Services
New Paving
New paving involves installing fresh asphalt over native soil or existing bases for new construction or expanded driveways. Ideal for correcting grading issues, this service ensures long-lasting surfaces. Kern Asphalt provides fast, free estimates for all residential and commercial projects.
Pavement Overlays
Pavement overlays apply a new asphalt layer over existing surfaces to restore durability. A tack coat ensures adhesion, making this solution cost-effective for moderately damaged roads. Kern Asphalt assesses existing conditions to determine if overlays are suitable for your project.
Pavement Repair
Pavement repair addresses potholes and localized damage with hot mix asphalt. Timely repairs prevent safety hazards and costly deterioration. Kern Asphalts experts quickly resolve small issues to protect your pavement investment and maintain safe surfaces.
Seal Coating
Seal coating applies protective emulsion to asphalt, guarding against UV damage, moisture, and wear. This preventative maintenance extends pavement life while enhancing appearance. Kern Asphalt recommends regular seal coating to reduce long-term maintenance costs for commercial properties.
Concrete Recycling
Concrete recycling crushes and repurposes demolition waste into reusable aggregates. Kern Asphalts mobile units process materials on-site, reducing transportation costs. Recycled products serve as cost-effective base materials for new construction projects in Bakersfield and surrounding areas.
