Asphalt Coatings Company provides new construction paving, mill-and-overlay resurfacing, full-depth asphalt repair, pothole patching, parking lot repair, crack sealing, sealcoating, parking lot striping, preventive maintenance, drainage correction, concrete repair, curb and gutter replacement, sidewalk repair and installation, and concrete islands, dumpster pads, and stairs throughout Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. Whether a commercial property requires new construction, repair, resurfacing, maintenance, or full-depth reconstruction, Asphalt Coatings Company provides the in-house crews, milling equipment, paving machinery, sealcoating and striping equipment, and project-management capabilities needed to complete the work.
Our approach ensures that every asphalt project in Fort Collins begins with a detailed assessment of the existing pavement condition, subgrade stability, soil movement, traffic loads, drainage, accessibility, elevations, adjoining concrete, and property operations. Based on these site conditions, Asphalt Coatings Company determines whether the pavement requires preventive maintenance, localized repair, resurfacing, or full-depth reconstruction. Our asphalt services in Fort Collins support parking lots, access roads, drive lanes, loading areas, and other commercial pavement through site preparation, excavation, pavement removal, milling, subgrade treatment, aggregate-base installation and repair, grading, asphalt placement, compaction, crack sealing, sealcoating, drainage correction, quality inspection, and pavement-marking restoration. Each project defines materials, quantities, construction methods, phases, and reopening requirements before work begins.
With extensive commercial asphalt experience in Fort Collins, Asphalt Coatings Company serves retail centers, office parks, apartment communities, HOA properties, industrial facilities, distribution centers, healthcare campuses, schools, hotels, municipal properties, and new commercial developments. Asphalt Coatings Company provides commercial asphalt and concrete services throughout Fort Collins, including Old Town Fort Collins, Downtown Fort Collins, Midtown, the Harmony Corridor, Campus West, North Fort Collins, East Fort Collins, West Fort Collins, South Fort Collins, and surrounding Larimer County properties.
Asphalt Coatings Company evaluates each project individually because asphalt costs in Fort Collins depend on total pavement area, existing pavement condition, excavation requirements, milling depth, aggregate-base requirements, asphalt thickness, repair depth, drainage improvements, material quantities, equipment access, traffic control, and construction phasing. When comparing asphalt contractors, property owners should review available services, commercial project experience, local service coverage, estimated costs, qualifications, customer reviews, paving methods, material specifications, scheduling, warranties, written estimates, completed projects, and local climate experience before selecting an asphalt company.
Our approach is designed around Fort Collins operating conditions and climate, where commercial pavement must withstand freeze-thaw cycles, snowmelt, moisture infiltration, expansive soils, seasonal temperature changes, heavy traffic, and high-altitude UV exposure. By evaluating site conditions before determining the appropriate scope, Asphalt Coatings Company can recommend a maintenance, repair, resurfacing, or reconstruction approach based on the specific pavement and property requirements.

Our Business Owner's Association switched to Asphalt Coatings recently, and the quality of their work has been fantastic. Not only that, Shawn has been an extraordinary educator and guide for us, helping us map out overdue repairs and long term maintenance so we can set a reliable budget. I'd highly recommend Asphalt Coatings!

Asphalt Paving, Repair & Maintenance Services in Fort Collins

Asphalt Coatings Company operates as a full-service commercial asphalt contractor in Fort Collins, handling every phase of pavement work, from new construction paving and mill-and-overlay resurfacing to crack sealing, sealcoating, and ADA-compliant parking lot striping. Each service targets a specific stage of the pavement lifecycle.

Commercial Asphalt Paving in Fort Collins, CO

Asphalt Coatings Company provides commercial asphalt paving in Fort Collins for parking lots, access roads, drive lanes, and new construction sites. We place commercial-grade hot mix asphalt with its own crews and its own paving and milling equipment, compacting each lift with steel-drum rollers to specified density, on surfaces ranging from 5,000 sq ft parking lot overlays to 200,000 sq ft industrial and distribution yards. Every paving project includes engineered base preparation with aggregate compacted to the traffic loads the surface will actually carry, drainage grading that prevents ponding, and tack coat applied between lifts so each layer bonds to the one beneath it. The details that separate a 20-year pavement from a 10-year pavement in Fort Collins’s freeze-thaw climate.

