A cold-patch in a Skiatook lot is a temporary thing pretending to be a repair. Loose mix pressed into a hole never bonds to the pavement around it, and with the lake-season surge in traffic on top of everyday local business, it works loose fast — so the hole is back before long, usually wider. Ending that means not leaving a seam to begin with.
Infrared repair does exactly that. We heat the existing asphalt in place until it softens at about 300°F, rake fresh hot mix into it, and compact old and new together into one bonded surface with no cold joint around the edge. Skiatook draws marina and lake traffic on top of its regular local trade, and a clean, seamless lot handles both without looking neglected. The repair is drivable in about an hour, and it holds instead of becoming next season’s pothole.
What an infrared repair includes in Skiatook
- The existing asphalt reheated and reused instead of a loose cold-patch that pops out
- Hot mix compacted into the softened pavement as a single bonded surface
- A sealed, seamless edge that heavy seasonal traffic cannot work loose
- Traffic-ready in about an hour after compaction
Where infrared fits — and where it doesn’t
Infrared is the right fix for surface failures over a base that is still solid — potholes, settled spots, failing seams, and trip hazards. It is not the fix for a failed base. When cracking spreads into an alligator pattern, when a spot gives underfoot, or when pavement has settled well below its surroundings, the base has broken down and reheating the surface will not bring it back. Those areas call for full-depth repair, and we tell you which one your lot needs rather than sell a patch that will not last the season.

Skiatook pothole repair questions
Does RemarkaPave serve Skiatook?
Yes — Skiatook is part of our Tulsa-metro service area, covering both the Osage and Tulsa county sides of town.
Why do cold-patches fail so fast in my lot?
Cold mix never bonds to the surrounding asphalt, so seasonal lake traffic works its open edges loose. Infrared fuses the repair to the existing pavement, which removes that weak point.
How soon can the lot take traffic again?
About an hour after compaction, and we schedule around your busy periods.
What if the base has failed, not just the surface?
Then we quote full-depth repair. Alligator cracking, soft spots, and deep settlement are base failures that infrared cannot fix.
