At Bart’s Asphalt, we are dedicated to customer satisfaction and take pride in providing asphalt maintenance services that our customers in Lansing and beyond consistently praise for their quality, reliability, and positive impact. Here’s what our clients have to say about their experiences with us:

Why Most Asphalt Repairs in Michigan Don’t Last

The biggest complaint Lansing property managers have isn’t the damage; it’s that repairs don’t last. Most repeat failures come from using the wrong materials for Michigan’s freeze–thaw climate and skipping key prep steps like tack coat, proper compaction, and drainage checks.

Cold patch, for example, often falls apart within months, letting water back into the base and causing you to pay for the same pothole twice. And when contractors cut corners on prep and communication, you miss out on important maintenance windows and watch your lot get worse while you wait.

Our Commercial Parking Lot Repair Process

We walk your property, spot problem areas on the surface and underneath, and choose the repair option that fits your traffic, pavement condition, and budget so you get long-lasting repairs instead of quick fixes.

1. Free On-Site Pavement Condition Assessment

Commercial parking lot repairs start with understanding the condition of your pavement today. We come out to your property within 24–48 hours to assess the condition of your parking lot and provide a clear, no-pressure quote that explains what work is needed, how we’ll fix it, and how long it will take. Your Asphalt Advisor identifies problem areas, checks what’s under the surface, reviews how water drains, and lets you know whether any city permits are needed before our work begins.

2. Custom Repair Plan

Your Asphalt Advisor chooses the repair option that makes the most sense for your lot, based on its condition, traffic volume, and your budget. If any permits or traffic control plans are needed for work near streets or sidewalks, Bart’s Asphalt takes care of all the paperwork and approvals for you.

3. Professional Repair Execution

Our trained crews use high-quality hot asphalt from trusted Michigan suppliers and install it at the right temperature so that it bonds properly. We compact it firmly and make sure water drains properly before we leave. If sealcoating is needed, we use asphalt emulsion sealer — not coal tar products — so your parking lot stays protected while meeting Michigan’s environmental rules and avoiding the strong odors and runoff concerns that come with coal tar-based sealers.

4. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup

We walk you through the finished work and answer any questions you may have. We don’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied.

Our Commercial Asphalt Repair Services

Every parking lot wears out in its own way, so not every problem will require the same solution. The right repair depends on the kind of damage, what’s under the surface, and how much traffic it gets. 

Bart’s Asphalt offers five repair options designed for Michigan’s weather:

Commercial Pothole Patching

Potholes pose a safety risk that worsens every time the weather freezes and thaws. Bart’s Asphalt uses hot-mix asphalt installed at the right temperature and packed down firmly so it bonds well, rather than quick cold patch fixes that often fall apart after one Michigan winter. Done correctly, hot mix patches last for years, not just one season.

Commercial Infrared Asphalt Repair

When your lot is too worn for small patches, we remove the rough top layer and put down fresh hot asphalt so it looks and drives like new. This process smooths out bumps, prevents puddles, and extends the life of your parking lot without the cost and hassle of a full replacement.

Commercial Asphalt Milling and Patching

When surface damage is too widespread for simple patches, we grind off the worn top layer and replace it with fresh hot asphalt. This “mill and overlay” evens out bumps, fixes drainage issues like standing water, and adds years of life to your lot without the cost of a full rebuild. We also apply a bonding layer so the new asphalt sticks firmly to the old base.

Commercial Asphalt Saw-Cut and Replacement

For serious pavement damage, such as heavy cracking, failing loading dock areas, or areas torn up by truck traffic, saw-cutting and removing the patch is the strongest, most reliable fix. We cut out the bad asphalt and weak base, rebuild the area from the ground up, and reinforce it when soil conditions require it, giving you a long-lasting repair that’s ready for heavy use.

Common Asphalt Repair Questions From Lansing Property Managers

It’s normal to have questions about asphalt repairs, so we’ve answered the most common ones here to help you plan the right solution for your parking lot.

What's the difference between infrared repair and traditional patching?

Infrared heat exists in the asphalt, so the new material bonds seamlessly with the old surface. Traditional methods cut out and replace the damaged section. Infrared creates a stronger seam with less disruption, which is critical in freeze-thaw climates where patch edges are the first failure point.

Isolated potholes, cracks, and edge failures are good candidates for repair, while widespread alligator cracking or subgrade failure usually requires replacement. Call (517) 888-3208 for a free assessment — your Asphalt Advisor will tell you what your lot actually needs.

Most repairs don’t require a full closure, as Bart’s Asphalt sections off the work area to keep your business accessible. Evening and weekend scheduling are available for clients who prefer zero impact on operating hours.

It depends on the scope. Lots over one acre or major resurfacing may need site plan review and stormwater management permits through the City of Lansing and Michigan EGLE. Bart’s Asphalt handles the permitting process so you don’t have to.

An annual inspection can catch problems before they spread. Crack sealing every 1 to 2 years and sealcoating every 2 to 3 years prevent the kind of damage that leads to full-depth repairs. A preventive maintenance plan costs a fraction of the cost of emergency work.
