Paving in El Mirage

Asphalt paving in El Mirage covers two very different towns in one. El Mirage began in the early 1930s, when migrant farm workers settled on the west bank of the Agua Fria River, and it incorporated as a town on June 25, 1951. For decades it stayed small, with 7,609 residents in 2000. Then subdivisions arrived, and by 2010 it had 31,797 people, an increase of nearly 318 percent. The 2020 census counted 35,805, with a median age of just 30.3.

2000s subdivisions

Most El Mirage homes date from that 2000s boom. Their driveways and HOA streets are now 15 to 25 years old, gray and cracked but usually still sound. Crack sealing and sealcoating are the best investments at this stage, and patches where the base has failed.

Older neighborhoods

The original town near the river has older homes with driveways that may be decades old and thin. Those often need full replacement with a proper base.

The Agua Fria

El Mirage sits along the Agua Fria River, crossed by the historic El Mirage Agua Fria River Bridge built in 1895. The river is usually dry, but low ground near it and nearby washes can carry fast monsoon runoff. We check drainage carefully on properties near the river.

Near Luke AFB

El Mirage is near Luke Air Force Base, and many homes are rentals or change hands with military moves. Sealing and crack repair before a sale or a new tenant improve curb appeal at modest cost.

Common El Mirage jobs

Driveway replacements in the older part of town
Pothole and edge repairs after monsoon storms
Small business lot sealing and striping along Grand Avenue

Seasons

Spring is ideal for crack sealing before the monsoon. Fall through spring is best for sealcoating. Summer paving starts at first light.

Grand Avenue businesses

Older businesses along Grand Avenue have small lots that see steady traffic. We patch, seal and restripe them quickly, often in a single day.

Young community, young pavement

With a median age around 30, El Mirage is full of young families and first-time homeowners. For many, sealing and crack sealing every few years is an affordable way to protect a driveway that should last decades.

Planning a job

El Mirage is close to Peoria, so scheduling is easy. Spring is ideal for crack sealing before the monsoon, fall through spring for sealcoating, and early summer mornings for paving.

What we check

We look at whether cracks are single lines or a web, whether edges have broken into the gravel, and how storm water leaves the lot. For older homes, we check the thickness of the old asphalt to decide between repair and replacement.

Pricing

We price every part of the job in writing, with no pressure to decide on the spot.

Do you need a permit in El Mirage?

Work at the curb or approach usually needs city approval. We confirm the City of El Mirage's requirements first.

Can you do it before my house goes on the market?
