Asphalt Paving in Commerce City, CO
Enright Asphalt is based in Henderson, right next to Commerce City, and has been working as a asphalt contractor in Commerce City for over 30 years. We understand what high-load commercial and industrial surfaces require, and we build pavement to hold up under that kind of use.
Commerce City is one of the most industrially active communities in Colorado. The area around East 96th Avenue and the I-270 corridor sees heavy commercial traffic, distribution activity, and dense industrial use. That puts significant load demands on pavement that most residential paving contractors are not equipped to handle.
Why Commerce City Property Owners Choose Enright
Family Owned, Personally Accountable: Enright isn’t a brand name, it’s our last name. Every job we do in Commerce City either builds or hurts that name. When your name is on the work, you make sure it’s worth your name.
30 Years of Front Range Experience: That means you get a contractor who has seen how Commerce City’s freeze-thaw cycles, clay soils, and elevation affect asphalt over time and builds your project accordingly from the start.
BBB Accredited with an A+ Rating: You get honest quotes, no bait and switch, and base prep that doesn’t get skipped to protect a margin. That’s how the rating gets maintained.

Commercial Paving
High-traffic commercial environments need pavement built to a higher spec. Distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and busy retail lots are not the same project as a residential neighborhood parking lot. We design commercial paving solutions around the actual load and traffic patterns of your site.
We also handle phased paving for businesses that need to maintain access while work progresses. We plan around your operations and communicate clearly before each phase so you know what to expect.
Commercial Sealcoating
For Commerce City businesses, parking lot sealcoating is part of asset management. A sealed lot lasts longer, costs less in cumulative repairs, and presents better to customers and employees. We work flexible schedules around your operations, including nights and weekends.
We help commercial clients develop an asphalt maintenance plan that accounts for traffic load, current surface condition, and budget. That plan takes the guesswork out of when to seal, repair, or replace.
Parking Lot Striping
Parking lot striping is a safety requirement, not an aesthetic one. Faded lines mean confused traffic patterns and ADA compliance gaps. Our parking lot striping team handles both new lot layouts and restriping of existing lots.
We use traffic-grade paint that holds up under heavy commercial use and Colorado weather. ADA-compliant accessible parking, van-accessible spaces, and pedestrian crossings are laid out to current federal standards.
Asphalt Repair
The industrial areas of Commerce City are harder on pavement than almost anywhere else in the metro. Heavy trucks, chemical spills, and constant traffic wear through surfaces faster than typical commercial use. When pavement shows distress, addressing it quickly limits the damage.
Our asphalt repair services range from crack filling and pothole patching to full-depth reclamation for sections where the base has failed. We assess what is actually needed instead of applying a band-aid fix that fails again in a season.
Driveway Paving
If your driveway is past the point of repairs making financial sense, a full replacement is the right call. Cracked, uneven, or heaving asphalt is a safety risk and only gets more expensive the longer it is ignored.
Our asphalt driveway paving process covers everything: excavation, grading, base installation, compaction, and final surface. We pay particular attention to drainage grade so water moves off your driveway instead of pooling against your foundation.
Driveway Sealcoating
Commerce City homeowners should plan on sealing their driveways every 2-3 years. That schedule keeps the surface protected and extends pavement life significantly. Replacing a driveway costs many times more than maintaining one.
Our driveway sealcoating service is straightforward. We clean the surface, fill cracks, apply the sealer, and get out of your way.
What Commerce City Pavement Is Up Against
Commerce City sits on alluvial soils deposited by the South Platte River. These soils can be sandy in some areas and more cohesive in others, depending on proximity to the river basin. Where drainage is poor, standing water accelerates base deterioration. Heavy truck traffic adds to the load stress.
The climate does not help. Commerce City gets the full Colorado freeze-thaw cycle, and industrial areas get less snow removal attention than residential neighborhoods. That means standing ice and repeated freeze-thaw events do more cumulative damage over time.
Getting base depth right is critical in this environment. Thin bases crack under heavy loads. Proper drainage built into the grade prevents water from pooling and working into the structure.

How Enright Diagnoses Pavement Failure in Commerce City
Commerce City pavement fails for six main reasons, and the fix only holds if you treat the right one. Asphalt cracked by industrial truck weight needs a different repair than asphalt damaged by an oil or fuel spill. A contractor who patches both the same way will watch both fail within a season. We figure out what caused the damage before we tell you how to fix it.
Industrial Truck Weight Damage
Root Cause: Commerce City sits at the heart of metro Denver’s industrial corridor with the Suncor refinery and dozens of distribution centers. Loaded semis, tankers, and dump trucks roll through every day. Each truck pushes the base down a little more, and the surface eventually cracks.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
For lots that handle heavy truck traffic, we build a thicker base layer and use commercial-grade hot mix asphalt. That handles the weight without breaking down.
Petroleum and Solvent Damage
Root Cause: Diesel, gasoline, and hydraulic fluid spills are common in Commerce City’s industrial lots. These chemicals dissolve the asphalt binder right where they land. Small spots soften, sink, and turn into potholes within months.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We cut out the contaminated section, dispose of it properly, and patch with fresh asphalt over a clean base. For lots that see frequent spills, we recommend a fuel-resistant sealer.
Disturbed and Fill Soil Movement
Root Cause: A lot of Commerce City is built on disturbed industrial fill from old yards and storage sites. Fill soil settles unevenly because it wasn’t engineered to carry pavement. Your lot can sink in random spots over five to ten years.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We core the soil to check for fill before any major repair. Where we find loose fill, we rebuild the base with compacted aggregate so it can carry the load.
Magnesium Chloride Brine Corrosion
Root Cause: CDOT sprays magnesium chloride brine on I-270, I-76, and Highway 2 as the main de-icer. The brine sticks to truck tires and gets dragged onto your lot. It soaks deep into the asphalt binder and breaks it down.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
Sealcoat every two to three years to block the brine and rebuild your surface protection. If your pavement already shows brine damage, we mill and overlay the affected areas, then finish with a full sealcoat.
Heavy Plow Damage on Industrial Lots
Root Cause: Commerce City lots stay open through every storm because freight has to move. Plows run hard and often, and the blades scrape the surface every pass. Damage shows up at loading dock edges, drains, and any structure the blade can catch.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We repair dock edges and do full-depth patching where plows have torn things up. Then we add commercial-grade striping built to survive heavy plow and forklift traffic.
Freeze-Thaw Alligator Cracking
Root Cause: Denver crosses 32°F more often than colder northern cities, which means more freeze-thaw cycles every year. Water seeps into unsealed cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and slowly breaks the sub-base apart.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
For small alligator-cracked sections, we do full-depth repair and rebuild the base underneath. For larger areas, we mill the surface and put down a fresh asphalt overlay.