Asphalt Repair & Crack Sealing in Fort Collins

Asphalt Coatings Company provides commercial asphalt repair and crack sealing in Fort Collins, including hot-pour rubberized crack sealing, saw-cut full-depth patching, pothole repair, and mill-and-overlay resurfacing. Asphalt Coatings Company has been repairing commercial pavement across Fort Collins and Northern Colorado since 1986 and uses Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) approved crack sealing materials on every crack seal. Repairing commercial asphalt in Fort Collins requires understanding why the damage occurred. Not just patching the visible symptom. Fort Collins’s 100+ annual freeze-thaw cycles push water through unsealed cracks, erode the aggregate base, and create voids that collapse under traffic. ACC diagnoses the root cause of every failure and applies the correct repair method: hot-pour rubberized crack sealing to stop water infiltration, saw-cut full-depth patching with base compaction for structural failures, or mill-and-overlay resurfacing for widespread surface deterioration. Every repair uses hot mix asphalt. Not cold patch. Compacted to specification for a permanent fix.

Pothole & Patch Repair

Parking Lot Sealcoating, Striping & Maintenance in Fort Collins

Asphalt Coatings Company provides parking lot sealcoating, striping, and preventive maintenance for commercial properties in Fort Collins. We apply commercial-grade sealer on the two to three year cycle that blocks UV oxidation and keeps water and oil from reaching the binder, then restripes as part of the same job, laying out ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, crosswalks, and directional arrows while the surface is still blank. Scheduled maintenance is what keeps a mature lot out of reconstruction. Sealcoating on interval and sealing cracks as they appear are the two practices that most reliably extend pavement service life in Fort Collins’s freeze-thaw climate, and they convert unpredictable emergency repairs into a budgeted multi-year program. Investing in timely maintenance prevents far costlier premature replacement.

Parking Lot Sealcoating

Commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealcoat that protects pavement from UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills.


  • Two-coat spray application

How a Fort Collins Asphalt Contractor Diagnoses Pavement Failure

Fort Collins’s 5,003-foot elevation delivers 25% more UV radiation than sea-level cities. Its 100+ annual freeze-thaw cycles push water through cracks into the base. Its expansive clay soils shift seasonally. A commercial asphalt contractor in Fort Collins must diagnose which of these forces caused the damage before prescribing the correct repair.

Alligator Cracking (Fatigue Cracking)

Root Cause: Base failure beneath the asphalt surface, typically caused by water infiltration through unsealed cracks. Fort Collins’s freeze-thaw cycles (100+ per year) accelerate sub-base erosion, causing the asphalt to lose structural support. The interconnected cracking pattern resembles alligator skin and indicates the pavement has reached the end of its structural life in that area.


ACC Solution: Full-depth patching with base repair, or mill & overlay for widespread areas

Longitudinal & Transverse Cracking

Root Cause: Thermal contraction from Fort Collins’s temperature swings (summer highs above 95°F, winter lows below 0°F). Asphalt shrinks in cold weather, creating linear cracks that run parallel or perpendicular to the direction of paving. Without sealing, water enters these cracks and accelerates deterioration through freeze-thaw action in the sub-base.

ACC Solution: Hot-pour rubberized crack sealing to prevent water infiltration

Oxidation & Surface Raveling

Root Cause: Fort Collins receives 300+ days of sunshine per year. UV radiation breaks down the asphalt binder that holds aggregate together, turning the surface from black to gray and causing loose aggregate (raveling). The pavement becomes brittle, porous, and susceptible to water damage. Untreated oxidation reduces pavement life by 30–50%.

ACC Solution: Commercial sealcoating every 2–3 years to block UV and restore binder protection

Potholes & Depression Failures

Root Cause: The final stage of untreated cracking. Water enters cracks, saturates the base material, and freeze-thaw cycles create voids beneath the surface. Vehicle traffic collapses the unsupported asphalt into the void, forming a pothole. Fort Collins’s clay-heavy soils retain moisture and expand/contract seasonally, compounding sub-base instability.

