Asphalt Repair & Restoration
PMI Paving is committed to protecting your paving assets and your property's value.
Your tenants and visitors expect safe, well-maintained pavement. You deserve a paving partner who restores your asphalt correctly and helps you stay ahead of future problems.
Asphalt is often overlooked until it creates complaints.
Let the PMI Paving team show you why organizations throughout Vancouver and Portland trust our experts to maintain their pavement with solutions that address:
Cracks and potholes
Surface damage can lead to increased liability, and worsening failures over time.
Water infiltration
Water that penetrates the pavement surface accelerates deterioration and increases repair costs.
Surface erosion
Deteriorated surfaces make properties appear neglected and reduces curb appeal.
Problems require experts
Solving pavement issues effectively is easier with a PMI Paving's team of asphalt repair experts.
Commercial Asphalt Repair Services
Repairing and maintaining your existing asphalt is one of the most cost effective solutions for pavement preservation. Our asphalt repair services improve safety, extend pavement life, and enhance curb appeal.

We evaluate pavement honestly, recommend appropriate solutions, and stand behind the work we perform.
Full Depth Pothole Repair
A Durable Solution That Addresses the Root Cause of Pavement Failure
Potholes are more than surface defects. They signal structural failure beneath the asphalt and pose safety risks to vehicles and pedestrians. In the Portland and Vancouver metro area, frequent rainfall accelerates this damage by allowing water to penetrate the base layer, weakening the pavement from below.
Full Depth Pothole Repair removes failed asphalt and compromised base material before rebuilding the area with properly compacted aggregate and new asphalt. By restoring the pavement structure, not just patching the surface, this method prevents recurring failures and extends the life of the surrounding pavement. For commercial properties, it provides a durable, efficient solution that reduces liability and protects long-term asset value.
Understanding Mill & Overlay
Extending Pavement Life While Preserving a Strong Existing Base
Mill and Overlay is the process of removing the worn top layer of existing asphalt and installing approximately 2 inches of new asphalt over the remaining structure. This method is best suited for existing asphalt that is at least 6 inches thick and the underlying base remains strong and stable.
By preserving the existing base course and replacing only the surface layer, Mill and Overlay can be a more cost-effective alternative to full-depth asphalt removal and replacement. It restores smoothness, improves appearance, and extends pavement life without the expense of rebuilding from the ground up. However, this solution is most effective before significant structural damage occurs. When deterioration has progressed too far into the base, more extensive repairs may be required.
The right repair starts with a clear plan, built on experience and insight.
Effective pavement repair requires experience, honesty, and planning. We help decision-makers choose solutions that solve problems properly, not temporarily.
We take the time to evaluate pavement conditions and explain repair options clearly. Our goal is to help you make confident decisions that balance performance, budget, and long-term value.
Repairs are planned around traffic patterns, tenant needs, and site operations. That means fewer surprises, less frustration, and work that fits into your day rather than disrupting it.

Common Questions
Here are some the questions that our team most commonly answers from property and facility managers when we discuss asphalt maintenance like sealcoating and crack sealing.
Commercial asphalt repair services address damage and wear in parking lots, drive lanes, access roads, and industrial pavement. These services include milling and overlay, pothole and infrared repair, full-depth patching for potholes and specific failure areas, and pavement lifecycle assessments. The goal is to restore safety, extend pavement life, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Milling and overlay involves removing the existing asphalt surface layer or wear layer, and then installs new asphalt to replace it. It is recommended after assessments find that surface deterioration is widespread but the underlying base is still structurally sound. This process restores smoothness, and provides performance improvements without the cost of full reconstruction.
Milling and overlay addresses only the surface layer, preserving the existing base, which reduces excavation, disposal, and material costs. Full depth restoration is a full replacement of base material and asphalt layers when the base has failed.
Pothole repair is appropriate when pavement damage is limited to isolated areas and the surrounding asphalt is still in good condition. If potholes are widespread or recurring in the same locations, larger repairs such as full-depth patching or full depth asphalt restoration may be more effective.
Yes. Professional contractors should discuss phasing needs upfront during the scoping process. Most commercial asphalt repair projects can be phased to maintain access for tenants, customers, and deliveries. Proficient project management teams plan work schedules, traffic control, and sequencing to minimize disruption while repairs are completed.
Frequent rainfall and seasonal temperature changes accelerate asphalt deterioration in the Portland and Vancouver metro area. Water infiltration is a leading cause of pavement failure, which makes timely repairs, proper drainage, and preventive maintenance especially important for long-term performance here in the Pacific Northwest.
This is our most commonly asked question, and the answer is to let our experience professionals provide a free on-site assessment and discuss your property goals. The right solution depends on the extent of damage, base condition, traffic loads, and long-term property goals. You can schedule an assessment for your next project here.
