Asphalt crack filling in Detroit: what to expect
Crack filling in Detroit is one of the simplest ways to protect an asphalt driveway or lot. Every open crack lets water into the base, and Metro Detroit freeze-thaw cycles widen it each winter until it turns into alligator cracking or a pothole. Sealing cracks while they are still narrow keeps the base dry and adds years to the pavement.
Professionals clean each crack with a wire brush or compressed air, and sometimes a heat lance, then fill it with hot-applied rubberized sealant that stays flexible in cold weather. Wider cracks may need backer material or a different filler, and cracks that have become webbed or sunken need a real repair instead. Late summer and fall are popular in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, before the first freeze, and crack filling is usually done before sealcoating.
Pair it with asphalt sealcoating, or see asphalt repair for failed areas. Browse all paving contractors.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Crack filling on a private driveway or lot does not normally need a building permit. Work on an approach or sidewalk in the public right-of-way may need a permit from the city or road agency (the DPW City Engineering Division in Detroit), so ask before the crew goes past the property line.
Michigan's Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license lists trades such as Concrete and Excavation but no separate asphalt paving trade, so ask which LARA license the company holds, if any, and check it on the LARA lookup. Either way, confirm a local business address, proof of insurance and references before you pay.
