How Our Asphalt Work Is Done

Asphalt Paving Union City builds and maintains asphalt driveways, parking lots and private roads in Union City and the neighboring cities of Southern Alameda County. The work covers new paving, resurfacing, sealcoating, repairs and line striping.

Pavement in this part of the East Bay fails for local reasons. The city's own geology study describes clay and clay loam soils that are moderately to highly expansive, the Hayward Fault runs along the base of the hills to the east, and almost all of the year's rain arrives between November and March. Asphalt that ignores those three things cracks early. Asphalt built for them lasts.

Every job starts with a visit. We measure the area, check how water drains off it, look for soft or pumping spots, and note where the work meets the curb, gutter and sidewalk. In Union City the public right-of-way starts at the private property line, and work in it needs a separate encroachment permit from Public Works, so we tell you at the estimate whether your project reaches that line.

The written quote lists each part of the job: removal and haul-off, base repair, asphalt thickness, edges, sealing or striping, and the price of each. Nothing starts until you approve it, and any change in scope is written up for your sign-off first.
