Deep-Dive: Our Core Divisions.
We separate our services into specialized engineering divisions, ensuring that every project receives certified technicians, optimal heavy machinery, and rigorous material quality assurance.
Civil Infrastructure & Earthwork Engineering
Civil infrastructure is the foundation of any successful commercial or municipal development. At Patriot Asphalt and Construction, we oversee complete site packages, starting with site clearing, grubbing, and mass excavation. Our heavy machinery operators employ advanced grade control systems to execute earthwork according to complex engineering profiles, ensuring correct surface drainage and foundation stability.
A crucial step in New Mexico civil construction is roadway base course preparation. We source premium aggregate base course (ABC) materials, applying precise moisture-conditioning and compaction testing (Proctor density validation) to achieve structural subgrade compliance. This prevents early shifting, cracking, or settling on heavy-traffic roads, access lanes, and commercial properties.
Asphalt Paving & Parking Lot Maintenance
Asphalt is a highly cost-effective, durable choice for roadways and commercial parking lots when installed under professional standards. Patriot Asphalt and Construction specializes in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) paving, asphalt overlays, and comprehensive pavement rehabilitation. Our crews control the exact temperature of the asphalt mix during paving to achieve optimal structural integration and compaction under heavy rollers.
Maintaining your asphalt investment is key to avoiding costly full-depth replacements. We provide top-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealcoating to protect asphalt from the oxidization caused by Albuquerque's intense UV radiation. Furthermore, our hot-pour crack sealing blocks water infiltration into the sub-base, preventing structural collapse and potholes. We ensure all markings meet ADA-compliance standards.
Commercial Cool Roofing & Single-Ply Systems
Commercial roofing in New Mexico must be designed to withstand severe thermal expansion, high winds, and heavy downpours during monsoon season. We specialize in thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), PVC, and EPDM flat roof installations. TPO is highly reflective, deflecting solar heat and reducing building energy loads. Our installation team uses automated heat-welders to seal seams at the molecular level, creating a completely waterproof envelope.
For structurally sound roofs experiencing surface aging or minor leaking, we offer high-solids silicone roof coating restorations. Silicone coatings establish a seamless, monolithic membrane over existing flat roofs, eliminating seam failures and providing up to 20 years of renewed water resistance. This option avoids expensive tear-off costs and landfill waste, supporting sustainable construction.
Engineering Built for the
Desert Southwest.
Building in New Mexico's arid, high-altitude environment requires specialized material science and soil engineering. Standard methods used in other regions fail here due to intense UV exposure, extreme thermal cycles, and unique soil compositions.
Our engineering team evaluates soil stability, UV degradation, and thermal shock on every project site. We select materials that block solar heat, prevent subgrade moisture migration, and adapt to expansion stresses without cracking.
Extreme UV Protection & Reflective Roofing
Albuquerque's intense solar radiation (high UV index) degrades asphalt and roofing materials rapidly. We use premium cool roof membranes and heavy-solids silicone sealers that reflect up to 85% of solar heat, lowering building internal cooling loads and preventing UV cracking.
New Mexico Soils & Base Stabilization
Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Santa Fe county soils feature a mix of sandy loam, alluvial silt, and expansive clay. We implement rigorous excavation and compaction protocols, sourcing certified aggregate base course (ABC) materials to construct stable subgrades that prevent asphalt settling.
Thermal Expansion & Drainage Systems
Daily temperature swings in the high desert create intense thermal expansion and contraction on roofs and paving. We engineer joints and custom flashings to absorb these movements, alongside heavy-duty drainage scuppers to manage heavy monsoon cloudbursts.
A Trusted Subcontractor for
Top-Tier General Contractors.
For large-scale commercial developments, industrial expansions, and municipal road projects, general contractors need subcontractor partners who adhere to rigid timelines, clear safety protocols, and certified quality standards. Patriot Asphalt and Construction regularly collaborates with top GCs in Albuquerque as a trusted tier-1 subcontractor.
We coordinate closely with project management teams, submitting comprehensive submittal packages, safety documentation (OSHA compliant plans), and accurate scheduling schedules. By keeping our excavation, paving, and roofing operations in-house, we eliminate mobilization delays and guarantee clear communication at every milestone.
Sustainable Infrastructure &
Material Recycling.
At Patriot Asphalt and Construction, we aim to reduce landfill waste and carbon footprints across our civil operations. We actively implement reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) techniques on parking lot rehabilitation and municipal road maintenance projects. Cold milling existing asphalt surfaces allows us to recycle the aggregates and binders, processing them into new, high-performance base mixes.
In our commercial roofing division, we promote silicone roof restorations over full roof tear-offs. Installing silicone coatings extends the lifespan of older roof assemblies by 15-20 years, saving building owners thousands in disposal costs and preventing thousands of pounds of old roof debris from filling New Mexico landfills.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Find technical answers about soil compaction, asphalt life-cycles, and TPO roofing options optimized for New Mexico properties.
Q: Why does New Mexico soil require specialized compaction protocols?
New Mexico soil profiles commonly feature loose sandy silt and pockets of highly expansive clay. Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, creating substantial pressure under pavements and structures. If soil compaction and moisture density relationships (Proctor standards) are not handled correctly during excavation and base prep, asphalt surfaces will shift, buckle, or crack. We perform rigorous site testing to ensure structural subgrade stability.
Q: What is the advantage of choosing TPO roofing over other flat roof systems?
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is the premier flat roofing system for the desert southwest because of its outstanding solar reflectivity and heat resistance. TPO membranes reflect up to 85% of incoming UV rays, keeping commercial structures cooler and reducing air conditioning operational costs. Additionally, TPO seams are heat-welded together at high temperatures rather than glued, ensuring a waterproof seal that resists New Mexico's severe wind and rain storms.
Q: How long does commercial asphalt paving last, and how can we extend its life?
A professionally designed and installed commercial asphalt parking lot will last between 15 and 25 years in New Mexico. However, high-altitude sun exposure and water infiltration will shorten this lifespan. To protect your asphalt investment, we recommend applying commercial-grade sealcoating every 2 to 3 years. Sealcoating shields asphalt binders from oxidation, while hot-pour crack sealing blocks water from reaching and eroding the aggregate sub-base.
Q: Can an existing commercial roof be restored with a silicone coating?
Yes, as long as the existing roof assembly is structurally sound and the insulation is dry. If an infrared roof moisture scan reveals the insulation is not wet, a high-solids silicone roof coating can be applied directly over TPO, PVC, EPDM, or modified bitumen membranes. This forms a seamless, monolithic layer that seals leaks, extends the roof lifespan by 15 to 20 years, and saves the owner up to 50% compared to full roof replacements.
