Serving Colton, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 679-6859
Colton Asphalt Paving serves Redlands, CA with asphalt resurfacing, new driveway installation, sealcoating, and crack repair. We work with the older housing stock, mature trees, and foothill soil conditions that make Redlands different from other Inland Empire cities. We respond to estimate requests within one business day.
Redlands has a large share of homes built before 1960, many of them with original driveways that are structurally sound underneath but worn and cracked at the surface. Our asphalt resurfacing service lays a fresh layer over the existing base, restoring the surface without the disruption and cost of a full tear-out - most jobs are done in a single day.
Older Redlands neighborhoods often have long driveways with large lots and mature trees whose roots have cracked or heaved the original surface. A full driveway replacement on these properties requires removing the old material, addressing root intrusion at the base level, and building a new surface with proper drainage.
The Inland Empire's intense sun oxidizes asphalt binders faster here than in most of California. Redlands properties that are not sealed every two to three years tend to develop surface cracking well before the base fails. Sealcoating is the most cost-effective way to extend the life of any paved surface in this climate.
Clay soils in parts of Redlands - especially in the hillside neighborhoods toward the San Bernardino Mountain foothills - move with the wet-dry cycle, which opens cracks in driveways from below. Sealing those cracks before water gets into the base prevents the kind of structural damage that turns a simple repair into a full replacement.
Commercial corridors along Redlands Boulevard and near the I-10 interchange see heavy traffic, and the parking lots and access drives in those areas develop potholes and soft spots regularly. Prompt hot-mix patching stops the damage from spreading and keeps parking surfaces safe for customers and staff.
Properties in Redlands' foothill neighborhoods on the north and northeast sides of the city sit on slopes that require careful grading before any paving work. Drainage that runs toward the foundation instead of away from it accelerates base erosion and is one of the most common causes of early driveway failure in this part of the city.
Redlands is unusual among Inland Empire cities because of the age of its housing stock. The neighborhoods north and west of downtown include Victorian and Craftsman homes built between the 1880s and 1930s, many with original concrete or asphalt driveways laid decades ago. These older surfaces have spent generations absorbing the movement of mature tree roots and clay soils, and the result is often a surface that looks simply cracked but is actually failing at the base level. A contractor who just resurfaces without inspecting the base first is setting a homeowner up for the same problem in five years.
The city also splits between flat valley-floor neighborhoods in the south and hillside properties in the north and northeast that rise toward the San Bernardino Mountains. Sloped lots require grading and drainage work before any paving begins, and a surface that does not move water away from the foundation in the foothill neighborhoods will deteriorate faster than any other factor. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, expansive soils are widespread in San Bernardino County, and Redlands sits on a range of soil types that require careful base evaluation before any paving work.
Our crew works in Redlands regularly and we are familiar with the conditions that affect paving jobs across the city. The streets near the University of Redlands and the historic downtown district on State Street are lined with older homes on larger lots, many with long driveways and mature citrus or ornamental trees whose roots have been working against concrete and asphalt for decades. We have repaved driveways in this part of the city often enough to know that root intrusion is the first thing to assess before quoting a job.
On the east side of the city, toward Citrus Plaza and out to the newer subdivisions, lots are smaller and the driveways are more standard - but the Inland Empire heat and UV exposure hit just as hard. Redlands Boulevard and Tennessee Street run through commercial areas where parking lots take heavy daily use and need regular maintenance. We also serve neighboring Highland, CA to the north and Loma Linda, CA to the west, so if your property sits near either city line we can still reach you without issues.
We reply within one business day. Let us know what you need and we will schedule a free on-site assessment - no commitment required.
We come to your property, walk the surface, and look for base problems, root intrusion, and drainage issues that affect the scope and cost. You get a written estimate before any work is scheduled.
We confirm your start date and let you know what the day will look like. For summer work, we plan early-morning starts to avoid peak midday heat.
The crew walks the finished surface with you before leaving. We give you the exact window - typically 24 to 48 hours - before the driveway is safe for vehicle traffic.
We serve all of Redlands - from the historic neighborhoods near downtown to the newer streets on the south side. No pressure, no obligation.
(909) 679-6859We work throughout Redlands regularly, from the Victorian-era homes near downtown to the newer subdivisions on the city's south and east sides. Each part of the city has different soil, slope, and driveway age conditions - we know what to look for before quoting.
Many Redlands homeowners are told they need a full replacement when resurfacing is actually the right answer - and vice versa. We walk every surface carefully and give you a straight answer about which approach makes sense for your specific driveway, backed by a written estimate.
Clay soils and tree root systems are two of the most common base challenges in Redlands' older neighborhoods. We account for both during base preparation, which is the phase of the job that determines whether a driveway lasts 5 years or 20.
Our state contractor's license is verifiable through the California Contractors State License Board at cslb.ca.gov. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation coverage, so you have no exposure if something unexpected happens during the work.
Redlands has some of the most distinctive homes in the Inland Empire, and keeping those properties in good shape requires contractors who look at the full picture - base, drainage, roots, and slope - not just the surface. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every job in this city.
