In Business Since 1953

Monroe Asphalt has a rich history, starting in 1953 when Herbert Koester founded the company, emphasizing honesty and quality. He was joined by his brother and sons, setting industry standards that have endured over decades. In 1973, Herb's oldest son, Dave, took sole ownership and led the company for 50 years.

Today, Dave's oldest son, Darren, continues to carry on the family legacy, maintaining the high standards and values initiated by his grandfather over 70 years ago.

Asphalt & Sealcoating Services

Residential and Commercial Spaces

Paving

We use hot-mix asphalt. It is the most commonly used material for paving driveways, parking lots, roads, and other asphalt surfaces. Asphalt is durable, resistant to heavy traffic, weather, and easily repaired to extend its lifespan.

Sealcoating

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to extend their lifespan and enhance their appearance. It acts as a barrier against UV rays, water, chemicals, and general wear and tear, preventing cracks, oxidation, and potholes from forming.

Asphalt Repair

Pothole and crack repair is crucial to maintaining asphalt surfaces and preventing further damage. Over time, cracks form due to weather exposure, traffic stress, and water penetration. If left untreated, these cracks can widen and lead to costly repairs.

Striping

Traffic striping enhances safety, optimizes traffic flow, and ensures regulatory compliance.

Monroe Asphalt did an amazing job on our driveway. Professional team of workers. The owner was great and came over to go over exactly what we wanted. It turned out amazing!

Laura

I like that he asked if I wanted to be there for the estimate to ask questions and show him exactly what I wanted... instead of just showing up and leaving without me knowing, like other places. Professional. Good price. Punctual. Did a great job. Would definitely recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my asphalt needs to be replaced or just repaired?

If your asphalt surface has widespread cracks, potholes, or severe damage, it may be time for replacement. However, if the damage is localized, repairs or resurfacing might be sufficient. Monroe Asphalt Co. can assess the condition of your asphalt and recommend the best course of action.

How soon can I use my driveway after it’s been paved?

You should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before driving on a newly paved asphalt driveway. For concrete, it's recommended to wait at least 7 days before putting any heavy loads on it, although light foot traffic is usually safe after 24 hours.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

A properly installed and maintained asphalt driveway can last 15 to 20 years or more. Factors like climate, usage, and maintenance play a significant role in its longevity. Regular sealcoating and prompt repairs can extend the life of your driveway.

What is sealcoating, and why is it important?
