA means removing the old surface, grading and compacting the ground underneath, then laying hot asphalt mix and rolling it smooth - most residential driveways go from bare ground to finished pavement in a single day.
A lot of driveways in Daly City were put in decades ago, and the soils underneath have been shifting ever since. The clay-heavy ground common on the San Francisco Peninsula moves with every wet season, which is why so many older driveways show cracking and settling that cannot be fixed with patching alone. When the base has failed, a full replacement is the only lasting solution. If your surface still has some life left, pairing asphalt paving with parking lot paving or driveway paving services can address specific areas without replacing everything at once.
Small cracks are normal as asphalt ages, but when they start connecting across a wide area, the surface is breaking down from below. In Daly City, clay soils shift with moisture changes and can accelerate this process, turning minor cracking into a much larger problem if left alone.
Puddles sitting on your driveway after rain or fog mean the surface has settled unevenly. Standing water works its way into the base and speeds up deterioration - every wet season makes the problem worse and more expensive to fix.
The perimeter of an asphalt driveway is the first place to show age. When edges chip away or break off in pieces, the surface has lost structural integrity. Patching edges alone will not hold for long on a driveway in this condition.
Potholes and depressions mean the base underneath has failed or shifted. On Daly City hillside lots, soil movement can cause sections to sink noticeably. At this stage, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated patching.
We handle residential driveways from complete tear-out and replacement to new installations on bare ground. Every project starts with a subgrade assessment - we want to know what the soil is doing before anything gets paved. On the hillside lots common throughout Daly City, that assessment determines how thick the base needs to be and how the surface will be graded for drainage. Our parking lot paving service extends the same standard to commercial properties and multi-unit driveways.
For smaller sites or properties where the existing base is still intact, we can discuss a targeted overlay approach as part of our driveway paving work - removing and replacing only what has failed. We will be direct about what we find and what approach will actually last rather than pushing the option with the highest ticket price. The National Asphalt Pavement Association provides industry guidelines for base thickness and compaction that we follow on every project - asphaltpavement.org.
Right for driveways where the existing surface is crumbling, deeply cracked, or sitting on a failed base - a fresh start built to last.
For properties that have never had an asphalt surface - includes full base prep, grading, and paving from scratch.
For small commercial lots and multi-unit properties that need a durable, striping-ready surface to handle regular vehicle traffic.
Daly City sits on a series of hills above the Pacific, and the terrain here creates paving challenges you simply do not run into on a flat suburban lot. Many residential driveways slope sharply, which means the base must be built to resist downhill creep as the surface cures and as the ground shifts underneath over time. Properly grading the finished surface so water runs away from the garage and foundation - rather than pooling along the base of the slope - is a basic requirement that not every contractor handles correctly on hilly sites. We also serve homeowners in Colma, CA and South San Francisco, CA where similar hillside conditions and clay soils create the same base-prep demands.
The coastal climate adds another layer of complexity. Daly City is one of the foggiest cities in the Bay Area, and asphalt paving requires dry conditions and warm enough temperatures for the mix to be laid and compacted properly. Experienced local crews know to plan around the marine layer - sometimes that means starting later in the day once surfaces have dried, or moving a job date to avoid a forecast wet stretch. Contractors who do not know the local weather patterns often rush through in conditions that lead to poor bonding and early surface failure.
Call or submit a request and we will schedule a property visit. You will receive a written estimate within 1 business day of our assessment, covering removal, base work, and paving - no hidden add-ons.
If your project touches the city apron or curb cut, we handle the permit application. Permit timelines vary, so we raise this at the estimate stage so you can plan accordingly.
We break out and haul away the old surface, then grade and compact the base. This is the most critical step - a properly built base is what keeps the finished surface level on Daly City's shifting soils.
Hot asphalt is laid and rolled smooth in sections. We grade the surface for drainage and clean up the edges. Before we leave, we walk the finished driveway with you to confirm everything looks right.
We visit your property, assess the base, and give you a written quote with no pressure. Most estimates are delivered within 1 business day.
(415) 259-5082Daly City's clay-heavy ground shifts with every wet season, and a thin or poorly compacted base is why most driveways fail early here. We assess the subgrade before paving and build the base to handle local soil movement, not just average conditions.
Many streets in Daly City run steep grades. We know how to compact asphalt on a slope and grade the surface so water sheds away from the garage and foundation rather than pooling where it causes damage.
Our contractor license is verifiable on the California Contractors State License Board website before you sign anything. A valid license means legal protections for you and confirms we carry the insurance required by the state.
Every estimate spells out exactly what is included: removal, base work, asphalt thickness, and final grade. You have a document to hold us to, and we walk the job with you when it is done before calling it complete.
Every one of those points comes down to the same thing: we do the work that actually determines whether your driveway lasts. The California Contractors State License Board gives you a quick way to verify our license at cslb.ca.gov before you commit - and we encourage you to do exactly that.
