Asphalt Paving Reviews from Denver Clients
Denver property managers rate Asphalt Coatings Company 4.7 out of 5 on Google, and these three reviews describe their Denver projects in full.
Mill and Overlay in Denver
Mill and overlay replaces the worn top layer of a Denver parking lot when the base underneath is still sound.
Mill and overlay fits a Denver parking lot that shows these signs.
- Cracking and raveling spread across the surface
- A sound base with little rutting or settling
- Low spots that a new surface grade can correct
- Curbs and gutters that the new asphalt has to meet at the same height
Your parking lot needs more than mill and overlay if it shows one of these signs.
- Alligator cracking from a failed base
- Heaving or soft spots from the soil underneath
- Water trapped under the pavement
At Storage Tech in Denver, our crew milled the drive aisles nine days after trenching the valley pans and paved new asphalt the next day. See the Storage Tech project
How Denver Weather Wears Down Asphalt
Denver asphalt wears from five local conditions, which are freeze-thaw cycles, hail, strong sun at altitude, swelling clay soils and winter de-icers.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Denver averages 156 days a year with a low at or below freezing, and only 22 days that stay below freezing all day.
Sealing cracks keeps water and debris out of the pavement, which is why we seal cracks before winter.
Hail
Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming usually have the most hailstorms in the country, and the hail alley where they meet averages seven to nine hail days a year.
After a hail season, we check the sealcoat and markings on your parking lot during the free assessment.
Strong Sun at Altitude
UV levels rise with altitude because thinner air absorbs less of it, and Denver's climate station sits at about 5,414 feet.
UV ageing hardens asphalt binder and makes it brittle from the surface down, and we recommend sealcoating every 2 to 3 years.
Swelling Clay Soils
About half of the Denver area has moderately swelling soils, and about a quarter has high to very high swell potential.
Soil that swells and shrinks can crack and heave the pavement above it, so on new paving we prepare the subgrade before any asphalt goes down.
Winter De-Icers
Metro streets are treated with liquid and granular de-icer through the winter.
Sealed cracks keep de-icer meltwater out of the base, so we seal cracks before the first snow.
Denver Right-of-Way Asphalt License
Asphalt Coatings Company holds City and County of Denver ROW Asphalt License #00249954, so our crews can work in the public right-of-way next to your property.
Right-of-way (ROW) means the public streets, sidewalks and driveway aprons next to your property. Our crews can work there, not just inside your parking lot.
We confirm the permits your Denver project needs before we schedule it, and current license documentation is available on request.
Restriping and the ADA
Restriping brings accessible-parking rules with it. ADA rules for Denver parking lots

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions Denver property owners ask most about asphalt paving, licensing and scheduling.
Season and Weather
When Is Asphalt Paving Season in Denver?
Asphalt paving in Denver runs mainly from spring to fall. Hot mix asphalt goes only on unfrozen surfaces when the air and surface temperatures meet the minimums in Colorado Department of Transportation specification 401.07, and Denver's median last spring freeze is May 5 and its median first fall freeze is October 9.
Can You Pave a Denver Parking Lot in Winter?
Winter paving depends on the day. Hot mix asphalt can't go on frozen or wet surfaces, but Denver averages about 11 days a month from December to February that reach 50 F, so short repairs are sometimes possible. We schedule around the forecast and move dates when the weather is unsuitable.
How Does Freeze-Thaw Damage a Denver Parking Lot?
Water gets into cracks, freezes and expands, then thaws, and repeated cycles widen the cracks into potholes. Denver records a low at or below freezing on about 156 days a year, and sealing cracks keeps water and debris out.
Permits and Licensing
Is Asphalt Coatings Company Licensed in Denver?
Yes. Asphalt Coatings Company holds City and County of Denver ROW Asphalt License #00249954, and current documentation is available on request.
Do I Need a Permit to Repave a Parking Lot in Denver?
That depends on the scope. Paving that reaches the public right-of-way, such as a driveway apron or a sidewalk at the street, is right-of-way work, and we confirm the permits your project needs before we schedule it.
Does Repaving or Restriping Change ADA Requirements?
Yes. The Department of Justice says a business that restripes its parking lot must provide accessible spaces as the 2010 ADA Standards require, and resurfacing a vehicular way counts as an alteration under those Standards.

Projects
Is Mill and Overlay Right for My Denver Parking Lot?
Mill and overlay fits when the surface is worn but the base is sound. Base failure, heaving from swelling soils or water under the pavement call for full-depth repair or reconstruction instead, and we decide on site at the free assessment.
Do You Pave Residential Driveways in Denver?
No. Asphalt Coatings Company works on commercial properties only, including apartment communities and HOAs.
