Bronco Asphalt Maintenance

Your pavement basks in the broiling summer sun, and is subjected to wide temperature swings and sudden frosts in fall. Then in winter. Do we really need to talk about what Kalamazoo winters do to asphalt? Come spring, the deterioration of your driveway or parking lot is alarming. If you wait for another spring, the damage may take more than protective sealcoating and patching.

Sunlight: Oxidation caused by sunlight breaks down the asphalt glue or bonding agent that holds the paving aggregate together. That results in shrinkage which creates cracks, allowing water to seep in and do more damage. Poor Construction: Sometimes you're just stuck with a bad job to begin with. The company that originally laid your pavement may not have built enough of a base or laid enough asphalt.

Bronco Asphalt Maintenance is West Michigan's trusted name in quality asphalt maintenance services. Since 2008, our professional staff has repaired, preserved and beautified commercial and residential asphalt for thousands of satisfied clients. Based in Kalamazoo, Bronco Asphalt's service area generally extends from Grand Rapids to Three Rivers and the Indiana border, and Battle Creek to Holland, South Haven and St. Joseph/Benton Harbor.

Hot rubberized crack filling has a reputation for having the lowest failure rate of the methods used to repair cracks. That's why we use it as Bronco Asphalt Maintenance. Cracks in asphalt are caused by oxidation, drying out and shrinking of asphalt, poor installation, water penetration and the freeze/thaw cycle in cold climates.

Asphalt sealcoating is a bituminous surface treatment consisting of a thin, water-proof layer to protect pavement and to increase resistance to skids. Protective professional-grade sealant provides a tough barrier to the pavement surface and slows oxidation and deterioration.

Bronco Asphalt Maintenance recommends sealcoating following the first winter your asphalt is installed and every 2-3 years afterward depending on traffic volume and snowplow damage.Asphalt lasts longer: Sealcoating extends the life cycle by approximately 300% with regular maintenance.
