TYROLIAN VILLAGE · SINCE 1965
Hot rubberized crack sealing in Tyrolian Village.
Tyrolian Village is east on Highway 28 past Crystal Bay into Nevada, then up the hill above Incline. Robert E. Sutton Co. works out of Truckee, licensed in California and Nevada, and crack sealing is one of the three things we do. Call (530) 587-4161.
What the work involves
Cracks get cleaned out and filled with hot rubberized sealant that stays flexible through the freeze and thaw cycles. It is the highest-value pavement work at this elevation, because it stops water before water becomes ice inside your pavement.
Why it matters at this elevation
Crack sealing is the cheapest insurance in mountain pavement maintenance. The damage that finishes pavement off happens in the base, under the asphalt, and the base gets wet through cracks. Closing them with flexible hot rubber keeps the water out through a season of freezing and thawing.
This is the top of our range, and the pavement lives the hardest life of anything we maintain. Snow arrives sooner, sits deeper, and leaves later than it does anywhere lower on the list. The window for sealer is genuinely narrow, so work at this elevation gets booked early and scheduled tight.
How the job runs
Not every crack is worth sealing and we will say which. Hairlines get handled by a sealcoat. Openings from about a quarter inch to an inch are the sweet spot. Anything spread into a connected web is telling you about the base, and that is a different conversation.
Tyrolian Village pavement specifically
Residential drives and association road pavement. We carry Nevada license 29573 alongside the California one, which is what makes work on this side of the line straightforward rather than complicated.
Tyrolian Village is a residential community above Incline Village on the Nevada side of the lake, set up the hill from the main village area.
Sealing cracks on this pavement is the cheapest work available and the work that buys the most time. It is also the easiest thing to keep putting off.
Tyrolian Village sits at roughly 6,600 feet, and the pavement around it behaves accordingly. More on the area on our Tyrolian Village service area page. We work the same corridor through Incline Village, Crystal Bay, Kings Beach, Brockway, and the pavement guides go deeper on the physics if you want it.
Questions
Will crack sealing fix pavement that is already breaking up?
No, and we will say so plainly. Surface work protects sound pavement. If an area has failed down into the base it needs repair or replacement, which is paving work, and we do not pave. We will tell you which areas are which.
How long is my pavement out of service?
For most jobs, a day of work plus cure time before traffic returns, longer in shade or cool weather. Larger properties get phased so part of the pavement stays usable throughout.
Can I see what needs doing before committing?
Yes. We walk the pavement, tell you what condition it is in, and separate what needs doing now from what can wait a season. Plenty of pavement is not ready to need us yet and we say so when that is true.