ACC Solution: Saw-cut removal, base repair & compaction, hot mix asphalt patch

Drainage & Ponding Issues

Root Cause: Improper grading or settling that creates low spots where water collects. Standing water accelerates asphalt deterioration by softening the binder and saturating the base. In Fort Collins, ponding water that freezes overnight creates ice hazards and accelerates pothole formation. Poor drainage is often the underlying cause behind recurring repair needs.

ACC Solution: Regrading, catch basin installation, and infrared asphalt repair for low spots

Faded Striping & ADA Non-Compliance

Root Cause: UV exposure and traffic wear degrade pavement markings within 12–24 months in Fort Collins’s high-altitude sun. Faded striping creates confusion, reduces parking efficiency, and exposes property owners to ADA compliance violations, which carry fines of $75,000+ for first offenses. Worn fire lane markings also create fire code violations.

ACC Solution: Full re-striping with traffic-grade paint, ADA compliance audit & upgrades

Why Fort Collins Property Managers Hire Asphalt Coatings Company

Choosing a commercial asphalt contractor in Fort Collins comes down to six factors that directly impact pavement longevity, total cost, and project outcomes. ACC delivers on all six.

40+ Years Paving Fort Collins

Asphalt Coatings Company has operated as a commercial asphalt contractor in Fort Collins since 1986. Four decades of paving in Colorado’s climate means ACC understands how 100+ freeze-thaw cycles, 5,003-foot UV intensity, and expansive clay soils affect every decision, from hot mix asphalt design to base depth to drainage configuration.

Full-Service Asphalt & Concrete Contractor

Asphalt Coatings Company paves, mills, repairs, crack-seals, sealcoats, stripes, repairs concrete, installs ADA ramps, and designs drainage. All with in-house crews. Hiring one asphalt company in Fort Collins for every service eliminates coordination between trades and ensures a single point of accountability.

Free On-Site Pavement Assessment

Every commercial asphalt project starts with a free on-site visit. An Asphalt Coatings Company project manager walks your property, assesses pavement condition using visual and structural evaluation, identifies the root cause of damage, and delivers a detailed written scope with transparent pricing within 48 hours. No pressure, no hidden fees, no obligation.

Root-Cause Diagnostic Approach

Asphalt Coatings Company diagnoses the cause of pavement failure before prescribing a repair. A pothole caused by base erosion requires saw-cut full-depth patching with base compaction. Not a cold-patch cosmetic fix. ACC identifies whether the issue is freeze-thaw base failure, UV oxidation, drainage, or traffic loading, then recommends the most cost-effective solution. A $3,000 crack seal prevents a $30,000 overlay.

Commercial-Grade Paving Equipment

Asphalt Coatings Company owns and operates commercial paving equipment, asphalt pavers, steel-drum vibratory rollers, cold milling machines, and truck-mounted spray sealcoat systems. Commercial equipment achieves the compaction density and surface smoothness that CDOT specifications require, light-duty equipment cannot deliver the same result on commercial parking lot and roadway projects.

Three Colorado Office Locations

Asphalt Coatings Company operates from Aurora (16275 E 2nd Ave. Front Range headquarters), Colorado Springs (4740 Forge Rd STE 110B) & Fort Collins (11 Old Town Square STE 260), providing fast crew mobilization to commercial asphalt projects across the Front Range. Local crews mean faster response times, lower mobilization costs, and familiarity with municipal permitting requirements in Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, and surrounding jurisdictions.

Yes. ACC provides both asphalt and concrete services for commercial properties. Concrete work includes sidewalk repair and replacement, curb and gutter replacement, ADA ramp installation, concrete flatwork and pads, and trip hazard grinding. Having one contractor handle both asphalt and concrete eliminates coordination issues between separate trades and ensures consistent quality across your entire property.

ACC handles commercial asphalt projects ranging from 5,000 sq ft parking lot repairs to 200,000+ sq ft new construction paving. Our equipment fleet and crew capacity allow us to efficiently handle small patch jobs, mid-size parking lot rehabilitations, and large-scale paving projects for retail centers, industrial facilities, and HOA communities. Project size does not affect our commitment to quality, every project receives the same diagnostic assessment, detailed proposal, and professional execution.

