Asphalt Paving in Phoenix, AZ

Asphalt paving in Phoenix, for us, means the north and west parts of the city that border Peoria and Glendale. Phoenix incorporated in 1881 and had 1,608,139 residents at the 2020 census. It is one of the hottest major cities in the country: the average July high is 106.5 degrees, the city averages 111 days a year at 100 degrees or more and about 21 days at 110 or more, and its record is 122 degrees, set on June 26, 1990.

The heat island

As Phoenix has grown, its pavement and buildings have stored more heat and released it at night, raising summer lows. On July 19, 2023, the low never dropped below 97 degrees. Pavement that never fully cools ages faster. Regular sealing is the best defense.

Monsoon season

Since 2008, the National Weather Service has defined monsoon season as June 15 through September 30. Phoenix averages only about 7.2 inches of rain a year at Sky Harbor, but storms can be intense. Sealing cracks in spring and keeping drainage paths clear are key.

North and west Phoenix neighborhoods

Neighborhoods near the Peoria and Glendale borders range from older homes with long-worn driveways to 1990s and 2000s HOA subdivisions. We replace driveways where the base has failed and seal and crack-seal where it is still sound.

Commercial lots

Retail and office lots in north and west Phoenix carry heavy traffic. We repair, overlay, seal and restripe them in phases, laying out accessible stalls to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Common Phoenix jobs

• Driveway replacements and overlays
• HOA street crack sealing and sealcoating
• Commercial lot repairs and striping
• Monsoon washout and pothole repairs

Pricing

National guides list new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot (HomeGuide) and $7 to $15 (Angi), with sealing at about $1 to $2 per square foot. Every Phoenix quote lists each part of the job.

HOA communities

Many north Phoenix neighborhoods have HOAs. We provide written specs for approval and phase street work with resident notices.

Pavement and night heat

Because pavement holds heat overnight, asphalt in Phoenix rarely gets a chance to cool fully in summer. That speeds oxidation. A sealcoat every few years is the most cost-effective protection.

Timing

With 111 days a year at 100 degrees or more, most Phoenix sealcoating happens from October through April. Paving in summer starts at dawn.

What we check

We look at crack patterns, surface wear, drainage and joints at the garage and street, plus HOA requirements where they apply.

Rentals and resales

For rentals and homes going on the market, crack sealing and sealcoating give the most curb appeal for the money.
