About Sunrise Asphalt Co

Sunrise Asphalt Co. is a locally owned and operated paving and asphalt maintenance company serving Tucson and surrounding areas. The company works on driveways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces, offering asphalt paving, repairs, crack filling, seal coating, and chip seal. Sunrise describes itself as a family-owned and operated business in Southern Arizona, with an approach shaped by more than four decades of work in the region.

The company's history began in 1979 with a pickup truck and two employees. Since then, Sunrise Asphalt has grown into a full-service paving and asphalt maintenance company while retaining its family-owned identity. Its stated principles are to treat every project, regardless of size, as though the property belonged to the company and to keep clients involved throughout the process. Sunrise also notes that its owner is always on the job site, providing a direct presence during the work.

For new construction or replacement projects, Sunrise applies hot bituminous asphalt mix to create roads, driveways, and parking lots. The company explains that asphalt cures as it cools and dries, becoming harder over time and forming a surface designed to withstand vehicle wear. For existing pavement, its repair work may address older asphalt, a lack of maintenance, poor grading, inadequate compaction, or areas where water has been sitting. Sunrise identifies two approaches to asphalt repair, depending on the condition and needs of the pavement.

Maintenance services are intended to help extend the life of existing surfaces. Crack filling addresses pavement cracks measuring between one-quarter and one-half inch, using either hot rubberized crack filler or cold crack filler. Sunrise advises repairing cracks without delay because pavement can become brittle and allow future erosion. Seal coating adds a protective coating over an existing driveway or parking lot, helping guard against gas and oil spills, oxidation, and ordinary wear. Chip sealing uses oil and pea gravel, applied separately and then compacted together to form a sturdy surface. The company notes that oil and chip has been used for more than 100 years to resurface driveways and parking lots.

Sunrise Asphalt offers free estimates for asphalt projects and invites prospective clients to describe their project before getting started. Its work includes both smaller repairs and larger paving needs, with service available in Tucson and the surrounding Southern Arizona area. The company is licensed, bonded, and insured, and lists ROC numbers 080536, 087910, and 093832. Sunrise reports that 40 percent of its yearly business comes from returning clients and referrals. For property owners considering crack filling, maintenance, chip seal, repairs, or new paving, the process begins with an estimate and a discussion of the project's condition and requirements.
