Experienced Asphalt Paving for Elko's Commercial & Residential Properties
With more than three decades of Great Basin paving behind us, Asphalt Protectors Inc. delivers asphalt and concrete work in Elko that accounts for what mining region pavement actually endures. Elko has cycled through booms and slowdowns since the Carlin Trend opened up, and pavement built during one cycle often has to carry the traffic of the next. Experience is what tells you which surfaces can be extended and which need to come out.
Serving Elko, NV, our full-service scope includes asphalt paving, new construction paving, rip out and replace, asphalt overlay, parking lot paving, asphalt repair, asphalt patching, saw cut and removal, crack filling, crack sealing, pothole repair, puddle repair, parking lot repair, asphalt maintenance, sealcoating, and striping. Asphalt milling is provided through subcontract partners. Our commercial concrete division builds and repairs sidewalks, curb and gutter, dumpster pads, catch basin structures, entrance aprons, and ramps, and we pave, repair, and sealcoat residential driveways throughout the area.
We put substantial resources into quality control, working with engineering firms to keep our testing and inspection standards current. Our crews are veterans of this trade, our equipment is top of the line, and we manufacture Pitch Black, one of the leading sealer products on the market, which means we understand the industry from the material side as well as the installation side.
We hold Nevada contractor license 0058389 with A-16 and A-8 classifications, and the Podnar family has owned this company since 2004.

Elko, NV
Elko is the Elko County seat and the commercial center of northeastern Nevada, with roughly 21,000 residents at about 5,050 feet along Interstate 80 and the Humboldt River. Counting nearby Spring Creek, the greater Elko area approaches 30,000. Gold mining defines the local economy, since the Carlin Trend ranks among the richest gold producing districts in the world and operations tied to Newmont, Barrick, and their contractors employ a large share of the workforce. Healthcare, education through Great Basin College, and retail fill in the remainder. The Ruby Mountains and Lamoille Canyon rise to the southeast, the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering brings visitors each winter, and the Idaho Street corridor carries much of the city’s commercial traffic.
Elko, NV sits high enough and far enough inland to get genuine winters, with hard freezes, snow, and the freeze-thaw cycling that pries cracks open, followed by hot arid summers with strong ultraviolet exposure at elevation. That combination attacks pavement from both directions, as winter opens the surface and summer embrittles it. Mining related traffic compounds the problem, since crew trucks, service vehicles, and equipment transport concentrate loads on lots originally designed for lighter use. Frost depth matters here too, and inadequate base thickness shows up as spring heaving and settling. Elko properties get the most life from full depth construction where loading justifies it and consistent annual crack sealing everywhere else.
FAQS
How does Elko's elevation and frost depth affect parking lot construction?
Frost penetrates deeper here than in lower valleys, so base thickness and drainage have to account for it. Sections built too thin heave and settle come spring. We design Elko projects around frost depth and expected loading rather than applying a generic specification.
Do you provide both asphalt and concrete work in Elko?
Yes. We handle commercial concrete including sidewalks, curb and gutter, dumpster pads, catch basin construction and repair, entrance aprons, and ramps. Combining it with your asphalt scope under one contractor removes the coordination gaps that show up between separate trades.
