Hamilton’s busy enough without more road and lot maintenance slowing things down.
Keeping your asphalt healthy and strong takes the right care. Here’s how we handle it:
Sealcoating is like mud on a pig—or sunscreen for asphalt. Its tough layer protects against cracking and fading from Hamilton’s unforgiving weather. Add that durability.
Potholes are a pain, especially in Steeltown. So we don’t mess around—we use hot patching to fuse the new asphalt with the old. It’ll be ‘like-new’; ready to take on whatever the road throws at it.
Fixing cracks when they show up means they don’t stand a chance. We clean them up and use a flexible crack filler that seals tight, keeping water out and preventing any further damage.
We don’t just lay asphalt—we build driveways and parking lots to last. Here’s how we get it done, from start to finish.
Before we get to work, we size up the site. We check drainage, slope, and even the soil so that we’re prepared. We’ll also talk design and finish to make sure you’re getting what you want. Good planning here means a solid, long-lasting job.
We excavate and prep the ground. Compacting the subgrade makes sure nothing shifts later, and if the ground’s unstable, we reinforce it with stone.
H2O is your asphalt’s worst enemy. We grade the surface and install drainage to keep rain and snowmelt from causing problems down the road.
Once the ground’s set, we lay down a solid base of crushed stone or gravel, compacting it to distribute loads evenly and give your asphalt the foundation it needs.
Hot asphalt goes down in layers, each one carefully compacted. If it’s a commercial lot, we add more layers to handle heavier traffic.
We don’t walk away until it’s done right. Clean lines, sharp edges, no shortcuts—just solid work done with pride.
We don’t hang our hats just yet. We give it a final inspection, check drainage, and make sure everything’s up to our 5-star standards.
Asphalt takes a beating from the elements—cracks, potholes, and fading are just the start. Sealcoating acts like a shield, protecting your asphalt from water, UV rays, and chemicals, all of which can wear it down and shorten its lifespan.
In a city like Hamilton, where the weather’s always throwing something at you, sealcoating is a must. Winter’s freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction, leading to cracks. In the summer, UV rays dry out the asphalt, making it brittle and prone to damage. Sealcoating puts up a strong defense, helping your asphalt stand up to Hamilton’s weather and keeping it in good shape for the long haul.
For smaller residential jobs like driveways in Ancaster or Stoney Creek, expect to pay between $3 to $6 per square foot. Bigger projects, like parking lots in downtown Hamilton or industrial areas, run from $2 to $5 per square foot, since they’re larger in scope. These prices cover materials, labor, and the gear needed to get the asphalt down.
Several factors affect your final cost:
Project Size: Bigger areas mean lower cost per square foot because materials and labour scale up. But remember that the higher the total cost, the more surface area.
Material Choices: Not all asphalt is created equal. High-quality mixes (like larger aggregate) may cost more upfront but last longer and hold up better over time.
Preparation Work: If your site needs a lot of prep—like grading, drainage work, or removing old asphalt—that will add to the price. A solid base is key to making sure your asphalt lasts.
In Hamilton, local regulations and the weather can also impact costs:
Regulations: Depending on where your property is, you might need specific processes to meet municipal codes.
Weather: Hamilton’s freeze-thaw cycles can be rough on asphalt. Proper prep and drainage solutions are critical and can add to the overall cost.

We know Hamilton like the back of our hand—there’s nothing like the contrast between our tough winters and the hot summers and the local regulations that keep things in check.

With the right care and maintenance, asphalt paving in Hamilton can last 15 to 20 years.
Hamilton’s tough climate, with cold winters and hot summers, plays a big role in how long your asphalt holds up. When temperatures drop, any water in the asphalt freezes, causing the surface to expand and contract, leading to cracks and wear. If not maintained, this wear adds up over time.
Regular inspections, crack repairs, and sealcoating every few years will keep your asphalt protected from weather, moisture, and traffic.
At King Asphalt Maintenance, we bring local know-how, top-grade materials, and a commitment to getting the job done the right way.
Whether it’s a small driveway in Corktown or a commercial parking lot by the waterfront, our team delivers tough and reliable asphalt services.

Keeping your asphalt in good shape means regular upkeep:
Sealcoating: Sealcoating adds a protective layer that shields your asphalt from cracking and fading under Hamilton’s rough weather. It’s like a guard dog for your pavement. We recommend reapplying every 2 to 3 years to keep it strong.
Handling Salt Damage: Winter salt can eat away at your asphalt over time. To prevent damage, give your pavement a regular rinse during the season to wash away any excess salt.
Crack and Pothole Repair: Don’t let small cracks or potholes grow into bigger issues. Address them early with quick fixes to save yourself from costly repairs later on.
We believe in doing the job right while keeping an eye on the environment. We use sustainable materials, like recycled asphalt, to cut down on waste and help preserve Hamilton’s natural landscape—all without sacrificing quality.
