Sealcoating in Carthage, Missouri

Carthage is the Jasper County seat — a town built on limestone and Victorian architecture, with one of the prettiest historic squares in Missouri. I-49 and the old US-71 corridor run through town, and the big manufacturing plants on the edges keep truck traffic moving.

Those Victorian neighborhoods have some of the oldest residential pavement in the region. Original driveways from decades back, patched and re-patched, sitting through every freeze-thaw since. Some of them can be saved with honest repair and sealcoating. Some of them are past it and need paving. We'll tell you which.

Our Asphalt Services in Carthage

• Asphalt repair — Potholes, crumbling edges, and failed patches. We cut out what's failed and repair it so it ties into the good pavement around it.
• Crack filling — We clean out cracks and fill them with hot rubberized crack filler that flexes with the pavement instead of popping back out.
• Sealcoating — A protective coat over the asphalt that shields it from sun and water and gives the whole surface a clean, uniform black finish.
• Asphalt paving — New driveways, extensions, and parking areas, plus new paving where the old surface is past saving. Proper base, proper compaction.
• Chip seal — Liquid asphalt with layers of stone chips rolled in. A tough, economical surface for long driveways and rural lanes around Jasper County.

Victorian Homes, Aging Driveways

The historic districts around the square and the old neighborhoods off Grand and Main have driveways as old as the houses' second or third roofs. Decades of patching leave a lumpy surface that holds water — and standing water is what kills asphalt. Around the industrial areas and the highway commercial strips, it's truck traffic doing the damage. Either way, the starting point is the same: an honest look at whether the pavement can be repaired and sealed or whether it needs to come out.
