Parking Lot Repair & Asphalt Patching in Cambridge, ON

Pothole patching, crack sealing, catch basin repair, and resurfacing.

Freeze-thaw cycles make asphalt maintenance a recurring capital line for every Canadian commercial property. Crack sealing and patching in year 1–5 defers full resurfacing, which costs 10–20× more.

Cambridge carries a labour index of 1.00 against the national baseline, 73 snowfall days a year, and roughly 3,700 commercial buildings competing for operator capacity. Those three inputs move the asphalt repair band below more than any other local factor.

Compliance in Ontario

  • Confirm the operator is in good standing with the Ontario workplace safety board.
  • Request a certificate of insurance naming the property owner as additional insured.
  • Verify commercial general liability limits match the site's exposure, commonly $2M–$5M.
  • Require written service logs with timestamps for any trigger-based service.

What to check before signing

  • Is the repair hot-mix, cold-patch, or infrared — and is that appropriate for the season?
  • Are catch basins and drainage inspected as part of the quote?
  • What traffic-bearing cure time is quoted?

Frequently asked questions

When is patching enough vs. full resurfacing?

If less than ~25% of the surface shows distress, patching and crack sealing typically buys 3–7 years. Beyond that, resurfacing is usually cheaper per year of service life.