Yes. ACC provides comprehensive ADA compliance services including accessible parking stall striping, van-accessible space markings, ADA-compliant curb ramp installation and replacement, detectable warning surface installation, accessible route design, proper signage placement, and slope verification. ADA violations carry fines starting at $75,000 for first offenses, making compliance a critical consideration for any commercial parking lot project. ACC can audit your current lot for ADA compliance and recommend necessary upgrades.

The cost of a commercial asphalt project in Fort Collins depends on project size, existing base condition, specified asphalt thickness, drainage requirements, and site access, and it varies between paving, mill-and-overlay, sealcoating, crack sealing, and striping. ACC provides free on-site assessments with detailed written proposals, we don’t quote over the phone because every commercial property has unique conditions that affect pricing. The assessment, diagnosis, and proposal are all free with no obligation.

The ideal asphalt paving season in Fort Collins runs from April through November, when air and ground temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Hot mix asphalt requires warm conditions for proper compaction and bonding. Sealcoating requires dry conditions with temperatures above 50°F for proper curing. Crack sealing can be performed year-round. ACC recommends scheduling paving and sealcoating projects in spring or early fall to avoid summer heat premium pricing and ensure ideal curing conditions. Winter emergency patching is available for safety-critical repairs.

Project timelines depend on scope: parking lot sealcoating (10,000–50,000 sq ft) typically takes 1–2 days. Crack sealing takes 1–3 days. Parking lot re-striping takes 1–2 days. Full-depth patching (10–20 patches) takes 2–4 days. Mill and overlay of a 50,000 sq ft parking lot takes 3–5 days. New construction paving of 100,000+ sq ft takes 2–4 weeks. ACC coordinates timing around your business operations and can perform work during nights and weekends to minimize disruption.

Yes. ACC provides free on-site assessments for all commercial asphalt projects in the Northern Colorado region. An ACC project manager visits your property, assesses pavement condition, discusses your goals and budget, and delivers a detailed written proposal with itemized pricing, recommended scope of work, and project timeline, typically within 48 hours of the site visit. There is no charge and no obligation. Call (970) 665-4441 or submit a request through our website to schedule your free assessment.

Fort Collins’s climate creates three distinct challenges for commercial asphalt. First, freeze-thaw cycles: Fort Collins experiences 100+ freeze-thaw cycles per year, where water enters cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks apart the asphalt from within. Second, UV exposure: at 5,003 feet elevation with 300+ days of sunshine, Fort Collins’s UV intensity oxidizes asphalt binder faster than lower-elevation cities, causing premature surface raveling and brittleness. Third, expansive soils: much of Fort Collins sits on clay-heavy soils that expand when wet and contract when dry, creating sub-base movement that causes cracking and settling. ACC designs every commercial asphalt project to account for these three factors.

In Fort Collins’s high-UV, high-altitude environment, commercial parking lots should be sealcoated every 2–3 years. The first sealcoat should be applied 12–18 months after initial paving, once the asphalt has fully cured. Fort Collins’s intense UV exposure breaks down asphalt binder faster than in lower-altitude cities, making regular sealcoating especially important for Colorado commercial properties. A consistent sealcoating program can extend pavement life by 15–20 years compared to unprotected asphalt.

Potholes in Fort Collins form through a predictable sequence: unsealed cracks allow water to penetrate the asphalt surface. The water saturates the aggregate base material. When temperatures drop below freezing (which happens 150+ nights per year in Fort Collins), the water expands by 9%, creating voids and pushing the asphalt upward. When it thaws, the asphalt settles into the void. After repeated freeze-thaw cycles, the weakened asphalt collapses under vehicle traffic, forming a pothole. The solution is preventive: seal cracks before water enters the base. A $3,000 crack sealing job can prevent $30,000 in pothole repairs.

Yes. Fort Collins’s elevation of 5,003 feet means approximately 25% more UV radiation reaches the ground compared to sea level. This accelerated UV exposure oxidizes the asphalt binder (the “glue” that holds aggregate together) significantly faster, causing the pavement to turn gray, become brittle, and lose aggregate (raveling). This is why sealcoating is even more important in Fort Collins than in lower-altitude cities. ACC uses sealcoat products specifically formulated for high-altitude UV resistance and recommends more frequent application cycles than national averages.
