All asphalt services
Kitchener Asphalt Paving Pros is an asphalt paving contractor serving homes, businesses, farms and institutions across Waterloo Region and Wellington County since 2013. This page lists all 17 of our services, grouped by who usually books them, with typical prices before HST.
Homeowners mostly call us for driveways, walkways and repairs, while property managers, condo boards and industrial owners need lots, private roads, curbs and ongoing maintenance. Across more than 2,500 jobs, the common thread is the same: the right base for the load, then the right mix on top.
If you are not sure what your pavement needs, the diagnosis table further down matches common problems to the service that fixes them.
Residential
Residential paving starts with one question: is the base under your current surface still sound? The answer decides whether you need a new driveway, a replacement or just a new top layer.
New driveways and carports over gravel or a fresh base, built on 150 to 200 mm of Granular A with 60 mm of compacted HL3. Every one is graded to drain at least 2% away from the house.
When old asphalt is worn out, we lift it for recycling, correct the base and repave, usually in a single day for a double driveway. Failed bases get a full dig-out of 250 to 350 mm.
A 40 to 50 mm HL3 overlay renews a grey, rough driveway whose structure is still solid, adding 8 to 15 years. We mill the tie-ins at the garage and street so the new surface meets them flush.
Electric cable or hydronic PEX tubing built into a new driveway melts snow and ice without shovelling or salt. A Licensed Electrical Contractor or TSSA-registered gas contractor handles the connections.
Paths, side yards and gentle ramps paved by hand in HL3 or the finer HL3F over 100 to 150 mm of Granular A. Public walkways follow AODA width and slope rules.
Asphalt floors for detached garages, pole barns and equipment sheds, laid in two lifts so tractors and trucks do not rut them.
Laser-graded basketball and tennis court bases finished with an HL3F top lift, ready for a court surfacing contractor to colour coat and line.
Repair and upkeep
Repairs cost a fraction of repaving and are worth doing as long as the base is sound. Our asphalt repair overview explains how we diagnose the damage before recommending a fix.
The starting point for any damaged driveway or lot: we find out whether the problem is the surface or the base, then match it to the right repair.
Damaged areas are saw-cut, removed and replaced with compacted hot mix, from a single pothole to full-depth commercial patches.
Hot-pour rubberized sealant from an oil-jacketed melter keeps water out of cracks before freeze-thaw widens them. Drivable within 30 to 60 minutes.
Heats existing asphalt and blends in fresh mix with no cold seam, a strong fit for potholes, raised seams and settled catch basins.
Coal-tar-free water-based or oil-based sealer that slows oxidation and salt damage, applied after the first year and then every 2 to 3 years.
Hot-water washing with a surface cleaner lifts oil, moss and grime before sealing, or simply brightens a tired driveway or lot.
Specialty
Beyond pavement, our crews also work with hot asphalt on low-slope roofs.
We repair hot asphalt flat roofs on garages, shops and low-slope commercial buildings. Each job is quoted after an inspection, with small repairs from $600.
Quick diagnosis
Match what you see on your driveway or lot to the likely cause, then book the service in the last column. A site visit confirms the diagnosis before you pay for anything.
| What you see | Likely cause | Service to book |
|---|---|---|
| Hairline cracks on an otherwise smooth surface | Normal aging and oxidation | Sealcoating, with cold-pour filler in the hairlines |
| Wider cracks that open and close with the seasons | Freeze-thaw movement and water entry | Hot-pour crack sealing |
| Potholes | Water under a cracked surface, broken up by traffic | Pothole repair and patching |
| Spiderweb or alligator cracking | Base failure under that area | Full-depth patch, or removal and replacement if widespread |
| Grey, faded, rough surface | Oxidation and ravelling of the top layer | Resurfacing if the structure is sound |
| Sinking around drains or catch basins | Settled base around the basin | Infrared repair or a full-depth patch |
| Ruts and potholes in a gravel driveway | Loose stone with no bound surface | Grade and pave with hot mix |
| Puddles that sit for hours after rain | Poor slope or a settled section | Patch and regrade, or replacement for large areas |
| Oil stains, moss or grime | Surface contamination | Power washing before sealing |
