Pothole Repair in Hamilton, MT
Summit Surface Partners runs commercial pothole repair in Hamilton, MT — saw-cut hot-mix patches, infrared partial-depth repair, and emergency cold-mix where the calendar demands it. Ravalli County's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on asphalt, and a pothole that takes out a tire turns into a liability claim fast.
Why a local crew matters in Hamilton
Hamilton is 50 miles south of Missoula. Most regional contractors treat the Bitterroot as a secondary market they get to when convenient — meaning April quotes that don't show up until July. We schedule Hamilton as a primary market on dedicated weeks.
Bitterroot weather also reads differently than Missoula or the Flathead. Inversion cold sits in the valley longer, which extends the brine season. Local crews know that and bid for it; out-of-region crews underestimate it.

Our pothole repair process
Assess & Mark
We measure each pothole, document depth and substrate failure, and decide between saw-cut hot-mix, infrared, or cold-mix per failure mode. You get a written scope with each repair priced individually.
Saw-Cut, Base Repair, Hot-Mix Patch
Failed asphalt is saw-cut to a clean rectangle, base is excavated and rebuilt where needed, tack coat is applied, and hot-mix is placed and compacted with a vibratory roller. Edges are sealed so water can't reinfiltrate.
Reopen & Closeout
Hot-mix patches reopen to traffic within an hour. You get before/after photos, a site map of every repair, and a recommended re-inspection date so newly-developing failures don't catch you out next spring.
