Serving Rialto, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 546-5231
Rialto Asphalt Paving is an Asphalt Paving Contractor serving Montclair with asphalt resurfacing, driveway repair, and parking lot paving - backed by years of hands-on experience in the Inland Empire. We know how Montclair's post-war housing stock, clay soils, and summer heat affect pavement, and we plan every job accordingly.
Montclair has a large stock of post-war homes with driveways that are overdue for attention. When the base is still sound but the surface is cracked and faded, our asphalt resurfacing service lays a fresh overlay that restores function and appearance at a lower cost than full replacement.
When resurfacing is not enough - because the base has shifted from clay soil movement or years of deferred maintenance - a full driveway replacement gives Montclair homeowners a properly graded, compacted surface that handles drainage correctly and resists cracking from the start.
Montclair gets well over 280 sunny days a year, and that relentless UV exposure oxidizes asphalt faster than most homeowners expect. Sealcoating every 3 to 5 years blocks the sun, repels water, and is the single best way to stretch the life of any paved surface in this climate.
Clay soils across the Pomona Valley swell and shrink with the seasons, and that movement opens cracks in driveways and parking lots throughout Montclair. Targeted asphalt repairs cut out the damaged sections, regrade the base where needed, and patch the surface before water can make the problem worse.
The commercial corridor along Central Avenue near Montclair Place and the I-10 sees heavy daily traffic, and many of the older retail and service properties along this stretch have parking lots that need resurfacing or full replacement. We handle commercial lots of all sizes in Montclair.
Potholes in Montclair driveways and lots form when water gets under the surface through existing cracks and weakens the subgrade - a process that speeds up during and after the winter rainy season. We remove the failed asphalt, recompact the base, and fill potholes with hot-mix asphalt for a lasting repair.
Most of Montclair was built out during the post-war suburban expansion, with the majority of homes dating from the late 1940s through the 1980s. Driveways and parking lots from that era - often 40 to 60 years old - were designed for lighter vehicles and lighter traffic than what uses them today. The clay-rich soils common across the Pomona Valley put additional stress on these surfaces by expanding with winter rain and shrinking in the long, dry summer heat. That constant movement opens cracks from below, and once water gets in, the damage accelerates. A contractor who patches the surface without addressing the base does not solve the problem - they just delay it.
The Inland Empire climate also works against pavement in ways that contractors from coastal areas sometimes underestimate. Montclair sees well over 280 sunny days per year, with summer temperatures regularly climbing into the high 90s and past 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That heat and UV exposure oxidize asphalt, turning flexible pavement into a brittle surface that cracks under the weight of normal traffic. The combination of old surfaces, clay soils, and aggressive UV is the reason Montclair driveways and commercial lots need more frequent attention than comparable properties in cooler parts of California.
Our crew works throughout Montclair regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. The city is compact and tightly bordered - Pomona to the west, Upland and Claremont to the north, Ontario to the east, and Chino to the south - and we know the street grid well. Central Avenue and Monte Vista Avenue are the main north-south routes through town, and the neighborhoods off these streets are where we spend a lot of our time. The commercial corridor near Montclair Place and the I-10 freeway access point at the north end of the city is also a regular stop for our crew, with older retail and service properties that need parking lot work. All permits for work that affects the right-of-way go through the City of Montclair, and information is available at cityofmontclair.org.
We also work regularly in neighboring Ontario, which shares Montclair's mix of older residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Homeowners across the Pomona Valley deal with the same clay soils and heat exposure, so our approach to base prep and drainage on every job is consistent across all these cities. If your property sits near the Upland border or the Chino side of town, we cover those areas too - give us a call and we will take a look.
Call us or submit the online form and we will respond within one business day. A quick description of the surface type and the main problem you are seeing helps us prepare for the site visit.
We come to your Montclair property, inspect the asphalt and base, check for drainage issues caused by clay soil movement, and recommend resurfacing or full replacement based on what we actually find. You get a written price before we schedule anything.
On the job day, we mill or remove the old surface as needed, address any base issues, and lay the new asphalt or overlay in proper lifts. Most residential jobs in Montclair are completed within one to two days, and you do not need to be home during the work.
New asphalt needs 48 to 72 hours before vehicle traffic. Before we leave, we walk the job with you, confirm everything looks right, and explain how to protect the surface through Montclair's intense summer heat - including when to schedule your first sealcoating.
We cover all of Montclair and get back to you within one business day. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will give you a straight answer.
(909) 546-5231Montclair is a city of about 38,000 people in southwestern San Bernardino County, sitting at the boundary between the Inland Empire and the eastern San Gabriel Valley. It borders Pomona to the west, Claremont and Upland to the north, Ontario to the east, and Chino to the south. The city was built out primarily during the post-war decades, and most of its residential neighborhoods consist of single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1980s - wood-framed, stucco exterior, with concrete driveways and block wall fencing typical of this part of Southern California. More information about the city's government and services is available at cityofmontclair.org.
Montclair Place, the city's main regional shopping mall, anchors the commercial activity near Central Avenue and the I-10 freeway at the north end of town. The Montclair Transit Center nearby serves as a major Metrolink and bus hub, connecting residents to Los Angeles and the rest of the Inland Empire. The city is compact and walkable in its older residential sections, with a straightforward street grid that makes it easy to reach any neighborhood quickly.
