Full-Depth Asphalt Replacement for Pavement Beyond Repair
Tex Pave Experts provides full-depth rip-out-and-replace services throughout the DFW metro and the surrounding Northeast Texas communities. When a parking lot or roadway has failed at the base level, surface patching only buys time. Our crews remove the failed asphalt, address the foundation beneath it, and rebuild the surface so the problem does not return.
A multi-generational family contractor since 1990, we have replaced pavement on everything from shopping centers to distribution centers. We treat each replacement as a chance to correct what went wrong the first time.
What Rip Out and Replace Means
Rip out and replace is the complete removal of existing asphalt, down to and including the compromised base where needed, followed by fresh rebuilding. Unlike an overlay, which adds a new layer on top, replacement removes the failed material entirely. This is the right approach when cracking, rutting, or base failure has spread too far for surface-level repair.
When Replacement Is the Right Call
- Widespread Base Failure – Soft, unstable subgrade causing repeated surface problems
- Severe Rutting and Alligator Cracking – Deterioration that signals structural breakdown
- Failed Previous Repairs – Patches and overlays that keep coming apart
- Drainage-Driven Damage – Pavement destroyed by standing water and poor grade
Our Rip Out and Replace Process
- Assessment and Takeoff – We evaluate the failure, read the site, and calculate quantities in-house for a transparent estimate
- Removal – Failed asphalt is milled or excavated and hauled off cleanly
- Base Correction – We stabilize and properly compact the foundation, the step most contractors rush
- Repaving – New hot mix asphalt is placed with grade-controlled equipment for accurate thickness and slope
- Quality Walkthrough – We confirm the finished area meets grade and drainage requirements
