In short: patching larger damaged areas in Orlando runs about $2–$5 per square foot as an estimate, with crack filling around $1–$3 per linear foot. An overlay over a sound surface typically costs $3–$7 per square foot.
Fix it before the rain does
Orlando's afternoon thunderstorms find every crack. Water gets through the asphalt, softens the base underneath, and a small crack becomes a pothole within a season. Repairing early is the cheapest paving work there is.
Which repair fits
- Crack filling for open cracks on otherwise sound asphalt.
- Pothole patching for isolated holes, cleaned out and filled with hot asphalt, then compacted.
- Cut-and-replace for failed areas: we saw out the damaged section, fix the base and pave it new.
- Overlay / resurfacing when the whole surface is worn but the base is solid.
Repair price guide
| Job | Estimated price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Patch / cut-and-replace areas | $2–$5 / sq ft | Small potholes priced per job |
| Crack filling | $1–$3 / linear ft | Hot-pour filler |
| Overlay / resurfacing | $3–$7 / sq ft | Sound base only |
| New asphalt (full replacement) | $7–$13 / sq ft | When the base has failed |
Estimates only. We look at the cause, not just the hole, and price the repair that will actually hold.
Signs it's past repair
Alligator cracking over large areas, ruts in the wheel paths, and water that stands after every storm point to a base that has failed. Patching those areas buys little time; replacement is usually the better spend.
Asphalt repair questions
Is a patch going to stand out?
A patch is a different shade at first. Sealcoating afterward blends the whole surface back to one color.
Can you fix a sunken spot by the driveway apron?
Yes. Sunken spots usually mean the base underneath washed out or settled, so we cut out the section, rebuild the base and pave it.
Do you fix potholes in parking lots during business hours?
Small repairs can be done in sections with cones and short closures. Larger work is scheduled around your traffic.
